LoTBS - Chapter 2

Lana’s   Journeys:

The Land of Blue Sun

                       ~chapter 2~

She awoke the next beginning and packed up all of her things

including the fur of the animal and the meat in the bag with the rest of her

belongings she bounced up to get the strap over her arm then she started

to walk the Northern Forest once again. Her large deep brown eyes

traveled from one place to the other as she looked around the forest

making sure nobody was around as she walked. After awhile her slender

arms dropped down from being crossed and Swung side to side as she

walked. Lana looked down at her feet as she walked Then she looked

back up and kept walking. After a period of time Lana started to get

thirsty. The gourd she had was empty and there wasn’t a spring in sight.

Lana had forgotten about the necklace she was wearing and she kept

Walking until the chain on her necklace made a chiming noise as the

wind blew then she put her hand up to her neck and felt her necklace

around her neck then remembered, “I almost forgot about my magic!”

she exclaimed. Lana walked over to a muddy little stream and looked at

it, then she touched her necklace and pointed at the stream with two of

her narrow fingers and she moved her fingers upwards picking up some of

the water in the stream ”how fascinating” she thought.  Lana looked at

the water she had floating in the air and wondered if her plan would work

then she spread her two fingers apart and the dirt was on one side and

the clean water was on the other “Yes” she exclaimed, “It worked! It

worked!” Lana had just taught herself how to separate dirt from water.

Lana moved one of her fingers back to the rest of her fingers dropping the

dirt leaving only the clean water floating in the air then she moved her

finger until it pointed to her drinking gourd and she put the water in her

gourd. Lana looked at her hands from front to back then front again

“Wow,” she thought, “Out of all of the different things hands could do I

would have never thought that this was one of them.” Lana got back on

task and continued to walk through the Northern Forest. Lana looked

around in the forest then climbed up into a tree to take a rest. She sat on

a branch and leaned her head against the trunk of the tree, She slowly

began to doze off. Lana dreamt about Master and the drills they used to

do together in her dream she heard Master’s strong, feminine voice tell

her “Ok Lana, lets see if you can catch all one hundred fifty flags and

beat your current time” In the dream she got the flags in five seconds

beating her current record of six seconds just as she had done a couple of

moons before Master’s death in the war. Then she woke up.  She

stretched out her arms really wide then yawned a little then gave a short

sigh of satisfaction. Now that she was well rested, Lana jumped down from

the tree and began to walk. Lana was still quietly walking in the Northern

Forest until a strong manly voice yelled angrily “WHO GOES THERE!”

LotBS - Chapter 1

Lana’s   Journeys:

The Land of Blue Sun

~chapter 1~

Lana went to her house and packed her things as she cried. ”My family, they are gone…and Master …is gone…the only person who cared

for me is Gone” Lana takes out the dagger that her Master had given her.

She looked at the dagger and her named inscribed on it and a tear runs

down her cheek. Lana puts away the dagger and continues to pack. She

packs a tarp, her bow and arrows, daggers, a sword, her wooden flute, a

family portrait, and a journal. Lana puts everything in a bag, then she puts

on her necklace that Master gave to her. She walks out of her room and

looks at her family dead on the floor and she says “My dear family, I know

you were ashamed of me, but I loved you all so very much.” she wipes a

tear off her cheek with her faded pink sleeve and starts to walk out the

door. “Off to start a new life…” she sighs. Lana begins her journey as she

walks out the door with all of her things with her she begins to walk down

the roads of The Land of Two Moons as she looks at all of her dead allies

from the battle. Lana starts to enter a forest as she walks north. As she

walks through the forest the darkness nears and she looks up to see a full

moon rising in the sky. Lana was already deep in the forest and it was dark

she looked around and tried to hear if any one was near. Lana heard a

continuous thud against the ground and her long, pointed ears twitched

from hearing the loud noise, then she heard a loud snort Identifying the

sound to be coming from a large animal. It was very cold in the night at

the Northern Forest and she hadn’t brought anything along so she

grabbed her bow and arrow and swiftly ran to the sound of the animal.

Lana hid behind the tree and observed the animal from afar. It was large

and fury and the meat looked good to eat. Lana then took out her bow

and an arrow and precisely aimed at the large animal grazing on the

grass. Lana had her good eye open and one eye closed then she shot

her arrow at the animal and it falls over making a loud noise and some

birds fly out of the trees nearby. Though the animal was three times Lana’s

size she was still able to carry the large animal in her tiny arms. Lana

carried the animal to a small clearing in the Northern Forest where she put

the animal on the ground and she sat in front of it. Lana pulled out a knife

from her bag and started to skin the animal taking off its fur, then she

decapitated the animal and laid it down on a group of leaves. Lana then

got up and took nine large stones and placed them in a circle then put

some sticks in the middle. Lana touched her necklace and formed a small

flame on the tip of her index finger and she lights one of the sticks near

the bottom. As the fire on her finger goes out she gets up while a flame

forms on the sticks then she finds three large sticks and sets them up over

the fire she ties the large, headless, animal’s hooves together onto the

stick and cooks the meat over the fire. As it cooks Lana takes out the tarp

from her bag and gets five large sticks and she forms a tent then she puts

all her belongings including the animal’s fur in the tent. Lana watches as

the meat of the animal cooks in the fire. Lana takes out her daggers and

sharpens them one by one with a rock. The first one she

sharpened broke the rock so she had to get more than one. As she

finished sharpening her last dagger the meat was ready and she got up

and picked up the hot meat and put it on a big leaf and starts to eat it.

The moon has risen all the way up in the sky and Lana looks up at it. Lana

sighs “Wow the moon looks so beautiful tonight.” She looks back down

and eats a little more of the meat then she wraps it up and puts it in her

tent to eat the rest later. “I guess I better get some rest,” Lana said. She

then put out the animal fur and laid down on it then she got out her

journal and began to write a poem about her day on the wrinkly

piece of paper :
