Chapter 3: A Doomed Friendship Time passed, and soon Akito and Alun had grown into children. Akito's dark skin and hair were similar to his mother, while Alun resembled his father.
The two were good at cleaning though they were young, and good friends with each other. As twins, they would compete to finish their Child Aspirations, and whoever did it first would breed with Nizhoni. One day, when they had free time, they sat down to chat.
"Akito, what do you think you'll do in your teen years if Creator Nizhoni doesn't choose you? I think I'll help in the garden with Shikoba."
"I think I'll paint when I can." Akito replied shyly.
Meanwhile, Shikoba had started fishing again. (OoC: Please ignore the fact that she's pregnant in this picture.)
Nizhoni worked on her handiness skill, crafting sculptures for the ceremony that would happen soon, and repairing objects that the children couldn't fix. The money earned from it went into building a bigger Slave Hut, so that Alun and Akito would have room to sleep. But unfortunately, on their Young Adult birthdays, the hut would become empty.
