A 12-year-old boy lives in the swamp with his parents, until his parents decide to separate from their son for his disobedience, then the boy named Mush, regrets and asks for help from an old frog who separated when Mush was a baby, so Mush ends up going on a long journey of life lessons and truly learning the value.

Mush was born in this magical swamp, he lived most of his childhood with his parents in their village, but Mush was not the most obedient and polite child, he always fought with his parents for not letting him do what he wanted.

One day, Mush's parents lost patience with him, and ended up leaving, leaving him alone at home, but that didn't end well, while Mush's parents were going to live far from Mush, they came to a place they shouldn't pass, but ignored it, and then, they ended up being swallowed by a giant tree that inhabited the swamp, which was exactly the danger that had in that place.

Mush doesn't know where his parents went, and he started to regret it, and so, he tried to act, looking for help in the village, but nobody wanted to help him, and there was no one to take care of him, Mush is only 12 years old, but even so, he decided to go on a journey to look for his parents and try to apologize for everything that happened.

So he decided to get a frog hat that, his parents gave him, Mush is really very friendly with the swamp frogs, they all have the ability to talk like humans, and so Mush decided to look for a frog that followed him a lot. when he was a very small child, but they ended up falling out.



Mush then decided to go to a very bright spot in the swamp, with a lot of fireflies and glowing mushrooms, and that was the place that this frog had gone, Mush agreed that he would never see him again, but it was the help that Mush knew and would not do harm to him.

Mush then decided to look around a bit and, he saw the frog in a little corner by himself, and he said why Mush came back, he really didn't want any more contact, and then Mush said that, he really needed his help, he knows a lot about the whole swamp, and that he wants help in helping his parents who ran away from him because he was not polite.

The frog didn't expect much, he really knew that Mush was not the most obedient, and that a promise was made between them that they would never walk together again, so the frog just said what Mush should do, and maybe, they could rebuild a trust.

The frog really understood what Mush said, that he really needs help, but he said that, he needs to understand some things first before he wants to save them, that he really should earn it, this left Mush confused, but the frog said that, things must be this way.

Then the frog said that, he should go to a small forest in the swamp, and that he should talk to a greenish tree that he found there, but this was not just any forest, it was a dark and scary forest, Mush was dying out of fear, but the frog said that, he just needs to trust himself so that nothing goes wrong.



Mush decided to accept, even with a lot of fear, he went in this forest, and the fog in the forest was so strong that, he couldn't see what was five meters away from him, and Mush was shaking because of that, he also looks completely lost in the forest, but the frog said so, never give up.

So finally, Mush found the green tree, so Mush tried to talk to this tree, but she didn't answer anything, and so Mush decided to touch the tree, until the tree started sucking Mush's arm and also his left foot, Mush started screaming thinking he was going to die.

The tree started to growl, and then the roots that swallowed the Mush cut, and they stuck to Mush's entire right arm, and also his left foot, and then the tree said that, it was too small and that it prefers something big, Mush crying, was confused by all this.

Mush is now permanently with his arm and foot covered in roots, and Mush doesn't want that forever, he really thinks he regrets telling his old frog friend that he was just hurt and tricked, and so, he decided to go back to the frog.

When he went back to the frog, the frog looked like he already knew what was going to happen, and that was really it, and then Mush, asked the frog why he said to talk to this tree and trick him, but the frog said that, Mush really needs to learn a lot.

All else the frog said is, let Mush go back to his house and, think about what happened in the forest, maybe something the tree said, and pondering all of that, Mush was confused as to what it is." reflect", and the frog said that, he must figure it out himself, Mush then, very sad, decided to go back to his house and sleep, trying to find out what the frog meant.

Then on the way to the house, he saw what he turned into, and started crying again about it, so he tried to look in the water's reflection, and he saw how weird it got, but now, Mush thought of the word "reflect" and, he thought of the water that, reflected in him, and so Mush tried to think hard now, but still doesn't know.

Mush then finally got home and tried to sleep, but it was a very hard sleep for Mush, he really couldn't stop thinking about what the frog said, until he fell asleep, and then he had a dream that saw his parents falling in a big hole, and Mush woke up and screamed in fright, and found this dream very strange.

It was morning, and Mush still didn't understand what the word "reflect" really means, and what everything that happened in the forest had to do with it, so he decided to look for the frog again, and as usual, disobedient, the frog said that, he should just come back when he understood, but Mush didn't know what else to do.



And then Mush went again to the place where the frog always stays, and then the frog wasn't there anymore, but Mush ended up not paying attention and while looking for him he ended up falling off a hill, with luck he survived but fell in a place where there were trees with colorful leaves.

