Posted by For the past few weeks I went out hunting with Jorgen and Scarlet. I was sad to kill the animals that we were hunting. But I felt like I was moving forward, like I was learning a valuable skill. Tho I really liked collecting their pelts. Each one was very unique in their own way, there was never one with that same colors.
As I knew it two weeks had went by, I had collected a lot of different pelts. About more than half of them had pretty ombre coloring to them. Though as pretty as each of the color pelts were. They had really had greasy, unkept fur which had a horrible smell to them. But in the end I decided to clean the pelt. Which took hours cleaning each pelt by hand. IT WAS THE WORST THING EVER!!! After all of it I had got such horrible back pains from bending over at the pond all day. But when night came I started to rack my brain for answers. “There has to be an easier way of doing this.” I thought as I started to fall asleep from thinking to much. The next day I decided to stop cleaning the pelts and to think up ways I could make this easier on myself.
The more I thought I remember that my mother had built a wooden tub to wash clothes in. So maybe instead of bending over in the waterfall’s pond, it would be easier washing each of the pelts in a wooden tub. But if I were to do this I would need nails which I do not know how to get. But if I were to do this it would stop me from slipping and falling in the water. And maybe it would stop me from being soaked when I was done. “You know what I this is one of the best ideas I’ve ever had.” As I thought to myself with a huge grin on my face.
I then started looking for Jorgen to help me, because if Scarlet were to find out about me doing this I don’t think she would be happy. I mean when I show up for dinner soaked her bright smile turned into a frown as if someone had told her she was being bossy. Plus the worst thing was that she says is , “You’re going to make yourself sick if you keep playing in the water all day.” Tho I just don’t understand because………IT IS LITERALLY THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER AND IT’S AT IT’S HOTEST SINCE 10 YEARS AGO! I mean I understand about fall or winter but summer? That’s just weird! Tho I can’t complain because when it’s summer in west side of Semal its like the suns up in your face all day and all night for 4 months. Though when it’s at it worst it make you feel like your melting on the hottest day of the year. And on that day all you want to do is sleep and stay very, very still, because if you were to move an inch you would be sweating. Not a light sweat but a very, very, very heavy sweat. Like working for a whole year without stopping kind of sweat. Though as I was thinking about this torture I noticed Jorgen out of the corner of my eye. This was the perfect time to ask him if he will help me.
“Hey Jorgen! By chance do you know a good place for me to chop down wood? I want to make washing these pelts easier on me.”
“Hmmm…..So that’s what you’ve been doing. Then of course I know a place that would be great for chopping wood down! Just hop on and I’ll take you!”
“So……….you’re not going to tell Scarlet we’re leaving or anything like that?”
“Well you see she wants me to go see our crazy aunt Kowai because I lost a bet we had made. BUT I think she cheated some how. And because the last time I went to meet with Hershel was ranting about our other aunt that is “crazy” saying that she wasn’t the crazy one an all that. And because you know every sane dragon likes talking to trees which “doesn’t make her……crazy. So, I think it’s better if I don’t tell her we’re leaving because maybe I can get out of it. SO NOW LET’S GO!”
As we’re flying through the sky I could see all the views that were worth millions words. Each view was more breath taking than the last one. But I then saw something floating in the sky. It looked like it was part of the earth that was in the sky?
“Hey Jorgen what’s that flying thing over there?”
He turns his head to look at the flying thing. “Oh that over there? That’s what people call an aerial. The meaning of it being a floating island. It’s just shorter and easier to say. So that’s what sticked with it for hundred of years……..Anyways do you want to fly under it?”
“Is that even safe?”
“Of course it is. All the aerials you see will be held up by the eerie living within the world.”
“Wow! In that case let’s go under!”
As we turned our dircection towards the aerial. I could see all the vines hanging off it. It had look like it’s been there forever or maybe a few years. But whatever the case was the vines had a tough look to them. Like they could build houses out of the vines alone, because of how sturdy they were. Though if you were to build a house out of them it must be a pain to get rid of the thorns you could get under your skin. Like if you were to fall on them or touched them with your bare hands by accident. I could just image it now and that sounds like it would really hurt. But now that I think about that maybe building a house out of giant vines is a bad idea. Plus I would never live in one because if I were to somehow fall or get the thorns under your skin I would have to pick them out with a needle which hurts really bad.
“Ok we’re flying up little one hold on!”
As we flu up you could see the beautiful aerial with the puffy trees that laid on top of it and lakes that had so many pretty blues the blended together as each wave hit the land.
“Do you want to explore it? mMaybe chop some wood here?
“I thought you were going to take me somewhere else?”
“Uhhhmm….I mean this is close to home and I don’t see any monsters so you should be fine down there. Plus I could any monster that attacks us.”
“You don’t seem so sure that’s even safe?”
“I’m sure you’ll be fine!” He says as he flies down to the aerial.”
Once we landed the trees seemed so much taller than me. But that seems normal for someone that’s four feet tall. Though these trees seem smaller and short than the other trees I’ve seen. But the more we began to walk the scenery only grow more beautiful.
“Cool to think you’re standing on air?”
I turn my attention to look at him. “What do you mean we’re standing a piece of land that’s floating in the air?”
“Well actually we’re standing a gamoiane. A type of eerie.”
“Really? What’s that? Can you like please explain more about it cause you are making no sense?”
“Of course I can. After all I’m the wise one and I think it would be good for you to know about. So how you understand gamoiane eerie is by understanding the 5 base elements. Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, and Metal which happens to be a newer element. Since a few centuries ago. Of course metal has always existed but it took man a while to understand and use the element therefore it’s a new element. So the first thing you have to understand is how all the elements come together. Like how water takes fire out and how earth takes out water, then earth gets taken out by metal and metal gets taken out by fire. Therefore you have a full circle of elements that communicate with each other.But the only one that doesn’t fit into the circle is wind. The reason for this is because wind is superior compared to the others. For example wind can cool off fire making it disappear, wind can also pick up water and stretch it to make it air, wind against earth can take the oxygen from plants and any living thing, and last is metal, wind can break down the elements that are in the metal turning it to nothing. Though that’s very hard because compared to the other one metal is made up of all the elements. But now you understand how these are the base elements and how they work together. So now you need to know about the eerie. Eerie lays within the core of the earth. So eventually it rose up threw the layers of the earth making eerie possible to use. But when eerie rose very few humans were able to use it. So the humans that used wether it was from birth or being taught how to use it were killed ,because the humans that couldn’t use it thought that the people that could would try to corrupt the world. It’s a very sad part of history but it’s helped people grow and show them it who’s using that makes it bad. But now that you know I can tell you about how each eerie is made. So let’s start on this aerial we are standing. This is wind and earth eerie, together you get gamoiane eerie. Which the meaning of the name is just to words put together, Anemone and Gaia. They are both goddess that made this type of eerie.”
“Ok? So are there more aerials like this?”
“Yup! They were they one the taught the earth this eerie which is very practical.”
“Hmm…How do you teach the earth it’s not a person?”
“No it’s person but it acts like one. Think about the plants that live on it and animals makes it a living thing right?”
“Yeah I guess so but that doesn’t answer how this is a teachable thing.”
“Hmm…I think you will find that out in the future. But now I thought you wanted to chop wood?”
“THAT’S RIGHT! I FORGOT!”
