Task


So there I was at the fires... after making sure my wagon and everything was in its place.. My mother put a few things in there from her and fathers wagon.. A pretty rug now covers my wood floor.. and she put two more furs on top the old pile that my brothers have given me.. And there is a bowl and a cup.. I am all set.. What more could one ask for..

I was sitting at the fires.. with some others of the tribe.. and the woman that scared me so badly the 1st day I met her.. Asked me.. would I chose a non tribe family member over a tribe member.. That really was the easiest question so far.. My parents instilled in my brothers and myself.. that once you leave the tribe.. then you are no longer tribe.. Unless its to like to visit the Sandars.. or raid a caravan.. or trade at the outpost.. but to leave and never come back.. you are no longer family or tribe.. So my answer was easy.. Tribe over non family member.. I don't think I will ever need to worry about that.. cause all my family is in the tribe.. no one have even visited a city.. or had any desires to..

Then some warrior came riding in.. and got himself something to eat.. and then pointed at me.. said Whats that?... So I polietly said who I was.. and such.. he had me turn around.. what an odd thing to do... And then he gave me a task.. he has 4 sons... and he wants new outfits for each by the morning.. I found out their ages and sizes.. by asking around... and worked on them all the night through... Once I had them done.. I set them on his platform all wrapped... I hope that he finds them satisfactory..

I was asked by the woman Cana to go to the track while this warrior and another ran some race.. It was pretty exiciting.. The woman I found out later.. is the leader of the clan of leatherworkers... I will be hoping she will give me some tasks..

I went to my furs after I got the little warriors leathers done.. and I am now just waking.. I have chores to do and help my mother..
