Child of nature (1)

500 A.D.

A small settlement in the woods which is pretty big for the current time can be seen.

Around over 100 people live here. This place isn't as simple as it seems.

If someone looks carefully then they can see some small children are doing something strange. It's like they are witches and doing their voodoo things or ritual.

One adult woman is watching at there progress. Suddenly the woman said "you are doing it wrong again. You should learn something from Inadu. She learns all this beginners stuff on her first try?"

One of the girls said, "but she was born with large magical power than us."

The woman face turned dark as she said "don't question me. And yes she born with more power but it's doesn't make you strong. He needs good comprehension for learning magic too. Now try again."

All the children stop and again start training. But some curse this Inadu as they always compared them with her.

"Did you hear, other nearby settlements also start talking about Inadu and her power?" Said a mam to his friend as they drink.

His friends reply to him "yes I have heard. But it also worried me."

His friend also nodded at his reply.

"Inadu, didn't you say you will go to the woods for collection fruit today?" Shouted a woman. She has some white and red paint marks on her four heads and cheek.

A voice comes from inside the house "yes mother, but after I finish this book."

The woman shook her head listening to her daughter or Inadu. She then said to herself "this girl."

Inside the house

A beautiful girl is reading a book that is in her hand. She has black hair hazel eyes and a beautiful face. She looks around 16 years in age.

Books aren't common this early. Only tribe history and some important information is written in notes and the tribes carry it for generations or the grimoire.

She can't get grimoire from others which as it's very important to them. She only red her father and mothers grimoire.

Now she is reading a tribe history book. Or her favourite part of the book.

It's the section where information about the child of nature is written. The one and Only true immortal.

As nature always keep balances, so when someone tries to disrupt the balance nature will give another to bring the balance.

She always read this part, where it describes that the child of nature is powerful and born with large magic. They can learn all types of magic. They can even control the natural force easily.

She always imagined that how good it would be if she ever meet this child of nature.

Then her mother again calls her to go out. She closes the book and keeps it on the desk.

She then takes a basket and goes outside.

Seeing that her child comes out she smiled and said "come faster."

Inadu nodded at her and said "okay mother." And walk through the settlement.

Everyone that sees her smile. Some give fake smiles some ignore her.

This wasn't new to her. Because of her magic, they hate her. Also, some even curse her behind her back as she learns magic faster.

Because of this she also starts to distance herself from them. She doesn't even have a single friend inside the settlement.

As she was almost going outside of the settlement a man blocked her path. He is 6 feet tall with black hair. He is wearing a good dress which showed he is also rich like her family.

Seeing man Inadu said, "step aside cousin, I am busy."

The man smile and said, "little sister why don't I company you?"

Inadu look at him and said "no need" and walk around him.

The man face turned dark. If he didn't afraid of her power then he would have shown her how to respect her elder.

After this little scene, Inadu finally reached where they grow vegetables and fruits. She then start collecting what her mother asked her to.

Suddenly she notices a deer. It looks very peculiar. It's look more beautiful than a normal deer and its body shine a little too.

The deer is looking at her. When their eyes meet they start to walk inside the jungle.

Seeing this beautiful and magical creature Inadu followed it. She wants to see where it lives.

The deer didn't run away when it noticed Inadu is following her. Instead, it behaves as if it wants Inadu to follow him.

When Inadu felt this she walks faster but no matter how fast she walks there is always a distance of 10 meters between them.

Inadu then stops running but follow him slowly. She suddenly noticed that scenario around her changed. It's look very beautiful. There is a small light ball flying. And the flower is on both sides.

After another five minutes of following the deer, she saw a green crystal as tall as 2 meters and 80 cm wide surrounded by five trees. The tree roots are on the crystal.

What made her shocked is that there is something inside the crystal. And the shape is like a human. She also noticed that the deer is now sitting in front of the crystal and closed its eyes.
