As we were walking to the mammoth tamer's hut, I had realized that I hadn't asked for his name.
"It's Edward Jabob's. That's my name," he said as if he read my mind.

"Are you alone? Do you have friends back at your hut?" I asked.

"Nah, I've been kicked out of my tribe, "Red Waters" for a stupid reason I'd rather not talk about. I did have friends when I was in that tribe but they stopped talking to me once I got kicked out." We walked the rest of the way in silence.

Edward's hut was bigger than I thought. It had a fence around it with a gate opening up to the doorway of the hut. When we got in we were instantly greeted by a, "Jerboa Level 8".

"Say hi to Tommy for me Charlie." said Edward. The little Jerboa squeaked at me and started rubbing it's head against my calf. I started to pet him and he purred a little more.

"Hey, Tom let's have some coffee here."

We sat down on one of his tables as he handed me a cup of hot coffee. I sipped at it and it burned my lips a little but I held in the pain.

"So I have to break this down to you Tom. You can only stay here tonight and by tomorrow morning if I see you still in my house, I will throw you into the ocean." This took me by surprise making me spill a little of the hot coffee on my lap. I winced a little.

"Why? Why can't I stay here with you? I can help you with a lot of things!" I exclaim.

"No, you can't. There are a group of people here on this Island that do not like newcomers. They have killed the past 75 people that have washed ashore here. They're known as the "Selectors." Nobody on the Island likes them but will do anything for them because they are the biggest tribe by far and will destroy anyone that opposes them." I was speechless. Who would do that such of a thing?

"I think I'm gonna go rest for the night now." I say wearily.
