"Maybe this world really has changed", - thought Nikki. It was so hard to accept different laws and rules than she was used to follow in her native tribe, but Nikki didn't have another choice. She felt offended by Kotori as woman and as Amazon, but maybe she really was wrong? Yes, the men were taken by Amazons without asking they want that or not in her native tribe, but it seems, the Blessing Moon tribe lived different. Tribal sons had much more rights in this tribe than she expected. Nikki gave a deep sigh. She didn't want to fight against Wenona and her laws.
She didn't want to see her quarreling with Kotori like yesterday.
Nikki felt guilty and thought how she could bring back the peaceful atmosphere to the tribe. She spent a lot of time doing yoga rutine and trying focus on her heart. Nikki always felt a deep touch with shamanic life style. A woman who cared of her and her brother Noel when their mother Anya was far away was a shaman. She taught Nikki many things hoping that one day the kind spirits will find the way to Nikki's dream and the girl will find that she's a knowledge woman. Woman's name was Lakesha and she came originally from western lands, she told Nikki and other children many tales and stories about her native tribe, about animals and birds, she knew everything about every plant and tree, Lakesha even could tell what one or other tree feels and thinks. Nikki loved Lakesha so much, she changed her mother and gave to the little girl everything she could give, but once Lakesha died of the mysterious disease. Nikki still remembered Lakesha's pale face and how dying woman whispered weird never heard words in foreign language, big tears fell down on shaman's cheeks... Nikki cried caressing Lakesha's hair, asked her not leave her alone, but Lakesha sighed deeply one more time and closed her eyes forever. Later Nikki saw a raven flying around empty Lakesha's hut, Amazons talked that Lakesha turned to raven and Nikki believed in that. She saw flying raven around their hut very often... Nikki was sure Lakesha's spirit still cares of her and Noel. At that morning doing yoga rutine Nikki remembered Lakesha again. She tried to feel with her heart what Lakesha would advice her if she would be alive.
And Kotori didn't feel good, too. Hurting his sister twin he hurt himself. They never quarreled before, but now almost all were infected with some weird anger, it almost became the madness.
Kotori felt he has to do something, but he didn't know what to do. Wenona was very proud as he was, and he said really bad things her, it sounded almost like the accusation. Seeing his sister very angry he didn't dare to come to her and apologize.
But when in the tribe camp appeared Maat, Kotori's face brightened. When she joined the Blessing Moon tribe it seemed, suddenly started a summer. Her laughter was light and sounding like the wind rocking the flowers in the meadow, her look was warmer than the sun, Maat had what he missed so much. Maybe all tribe missed it, not only Kotori.
- May I ask why you all are so angry? What's wrong here? - once Maat asked Kotori. Even she felt annoyed and tensed of all this unpleasant atmosphere in the tribe.
- It's just because I and Nikki hate each other, - Kotori smiled ironically as always.
- But why? Is here a reason to hate each other?
- Honestly... - Kotori chuckled and shrugged. - I don't know! Well.. I know in fact... I understand that Nikki can't accept my sister's laws and rules... and I don't want to be forced to mate against my will. But you don't have to be worried about it, lady Maat, - Kotori smiled. - I believe you are totally different than Nikki.
Maat listened to Kotori carefully and nodded smiling when he stopped talking.
- I think I got it. Let's hope that the things will change soon.
Maat worked out long time till she decided to talk to Wenona.
- My creator, may we talk a bit? - she came to Wenona with a bright smile on her face.
- Sure, - Wenona nodded.
- Yesterday I walked around and I thought it would be good if we could change the tents to new. They seemed me too weak for such climate and weather what we have here.
Wenona thought a bit and then she nodded.
- Yes, our tents aren't strong. I thought many times about the hunt, but Kotori and Tahatan didn't notice any animal traces long time.
- They should to go and look around again... It's a spring, many animals should be awake from the long winter's sleep.
- You are right, - Wenona smiled. She already forgot about such things like hunt and fishing or gardening, they lived so long underfed and wandering from one place to another that they even used to hunger, cold and tiredness. - We need a try again... I'll talk about it to my brothers and Noel.
- Greet, my creator! - Maat smiled widely. - I'm sure this time we'll succeed.
- May Nanina bless you, Maat! - Wenona also smiled at Maat. It was a first time when she felt a hope that many things should change to better side, they just need to work hard for that.
Tomorrow she'll call all to the first tribal meeting.
