Chapter 2: Sandworm Raid
Sky's 13 year old
First Person
In a certain desert, in a certain village, in a certain tent, lies a boy no older than 15 with dark hair very contradicting to the surrounding colors on a reddish bed...
"This… is no heaven is this?" I woke up completely tired with barely plausible voice in a tent. As if hearing my voice, a girl around the age of 12 came in with a fruit basket. "Hey, you are awake!""Uhmm, where is this?" That was all I wanted to know at the moment. "Oh, this is the sand tribe of the Lagaard desert; I'm Alice, nice to meet you." "Oh, thank you, uhmm, (it's that awkward silence again) uhmm, yeah, uhmm, my name is Sky, I think I'm the same age as you, by the way are you 13?" "Pfffff, (Alice starts laughing with her hands covering her mouth) I've never heard of anyone introducing like that, haha!" (Well excuse me, it's not my fault, how would you like to end up in a completely strange place with no clothes except pants on facing a girl with weird clothes and introducing oneself)"Well, sorry, I'm a stranger here in a strange tent, here with a strange girl and with a strange laugh," I said with a bit of anger. The girl kinda didn't take it all in at once but when she did, she started crying. "You… are a (tears and sobs) Horrible (more tears and sobs) PERSON!" Unfortunately the main character right now doesn't know that it was her who found Sky lying almost dead in the desert. The girl started to turn around to run, but a man walked in.
"Alice, what happened," the man seems to be in his 30's asked. "This is (continues with the sobbing) a BAD PERSON!" Alice says with anger and regret. "HOW COULD YOU MAKE HER CRY, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING, A** HOLE!1!" The man seems t be very angry at me. "DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS HER WHO BROUGHT YOU IN, OR ELSE WE WOULD HAVE LEFT YOUR ROTTEN BODY TO BE EATEN BY THE GAIA SAND WORMS!" I instantly caught on to what the man said. I genuinely feel really sorry for Alice, so I started to apologize, "I'm very sorry, Alice, I didn't know it was you that saved me, I'm very sorry, I take it back you are not a strange girl, and you are actually really pretty and with that fashionable dress…" (Yes I'm apologizing like crazy now, cramming any kind of praises I can use on a girl) Alice's mood seems to have lightened up a bit but the man obviously knew I was trying to get Alice to be on her good mood so he still didn't wipe his anger off his face, right now he is probably thinking (finally, you good for nothing brat, be grateful to her, and you better not come over and flirt with my daughter, you Outsider!11)
"Really?" Alice asked me with those eyes (you know what I mean)"Yes, I'm sorry for yelling at you, sorry," I really can't believe this is taking forever to apologize. "Well then welcome to The Lagaard Sand Tribe!" Alice said with enthusiasms. I started to walk out of the tent after the man reminding me to put on some clothes before I do that. Of course that was embarrassing especially in front of a girl.
The Tribe is actually quite big, after Alice tells Sky of the population here living in the Lagaard Sand Tribe, Sky literally flipped over. "It's true, we have 20,000 people living here, we help each other get through famine and trouble like one big family," Alice says it proudly. Deep within my heart I would have loved to have lived out here probably with my parents, a poor, yet normal life is way better than a rich but miserable life without family. But….. Right now my goal is to get stronger, and avenge my clan. " It really is nice here, this is truly the most peaceful place to live….. no fights, no mass murders…." I murmured to myself. "Huh? Did you say something, Sky?" "No, I just said this is a really nice place to live in," I quickly made up a statement. "Thank You! I'm very proud of this tribe too!"
Time goes on and now it has been 2 year, the sand tribes people have gotten used to Sky, many kids were first told not to get close to Sky at first but as time went on they started to get along, especially after the Gaia Sandworm raid incident. (Sometimes, Sky would tease Alice like a brother and would always tell her it was a joke to use as an excuse to pat on her head)(XD).It was a weird event that happened that year, exactly a year after Sky's arrival at the sand tribe, for a few days the sound of the ground rumbling have disturbed the live stocks and made them extremely hyper. Then a mob of Gaia sandworms started to appear into sight and plunged the tribe into danger. This was when Sky first used his Aurorus magic and the power of Bladefield Bloodline against the mob of sandworms. "Damn, if I had a weapon it would be a lot easier!" I thought in my mind. I released simple fire arrows at the sandworms using my imagination but all it did was make the sandworms flinch a bit, I had to get close was what I had in mind when the fire arrows didn't work. "Well, looks like this will be my first battle to go all out on!"
