Chapter 1: Journey
As many years before, the village of Tida had gathered their eldest children for the new caravan. Each time this had happened, it gave new promise to Tida. This year they had gathered 7 people to help their town.
That night was dark, but it had little stars dotting the sky, so one could easily see where they were going. As traditions followed, they were to meet at the town centre. The first one there was Yhargis.
Yhargis was a yuke and was very neat. His bronze helmet was always shiny and his purple outfit was never wrinkled or loose. He was tall, like all other yukes, and many of the lilty folk had trouble looking straight at his face without straining their necks.
Yhargis stood alone watching a star twinkle as two more children came. They were both selkies, probably from the same side of town.
The female one was named Shara Ne. She was very pretty for a selkie, and she always had her pink hair neat, with her bangs tied back with a clasp. Her clothes were bright orange and had always caused the young children to laugh at them. Although they had had that reaction, they all agreed she looked best in that colour.
The other selkie was a male named Dahn Mi. He was a very strange one, although you couldn't tell by looking at him. His purple hair was short and spiky at the top. His outfit was dark blue with grey fur. He had worn that colour all his life; I think he had a liking for it. His appearance made him look calm and normal, but he was far from.
As the two selkies had made their way to the centre, they stood by Yhargis. Shara Ne was looking for a conversation, as Dahn Mi was looking for … (ahem)…something else. The rest of them had come in a group, except for the lone selkie a little behind them.
Elliot was a male clavat. He had blond hair, which was usually sticking up. His outfit was green and white, which were two colours that complimented him. The thing that the girls loved him for was his face. He had a very handsome face. His complexion was soft and he had the bluest eyes you'd have ever seen.
Celeste was the girl tagging along beside him. She may have a pretty name and long, beautiful brown hair, but her personality did not match them. She had such a horrible temper and was mean to any girl who tried to steal "her Elliot" away. I think her temper was the reason why she wore a red dress.
The other girl was named Sienna. You're probably wondering why she didn't look like a selkie, clavat, lilty, or yuke. That's because she was a half-breed; she was half-selkie, half-clavat. It was strange, because she looked too much like a selkie, to be considered a clavat, but too much like a clavat, to be a selkie. Her outfit was like none other seen. She wore a white open top that was short and showed most of her stomach areas. It had a grey fur border and long white sleeves. She wore a skirt that was to her knees that had a thin leather belt. She wore black and white patterned stockings and beige boots. She looked very pretty in her outfit, regardless that she was a half-breed.
The final one in the group was a male selkie. His name was Naza Dat. He was very enigmatic and was mostly silent. When he did talk, you would have to listen carefully, because he never repeats himself. His light blue hair flowed down his back and his eyes were green and deep. His outfit was red and black. This made him even more mysterious.
All of them circled the town centre, all was silent. An old man, the village elder, motioned them to follow him, and they all walked with him to the caravan. As they go there, he bid them farewell, and their journey was underway.
