It's my first time doing a fanfic and English isn't my first language but i hope you would like it !
"Come one, wake up daughter we need to hunt the Kxaylkxa !"
My dad tries to wake me up at dawn. He like to hunt in those hours and with excitement he tried to take me away from my sleep. "Please Sempu..." i tiredly attempt to plead, knowing i wouldn't win against him.
"No you need to get up now !" His voice become firm, he shake me of to sleep rapidly. "You are Zeswa our people don't slack of. "
He always portrait me as lazy, even though i help the people by making medicine. For him I'm a disgrace for not being a warrior like him. With difficulty i get up from my hammock and got ready to leave with him.
"Come on why are you making that face you should be happy to contribute." he said wile calling for some direhorse. " After our hunt i need to see Kìn ! I already finished my jar of zangke."
My brows furrowed and i stop my walk " You are drinking to much! It's not good for you ! "
His eyes look at me like i was crazy for saying that " It's Zakru milk its good for our body, now enough talking, let hunts !"
Hours pass but my skill doesn't improve, i misse 5 targets and each time I receive harsh world.
I tried my best but i cannot hunts. My head is now looking down i want to disappears into the vast plains away from him. Sempu finally take matter into his own hands and killed rapidly and easily a Kxaylkxa.
"Now we go to the Circle." he's voice doesn't hold any emotion, he doesn't even look at me, ashamed. We ride fast making me feel a little better. I live riding a direhorse, i feel free doing that.
After some time i see the beautiful kites flying into the sky. Those green and red kites guide use into destination.
This camp compare to my small one is full of life and colors. As we go deeper into the camp i see Dance-fighters, children playing around and Zakru sleeping without a care in the world. Everyone was cradle by the warm wind.
"Aaah Kìn, good to see you ! " My dad finally smile after seeing he's old friend next to a small Zakru in the nursery.
"My eylan, nice to see you too! And you too Y/N !" He's voice was warm, he open his armes and i runs into them. I love my uncle! " Hi uncle, nice to see you too !" He laugh by my action, happy to see how i am excited to see him.
" What are you looking so sad, hun? Ahh i know, your dad was mean to you ! " He laugh again " What did you do Uälì for your daughter to be so upset !"
My dad laugh too " I wake her up too early for her !" i roll my eyes before exploring the circle, away from those two old mans. As i walk around i saw Fa'zak going into the craft tent in the center of the circle. In the Zeswa tradition she is the few one who can make kites , a noble art that i wanted to make too.
When i reach the tent i saw a lot more people than i thought. Normally a few where here what is all this commotion. " Ah, Y/N ! Are you participating in the Yaw'syul festival this year ! " I nearly jump Fa'zak scared me. "hi Fa'zak, sorry no i would participate this year..." i lowered my eyes and tail, feeling every eyes on me.
She made a displeased sound before questioning me more " Why, you need to find a mate... I'm sure you would have a lot of suitors !"
Fa'zak was a close friends of my mother, and her wish for me is to find someone. Every years is the same... The Yaw'syul festival is made for Navi who want to tell they feeling to other Navi by putting a small sugary fruit the tsmisuk at they feet.
But i always refuse i don't to leave my dad all alone even thought he can be mean, i know he love me. Or maybe I tell myself that because i have no friends, or no potential mate and I'm scared. Sometime i considered doing it but I'm not young, and i think not a lot of people would find useful for them.
"Y/N ?" Fa'zak was waiting for me to answer, she looked concern. " You spend to much time alone it's not good, maybe you should tried this years. Eywa have more surprise for you than you think."
I tried to argue, but before a sound came out of my mouth her hands was raise. Her tails raise rapidly and her eyes was determined. It's doesn't sound good.
"You would join in and if you don't find someone this saison, i would bother you again with this festival !" Without hearing my respond she gave me different tissue to braids around a tsmisuk so i could reconise my tsmisuk if i gave it to some who have multiple fruits.
As i braiding, feel something next my back, when i turned i see a tsmisuk, the braids around have beautiful color and the fruits was carved inside so i could put small object in.
I got up and look around the tent was silence, only smalls whisper here and there. People was watching me. Who gave me this ? I tried to find any clue of who would give it to me. But thereis no clue, nothing. I couldn't ask nothing because nobody would answer. It's only the personne who gave me the fruit that can tell me. Even thought everybody saw the Navi who gave me this.
Fa'zak come close to me and said with a shinning smile " Congratulation Y/N i knew someone would give it to you !" And again before i say something she bring me outside. My dad was there waiting for me "My daughter we will stay here until the festival is finished i have more thing to do than i thought." Kìn was next to him happy to hear this news.
"My eylan you could help Minang with medicinal potion, i hear by your dad that you are make wonderful ones. " Kin look at me with a big smile, i was thrilled to help the clan by doing something that i like. I would happy to do anything except hunting.
I nods exciting to help the Tsahik. But i feel like the reason we stay here is not because dad have "stuff to do".
The tsmisuk between my hands was the first hint .
