The sun slowly rises, bathing the forest in its warm morning glow, stirring me from my sleep. The moment the suns rays hit my face, which it hit rather hard, I fall out of the tree I had been sleeping in, looking up to see my captain, Xander, already up, and smiling down at me.
"You have a room in your lab, and a good one at that, in my opinion…Why do you not use it?" He chuckles, holding his hand down to help me up. I smile slightly up at him, my eyes adjusting to the light. I grab his hand gently, as he helps me up, pulling me into a hug. "Its just….before I made the lab, I either slept in the wolfs den or in the trees, I prefer the trees, out of force of habit." I smile slightly, finding it sort of hard to explain it to him. "To each their own, I suppose…" Xander mutters slightly, seemingly distracted for a mere moment, before turning his attention back to me. "Get ready…Today we have a big day ahead of us." I nod and smile, rushing in and changing into some fresh, clean armor, before rushing back out to him. In the clan it is important to get an early start on the chores and jobs of the day, the sooner their done, the more time we have to ourselves. If past experiences hold any meaning, its that time, and personal space on occasion, are very important to our way of life. I am given my list of chores, which rotate weekly, and set to work. From milking the cows, getting the hens eggs for breakfast, and such things. After a few hours, I am invited to Crystal Lake with the guys, all the work finally done. I smile and run to the lake, happy to be done and to see the guys, just to hang out normally, which was a rarity lately with al the fights breaking out between clans. Xander puts his I-pod into an I-home and starts playing 'Cuntsiclestick' by DotDotCurve, as we all sit around an unlit fire-pit, talking.
"I hear talk of the one called Quan-Chi has been spotted roaming Earthrealm…" Xander says, somewhat worried, and he has every reason to be worried as well. "Quan-Chi?...I thought that guy was just a myth, to scare kids into staying out of the graveyard after dark…" Blue pipes up, putting his two cents in. I chuckle slightly, talking as we get wood for the fire-pit. "No, he is all too real, guys…hes not that bad though, once you get to know him and get used to him…Yes, hes a root of all evil, but from my experiences, not that bad…" This grabs everyones attention, as we finish gathering the wood. "What do you mean by your 'experiences?'" Xander asks curiously, now watching me like a hawk. I sigh slightly, now regretting bringing him up. "Ok, sit, its sort of a long story…It all happened when I was just a young adult…" Xander cuts in "Your still a young adult…" I facepalm slightly, smiling a bit. "….about 500 or so years ago. When I was traveling and training on my own, exploring the realms, by myself…"
