I don't remember what happen when Commander Washington brought Conner and I the apple of Eden; We were just sitting by the fire, relaxing. I was resting my head on his shoulder, staring at the fire, then Commander Washington came on a horse. And show us the apple, my marking reacted to the apple, by glowing. Conner reach out to it and everything was engulf in a bright light.
I remember screaming out Conner's name, then flashes of a different life in my mind. Who's life is this? Is this. . . me? Did I do theses things? I asks myself as I fell to black.
Julie groans as she flutter her eyes open as she turns over and grip her head, "Oh my head hurts. . . ." she groans, then a wet nose press against her cheek, she turns her head over, as she vision focus. A white wolf licks her cheek, Julie push herself up onto her knees. She looks at the wolf, he looks at her, waging his tail and barks happily. She blinks at him, then ruffles his furry head. "Normally this would freak a girl out, but I'm use to it." she said as she ruffles his fur. Her eyes shots to her wrists and her surrounding; an open wide meadow, with colorful flowers.
She quickly stood and looks at her new outfit; dark brown short shoulder-less deer skin shirt wrap tightly around her chest, a 'V' opening on her collarbone. A blue and white arm-brace on her left forearm, three bracelets on her right wrist with brown wrapping on both of her wrists.
Brown pants, a belt hung on her left hip, brown boots to her knees. Her markings were more showable, Julie's long back hair was in down with a few small braids, a pendent with a few feathers hung in her braids. A dagger hidden in her boot.
Julie spun in a circle, lost for words. "Ok, Julie just breath. You've been in weirder situations than this." Julie mumbles to herself then walks off, the wolf follows her. Julie looks at the wolf. "I have no idea where I am right now, so I'll take all the help I get, come on Keske." she states. Keske just barks in response. She ran along the woods then heard yelling, she follow the sound. Then she spotted blue coats with a captured native woman. Keske growls with a killer look in his eye, Julie jumps out of hiding. "Hey! pick on some your own size!" Julie shouts at them, they all look at her and advance onto her.
"Keske!" she shouts, then the wolf attack one of the blue coats by the throat. Julie ran up to one jumps on him, twist his neck. Killing him one the spot, when one was coming up behind her, he was killed with a Tomahawk.
She looks over and saw two Indians coming towards them. Julie walks over to the huntress and checks on her, Julie help her stand on her feet, Keske tots over to her. "Why has Washington sent his men to raid the frontier?" the woman demands as she held a knife to a blue coat's throat. Julie looks over at her. "What. . ." she states, "Washington?" Conner asks as well. "To find somebody – a woman who tried to take it from him." he informs her, "He will not find me by you." she tells him and slit his throat.
"I don't understand, Washington is no longer Commander-and-Chief." Julie mumbles to herself. "He retired to mount Vernon." the native man states."A lovey story, Ratohnake:ton, Kuckunn:iwi. But you both know that Washington went mad with power long ago. I tried to stop him but failed, now I have brought down his wraith upon my people." she tells them, "What are you talking about, none of this makes. Are we eve-" Julie said, but was interrupted.
"King Washington's men are raiding Concord right now, murdering everyone. They're looking for you Kaniehti:io!" the woman informs them, "KING Washington?" Conner asks her, "Come Ratohnhake:ton, Kuckunn:iwi." Kaniehti:io tells them, pulling Conner along. Julie follows after them. Keske follows after her. "I never imagine he would strike out so recklessly." Kaniehti:io mumbles, "Are you talking about Commander Washington? Why did that woman call him king?" Conner asks her. As they all ran to a cliff.
"Many innocent people are suffering because of me, not only the villagers, but we need to save as many people as we can." she tells him, Julie stood next to Ratohnhake:ton as she looks at the village, fire. That's what she can see. "So Washington is terrifying men, woman, and children. To what, get back at you?" Julie asks her. "I am afraid so, Kuckunn:iwi." she tells her.
Julie grunts and jumps off the cliff. "Kuckunn:iwi, come back here!" Kaniehti:io shouts at her, Julie ignores her, Keske follow after her. "Stubborn child, just like her father. Come Ratohnhake:ton, we must help her." Kaniehti:io tells him and they ran down the cliff.
Julie kill all most all of blue coat, thanks to Ratohnhake:ton and Kaniehti:io. Julie and Ratohnhake:ton grab the broads nailed to the door and pulls at them, "Free them! This is all because of me. . ." Kaniehti:io tells them. The boards came off and Julie pulls the doors wide open. "Get out of town, far as you can. Hide in the woods!" Julie tells them, the three follow them. "Ratohnhake:ton! Kuckunn:iwi!" Kaniehti:io shouts after them, then a something explodes in front of them.
