Finding 'Discordy' - A Minnows tale.

The deep blue Steemit ocean is a scary and confusing place for minnows.
Danger is everywhere and without friends and protection life can be unrewarding and sadly short lived. This is the story of one minnow called Tremper and his adventures to find the safe haven known as 'Discordy'.

Tremper was so small and insignificant when he arrived in the Steemit Ocean. At first he was full of wonder, hope and excitement at his new home and the life he hoped to build however it didn't take long before he realised that he had no friends in this new place and without friends it is very hard to survive.

Life was hard at first for little Tremper but he kept working hard, grew bigger and tried to find friends. One day he met his first real friend in the Steemit Ocean. He was a funny looking friend all the way from the Tasman sea, this friend changed little Trempers life, the friend's name was Nightsir.

Nightsir had lots of friends back home in the Tasman sea and many more in a place Tremper had never heard mentioned before, a place called 'Discordy".

What's Discordy?" Tremper asked

"Oh it's a wonderful place" said Nightsir, "I have so many friends there who are important in the Steemit Ocean, I can introduce you to them, they'll help you grow and keep you safe"

"In fact I have a great friend not far from here who will help us get you there.
He's a Toker Turtle called Ausbitstoned"

The friends swam off to look for Ausbitstoned, "How will we find him in this huge Ocean?" asked Tremper. "Oh that's easy" said Nightsir, "He'll be out scoring Seaweed, I know exactly where to find him"

True to his word Nightsir led Tremper to the bottom of the Ocean where the 'dealer fish' operated to try to track down the Toker Turtle. After hours of swimming they finally found him, and boy was he toasted!

"Little Duuuuuuddde!" shouted Ausbitstoned when he saw Nightsir approaching, "Who's your friend? And more importantly does he have any Dorito's?"

"Hey Ausbitstoned" said Nightsir, "This is my new friend all the way from the English Channel, he's called Tremper and he's trying get to Discordy, will you help?"

"No worries little dude" said Ausbitstoned, " Are you sure you haven't got any cookies, maybe a pie or a Chicko roll?"

"Sorry Ausbitstoned we don't have any snacks, but I'm very pleased to meet you." said Tremper. "Where are you from?"

"A little Aussie town in Queensland called Goddaluvadoobie, it's an Aboriginal name" said Ausbitstoned.

"It's sure sounds like my kind of town" said Tremper "Maybe I'll go there one day"

"That'd be ripper" said Ausbitstoned "You could hang out with my boy Little Stoner"

"Look here's a picture of the little fella"

"Aww he looks cool" said Tremper. "But how are we going to get to Discordy Ausbistoned, and when can we leave?"

"Easy buddy, we're gonna take the Steemteamtrain!"
"What's that?" said Tremper.
"You'll see......."

So off they all swam, the two friends followed the Toker Turtle through the big blue Steemit Ocean for hour after hour, then in the distance something started to come into view.
"What's that?" said Tremper.
"It's the Steemteamtrain" said Ausbitstoned and Nightsir in unison.

Tremper was in awe, for as far as his eyes could see were Toker turtles! Thousands of them swimming at such speed it created a vortex called the Stemteamtrain in which the friends could ride to Discordy.
"Jump on my shell little dudes" shouted Ausbitstoned, "Let's goooooo!"

The friends were swept along in the Steemteamtrain. Tremper and Nightsir were all of a sudden surrounded by dozens of smaller Toker Turtles.
"Dad!" shouted one. "Little Stoner" shouted Ausbitstoned.

"Hey Dude's meet my boy Little Stoner"
"Pleased to meet you Little Stoner" said Tremper and Nightsir.
"G'day friends" said Little Stoner "Pleased to meet you too, this is my cousin Fillosopherstoned, he lives near us in Wannapuffabong"

As they rode the Steemteamtrain to Discordy Tremper made so many friends from the Tasman sea and barrier reef, he really started to feel like part of a community that cared.
A community that welcomed you regardless of which ocean you had come from.

All of a sudden Ausbitstoned shouted "Get ready to jump off little fellas were nearly there, on my count one , two, three and jump"
With that Tremper and Nightsir leaped from Ausbitstoned's back and they could just hear him shout "See ya later little dudes" as he rode the Steemteamtrain back home.

As they slowed down and came to a halt, they got there bearings and looked around. Behind them was the site they had been waiting to see.

Tremper was afraid, as they all looked so big and scary. Nightsir could see his was afraid and said "Don't be afraid Tremper they're much less scary than they look, I'll introduce you"

"The big one in the middle is Angryed, he's from the eastern seaboard of America. He looks mean but he's the main guy in Discordy, he'll help you grow into a really big fish one day."
"On the left is Cococan and on the right is Temustem the inventor of the Steemteamtrain. They're both from the Pacific north west and they support all the minnows when they arrive here."
"Finally the guy at the back"
"What guy, where" said Tremper.
"Me" said a booming voice

Tremper was so shocked he nearly passed out. For out of the shadows came the biggest whale he had ever seen.

"This is Ben" said Nightsir "He's a Jojo whale and he's the reason the others can help all of us minnows, he's the kindest whale in all the oceans"

"I'm pleased to meet you all said Tremper once he'd got back his composure. I'd like to come and stay in Discordy and maybe grow into a really big fish one day"

"That remains to be seen" said Temustem.

"We'll help all we can" said Cococan.

"If you help us get the message out, we'll help you grow" said Angryed.

And so it was, the big fish of Discordy nurtured little Tremper and in turn he used his time there to try and encourage more little Minnows to come to Discordy to learn to be better Steemians.
Tremper swims the Ocean of Steemit along with the Whales and has never been happier.

The longer he stays in Discordy the more great minnows he will meet so far he has met many friends such as, Shane the shiny shelled whelk, Sammollusc, Muxxy the Monkfish, Rhondakrab, doggedi dogfish, Arbtrarycatfish, Perceptualflounder, justcallmefish, fisheganos, theprophet0ctopus (reaching there)and many, many others I can't link a fishy theme to but they're all great Steemians.
