a/n: Hey guys, I was thinking of doing portraits of different characters and all will be done at some point, but which do you want to see first? Let me know in the reviews or message me.

Scene 1:

[The sun is rising. Forta is awake and inside Steve and her's house. She is looking out the window as Odayaka is oinking at her heels.]

Oda: "Oink! Oink!"

Forta: "Sssshh, Oda. Steve is sleeping."

Oda: "...oink."

[Forta giggles and looks out the window some more. She looks at Kreten's house, then Aina's across the structure in the center and then finally laying her eyes on the exit.]

Oda: "OINK OINK!"

Forta: "Alright, alright! I'll let you out."

[Forta opens the door and lets Oda out. Forta follows Oda and sits out on the porch. The sun is coming up and no one else is up yet. Forta picks up a yellow flower and twirls it around.]

Nevin: "Forta!"

[Nevin is suddenly standing in front of Forta.]

Forta: "Oh, Nevin. I didn't see you there."

Nevin: "Do you think you could teach me to use a bow?"

[Forta scratches her head and looks at the small boy]

Forta: "Why?"

Nevin: "Shiko says I have to learn to fight and you are so cool with your bow."

[Forta smiles and stands up]

Forta: "Well then, today we will go out and practice!"

Nevin: "Yay!"

[Aina's house door opens and Aina comes outside after Nevin]

Aina: "Nevin! You can't leave the house in the morning without telling me!"

Nevin: "I'm sorry.."

[Nevin pouts.]

Forta: "It's ok Aina, he was just coming to ask me to train him to use a bow."

[Aina makes a skeptical face and looks down at Nevin]

Aina: "Don't you think that's a little dangerous?"

Forta: "It'll be fine, I'll be watching him."

Aina: "Nevin, do you promise to be suuuuper careful?"

Nevin: "I promise."

Aina: "Alright, you guys have fun. But you can't leave without having your breakfast."

[Nevin sits down next to Forta as Aina goes to make breakfast.]

Nevin: "I need a bow!"

Forta: "That's right! Aina, can you get Nevin a bow?!"

[Aina's head pops up from behind a stove and gives her the thumbs up. Forta smiles at Nevin.]

Nevin: "What are we gonna shoot?"

Forta: "Maybe some pigs! We can go hunting. Would you like that?"

Nevin: "Yeah!"

[The door behind them opens up and Steve comes out, blurry eyed and tired looking]

Nevin: "Morning sleep-head!"

Steve: "Morning."

Forta: "I'm going out to teach Nevin to use a bow today."

Steve: "Oh, fun! Shiko and I are going to get chickens and squid sacs."

Forta: [giggles] "Sacs…"

Steve: "Child."

[Aina comes back with eggs and bread for everyone.]

Aina: "Breakfast time!"

[Everyone sits down and takes food and starts to eat]

Forta: "Thank you Aina."

Aina: "No problem, but we are starting to run low on eggs."

[Shiko comes out of his house, looks around and goes over to everyone]

Shiko: "Morning folks. Ready for a day of hunting ferocious chicken and squid?"

Steve: "Ready as ever."

[Aina hand Shiko his breakfast as he sits down and starts to eat.]

Aina: "Forta is going to teach Nevin how to use a bow today."

Shiko: "Cool! Then you can join me in hunting one day buddy."

[Shiko is turned to Nevin who smiles at Shiko really big]

Forta: "He'll be great at it if he keeps up practice."

[Nevin nods his head as he eats more bread]

Steve: "Which way are we heading first? The river for the squid or towards the north for the chicken?"

Shiko: "Probably the squid since they are closer, and easier to see when it's lighter out."

Forta: "You two should head out if you want to be back before dark."

Scene 2:

[Cuts immediately to Forta directing Nevin holding a bow. They are standing on a hill at the top. Nevin is aiming at an unsuspecting pig.]

Forta: "Now, if you pull the bow all the way back, aim very carefully and a little to the left, the pig should go down in one hit."

[Nevin does as she says and hits the pig, it falls to it's death with a squeal. Forta winces and looks down at Nevin, who is smiling and running to pick up the food. Forta sighs, but smiles at Nevin.]

Forta: "Great job!"

Nevin: "I killed it!"

[Forta's smile fades a little]

Forta: "Yeah you did...Nevin, there's a rule about your bow."

Nevin: "What?"

[Forta goes down on her knees so they are eye to eye]

Forta: "Never point it at or shoot a human, Boris or Oda. Unless they are attacking you, got it?"

Nevin: "Yes Forta."

Forta: "It's not a toy. You use it to hunt and protect yourself ok?"

Nevin: "Yeeessss Forrrrttaaaa."

