Lost at Sea- My version

Ch.7: I Will

That night, the Chief gathered everyone in the Ceremony Hut. The Shaman was predicting the village's future.

"I see many Shuwai coming our way in the next week," the Shaman said. "Having more strength than we do"

Everyone gasped.

"We must do something" The Chief said.

"Only one can stop this from happening" the Shaman said. "A great kid with great strength and a great heart."

"Who?" The Chief said.

"The White Girl" the Shaman announced. Everyone gasped and looked at Maddy. Maddy lifted her head.

"What?" Maddy asked.

"The White Girl must reunite with the rest of our people and lead them into an attack so bold that the Shuwai will end our suffering" the Shaman spoke.

"You need to go Maddy" the Chief said. "You are the only one who can save us"

"What about Chen?" Maddy asked. "He's next in line of being Chief, why me?"

"Because you have more wisdom and strength than me" Chen said.

"What if I don't succeed?" Maddy asked.

"You will" Chen supported. Maddy looked at him than at the Chief.

"Will you help us?" the Chief asked. Everyone looked at her. Maddy stood up.

"I will" Maddy said bravely. The Chief smiled, nodding his head.

"You can choose two people to accompany you" the Chief said. Maddy turned to Chen and Kala.

"Can you two accompany me?" Maddy asked. They nodded.

"You will leave tomorrow morning" the Chief said. Maddy nodded.
