Day: 4 Glow
Dust looked over me and smiled. I saw the glance and grinned back. She stepped over to the leader of the tribe Quake. Quake was old of age but still leading strong. I had to wait until she retired or died before I become the next leader. Our tribe was the best with the daughter of spice as its leader. We are looked up on from the other tribes. I was so happy that dust was becoming an trainee. Especially because she failed the medic test so she was a normal trainee and hopefully one day she would be my mate.
She stepped up towards the leader and bowed her head, as every trainee has done. "I Quake leader of the tribe of thunder look down on this Meinfoo and name her a trainee," my leader announced.
"Wait one moment," called Leach, Dust's mother.
"What would you like Leach," Quake asked nicely but clearly annoyed that she was interrupted.
"This Meinfoo you know as Dust," she hissed the name as she spoke, " is not my daughter."
My eyes widened in shock. How could she not be Leach's kit? I shook my head this is stupid that's insane. I looked around at everyone else in my tribe they all had the same expression I had only a few moments ago.
"That can't be true," I said not realizing that I said it out loud. Dust stood up and turned to face the group.
She gulped then said, "Yes it is true." Gasps of shock rose. My jaw dropped. How could It be all a lie? She could be from a different tribe, a outsider, a cross breed, or even a defect. I shook my head. No she can't be a defect she's too perfect.
"Quiet!," Quake shouted. Her intense glare showed unreadable anger. It was like everyone died as the clearing was scary quiet not even the birds where humming. No wonder the other leaders called her the roaring silencing thunder. "Now please tell me what do you mean by that?"
She dropped her head and sighed. She looked up at all of us but stopping on me. Our eyes locked and I could see the mix of feelings in her eyes. Sorrow, hatred, regret, but also she looked relived and happy. Before I could ponder the thought she spoke, "I am not the child of Leach," she paused as gasps arose, and once they where no more she continued. "I and the only child of Star. Star and Jingle." She once again paused but this time no one was making a sound. As I did they all never knew what happened to the great star. Star was one of the children of spice. The three of them know for a different feature. Quake was known the roaring thunder and Wind who was known as the swiftest of speeds, Star was known as the never ending light of kindness. As the Rumors where spread about the third child of Spice but no one knew who she was. "Jingle was a Weavile. Yes I am a mixed breed, and as you know it I am a defect."
The cowed erupted. Hisses and other rude things where said but all was drowned out by the loud hissing of my teacher.
"Dust you are a defect. Not worthy of being part of a tribe none the less the great tribe of thunder." Quake hissed lashing an slash attach leaving a forever scar in her ear. She just smiled happily, turned and then looked around the tribe.
"Before I go," dust started, "I hope that you know that one day I will be greater then you all." She leaped. She unsheathed her claws and launched a feint attack. I stood in disbelief. She used an egg move. No Meinfoo has know a egg move at all in generations as cross breading is illegal. Her landing was graceful. I stood frozen as I looked at her and she turned to look at me. A smiled shown on her face. "I will be greater than all of you filthy leaders. I am Dust, who like Star, out shines the strike of lighting and is faster than the swiftest of Winds." She shook her head, "No I am glow, who shines without light, who louder then when the lightning strikes, who moves fast without speed, who is the greatest o the great, and who is always forever kind."
So proud of this chapter. I loves it so much, and how it formed to be as good as it is while i was writing is awesome. PS i will be posting a story about Glow and her life that intertwines with this story.
