Chapter 18 - The Birth of a Tradition

In the morning, Athan wakes up in a good mood and goes to check the fields. Several plants have broken through the surface during the night in Field 2. The soil is still moist, so there is no need to activate the watering system. After washing his hands and face, the boy heads towards the wall, specifically the section they are currently closing, which is located in front of the future toilets.

Speaking to the men, he instructs them to attach a log approximately 30 centimeters above the...

Chapter 17 - Between Words and Gestures

Athan woke the next morning feeling completely out of sorts. His body was heavy with exhaustion, his limbs sluggish as he sat up from his bedding. The night had been anything but restful. He had tossed and turned for hours, his mind refusing to settle after the conversation with Lara.

The weight of her words still lingered, pressing on his thoughts no matter how much he tried to push them aside. Every time he closed his eyes, his mind replayed the way she had looked at him, the emotions...

Chapter 16 - Bound by a Silent Promise

The next morning, as was his custom, Athan woke with the rising sun, just as the rest of the tribe did. Stretching his limbs, he made his way to the waterfall, kneeling at the basin to splash the cool water onto his face. The chill jolted him fully awake, shaking off the last remnants of sleep. As droplets dripped from his chin, he took a deep breath, enjoying the crisp morning air before turning his attention to the fields.

As he approached, he noticed that his scarecrow had drawn...

Chapter 15 - Whispers in the Night

Satisfied with his discussion, Athan returned to the fields after placing his village plan safely in his bedding. As he arrived, his eyes narrowed at an unsettling sight—three large black birds, their feathers glossy under the sunlight, were digging aggressively into the soil, their sharp beaks tearing at the freshly planted seeds. Small clumps of dirt scattered with each movement, the disturbance leaving clear marks on the otherwise carefully maintained plots. The birds worked quickly, the...

Chapter 14 - Foundations of Progress

Athan woke up feeling well-rested, unaware of the conversation that had taken place the night before between Rael and Lara. Stretching his arms, he shook off the last remnants of sleep before stepping out of his bedding. The cool morning air brushed against his skin as he made his way toward the basin at the base of the waterfall.

Kneeling by the water's edge, he cupped his hands and splashed the icy water onto his face, the sudden chill jolting him fully awake. He took a deep breath, i...

Chapter 13 - Unseen Ripples

Athan stepped out of the trench area and made his way back to his bedding. He needed to deposit the village plan he had inspected earlier to keep it safe before heading out to gather materials. Carefully, he placed the rolled parchment on is bedding and weighed it down with a small branch to prevent it from shifting in the evening breeze.

With his task complete, he turned his attention to the next priority—finding branches shaped like a Y. Having already crafted twelve U-shaped pipes,...

Chapter 12 - The Right Tool for the Right Job

Athan awoke to the soft hum of the morning, the sounds of the tribe stirring around him as everyone began their daily routines. The crisp air carried the scent of damp earth and smoldering embers from the fire that had burned through the night.

Ok, still nursing his injured foot, Medi and Fi helped him seat at his work area, before he started carefully crafting more shoes. Determined to prevent others from suffering the same injury, he focused intently, shaping the materials with precis...

Chapter 11 - Blueprints of Tomorrow

Athan wiped the sweat from his brow, his fingers stained with dirt as he looked over the small patch of land he had just planted. The seeds were nestled into the earth, a promise for the future, but his work was far from over. He knew he would need to monitor them, to find ways to ensure they received enough water and protection from animals. Yet, as he stood and dusted off his hands, a sense of accomplishment filled his chest. This was the beginning of something new.
As he turned to leave...

Chapter 10 - Tools, Plans, and Growth

As the boy wakes up, blinking away sleep, he took in the movement around the camp, the early morning sun casting long shadows over the settlement.
Nearby, a group of women gathers around Nat, their hands skillfully twisting fibers into strong rope, their quiet conversation blending with the rustling of leaves. Their movements are practiced and steady, a necessary craft that ensures the clan has enough cord for tools, traps, and construction.
A few meters away, the four hunters are prepa...

