AVATAR Aquarius (page-1)

    As the waves chopped back and forth, the creature flailed uncontrollably as wild as the sea itself roiled and yawed. Lightning blazed across the sky as the rain and wind ceased to stop at a moment when one could not see daylight. Most weather was pleasant near the western sea, but today was extremely different. Without fear and discouragement, the hunter crept on the rock a spear in one hand and a bloodied fist in the other. She was tall, strong, visual to her surroundings, and above all else angry. She looked at the beast and hissed loudly, her tail swishing back and forth with her ears bent downwards in disgust and rage. “You have brought nothing but destruction to my village, now you shall pay!” She then leapt into the air lunging forward toward the huge creature, raising her spear to attack. But as she grew closer to slaying the creature, it swayed its gigantic tail slamming her to the sand with awesome force. There she laid on the beach unconscious from the fish’s mighty blow.

    “Tsmuke`! Tsmuke` wake up you are having a nightmare!” Sinasamoa said as she shook her sister moderately, but to no prevail she did not wake. Sinasamoa then grinned mischievously while biting one of her sister’s ears making her wake up screaming. “Tsmuke`, you were having a nightmare.” She said beaming with innocence. “Skxawng! How many times do I have to tell you…not to bite my ears like that?” Ahurewa said sternly as she sat up on her leaf bed. “You are such a Sturmbeast when you wake up aren’t you?” Sinsamoa said playfully flicking her tail sideways “You were having what seemed to be a nightmare and I………improvised a method to get you out of it.” Ahurewa looked at her sternly then rubbed her now sore ear “How much more biting do you intend on bestowing upon me every single time I have a nightmare?” Sinsamoa then shrugged and leaned her head on her older sister’s shoulder breathing softly “I would do it as much as I am willing for my big Tsmuke`.” As she rested on her shoulder, Ahurewa looked at her and gently brushed her head smiling. The sun was shining through a small hole in Ahurewa’s cliff dwelling showing multiple objects that she had either crafted or scavenged from the nearby shore line from baskets to shells shining brightly in accordance to their wonder and beauty. Ahurewa then looked at Sinsamoa with a confused look on her blue face “……What is today? I think I have forgotten.” Sinsamoa crawled behind her big sister and playfully tugged her sisters tail “Don’t you remember Tsmuke`? Today is the day of your acceptance into the Ikran Txampan`ou clan.” As she finished her sentence, a tall hunter entered through her beaded doorway with a bow slung over her shoulder and with her quivered arrows bound to her grassy top. She had leather gauntlets that covered most of her hands and wrists, anklets that seemed to lead from the bottom of her feet to her mid-thigh, and a loincloth that looked blood-red with a stripe of orange going down one side. “’ite…” she said with a firm but soft voice “Are you ready to begin your day? Or are you going to lie around like a Palulukan waiting for its daily meal?” She said sarcastically with what looked like a hinted smile. “No Tsa`nuke,” Ahurewa said while getting up “I just……had another nightmare that’s all.”
