The blow that Maple received sent her flying, but she quickly got up and said, “The truth hurts, doesn’t it, Sequoia!?”Sequoia yet again becomes visibly enraged by her words and is about to go for another punch, but a group of warriors, including Orb and Buloke, hold him down.As he is being held, Buloke says, “I know what Maple said was out of line, but doing this won’t get your point across at all, so please calm down, chief.”As the chief relaxes, he turns around and walks away, but as he tries to do this, Maple starts walking up to him and says, “Is that all you’ve got, you piece of trash!”The chief, ignoring all her words, walks away, but Maple continues to spew insults at him without stopping. “Garbage, filth, pig, idiot, MURDER!” But she eventually falls to the ground holding her bruised cheek, as some people try to go up and help her, she screams “, LEAVE ME ALONE!” And then she runs off with tears in her eyes, with Willow following her closely behind.“Cole, can you come wit

-Break-Φ “Why can’t they both understand? Is it because they are young? Is it because they were born without fear? I want them to be safe, but they strongly reject my wish. Am I supposed to let them jump into an abyss I know ends with them falling to their deaths?”Sequoia has been rambling on ever since Orb left, as if trying to convince himself of something.“Cole, may I ask you something?”“Go ahead.”“As someone who has lived in the outside world for most of your life, am I wrong? Is what I believe incorrect?”“The world is too big for anyone to have a comprehensive opinion on it, that includes myself, so I can’t tell you whether you or Orb are correct. Still, we all act according to some form of justice, so if you believe with all your heart that the outside world will only bring harm to your daughter, then don’t let her go, no matter what, and keep her safe, but that’s simply my opinion.”“Thank you for that, Cole,” he says while looking relieved.“CHIEF,” Aea says as she runs i

The Tritrex was a species that would survive regardless of its habitat. Their ability to become accustomed to their environment was unparalleled. If they needed strength, their bodies would adapt and increase their muscle mass. If they needed height, their bones would stretch. If they were required to fish, they would learn to swim, and if they needed to interact with humans, they would become more intelligent.There was even a time when humans feared they would overtake them on the food chain. One of them would cause enough problems, but due to their intelligence, they all worked in large packs with almost no infighting. The tiritrex’s were once the scariest animals to walk the earth, but that would all end when the land they were living on froze.The lush land of what Fimbulwinter was before was turned into a frozen wasteland where almost everything died. Even the tiritrex’s were not unaffected by the bone-chilling cold; just like all life living in Fimbulwinter, they dropped one by

-Break-Φ Ever since Maple went to talk with her father, she has started to fit in more in the village. She now speaks to all the other villagers and gets along with her dad. Sequoia has also continued to teach Maple about the outside world. Due to all this, Maple is almost always smiling now, which warms my heart. But the best part is that she is a lot nicer to me. Though if there is one thing that has been bothering me, it is her and Orb. Also, since the chief removed the ban on outside knowledge, she has also talked with Orb a lot. He has shared all his knowledge with her, and they have grown closer. This was great for me at first, my two friends were also becoming friends, and I couldn’t ask for anything better. That was what I thought, but recently, I have been bothered since they seem to be hanging out more often.They have also recently been showing off some bizarre behaviour, and when I have gone up to them to ask them what’s going on, they start to freak out and try to end the

After taking a breath, Cole says, “You know you’re messing up my plan here, after all that effort I made to make sure you, Orb, and Maple were left alone, you come and do this, YOU FUCKING IDIOT.”“COLE, ANSWER MY QUESTION!”“Ok then, for money, simply as that, everything from the village will all fetch a high price, there is your answer.”Enraged, Sequoia says, “So you destroyed our village for money.”“Basically.”“Even after everything we did for you, this is how you repay us, by destroying our village and selling us off. I swear, even if God forgives this transgression, I will not.”“That’s your fault for not sticking to your principles.”“What?”“You believe the outside world is dangerous, yet you decided to curtail your principles to look after Orb and me. You invited danger into this village. No one else, all my actions here are your fault and yours alone. You wouldn’t know this since you don’t cook, but it was rather easy to put lots of different types of drugs into the food: m
