Chapter 12: More about the Tribe
"The Tribe of Striking Lightning?" The group echoed.
"Yes."
A/N – ARRRGH! DIE WRITER'S BLOCK! DX It took me… three days just to get past here. Yep. But thanks to Bes9200's method to get rid of writer's block, I'M WRITING AGAIN! HAHAHA!
"Whoa. This place is epic. IT HAS A TRIBE IN IT! YAY!" Miku yelled happily (causing the group to sweatdrop), then running off into one of the many huts which Charice hadn't noticed before. Probably because she was too busy trying not to die. A couple of seconds later, there were some screams, and some Tribe members dashed out of the hut, Miku chasing after them. "I ONLY WANT TO MAKE FRIENDS!"
"Haha… she's always like that," Charice laughed awkwardly, noticing the leader of the Tribe had a confused expression on his face. "Well, anyway… we haven't introduced ourselves. I'm Charice, this is Nile, Kyoya, Da Xiang, Mitsuki, and the one racing around like a madman is Miku." She pointed at each in turn.
"I am Kato, the leader of the Tribe. Once again, I am sorry for attempting to kill you," He looked at Charice's (very sore) wrists, "You should get your wrists healed up. Tazmin!" He shouted, and a few moments later, a young girl loped out of the biggest hut (HOW COULD CHARICE HAVE MISSED THAT?). She had dark brown hair which had two long braids from the front (extensions) ending in grey-ish feathers, dark brown eyes, and wore a t-shirt with a Siberian Tiger on it, denim jeans and a simple green zip-up jumper (A/N - WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM?). She was looking extremely out of place in the Tribe; the only clues that she was part of it were the extensions.
"Yeah, Kato – I mean, yes, my Leader slash Lord thingy, all high and mighty, what can I do for you?" Tazmin grinned, making Kato scowl.
"Speak properly, Tazmin, we have guests." Kato snapped, glaring at the said girl. "Tazmin wasn't born into the Tribe. We found her unconscious in the forest, so we took her in and raised her. It turned out that she's good with herbs."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Guests? Oh, hi there. I'm Tazmin. Healer of this Tribe, if that's what you want to call me. As Kato said, I'm good with herbs, so if you need any healing or stuff, I'm your girl, da?" She… spoke with a Russian accent… "Anyway, what are you doing here? We don't get visitors often."
"Hi. I can't be bothered to introduce ourselves again, so I'll just say that MY WRISTS AND HEAD HURT LIKE MAD!" Charice said, holding up her very much red wrists.
"Really? I'm not surprised. The rest of you have wrists like that?" The group examined their wrists and decided that they needed healing too. "C'mon then, into my hut. The herbs are in there."
Tazmin led them to a little shack near the edge of the clearing.
"It's not much, but it suffices. In." Tazmin ushered them inside. Immediately, a sharp, pungent smell filled the air. "Hmm… poppy seeds, poppy seeds… ah, here they are!" Tazmin rummaged around in a small box until she found what she was looking for. "Eat up. One or two each, and you'll feel better in no time."
Charice bit into the seeds. A tangy sort of taste filled her mouth. She didn't really like it.
But after a minute or two, the pain in her wrists began to ebb away, and her head stopped throbbing.
"Poppy seeds; they're awesome. Give 'em a few minutes and they'll make the pain fade away. They're really good for when warriors come back after chasing away a lion or what."
"I can tell! By the way, what time is it?" Charice asked, suddenly remembering something very important: THE SECOND BATTLE OF THE BEYBLADE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!
"The time? From the height of the sun," Tazmin peered out of the hut, "It's about 6 in the morning."
"6? GOD, WE HAVE GOT TO GET TO THE RUINS, AND FAST!" Charice started panicking.
"And… why is that?"
"Because, Mitsuki, IT'S OUR BEYBLADE TOURNAMENT AT TWO, AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE'LL BE IN THE RUINS!"
"Oh. Let's go! Quick!" Mitsuki ushered the gang outside, before running back in to thank Tazmin. "Thanks for the herbs!" And she ran out, Miku randomly screaming her head off.
"Wait! You don't know the way to the ruins!" Tazmin called after them, sticking her head out of her hut.
Charice skidded to a halt.
"The girl's got a point."
"Da (yes in Russian). I always have a point. OI! WAPPA! MOHEGAN! AHTNA! GET YOUR BUTTS OVER HERE!" Tazmin hollered at three men who were just walking past.
"Yes, Tazmin?" The tallest queried.
"I want you three to get your weapons and help these guys get to the Old Ruins. And make it fast: they don't have much time. HURRY! CHOP CHOP!"
The three raised their eyebrows at the small Russian girl, although they didn't complain and went to another hut. They came out a few seconds later, each carrying a spear.
"PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I HAVE RELATIVES IN YOUR COUNTRY!" Miku screamed, throwing her hands up in surrender.
"Haha… as I have explained to Kato, she's always like that. So… anyway, let's go!" Charice said, and before long, the group were speeding to the Old Ruins.
SUPER short chapter today, but heck.
No questions because I can't think of any XP
Pretty nice review box, eh? You get a Tazmin doll if you review.