[Forta giggles and stands up. She starts to walk in a random direction]

Forta: "Let's go find something a little more challenging shall we?"

[Nevin follows skipping along]

Scene 3:

[Steve and Shiko are in a meadow, killing chickens and picking up eggs and feathers]

Steve: "Hey Shiko?"

Shiko: "Yeah?"

Steve: "You and Aina… is that a thing or…?"

[Shiko laughs nervously]

Shiko: "Yeah I guess. We never really called it anything."

Steve: "You two like… kissed?"

[Shiko laughs again]

Shiko: "Yeah, you sound like a middle school nerd. Why so nervous about it?"

Steve: "I-uh nothing."

Shiko: "I what? It's not nothing."

Steve: "I'd rather not say."

Shiko: "Doesn't matter, tell me."

Steve: "UUUUUGGGGHHHH, fine but you shut the fuck up about it."

Shiko: "Yes, sir."

Steve: "I kinda, I dunno… I like Forta."

Shiko: "Dude, that's the most obvious thing ever."

Steve: "What?! No it's not! Shut up."

Shiko: "It's also pretty obvious she doesn't see it at all."

Steve: "Oh… good."

Shiko: "It's alright. But why? No offense, but she's got a temper."

Steve: "Yeah, but it doesn't bother me."

Shiko: "She almost killed Kreten."

Steve: "Yeah… she's almost killed me a few times too."

Shiko: "What? Why?"

Steve: "Stupid stuff. I made her name and she doesn't seem to really like it. She's got a temper, you know."

Shiko: "I guess. My advice would be to just kiss her."

Steve: "What if she just kicks me or something?"

Shiko: "Well, then that's a no…"

Steve: "I don't think that's a good idea."

[Shiko picks up an egg and stares at Steve.]

Shiko: "Don't be a little bitch."

Steve: "Shut up."

[Steve rolls his eyes as he kills a chicken and picks up the meat]

Shiko: "You should do it. I'll back you up if she goes crazy on you."

Steve: "What if she doesn't like me?"

Shiko: "I don't know… Aina is the only girl I've ever known before Forta."

Steve: "How did you get her?"

Shiko: "I just kissed her. Grow a pair and do it."

[Steve shakes his head and picks up an egg]

Steve: "It's not that simple."

Shiko: "It seems to be."

Steve: "Girls are delicate, and so are their feelings. Like this egg."

[Steve holds up an egg to Shiko]

Steve: "One wrong move and they are crushed."

Shiko: "You're full of shit."

[Shiko laughs]

Shiko: "C'mon, there's another group of chickens this way."

[Shiko hurries off towards a hill. Steve runs after him.]

Steve: "I'm not full of shit!"

Scene 4:

[Forta and Nevin are heading back to camp. They are walking along the beach where Aina had taken Forta before.]

Nevin: "What's that?"

[Nevin points at the green spec in the distance.]

Forta: "Uh, that? It's a squid."

Nevin: "It must be a big squid."

Forta: "Yeah..."

[Forta stares at it as they continue to walk. She knows it is not a squid, but she is unsure of what it is.]

Nevin: "You think I can shoot it with a bow?"

Forta: "I don't think so, it's too far away."

[Nevin nods and is quiet as they continue to walk. Forta is silent as well, trying to figure out what Aina wanted her to know]

Scene 5:

[Aina has a wooden hoe in her hand and is standing over the farm. Odayaka come towards the farm and sniffs some carrots.]

Aina: "Oda! No."

Oda: "Oink?"

Aina: "No!"

[Oda starts nibbling at the carrots.]

Aina: "Odayaka!"

[Aina picks up Oda and puts her inside her house. She comes back out. Boris is now digging up the farm and eating the food.]

Aina: "BORIS! No!"

[Aina grabs him by the collar and brings him to Shiko's house and puts him in there. Aina comes back out and realizes she has to replant everything.]

Aina: "Aw...fiddlesticks…"

[Suddenly Kreten is behind her and taps her shoulder. Aina freaks out and turns around]

Aina: "Ah! Kreten! Oh I uhm… I was just farming."

Kreten: "I can see that. When did we get a baby pig?"

Aina: "Forta found her. She's very cute."

Kreten: "You gonna eat her?"

Aina: "Uh, no sir."

Kreten: "Hmm… well you have been behaving lately…"

Aina: "Yes sir."

Kreten: "Barely any signs of the new guys figuring it out. Although they do seem to fear me since the little spider incident. That Steve boy seems to have a tight leash around his girl."

Aina: "She isn't his girl…sir."

Kreten: "Right, right, just like your not Shiko's girl."

