History of the Viera
Welcome back to the tale of rabbits and huskies. I know it's been a while, but I haven't forgotten this! This time, the Viera start to fight back, and Humes begin the destruction of the forests. And only one young Viera can save the Wood and her name is Myko (not the Myko of Viera Actress).
Chapter 5: Making a Difference.
The Viera were not fighters by nature, but by necessity. They had begun to fight the Reena, but they were losing. There weren't enough of them to really fight the Reena effectively. And many Viera women were running off with Humes and starting families. Reena liked half-Humes, for some reason, even though most of these creatures looked more like Viera.
The pure Viera mostly stayed off in their villages, and they didn't want to leave. They wanted to multiply. Since the Reena had the advantage of strength, then maybe the Vieran edge would be sheer numbers. It took Viera a long time to reproduce, but nearly every female who was old enough was pretty much forced to become pregnant.
A young Viera named Myko was depressed when she failed to have children. She was very worried that the Viera would kick her out because of this. She'd go and watch Humes, and she knew they were up to something, but she didn't know what. The Humes kept the Reena-Kaana away.
Myko didn't like how Humes were marking the trees with paint. It bothered her. The Wood was colourful enough! The other Viera didn't think too much of it. It wasn't desirable, but it wasn't a worry.
Myko knew it meant something. And she knew it meant something bad. Very bad. The Humes stopped looking at her, and she had to stay in her village because of the Reena.
Some of the Viera in Myko's village believed her that the marks weren't good. She took them from the village and tried to alert the other villages. Even the Reena were nervous. They put Viera-killing on hold until they found out what the Humes were up to for their own sake, and what they found out wasn't good in the least.
The Humes were planning to cut down major parts of the Wood and use it for their land! And the Viera were not ready to do what they were created for yet: Protect the Wood!
I know this is a short chapter. I promise the next one will be longer, and it will get into the mass destruction of the Wood and how Myko saves her race.
