The Secret of the Crystals

4 - Teaching survival skills to Lindsay

"Hehe, okay, sis, it will be very good to have your company, do you want me to teach you survival skills?" asked Ana.
"Yes, I want to learn it with the best!" said Lindsay, smiling while looking at Ana.
"Hehe, I'm not too good at surviving, sis, but thank you.
Let's go to sleep?" asked Ana smiling.
"Okay, sis," said Lindsay.
They both started walking to the hut of their parents, Ana said goodnight to Lindsay, and Lindsay said goodbye back.
They walked to their bedrooms, laid on the bed, and slept.

...

Then, after waking up, Ana got up and walked to the kitchen, Jena had already made breakfast.
Ana sat at the table, Lindsay and Panda were there too, Ana started to eat with them.
"Hey, sis, do you want to take a bath at the ocean after we eat?" asked Lindsay, smiling.
"Yes, a bath would be relaxing right now, even if I relaxed a lot while sleeping," replied Ana, smiling.
Ana and her sisters finished eating, they started walking to the beach.
Lindsay and Panda had necklaces too, they also gave them magic and spells.
Lindsay had a necklace with a green jewel, it was given by her father, which was a fairy too.
The necklace of Panda was purple, it was given by a friend of hers, that friend left the fairy colony some months ago to live alone, surviving on an island.
Ana started walking to the ocean, she started swimming, Lindsay and Panda did the same thing.
(A good bath in the ocean is always relaxing... Hmm... The chill water, closing your nose and submerging into the water, how relaxing...)
Ana made a spell with the help of her necklace to throw some water in Lindsay and Panda, the trio smiled.
Lindsay made a spell with her necklace that made it possible for the three to breathe underwater.
The three started exploring the depths of the ocean, looking at the fishes and other marine creatures.
It was so good to feel the chill water touch and cover their bodies, making them relax, making them feel the water and swim with it.
They felt so happy and relaxed there, swimming while looking at the corals, the fishes, the sand, what a delightful feeling.
Then the trio swam back to the surface, they noticed that they were a little far from the beach and the island.
They submerged into the water again and started swimming back to the island.
(This reminds me of a chapter of Desert Island where the character swam on the water, a little far, then came back to his island.)
Ana got out of the water and started walking close to some fairy kids.
"Hey, do you guys wanna breathe underwater?" asked Ana, Lindsay walked close to them, Panda did the same.
"Yes!" replied the kids, smiling at Ana.
Then Lindsay told them to get closer together, Lindsay made the spell using her necklace and the kids could now breathe underwater.
They thanked Ana and Lindsay, smiling, then walked close to the water and begin to swim, smiling and breathing underwater.
"Hey girls, I think I'm gonna take a bath and then I'm gonna go to an island," said Ana, looking at her sisters.
"Okay, can I come with you, Ana?" asked Lindsay, looking at Ana's eyes.
"Of course sis! Hehe," replied Ana, smiling, "Do you wanna come too?" asked her, looking at Panda.
"No, thanks sis, I think I'm gonna stay here taking care of mom and the village, also, mom said that the experiment of the crystals will begin today in the afternoon," explained Panda.
"Oh, okay, tell me how it was after it is finished okay?" asked Ana.
"Okay sis, good luck on that island, hehe," said Panda, smiling at Ana and Lindsay.
"Thanks, little sis!" said Ana smiling.

Then Ana flew to her hut, where her parents lived, she walked to the bathroom and took a bath.
Then she walked close to Lindsay, which was in the living room.
"Hey sis, do you wanna go now?" asked Ana.
"Yes, I just gotta take a quick bath okay?" asked Lindsay.
"Okay, I'll wait for you, hehe," said Ana.
Lindsay then took a bath, she walked to the kitchen and ate something, then she walked to the living room where Ana was.
They both told Panda that they were leaving, they hugged Panda and she hugged them back.
The two walked to where their mother was and told her that they were going to an island, it was still morning.
Jena hugged them and the two hugged her back, smiling, Jena was going to miss their daughters.
Then Ana and Lindsay started flying, they flew high and hold her necklaces.
Ana started looking for a good island where she had not gone before, Lindsay was following her.
She stayed at a lot of islands, surviving, so she left her stuff there, the axes, baskets, food, and other tools.
Ana found a good island and flew close to it, she landed on the sand, Lindsay did that too.
"Is this the island that we're gonna stay, sis?" asked Lindsay, looking at Ana.
"Yes, do you like it?" asked Ana, smiling.
"Yes, it is pretty beautiful and big, hehe," replied Lindsay smiling, she was happy to survive along with her sister.
So Ana started looking for a sharp stone that looked like a knife, she told Lindsay to do the same.
Lindsay found one and gave it to Ana, she smiled.
Ana walked close to some stones and grabbed a large one, she walked to the ocean and soaked it in water.
"This is needed for you to sharpen the stone, so you can cut stuff with it," said Ana.
"So you sharpen the stone with another stone but it is wet?" asked Lindsay, curious.
"Yes," replied Ana.
Then Ana grabbed the stone and left it close to the edge between the forest and the beach.
Ana told Lindsay to get closer, Lindsay walked close and sat beside her.
Ana started sharpening the stone by scraping it on the larger stone.
She gave the stone for Lindsay to try, Lindsay managed to sharpen the stone, it was very good, Ana was proud.
Then Ana walked to a tree and grabbed a thick stick, she showed Lindsay how to cut the tree when you do not have an ax.
Lindsay grabbed both of them and cut the tree very easily.
"I'm gonna show you how you make an ax, sis," said Ana.
"Okay, I'm so excited, hehe," said Lindsay smiling.
Then Ana cut the tree in half and told Lindsay to make a hole in the half tree to put a sharp stone in there.
Lindsay did the hole and smiled at Ana, Ana was proud.
Ana walked to the forest and looked for a rectangular stone, she found one and brought it close to where Lindsay was sitting.
"Now you need to sharpen this rectangular stone to serve as the blade for the ax, then you put the stone inside the hole," said Ana.
Lindsay grabbed the rectangular stone and sharpened it using the big wet stone.
Then she grabbed the thick tree branch with a hole and inserted the rectangular stone inside it.
Lindsay grabbed another thick tree branch and started hitting the rectangular stone with it to attach the stone tight to the ax handle.
She finished making the ax, Lindsay smiled at Ana, "Thanks, sis, I'm so proud of this ax, hehe," said Lindsay, smiling.
"No problem, sis, hehe, I loved to teach you, you're very good," said Ana, smiling.

