Cole stared straight ahead asd the people led him through the woods, to a small make-shaft village. The gingerbread-haired girl followed behind him, stealing glances toward the master of earth. He didn't know what was going on. They lead him into a hut, where there was a tall woman, sitting on a throne made from stone.
"Val wi au?" The woman asked after regarding him for a moment. He felt the redhead kick the back of his knees and he collapsed onto the ground. She pushed his head down so he was bowing submissively to her.
THis woman is their leader! He thought.
"I don't speak that language!" HE snapped.
"M rjulemiiuj." the redhead replied, finally moving her hand from the back of cole's neck, he looked up and the leader.
"Seriously, what did she say? I Don't speak that!" He shouted, fighting desperately to keep the distress out of his voice.
"Vamr klui au yump?" The leader Asked, strutting over to Cole.
"Vu zmyplr hpkujirmpk aiy uwrauj," the redhead Answered, Cole shuddered as the leader hooked her hand underneath his chin, making him look into her piercing blue eyes.
"Please, let me leave." He Whispered.
"Au vwgg irmt auju mi m ejwilpuj, rwe awy he," the leader Said, dropping his chin, the redhead lead him away, before tying him up to a tree. His hands were bound together, with a rope leashing him to the tree, the stones around this area had traces of vengestone, destroying his ability to use his powers. He sat silently, watching as people from the tribe walked by, sometimes trying to untie the ropes. It was useless, he decided and resorted to counting sheep and trying to get some rest.
"Aw!" Said the gingerbread-haired girl's voice, and he opened his eyes to see her tentatively reaching out a hand toward him. She seemed friendly enough… he decided.
"Um, hi." He Said, And she looked at him skeptically. He paused for a moment, before looking around, and picking up a hunk of Coal off of a rock formation.
"Vat kl tlh puuk ramr?" The girl asked. He pointed to the rock, then himself.
"Cole." He Said, And the girl looked at him.
"Jlzs?" She Said, And he realized it must be his name in her native language.
"Cole." He Said, again, and she repeated, he pointed to himself.
"Tlh'ju zmgguk Cole?" She Asked.
"My name is Cole." He Said.
"Cole?" She repeated, nodding as if she understood.
"Iwgxuj! Our lxuj auju!" Yelled the redhead, as she pulled the girl away from Cole throwing her aside as if she was nothing more then garbage.
"Leave her alone!" Cole Yelled. The woman handed him some kind of fruit, witch he bit into quickly, his hunger overwhelming his brain. The juice inside exploded in his mouth, it tasted like sugar.
The woman walked away, glaring at the gingerbread-haired girl. She glared back, before turning to Cole and rushing over, grabbing his hands in hers, he didn't understand the gesture at first, until she pressed a small stone into his hand. He looked at it, it was a small piece of silver.
"Iwgxuj," She Said, pointing to herself, then the rock.
"Silver?" He Asked tentatively, "is your name silver?"
"Iwgxuj," she repeated, motioning to herself again.
It suddenly snapped in his head. 'Iwgxuj' meant silver in their language, and it was also the gingerbread-haired girl's name.
"Iwgxuj, silver." He Said smiling, motion to the metal, she seemed to understand.
"Silver?" She repeated, touching the metal, then herself.
"Silver, it means Iwgxuj," he smiled as he said this. She grabbed the piece of Coal he had used.
"Zlgu." Silver Said, touching the rock, "wr yumpi cole."
"Zlgu, Cole." He Said. She nodded. He smiled at her, and she grabbed his hands again, this time turning them over so that the knots in the vines were exposed. She untied them in seconds. He stood up, and looked at Silver.
"Iwgxuj," he started, grabbing her hand, and pointing into the woods, "will you come with me?"
She looked at him, and realization crossed her face. She nodded, and they walked off, toward the bounty, Cole was relieved when it came into sight.
"Cole!" Jay Shouted running out onto deck, "where the heck were you? And why do you have a girl with you?"
"Jay, you won't believe this, but I found a weird tribe in the woods, they spoke a different language, and one of the came back here with me. Her name is Iwgxuj, it translates to silver!" He blurted, all at once.
"What?" Jay muttered.
"Iwgxuj, this is Jay," Cole Said, pointing to the master of lightning.
"Jay?" The girl asked, hiding behind Cole, who was about a foot taller than her.
"Jay, what's going on?" Zane asked, walking out onto the deck.
"Cole says he found a tribe of natives in the woods who don't speak English, and he brought one back." Jay said, motioning to Silver.
"Really, that's fascinating!" Zane said, looking at silver.
"Zlgu? Val wi au?" Silver Asked when Zane extended a hand toward her.
"It's ok, Iwgxuj, he's my friend," Cole replies, but Silver didn't budge.
"What's up co… oh my gosh, you brought a girl with you!" Nya Said, walking out on deck and pulling silver out in front of the other ninja.
"Nya, be careful, Cole says she's a savage from the woods!" Jay said.
"Come, on she's a lamb!" Nya Said is reply.
"She is from the woods though, and she doesn't speak or understand English!" Cole Snapped, "be careful!"
"Really?" Nya Asked, "I'll try to work on a translater!"
"Oh cod." Murmured Zane.
"W'y ahpojt," Silver Said, shyly.
"What does that mean?" Zane asked.
"I only know to words in her language, my name and hers, Zlgu and Iwgxuj," Cole Snapped.
"So you're name is her language is Zlgu?" Laughed Nya.
"So what?" Cole Yelled.
This was fun to write, and for the record Cole is going to see the gingerbread-haired girl as a younger sister
