Solaca: Selky-wolfie-13 years old
Mattias: Clavat-natural-13 years old
Genèse: Clavat-long hair-10 years old
In a village somewhere in the forest, a family of selkies was saying goodbye to their last daugther, Solaca.
-Solaca, now that you're thirteen, you must take the caravan and shearch mhyrr just like your mother, your grandmother and I did at your age. Do you understand?
-Yes father. I will make you proud of me!
-We're already proud of you. said her mother
-So this is it! If you need anything, come back and we'll help you. declared her father
-I promise. I'll write you...
-Take care of yourself and watch out for clavats, honey.
-Bye, mother! Bye, father!
The couple watched Solaca until the threes made her disappeared. Solaca's family was living in the village of Miaka, her parents, both alchemists, had many kids before her and she was their last one.
In the same time at the complete opposite near the river, a young boy named Mattias was preparing himself for the trip of his life.
-Are you ready, Mattias? Mom and Dad settled the caravan. asked his little sister
-Almost. How stupid am I!? I was forgetting my sword!
When he went outside, his parents hugged and warned him against the selkies.
He traveled to the Belle's river where was a sprit of mhyrr. Mattias beated many monsters, mostly goblins though. He reached a waterfall, the place was beautiful, like nothing bad could happen. Or so he thought, at the second he touched the water, a giant crab jump out of the waterfall. Mattias started to fight but the carapace of the monster was so hard that his sword broke when it hit it. The boy was getting crushed by the thing. When he thought it was over, Mattias felt someone pushing against a rock. He lose conscience right after.
On the other side, a teenage girl was beating the crab with no problem. She returned near the boy and sent him water in the face.
-Hey...Are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for saving me.
-Your welcome. Why are you here, anyway? It's not a place for kids.
-I AM NOT A KID! I'm Mattias, son of David the merchant and I'm here to recolt myrrh to purified the crystal of my village.
-What a coincidence! I'm here for that too!
-Great! What's your name?
-My name is Solaca, daughter of Laï ko the alchimist and...
-What? What is it?
-You're a what? A Selky or a Calvan?
-I'm a Calvan.
Solaca walked back of five steps.
-And a selky from Miaka's village.
-You don't look really bad to my eyes. Maybe my family was wrong about your kind or maybe you're special.
-You won't run away or attack me?
-Why should I do something like that? You saved me, not hurt me, remember!
-That's meaning were friends?! Awsome! Why not travel together?
-It's a deal!
They separated the sprit of mhyrr in two equal part and went back to Solaca's caravan. They walked on the road until a high voice interrupted them.
-MATTIAS! MATTIAS! THIS IS SO AWSOME! DAD ACCEPTED I COME WITH YOU! sqeaded a small girl
She jumped on him before noticing Solaca. The girl screamed and hided behind his brother.
-Quick Mattias! Kill that selky before she attacks us.
-She won't, she's my friend, Genèse.
-B-but she's a selky!
-So what? She isn't nececearly bad. Forgive my sister, she listen too much to my parents.
-No problem. Don't be affraid, little one, I won't hurt you.
-You...You can talk our language?
-Why, of course I can! Where did you get so fasle informations?
-My dad told me that selkies are savages who don't speak english and kill clavans.
-If that so. I'm leaving...
Solaca climbed in the caravan and started it. Genèse was dancing of joy.
-That's good for her! C'mon Mattias! We have to get our caravan!
-Go get it and return with Mom and Dad. I'm leaving with her.
-But...
-Don't return before your learn good maners! Solaca! Wait for me!
The little girl started crying in the middle of the road, attracting Solaca's attention. Mattias sat beside her and crossed his arms.
-You shouldn't let her alone, the night will soon come.
-I don't care! She just had to be polite with you.
-It's not grave, I'm use to it... and you don't wanna hear what my family says about clavans!
-It's so bad?
-Go shearch your sister and I'll tell you.
-Grrr...okay
Mattias ran near his little sister who was still crying and carried her near of the caravan. She hugged his arm as Solaca started the clavan's reputation.
