Amazon challenge tribe Naheli

Birthday

The daily routine came back to tribe Naheli. This means a lot of working out, caring for the plants, cooking, cleaning and of course even more working out.

There was only one thing that changed. Keria spent more time in the living area. She was reading and not really interacting with her tribal members, but it was a big step for her. Keria even enjoyed beeing with people, althought she wasn‘t really talking with them by now.

Keria suddenly got a strange feeling. Before she knew it, she walked upstairs to Kalani‘s crib. It was his birthday and Keria was there to watch him getting older. His hair was quite short at the moment, but Keria knew it would lenghten soon. He wasn‘t wearing his offical clothes yet, but it was his birthday and Keria didn't care at all. For Kalani was everything new and exciting and he was hungry. Together they went downstairs. Keria knew that there was also someone waiting for him…

As soon as Kalani saw his mother, he rushed over to her and set next to her. There was something in the air something special…and then out of the nowhere a transparent figure appered and set next to her mother.
„Is this you Palla?“ said Tebethia with tears in her eyes. She was so happy to see him and that he saw their son.
„Yes my creator. I was allowed to come to the birthday of our child.“
„So you are my father?“ Kalani said to the – and he was sure it was something like a ghost – figure without any fear.
„Yes my little warrior. I am very pround of you. Take care of your mother. I am sure she need your help, my son.“
„I promise I will.“

„Palla, how long can you stay with us?“ Tebethia asked her beloved slave.
„I think we have the whole night. Are you thinking of having a work out session with me?“ Palla joked and wanted to take his death as easy as possible. He knew it was his destiny and he wouldn‘t change something. Because of this he had a wonderful son.
„Kalani, it is alredy after midnight please go to bed. I know you are tired.“
„But mum…“
„Your lids are even falling down in that moment.“
„Do what your mother said and don‘t forget your promise my little one.“
Finally Kalani went to bed and slept wonderful. He dreamt of training with his father and he dreamt of the woman he first saw, after aging up to a child.

Palla set up a tea for Tebethia and him. He knew of course that she was pregnant again, but he thought it was the best not asking about it. They set together and talked and talked.

After a while they really decided to train a bit and it was like Palla was still alive.

Meanwhile Fire took care at the plants. She lost a bit the interest about it. Her mind was full of her biggest wish.

Early in the morning Kalani woke up. He dressed in his official clothes and realized how long his hair got over the night. Kalani felt inspirated of the last night and wanted to be the best son a mother could have.

Kalani did his homework first. He thought it would be a good start.

But Kalani was not the only one, who woke up early. Also Fire stood up and was busy with exploring the compound surrounding area. She thought it would be good to discover some new plants and it gave her other thoughts.

After a while Keria set next to little Kalani. There was something at Kalani, she couldn‘t describe. It was like a breeze of destiny.
A while both were quiet, but then Kalani couldn‘t resist and asked Keria.
„You are the shaman, aren‘t you? What is it like beeing one? Is it fun? Did you always wanted to be one or…“
Kalani couldn‘t stop himself. He wanted to know everything.

Instead of answering Kalanis questions Keria hugged the little boy.
„Do you know where your name came from?“
The little boy shook his head.
„Let‘s go outside and I‘m telling you the legend.“

They laid down on the grass, watching the clouds.
„The moon always looked at night on the human world. He protected them from darkness and gave them hope. One full moon night when moon reached…“
Kalani was fascinated by this story and he enjoyed listening to it.

Tebethia‘s back was hurting. This pregnancy was quite more exhausting than her first. She wondered why, but maybe Palla‘s death overshadowed the disadvantages of being pregnant. To know that Palla found his peace and that he saw his son made his death easier for Tebethia.

Finally Fire found a new plant. She harvested it and took the seeds with her to the village, where she would plant them.

She ran back to the tribe. Fire thought it would be a good training too. It was really enough for today.

While Nomir showed Kalani his duties, Keria and Tebethia were sitting on the couch together. Like always these days Keria read something. Tebethia drank a glass of milk. It should be good for the baby.
Suddenly a well known pain let Tebethia stop. The baby was coming.