Julie flew back along with Conner, her ear rings as she slowly push herself onto her feet. Then was pull back by Kaniehti:io and hid with her, they look up and saw blue coats firing at them with cannons. She scuff, then the bell on top was hit with a cannon and fell, lucky the three dodge the bell tower. Julie shot to her feet and suddenly felt dizzy. "Kuckunn:iwi, you must not faint now!" Kaniehti:io shouts at her and helps her stand, "What's happening to me?" she asks her. "Now is not the time for questions!" she shouts.
She swings her arm over her shoulder and helps her run up the hill. Conner follows after them, they got to the top of the hill and fired onto the marches waves of the blue coats. Julie laid against the stone wall as she pants from the dizziness she was experience, a villager stay by her side and kept her safe. After the cannon firing, Julie stood on her feet and follow after them both into the burning village.
"Kuckunn:iwi! You mustn't be here!" Kaniehti:io yells at her. "What? Wait! What's going on?!" Julie demands of her. But the neigh of a horse, the three turn their attention to the man on the horse in the distance, it was Washington; Julie felt her body pulse as her markings start to faintly glow. "There she is! The savage that tried to steal this, the source and symbol of my power." Washington states and held up a scepter and the Apple of Eden was attach at the top of the scepter and glows with a low hum.
"Gaze upon it! For it will be the last object you will ever see! I come here to destroy both you and your sad village, for none like will be allow to live!" he shouts at them, Kaniehti:io went to step forward, but Conner steps forward and pulls her back a bit.
"Commander Washington! Why are you doing this? After all we accomplished? Get a hold of your senses!" Conner shouts back at him, Washington just laughs at him, Julie place her hand on his shoulder. "Another delusional savage. I have never has such a firm grasp on my senses. Now been your knee to your monarch, and make penitence in the last moments before you are blasted to your dread reward!" he tells him, then Julie steps forward.
"Washington! Have you gone mad?! Why do you have the Apple of Eden? What's going on?!" she shouts at him, "Silence!" he yells at her, Julie stagger back a bit in Conner's chest and he pulls her into his arms. "Corporal! Take care of them!" he orders, Conner and Kaniehti:io fought off the incoming blue coats, Keske follows after her, biting into their throats. Julie and Conner kill off the blue coats that went to to insight the fuses.
"He tried to destroy an entire town. It is all my fault." Kaniehti:io states with regret. "I do not understand. Washington knows me, knows us. He is a man of reason, if nothing else. But that was not the man I once called my friend." Conner states, Kaniehti:io looks at him. "Are you confused? When would you have ever met that monster?" she asks of him, "We've met him… I…, this is all wrong. Washington, the violence, all of it!" Julie growls, but then became dizzy again. Kaniehti:io help her seat down.
"We must get back and warn our people in the village before the mad king spreads his destruction there and get Kuckunn:iwi somewhere safe." she informs them, Conner pulls Julie to her feet and help her move to the horses. He pushes her onto a chestnut horse and mounts up behind her and rode off after Kaniehti:io. Julie looks out to the people, seeing and hearing some become slaughter and murder, she leans against Conner's shoulder, feeling helpless against all this violence and death.
They rode out to the woods, finding fellow tribesmen in danger, blue coats fire at them, knocking Conner, Julie and Kaniehti:io off their horses and they stood up and fought against the blue coats and manages to kill off all of them. "Mad King George is on a war path and intents to destroy our village. We need every able body to protect it, come with us." she tells the two. "We know. Oia:ner sent us to collect the boughs of the great willow.
She means for us to defend our people." one of the natives tells her. Kaniehti:io face fell, "To make the tea? Has she lost her senses?! The tea's pitfalls overshadows its power. You must not do it." she advises them. "You have seen what it can do? Is it dangerous?" he asks of her. "I have seen it. It is worse than dangerous, it is a promise of madness, even death for those lacking the constitution." she tells them, "We cannot disobey the clan mother." the younger one states.
"Believe me. The tea of the great willow is folly. Come back with us." she asks of them, "We will fulfill our clan mother's request. We will collect the boughs. Speak to Oia:ner and if you can convince her, we will burn them." he informs her. "I intend to." she states and went to walk away when Julie fell to her knees and began to cough, Conner was by her side and stroking her back. Kaniehti:io looks over at them. "What's happening to me?" Julie asks her.
"Do you not know?" Kaniehti:io asks her as Conner help Julie stand. "No I don't know." Julie states, Kaniehti:io sighs and looks her straight in the eye. "Kuckunn:iwi, you are with child." she tells her, Julie went pale and staggers a bit, but Conner held her in place. Her hand went to her belly and tries to form words to speak, "Now is not the time for light banter, we must hurry." she tells them and ran to her horse.
Conner help Julie to the their horse mount up and rode to the village, discussing the Great Willow. "You are the son of a violent man, so it would effect you more. I will not allow you to drink it, or the woman who bears my grandchild." she tells them.
