Day 14: All those past days were so busy, finishing up the cottage, having more fish and pig in the smoker, and finding the perfect location for the hut we planned to have in the mini plains meadow.
We searched for names that fit our lake cottage, and Sunrise gave us one, 'Firehouse 1'. We shrugged, commented, "Why not?". Soon, we moved into Firehouse 1 for the weeks, since it seemed to be soon the summer season, and we needed to proceed into building the hut. We also gave the lake a name, it bared the namesake of Lake George.
We often went to the Banyan Forest to find a safe and perfect tree for the Swiss Family, for we remembered Elizabeth's incident in the book. We couldn't decide between a rather huge almost dead tree or a sparsely covered large tree with even branches.
Then we received a message from Sunrise, replying that someone we had met some time ago had arrived a few days ago, and she is now old enough to be a warrior, and Sunrise wanted us to be her mentors until she is able to receive her warrior name. Basil had officially knew her. The portal had appeared, revealing a 15-year old Tara Silver, transformed into a human, her black hair now reaching by mid-back, her amber gold eyes warm and shining of excitement, wearing a dusty brown shirt and dark blue jeans, with low-heel black boots. She had gotten her totem necklace, a mini copy of the treasure map that her Uncle Jim had, and a fallen baby Night Fury tooth that Clawheart gave her when she visited Montressor often, and the final object hanging by, is a a vial of pure ocean water.
Tara was a blessing, she's a prodigy on Earth, for Sunrise gave all the possible books to her to have. So, she found more discoveries we can use. We now use the fig leaves from the Banyan forest for flavor toward the pig and crab meat, occasionally tapir meat. And we also found crayfish from Lake George. Around greenery, Tara found wild parsnips. We are able to gather dew from the grass and put them into containers when the rare rains happen.
Today was rather good, we had showed Tara how to dodge and use the surroundings to our advantages. She is certainly quick, probably due to her panther genes, and clever and stubborn thanks to being raised by her family. She had taken some skills from her grandmother in healing, and remarkably 'flies' well, thanks to Clawheart.
We had the hut partly built so far, and the meals were good. Tara was glad for us, and she hoped to find love like us. I told her that she will, and I, Basil know it so. Soon, we were working on stamina, and at sunset, we got done. We headed back to Firehouse 1, Tara going to grab some leftover soup for herself while we got some tapir meat for ourselves.
Like usually, after we digested for a hour, we headed off to Turtle Island on our beloved star-watching/conversation boulder. Before we left, Tara told us to be safe, and that she will patrol the island before it gets too dark. Basil and I had agreed that Tara is taking on responsibility quite well, and not complaining at all. She will be a warrior sooner or later, depends on the progress of the training. We got back home, heading to bed, with Tara having her hammock borrowed from her home. Training Tara will be interesting. Good night.- Jade.