Chapter 9 - Growing Settlement

Now that the men had begun constructing the wall to protect the clan and had grasped the fundamentals of its creation, Athan began by using some branch to indicate the path for the future wall, marking other trees to be cut and continuing to clear the ground. He ensured that no debris or roots would interfere with the structure's stability. His hands worked swiftly, pulling out stubborn plants and leveling uneven patches of soil to make way for the trench. Every handful of loosened dirt was t...

Chapter 8 - Raising the First Barrier

His father had already flattened one side of the massive log and was now focused on hollowing out its interior. The process was slow and labor-intensive, each stroke of the axe carving away thick curls of wood. Athan watched closely as his father worked, sweat glistening on his forehead as he methodically chipped deeper into the trunk. This was no normal bowl—Athan envisioned something much larger: a crude but functional cooking pot, a vessel capable of holding water and ingredients to make...

Chapter 7 - First Step for a good meal

The first rays of sunlight crept over the towering mountains, casting long shadows across the valley. The mist rising from the river glowed golden in the early light, swirling gently above the water's surface before dissipating into the cool morning air. The jungle beyond the settlement stirred to life—birds calling from the treetops, unseen creatures rustling through the undergrowth, and the distant howls of predators retreating from the night's hunt.
Athan lay on his side, his eyes ope...

Chapter 6 - Planning the future

 Athan wakes up in the morning, surrounded by his people, who are already preparing to set off once again. The air is crisp with the lingering chill of the night, and the first rays of sunlight paint the sky in hues of gold and orange. Over the next few days, as the clan steadily moves toward the distant mountains they first spotted on the horizon, he observes his surroundings with keen interest. The once-distant peaks grow closer with each passing day, their towering presence a silent p...

Chapter 5 - A Vision for the Future

Without a word, she suddenly stood up and took his hand, her grip firm but not harsh, and began leading him away from the fire. Athan blinked, surprised, but followed without question. Her determination was evident in the way she moved, her gaze fixed ahead as she led him through the camp. Athan's small legs struggled to keep up, his thoughts racing. "What is she doing?" he wondered.

His mother didn't stop until they stood before the chief—his father—who was seated on a large rock n...

Chapter 4 - A First Hunt

The morning greeted Logan with a renewed sense of excitement. After the previous day's success in crafting his slingshot, he was eager to test it further. Deciding to simplify his pouch, he left the fire bow with the Firekeeper, freeing space to store his slingshot and a collection of small rocks for ammunition. As the clan prepared for their daily journey, Logan began practicing his aim, targeting nearby trees.

Hitting large objects like trees was easy, but smaller targets, such as ind...

Chapter 3 - Learning opportunity

Logan shifted uncomfortably, feeling the weight of the clan's stares. What he had thought would be a quiet surprise for his mother had turned into something far larger than he anticipated. The fire he had started, though small and flickering, seemed to have stopped the entire group in their tracks. Every member of the clan stood frozen, their eyes wide and fixed on the flames.

All except for the young woman who was normally responsible for tending the fire. She stepped forward slowly, h...

Chapter 2 - Another day

With the fire officially crackling and a decent pile of wood accumulated, the clan began to settle into their evening routine. Logan watched as the members of the group took out the items they had gathered during the day—fruits, mushrooms, and various plants. Some of them crouched near the fire, using sharpened branches to roast mushrooms over the flames. The earthy scent of cooking filled the air, mingling with the tang of smoke.

But not everyone waited for the fire to do its work. M...

Chapter 1: Awakening

Logan stirred, stretching sluggishly as he emerged from the depths of a heavy, dreamless sleep. A sharp, pounding pain blossomed in his skull, forcing a groan from his lips. He had never experienced a headache this intense in his life. His hands instinctively reached up to cradle his temples as if physical touch could somehow ease the relentless throbbing. His vision blurred as he opened his eyes, only to squeeze them shut again. The ache felt as though it was splitting his head in two.