Then Ana got up and started walking to the forest, she arrived there and started gathering dry leaves and tree branches.
She left those dry leaves and tree branches in a place close to the big wet stone.
"Now we gonna start to make a fire okay?" asked Ana.
"Okay, sis," said Lindsay, smiling, willing to learn.
"So, arrange these dry leaves and tree branches like a campfire," said Ana.
Lindsay did that, after that, she waited for her sister's instructions.
"Now get two sticks, and make three holes in one," said Ana.
Lindsay got up and looked for two sticks in the forest, she grabbed them and walked back to Ana, grabbing the stone knife and making three holes in one.
"Put the stick with the holes on top of the dry leaves," said Ana.
Lindsay placed the stick with holes on top of the dry leaves.
Then Ana said for her to get another stick and put it on one hole of the stick with holes, she did that and started rotating the stick with no holes.
Smoke started to come out of the dry leaves after Lindsay started rotating the stick.
Lindsay grabbed the dry leaves and started blowing them.
Ana said for her to put the dry leaves on top of the sticks and tree branches after the fire starts.
Lindsay did that and the fire started, she kept adding sticks and tree branches to fuel it.
Ana clapped and smiled at Lindsay, "Congrats sis! You just did fire!" said Ana.
"Hehe, thanks sis, I could do this with your help, you helped me a lot, thanks," said Lindsay smiling.
"Hehe, are you hungry? I think it is almost afternoon," asked Ana.
"Yes, I'm a little hungry, what are we gonna eat?" asked Lindsay.
"First we need something to catch the food," said Ana.
"Hmm... A spear?" asked Lindsay.
"Exactly, we need to find a good thin tree to cut it down and use it as the spear," said Ana.
Then they started walking to the forest, looking for that type of tree, Lindsay was holding the ax.
Ana found a thin tree and told Lindsay to use the ax to cut it.
Lindsay cut it down and grabbed the thin log, they started walking back to the campfire.
They sat on the ground and Ana told Lindsay to put the tip of the spear into the fire to char the blunt tip, she did that.
Then Lindsay scraped the burning tip of the spear in a large stone to sharpen it.
After that, Lindsay grabbed a piece of wood and polished the tip of the spear with it.
"Good work, sis!" said Ana smiling.
"Thanks, sis! Can we fish something?" asked Lindsay.
"Yes, I'm gonna teach you how to use the spear to catch fish," said Ana, walking to the shore of the beach, close to the water.
Lindsay walked there too, holding the spear.
Ana taught Lindsay how to aim the spear at the water, she said for her to wait for the water to get calm and the fish to calm down.
After that, Lindsay looked at the water, looking for some fish, she waited for a little and shot the spear, aiming at a fish.
She got one fish on the first try, Ana was smiling, proud of her sister.
"Hehe, you're like a prodigy sis, you're so good at this!" said Ana smiling.
"Thanks, sis, I learned with the best, hehe," said Lindsay, smiling at Ana.

Then Ana grabbed the fish from the spear Lindsay and left it on top of a stone.
"Now let's skin the fish to remove its scales so we can eat it," said Ana.
Then Lindsay grabbed the knife stone and grabbed the fish, removing the scales of it.
After that, Ana helped Lindsay to search for tree branches shaped like a Y.
They found them and cut them down, after that, they placed those branches inside the ground, close to the campfire.
Then they found another good branch and walked back to the campfire, Lindsay grabbed the fish and put it on the tree branch.
Lindsay placed more branches on the fire and placed the tree branch with the fish on top of the two branches shaped like a Y.
They were making a spit of a fish, the fish started to cook very nicely.
Lindsay hugged Ana tight and smiled at her, happy for doing the ax, the campfire, and cooking the fish.
"Thanks for helping me and teaching me about a lot of things of survival sis, hehe," said Lindsay, smiling.
"I'm always happy to teach you things, sis, it is good to teach the others what we know," said Ana, smiling.
They waited for the fish to cook, Lindsay walked close to it to check it and it was good.
Lindsay removed the fish from the stick, Ana grabbed the spear and caught a fish for her, then she skinned it.
Ana placed the raw fish in the stick and placed it on top of the two sticks for it to cook.
She waited for the fish to get ready and placed the cooked fish on top of a stone, cutting it in half and removing thorns and bones, Lindsay did that too.
They both started eating their fish, smiling at each other, the fish was delicious.
"What can we do right now, sis?" asked Lindsay, looking at Ana.
"Are you tired?" asked Ana.
"Just a little, what about you?" asked Lindsay.
"Just a little too, do you want to sleep?" asked Ana.
"Yes," replied Lindsay.
Then they both lied on the sand close to the fire and started to sleep, relaxing and resting.