And so he decided to walk in this forest, and then fairies appeared and, they started putting colored leaves on Mush, they put yellow leaves on Mush's left shoulder, and blue leaves on his right leg, and Mush then wondered what these fairies are, and if this was real.

So at the end of the forest, Mush found a fountain that, the water was completely colored, so Mush thought he was in a paradise and, that he could have fun for the rest of his life just there, so Mush got in the pool and started playing in it, but he just forgot something very important.

Mush went into that forest and, completely forgot what he should do, forgot to discover the reflection, forgot that he should save his parents, and imagined that just that there would be enough for him, and then he heard a voice talking about it, and then yes, it's the frog.

Mush ended up being very sorry for that, and because of that, the frog called him a fool, that he just completely forgot about his parents, and completely lost value for them, Mush again started crying about it, and the frog said that the forest is just a danger to his life, he must keep going and never give up.

Mush then decided to leave and come back, but he remembered that, he fell off a hill, but now he doesn't know how to get back up, but he couldn't give up, he really should keep going, until he finally started to better understand what it really is, the reflection.

He started to see his reflection in the water again, and he's starting to understand now, he really needs to understand his mistakes, he really needs to put in the effort, and have to really deserve and suffer the consequences that his actions did, and then Mush, after standing still for a long time and thinking, began to climb the hill without stopping.

And he got it, now, he's more confident and, he understands what he really went wrong, and now, he must know where his parents are, but he also think on what the tree on the forest said, "something big and not small", and he know a place that's like that, but he needs help with other people on that.

So he went back to the village and asked for the help of an old woman who was already very sick but knew everything in the swamp, Mush said everything and she said that her parents must have gone towards a dangerous place that, could not be surpassed, so what was Mush to do?

The old woman understood everything Mush felt and everything he went through, and that it won't be easy to go alone in this place, and the old woman was already in her last days, so the old woman helped Mush, but in exchange for something, the life of the old woman, but Mush didn't want her to die because of him.

Still, it was what the old woman wanted, and that was really her wish, Mush understood, and he said goodbye to the old woman before she died, so the old woman went inside her house with Mush, and everything she did was, to use a spell to remove all the power sealed in their body, to create a potion of strength for the Mush.

But as it was said, the potion would cost the old woman her life, so the potion came about, but the old woman fell to the ground and, died, and before she died, she wished Mush good luck and that, really make good use of the potion, so Mush decided to drink the potion, and then he started to feel a lot stronger, and now it only means one thing.



Now he has enough strength to get past the dangerous place his parents went, and so Mush went to this place, and managed to get past all the traps with the strength of the potion, and then finally, he arrived at the huge tree that swallowed your parents.

But he found the frog again, and the frog said that now he really understands what he needed, what he needed to learn, suffer and win, but now, there will be another loss, this tree will only release his parents. in exchange for something.

And the exchange is a life, but who can that life be? Yes, the frog decided that, he will be the life, it's one of Mush's last consequences, he understood that, everything he did, would result in the frog having to sacrifice himself, and now is the time, the frog decided that, the Mush said no, but the frog also did it for Mush, for surviving everything he's been through, and for everything he's survived and learned.

And then it happens, the frog starts getting sucked into the tree, the tree swallows the frog, but he will be forever sealed in that tree, and when the frog is swallowed completely, his parents appear, passed out and weak, so Mush screamed and woke up them.

At that moment, Mush apologized for everything he did, and he ended up understanding that, his parents were also wrong, the two were ignorant with each other and, the two didn't value each other, and at that moment, the three cried, but now, with much happiness that, they're back and that it's all over.

Mush's parents have seen Mush's transformations, but Mush's parents now like Mush even more, and they like Mush the way he is, and so the three of them returned home, and Mush had a surprise for everyone in the village.

Mush was then rewarded by many, giving various accessories to Mush's body, and now Mush is shiny, like all the swamp, and now he's shiny, and the big brave, boy from the magical swamp.

Mush.

Well, I could actually make some parts of this skin cleaner, but I wanted to try something extremely detailed, and with my more advanced shading style, this was the skin I spent the most time on, I think I could have done some things better, but I think that's enough for me.

I had a lot of work to do the drawing, because I'm not the best at drawing, it's just a drawing to better understand what Mush would look like outside Minecraft, ignore the bad perspective and lack of shading, the purpose was just to show.

And as for the story, I had a really long time typing, and even more having to translate to English on Google Translate because, I first made the story in my language, so ignore certain mistakes, I tried to correct as much as I could.

The images I did on a amplified world, and I did everything very quickly, just to demonstrate a little bit what the locations of the story are like.

But basically that's it, it was really a lot of work, and except the skin, I did everything these in just one day.
