Introduction!

Plot: Snufkin goes on a journey with his aunt, Khaliah, who is Joxter’s older sister. Snufkin at the time was 4-5 years old and had never met his father so he was excited to finally meet him (she comes to visit the Mymble when the clan’s Seer informs Joxter he has a son). However, during the journey to where the Joxter was situated, the two are ambushed by a group of creatures who capture mumriks. They are taken to a camp with at least 100 odd mumrik, who are all trapped in cages or in a fighting area at the centre of the camp. It’s here Snufkin gets his harmonica from his aunt. They meet a man named Rahh, an old grey mountain mumrik (more info on types of mumrik will be posted with examples, tagged as #MumrikRaces). They spend about a week in this camp before Snufkin and Rahh escape, unfortunately, Kahliah dies while distracting the guards. Rahh carries Snufkin in a small wooden crate all the way to a beach. This is where Snufkin’s love of the sea starts because it reminds him of his survival and how precious life is. The two spend 2 days on the shore before they set off again towards where the Joxter is camped.

Once they arrive, Snufkin realises that Joxter is a member of a clan, one of the largest in the world. over 150 mumriks are in this clan and it’s always increasing, little by little. Rahh is greeted by Joxter after a few minutes of chatting between the clan leader Ekavir. Rahh hands of the crate Snufkin is inside and begins to explain how he believes Kahliah may be dead. after the news, Joxter is clearly upset but continues as he normally would. He takes Snufkin to meet his Wife Fauna and their one-year-old daughter, Aura. Snufkin spends 5 years with the clan as a full member, he gets close to the leader’s daughter Amala who is the same age as Snufkin. During his time in the clan, Fauna passes away while giving birth to a son named Joseph (this is 2 years after he arrives at the clan).

 Snufkin is now aged 9-10 years old, which in mumrik culture is when a mumrik is old enough to survive alone. He is best friends with the clan leader’s daughter, Amala. He is being bullied by an older mumrik boy named Baltek (he’s 11-12 years old). Baltek frames Snufkin for a crime and gets him banished from the clan.

Snufkin leaves and travels alone for a year before he meets Moomin! He meets Moomin the same way he does in the movie and series. The plot of the AU continues after these when they are all teenagers/young adults.