-My family says that clavans are monsters who kill for nothing. They get rid of what they don't know. If you have to face one of them, run as fast as you can because they're baton of fire will have reason of you.
-We're not like this! screamed Genèse
-Chut!
-What is it, Solaca?
-I heard something.
She get up and went on the hill.
-How I couldn't saw she's a selky? It's obvious! The wolf-looking, the clothes, the yellow eyes, the long canines, the sharp earing, the agressivity...
-Run away, Mattias. Ocrs are coming.
-No way! I want to stay with you.
-If something happens to me, promise you'll deliver myrrh to my village.
-But...
-Promise!
-I swear I'll do it. Be careful!
Mattais took Genèse under his arm and started to run. He put 10 meters between them and Solaca before he freed Genèse and gave her the chalice.
-All right. Go join Mom and Dad at the village with the chalice. There, say I'm going to come back to take it and not to worry. Genèse, if I'm not back in two days, take our caravan and go fill the chalice. Bye, sis!
-WHY ARE YOU RETURNING THERE?
-Hear the swords'sounds? If Solaca get hurt or worse I would never forgive myself.
Mattias ran the distance he had made where Solaca was getting tired. They were five Orcs and three big goblins. One of the orcs attacked the selky in her back but Mattias stopped it. At two, the battle was more easier but it been long before they vainquished the monsters. Solaca's and Mattias' clothes were cut in pieces but they weren't injuried.
-I was about to get rip apart by those monsters. Thanks for saving my life.
-Oh, it was nothing! Beside, we're at equality now.
Solaca laughed and sat on the grass, soon imitated by Mattias.
-Where is Genèse?
-I sent her to my village. Our clothes are in such state! When we'll go regain our chalice, we could repair them. I'm sure my parents won't bother...
-You're sure? I'm a Selky, remember.
-Yeah, but when they'll see how kind you are, they will forget anything about those stories.
Solaca blushed as the sunset made her eyes glow. They both fell asleep on the grass, exhausted by the day.
In Kikio's village, a small girl ran with a chalice in her hands to her parents'house. They were suprised to see their daugther with it.
-Genèse! What are you doing there? Where's your brother?
-He told me to come here and wait for him and to tell you not worry!
But the parents didn't look really convinced.
-Is it something happened, sweety? asked her mother
-No. Nothing went wrong.
-You know you can tell us anything and you won't be punish. continued Marianne
-I am truly sorry, Mattias... Mattias met a Selky and when we were eating, orcs came to attack us. Solaca stayed and made Mattias promise he'd deliver myrrh to her village if something happen to her. And after, Mattias let me on the road, told me to return here with the chalice, they'll come to take it back and if he's not back in two days, I would go myself fill the chalice. she said between her cries
-A selky! How many times we warned him against this kind?!
-B-but Dad, she's really kind.
-That's only a mask, my girl. At the second they gain your confidence, they attack you. Look what is happening to your brother! raged Belgano
-Oh my gosh! My poor little son!
-He'll be fine, I'm sure of it! Just give him a chance!
She tried to calm down her father before he alerts the whole village. Even if a part of her wanted to let them look for Mattias.
The sun waked Mattias, still lying on the grass, he entempted to get up but he felt a weight on him. He borrowed his eyes and deeply blushed when they stopped on Solaca asleep, her head on his chest. He softly stroked her silver hair to wake her. She growled something but then she started to purr. Mattias laughed as Solaca open her eyes.
-Is the wolf turned into a kitty?
-No! I was...dreaming. Yeah, I was dreaming I was a cat.
-Whatever...
-But I tell you I was dreaming!
-I believe you. Anyway, we better get going before my sister cracks.
The climbed in the caravan and went to Kikio. Solaca seemed to be stressed when they entered in the village. Everybody was staring at them with big eyes.
-Those people make me nervous with their arms in their hands.
-Calm down, Solaca. They won't hurt you as long as you're with me. Wait for me, all right.
Mattias jumped off the caravan and entered in a house, letting Solaca alone. One man approached the Selky, she could read hate in his eyes. He grabbed her by the colar and pushed her on the ground. Another one pointed her hearth with a sword.