[Kreten starts circling Aina]

Aina: "Did yo-"

Kreten: "Are you going to suggest that I made Shiko sick so that he couldn't hunt and that you all would have a shortage of food? Never."

[Aina nods, becoming scared and looks down at her hands]

Kreten: "Hm. Now I want you to get rid of all that food, and give it to me. Now. I want the seeds too."

Aina: "But, Kreten I-"

Kreten: "Shut up. You and I both know it's only a matter of time before all of you are dead and I get a new batch of victims."

Aina: "I-I what do I say to them?"

Kreten: "Boris ate them all."

Aina: "Uhm…ok."

[Aina starts to farm the remaining food, picks up the seeds and gives them to Kreten.]

Kreten: "Thank you. Your little friends would appreciate it when they know the alternative. Oh, but they may not be around that long."

[Kreten walks back to his house. Aina looks at the empty garden as the irrigational water just sits there, but nothing grows. She starts to cry, putting her hands to her face and collapsing to her knees. She is exhausted and now does not know how she will feed everyone.]

Scene 6:

[Forta and Nevin enter the camp, seeing Aina crying on the ground. Forta hesitates and sees the food is gone from the farm. The farm is in front and to the right of the structure.]

Forta: "Nevin go to Aina's house."

Nevin: "Bu-"

Forta: "Now."

[Nevin frowns and goes inside Aina's house.]

Forta: "Aina, what happened?"

Aina: "Boris ate it all. I walked away for a second."

Forta: "It's ok Aina. We can eat meat for a little while, and we still have a little bread to spare."

Aina: "I'm so sorry."

Forta: "It's not your fault."

[Forta extends a hand to Aina, Aina takes it and gets up. She is covered in dirt and mud.]

Forta: "Hey, it's alright. We'll be fine."

Aina: "Yeah I guess. Now Nevin can hunt with us."

[Forta is silent and then nods, choking a little]

Forta: "Yeah...yeah."

[Forta hugs Aina just as Shiko and Steve come back. They open up the door and see the girls hugging. Steve and Shiko look at each other questioningly, then turn back to the girls]

Steve: "Uhm, hey. We brought back chicken, feathers and ink!"

[The girls stop hugging and turn to the boys, Aina still has tears in her eyes]

Shiko: "Aina! Are you ok?"

[Aina nods her head]

Forta: "Boris ate the garden when Aina left it for a second."

Shiko: "Aina, it's ok. We'll be fine for a while without it."

[Aina looks down at her hands and doesn't respond. Steve takes out some feathers and ink and hands it to Aina]

Steve: "There. For your diary."

Aina: [faintly] "Thank you."

[Aina suddenly left them and went to her house, saying nothing more]

Steve: "What the hell was that?"

Shiko: "She takes a lot of responsibility for us. Messing up this bad must make her feel like she failed us.

Forta: "It was a simple mistake, and it's not that big of a deal anyways."

[Steve shakes his head and sighs]

Scene 7:

[It is dark now. Forta and Steve are sleeping in their separate beds. Creaking is heard as Aina tip toes into their room and wakes up Forta. She shakes her until Forta sits up suddenly.]

Forta: "AI-"

[Aina puts her hand over Forta's mouth and puts a finger to her mouth like she did the other week on the beach. Forta nods and Aina takes her hand off her mouth and her finger off her mouth and turns to Steve. She does the same to wake him up. Steve says nothing as the girls make the symbol for him to be quiet. Aina hands the two iron armor. Aina gives Forta a bow and 20 arrows and Steve an iron sword. Aina beckons them to follow her with a wave of her hand. They follow her out of their house, out the camp and back towards the beach…

When they make it to the beach Aina points in the direction of the green spec, but now it seems to be lit up. Forta squints and makes out the lights out on the water. Steve's eyes widen with amazement.]

Steve: "W-"

[Forta puts her hand on his mouth and shakes her head. She does not know why they needed to be quiet, but Aina made it seem important. Aina smiles at them and then takes out a crafting table. She starts laying out sticks, wood, blocks and panels. Every time it didn't change into something else she frowned and shook her head. Forta and Steve watched in awe, trying to figure out what Aina was trying to communicate. Forta looks at the shaped Aina tries to make and then towards the lit up spec in the distance. Steve stares at the spec and thinks. This goes on for a while until Aina gives up and stares at them with a desperate look. She points to the spec, hoping they will understand. Forta looks back at the spec and then to Aina. Steve is still concentrating on the spec. The sun is starting to rise, and they are all visibly tired. Aina shakes her head. She picks up her supplies and her crafting table. She starts to walk back to camp, and wordlessly Forta and Steve follow.]
