Discovering me.
Updated at May 13, 2025, 22:11
I have been training my whole life to defeat some magical creature, so that I can get to the next level. In my world you need to be able to fight not only to survive but also to be a saviour of other people's life's.The fighting gets done by females as well. if they choose to. which can get them out of marriages or into marriages. My sister who is older than me is also way stronger than me. she helps me to train at times and never let's me of easily, although it usually ends up with me collapsing. Then being carried into the house for resting. She says that I am improving. This I cannot prove. I am carter and I am the child of a chief who fought to his last breath for his people. he was amazing. I live with my mother and sister in the village, situated on a hill near the origins forest. We are always surrounded by our people as they build around us to keep us safe. This is funny because we fight the magical creatures to keep them safe. it doesn't make sense but that's the way it is. our village is set up in such a way that those who are vulnerable are closer to the center. meaning single mothers with children will be given the huts that are closest to the cheif and even single dad's who have kids. The warriors and there family are on the outside and have bigger huts because there huts should have extra guest rooms. for hosting other clans warriors. My sister being as cool as she is went to the forest to collect her spear. Which marks the start of her journey as an adult. After she nearly left us heart broken because we thought that she had gone missing. “I was so happy that I ran around screaming in the streets that I have the coolest sister in the world!” While the villagers looked at me like I was crazy but I didn’t care.That alone was awesome, but the real magic came after. Yes after she came back with a leave that turned out to be a whole tree that was alive from the other forest. I was obsessed with this tree from the minute I knew that it could move and it only tried to kill me several times. Then some day my awesome sister called it to order.I guess Angie and her friend where tired of fighting with the tree that had pretty interesting ideas on how to kill me. I would have been honoured to be killed by the tree it was a legend just by being so alive and I would have been its first kill how neat would that be. Over time I started to fight against it as instructed by my sister.Probably she was worried because I would in any case spend to much time at the great Willow, to admire the tree so while it was not allowed to kill me. The tree didn’t leave the chance to give me a whooping my grandkids would feel. Fortunately keyway the healer was always around to take my battered but in for healing. I swear that I could always here him faintly complain that he didn’t sign up to baby sit crazy prince Carter. If only he could refuse my sister request! Which no one can do by the way. I am not sure of the specifics, though I am pretty sure it became so after she came with the tree to keyway hut. One of these days as I rested I’m feeling Kiway At work trying to heal my body with the Pee of the Willow tree as I call it where as they say it’s the sweat of the willow tree. Well these two things smell and taste the same so I thought it would be best to call it pee. I had a dream about a war. One that was between ancients and us and by us I mean with magical creature being on our side and some few ancients that I have never met but I have heard about because we where disturbing there peace to get the spear that made us adults. Funny thing that happened in that war was that the tree fought while on Angelique hand yet it was so big now that it would hinder her view and would be to heavy for her to carry now.I fought amongst other trees that where trying to come to life.I also had a special power in the dream which wouldn’t come into view an the trees where trying to prompt me to do something but I couldn’t tell what.All I could do was watch in horror as my sister was in danger fighting something my father couldn’t defeat or buy time without his life being at stake. I woke up screaming.When I saw kiway running in to calm me down.I settled down yet I was sweating.“he said I was having a fever.” So I was detained from going home for some day’s while I recover. kiway didn’t bother to tell anybody about this. Which caused Angie my over protective sister and Nehu to come looking for me like a lost coin. When she heard what had happened she kept looking at the tree like she would kill it.I found this to be funny, which she was not happy about. I told her over and over that the tree had no fault in all of it. I claimed that I injured it as much as it injured me. Needless to say this did not count for anything.She went on and on about how the tree is not as important as me.Which came with the reminder on how the tree can heal itself.Then the torcher about how Tiphany will end up without a groom because I am “being careless

if you look closely she is beautiful with brown eyes that look a bit sleepy. She has short hair that is spiky with a firm body that is to burst into puberty. She is wearing the skin of a tiger. Angelique is about to die. Die by nature’s laws. A magical creature is ready to pounce on her. The creature is the size of an elephant yet it’s super fast with quite the balance. Looks like a big Jaguar with sharp whisker needles that can be sprouted out like a porcupine, it has long fangs and the eyes of a snake that can put you into a trance. This is what is holding her in place, the Minchitah’s eyes. The minchitah leans back as it takes off from the ground. She sneezes. Her eyes momentarily closed, as a result she moves and crouches down while taking hold of her spear. Pushing it up in a swing motion. She is holding it upright with both hands. The minchitah realizes while in mid air that he had lost her and she is now focused. Sensing the crisis he immediately starts to turn. To the right but he got scratched by the spear enough to be bleeding. The scratch started at his belly and went to his left thigh. He growled both in pain and in anger then started shooting out his needle like whiskers randomly. Angelique is quick to take cover in the trees and stands behind a big tree trunk. She knows that she doesn’t have to hide long as the spear's toxin will be effective soon. While she waits she hears someone coming in her direction in full speed and he starts slashing at the whiskers that are being tossed in her direction and have been hitting the tree all this time. He has arm bands that have claws of a tiger attached to his hand. He is lean with a six pack a cute face with brown eyes and A short pan made out of the tiger skin. She was still shocked so she had a late reaction but pulled her brother by his pants behind the tree. He looked at her and started to whine. You never let me rescue you so how am I supposed to learn to save a Princess. How are you supposed to rescue a princess when you are. Dead! Your training is not complete and the most important part, you have skipped. You know, the part where you should use your head before charging forward. But… No but! You didn't bother to read the situation-you just jumped in. If one whisker had landed on you, we’d be sprinting to the old Willow, not because I was in danger but because you were careless again. The Minchitah is about to die, he has a deep cut so your sacrifice and rescue mission was not necessary. While she said this the Minchitah staggered for the last time and fell to the ground while whimpering softly. With shallow breathing. In a few more minutes it died. Carter now realized his mistake and had a sorry face. When his sister looked at him she felt pity for him. Don’t worry, one day you will rescue a Princess. For now let’s call mom to harvest the minchitah for our village weapons. Carter ran back home to tell his mother. After he did this his mother then blew the horn twice for the warriors to come to her, then she told them to follow her son, to where they should harvest. She stood at the entrance of the kraal as they left in the direction carter came from. She now looked worried and too old for her age. She has beautiful skin , brown eyes that looks sleepy but also tired. She has a lean firm body with a single scar Ellena is her name. Yet everyone in the village refer to her as chief ever since her husband died, a few years ago. Why did you leave Gary. Now your kids keep placing themselves in danger every chance they get and you are not here to protect them. It was as if he was standing there with a handsome face that had green eyes that would now be saying sorry but I can’t help it. He had a strong body that looks too big for his thin legs he has muscles all over his body but was very warm hearted, understanding and supported the needs of the people with a smile and pride that was shocking. He loved to go on adventures with his little girl even when she was supposed to be doing village chores. Which was for the girls especially but he would always say girls can do better than boys if they wanted to. Now she stood there thinking of hitting her imaginary husband with a slap because his daughter is doing exactly what he taught without him being around to protect her when something goes wrong. She is pulled out of her thoughts buy rustling branches, at the edge of the forest but it’s just her daughter. Where have you been young miss? Angie pouts and did not want to answer because she knows that this would lead to an argument. Yet in her culture not answering would also be disrespectful to your elders. At our border patrolling. From when, are you part of the perimeter patrol. Since dad left the post open, for leading the patrol. Since you took this position, where are the warriors that you claim to lead. Well I just did what dad has always done. What do you mean by that young lady? Dad always sneaked out of the house at 3:00 AM to do t
