"Everything comes from the ground"
2|A BRIGHT SUMMER DAY
The sun is high in the sky as a girl sits on the field. The summer's grass has already begun to grow rapidly and the grass is high on the ground. Her eyes bark brown watch as a figure approaches her. The girl's pink lush lips smile as the figure sits down next to her on the warm grass. It's a man who smirks at her."I was not certain you would show" The girl speaks to the man that is in front of her. A chuckle leaves his lips. "When the most beautiful maiden in the village declared that we would meet on the field while the sun is high, how can I possibly deny?" He speaks.
His words make her roll her eyes as a laugh leaves her lips. "Oh, please, Declan. We both know that I did not declare we should meet, rather I ordered you. I am you sister, it is my duty to order you" The girl says to him. With her fingers, she plays with the soft grass. Not caring for the creatures that live in the grass. In fact whenever she does see a creature, an insect or other, she allows it to live it's live and does not ruin the life the creature has.
Declan, being her brother takes her hand and makes her bark brown eyes look into his identical brown ones. "You fail to mention that I am the older sibling, should it not be I who should order you, Asherah?" He asks her with a raised eyebrow. Asherah is not that man years younger than him and yet he never fails to remind her that he is in fact older than she is. "May be, yet as father said. Women are much stronger. Our mother is a wonderful example" Asherah says to him with a small smirk.
It is true. Their family is not like the rest and therefore they have been declared as odd and perhaps even mad for their father's belief that women are far superior than men. The only sample that he has is his wife. Who, many have declared a Witch because since her daughter had been born, she had never caught any ills and never felt hunger nor thirst and she does not appear to age as her husband does, and they are the same age. His wife, and their mother, has not shown any signs of exhaustion nor tiredness when she works.
And their daughter, the girl that sits there on the field has never been struck by any ill as well. Her beauty is the only reason for why they have not been chased away from the village. For every suitor lines up to have her as their wife. "Now, tell me, dear sister, why have you ordered me to come out here?" He asks her, feeling like he will not be able to win this battle with her of who should order who and who is older than who, that he will always lose.
Not that Declan minds that much. There is great love which he holds for his younger sister and he does hold the upmost respect for her, and their mother who he does say is a strong woman which everyone should listen to. A sigh leaves her lips as she stares at her brother. "I am two days from turning sixteen years of age. Father will soon not be able to keep me unmarried for long, and none will listen to when I deny. I will be married soon enough, when I do not want to" She tells him.
