Okay, this is a short chapter because I'm having a hard time writing this (and it's bothering me like crazy), so sorry. But hey, a short chapter is better than no chapter at all. And I will try to make the next one longer, since, ya know, after you read this you're going to start wondering.

Aranck could feel Hania's glare, but chose to ignore it. He was too annoyed already with his little brother, which didn't help with his bad mood that was already there due to some tribes fighting against each other. He was trying to talk with one of his chiefs but Hania kept distracting him, so he had to scold the boy. Now said child was giving him the stink eye. On another day Aranck would have thought it funny, but this idiot of a chief kept trying to insist an ambush was a good idea. He really didn't have any patience for Hania right now, and that already made him feel bad.

Hania's feeling were hurt. He just wanted to play with his big brother, and he was bored. The other children were mean and wouldn't let him play with them because he was younger and they were older. And to be rejected by Aranck made it, to him, worse. The little blonde was glaring at Aranck while trying to think of ways to make Aranck say sorry and play with him. Finally after a while, Hania gave up and chose to explore. Since it was his land, he wouldn't get lost and could come back here anytime he wants. Just not now while his big brother was being "mean" to him.

Hania walked away slowly and ran straight towards the woods, Nanuq following suite. "I'm hungry," the little polar bear said.

Hania smiled and remembered when the bear first talked. Aranck was convinced that it was some sorta ghost bear...what was up with him and ghost? Anyways, Hania was really happy that his bear can talk.

"We'll find some berries, okay Nanuq?" The child only got the same response and sighed. As he wondered deeper into the forest, Hania's legs started to tingle really badly. He was told that when his body was feeling weird, like his arms were tingling or he couldn't move his legs that means that something was happening in his land somewhere. And whatever that was, it was near him. In fact, there was a vast land of water near them, and the event was happening there.

Hania didn't like the feeling in his leg. It felt weird and foreign like it was new there and it didn't belong. It scared him. His curiosity, however, got the best of him and he walked awkwardly to whatever was causing the new feeling in his legs. Whenever the sensation got stronger that meant that he was close. By now, he could smell the saltwater ocean and fish. Hania picked up Nanuq when he heard voices.

The northern nation ducked behind a bush, trying to ignore the really uncomfortable feeling his legs had, and was spying on whoever that was. If it were his people, he wouldn't feel as if there were something new on his land. Hania ducked up and was shocked to see the people on his land.

They looked just like him! Most of them were blond, they didn't have dark skin and he could see that a lot of them had different colored eyes! One of them had green eyes! They were also talking in a really weird tongue, he couldn't understand them. They would say something to each other while trying to life up these wooden things down from a really big...thing and would laugh.

Hania was starting to get scared. Who were these strange men and why were they here? And what were those big pointy things they had in their hands? They looked like spears, but he didn't see the rest of the wood. And the flint looked bigger. He felt someone tapping his shoulder and spun around to be faced with a boy. He looked strange. The boy had white hair and purple eyes like him.

"Hæ, þú ert glataður?" The boy asked in a different language then the men who were currently lifting things up. When Hania didn't answer, the boy waved his hand in Hania's face, which made Hania run away while clutching Nanuq. "Nei, bíddu! Fyrirgefðu ef ég hræddi þig! Vinsamlegast koma aftur!" The boy yelled back, but Hania didn't hear him. He didn't even notice that the feeling in his legs were gone. He just wanted to tell his big brother about the strange men and make them go away.

Translations and Information

Translations:

Hæ, þú ert glataður?- Hi, are you lost? (Icelandic)

Information:

Tribes fighting- These things happened constantly. Before Columbus "discovered" North America, there were many other tribes around. But due to warfare against each other, lots of them went extinct. Basically as cultures of nomadic hunter gatherers they were in constant competition over hunting grounds, with the stronger tribes exercising their control over the more fertile areas. Not only did these tribes compete for food but also it became common practice to raid one another for women and slaves. Inbreeding in many tribes was a severe problem and child mortality rates were extremely high.

Location- If any of you know where I'm going with this, then you would have some idea on the location. For those of you that don't, I would say that they're somewhere in Newfoundland or Nova Scotia. I don't know, I ain't Canadian. I don't know Canadian geography.
