Introduction

~Years ago~

Kristina sat timidly on the sand in her sun-dress. She let they chilly ocean water surround her feet, then recede back to the endless blue water. Soon, her best friend Jackson came jogging up the beach away from a pillar of smoke."No one else seems to have survived the boat-wreck." he muttered sadly. plopping into the sand next to her."What do we do?" She sighed, resting her chin on her knees. The two teenagers whipped around when they heard a rustling from the forest A group of elderly people emerged wearing strange robes."Follow." They said simply. Kristina looked at Jackson."We have no where else to go." She ran after them, Jackson eventually following.

~Now~
Clover gazed in horror at the scene. Blood stained the dry grass that surrounded the clearing. She heard the moaning of Elder Sky and ran to her. All the other tribe members laid lifelessly on the ground. She supported Sky up."Sign," Sky said faintly, her once beautiful face very pale."Ancestors say, tribe begin again." Clover let her tears fall silently as the Elder grew frailer."You lead for new beginning." Sky's head fell back, and Clover hugged the body.

As Clover and Haven stood their last memorial, she spoke."Sky told me this was a sign from the ancestors. She said I was to lead the tribe for a new beginning." Haven nodded."Looks like we have no other choice." The friends hugged and trudged back to camp silently. Clover silently prayed to the ancestors.Please let this tribe rise again. I won't let Sky die in vain.