-Where did you meet Mattias? asked the first man
-We met on the road. Her voice was cold and serious, letting no sing of fear.
-And what are you doing with him?
-We came to shearch the chalice. Is this showdown over? I'm tired to be on the ground.
-No yet. Why, you pityful Selky, you didn't kill Mattias and stole his myrrh?
-Why should I do something like that? And my kind isn't pityful.
Solaca wished to attack, she hardly ketp her cool but she wanted to change the Selky's reputation.
-Get your dirty hands off her! Mattias was standing at the door, staring furiously at the men, No wonder why Solaca thinks we're animals, look at you.
-She is the animal here.
-THAT'S ENOUGH!
Solaca get on her feet and punched the man in the face. All the villagers stunned at her. Mattias took her hand and leaded her inside the house.
-I am so sorry, Solaca. The people here are beasts.
-I'm used to it...
-My parents aren't here for the moment, you could wear my clothes until yours are being repaired.
Mattias trew a long shirt and pants at the girl before walking away to let her change. Solaca looked at her in the miror, she loved wearing pants. Knocks broke the silence. Mattias was standing in front of the door, his head slighty shifted, smiling. The last part made Solaca blushed even if she didn't know why.
-You look pretty in that.
-Thanks! Hey, is that mean I'm not with my travelling ones.
-No, no! Forget what I said.
-E mi cala compe
-Huh? In what are you speaking? What it means?
-It's in Selkian, it means: I never forget a complement.
-Oh! E me cala compe?
-Pretty good for a fisrt time. Repeat after me: E MI cala compe.
-E mi...
-THANKS GOODNESS! MATTIAS, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT!
-Mom! Stop it! It's embarassing!
-Mattias, thanks God, you're safe.
His parents surrounded Mattias, totaly ignoring Solaca but Genèse jumped on her.
-That's so cool! You're back! Both of you!
-Both? made the parents as they turned to their daugther
Mattias went near to Solaca and warped his arm around her shoulders and looked strike in his father's eyes despite a slight blush.
-Mom, Dad, I wish you meet Solaca. Solaca, they are my parents, Marianne and Belgano.
-Pleasure to meet you. enthousasmly said Solaca rising her hand
-Your friend had been nicely rised. noticed Marianne
-What kind are you? asked Belgano suspiciously eyeing the girl
-Dad, she's really really kind, she wouldn't hurt anything. She saved me. quickly said Mattias, knowing his farther's temper
-I'm a selky.
Marianne didn't really change her expression but Belgano seemed to turn into rock.
-Do you know what we should do to her? he asked, his eyes burning of crazyness
-Dad, without her I was dead. Being a selky doesn't mean you're automaticly bad.
-There is no exception! They are all hypocrites! he replied dangerously approching Solaca
-I promised she won't be hurt and if you want to make her suffer, you'll have to make me too.
-Mattias, get away from that sub-human.
-Sub-human yourself! I didn't say a word and I'm already a killer! My parents were so right about Clavats.
-Why you little! yelled the adult as he charged on her
-DAD! STOP IT!
This time, it was Genèse who yelled. She standed between Solaca and Mattias, who's other arm was around her waist now, and her father. Belgano stopped in his tracks, staring at his daugther then at his wife; they both had the same face.
-Belgano, do you have any idea how stupid it is? shouted Marianne
-You don't even know her and you treat her like a sickness!
-Exactly, it's better preventing than curing.
-Go outside and cut woods! ordered his wife
Belgano quitted without a word, Marianne and Genèse smiled at the teens. Solaca eye's were glitering, when Mattias let her go, she whispered something in selkian wich seemed to be insults.
-Excuse my husband, he's sturborn. Mattias, why Solaca is wearing your clothes?
-Oh yeah! Our clothes had been rip in pieces. Could you repair them?
Marianne went to her son's bedroom and stunned at the bunch of ripped clothes. She sighed and took them.
-I'm able to repair them but I don't know how long ot would be. You can stay with us in time. You too, Solaca. she said before the teens asked
So that's for chapter 1! I'll continue if you review. Bye!
