the mist

King Yaka and the elderlies, set in a meeting, questions were being thrown at him , much that he did not have solid answers to. " My king, its not only the fruits that is a problem, we have searched all around our boundaries and have found no game on sight" one of the elderlies informed the king.

The king dived in his memories, back to when he was hunting with Rico, it was rare that a hare appeared on spot, usually it could be something worth a satisfying feast.

King yaka tilted his head down. he was very angry with the forest. But he made sure that his anger was hidden away from the elders. All the animals are no where to be found in the boundaries, and all fruits in the area are not seen safe for consumption. Should the men, women and their children starve, of course the king will rebuke such a thing to happen.

Of course they where some food that were stored from the previous hunts, but their not enough for the days to come. The king had to act immediately before the situation becomes abysmal.

" Migration" the king said, still with his head tilted down. He looked up to the elderlies. The elderlies began to mumble amongst themselves, " we have no choice, the boundaries are unpromising, we have to go beyond them." King Yaka cleared.

" My king" one of the elderlies bowed.
" We do not know what the forest awaits, it is not safe to migrate"

" Of course its not!" Haidi exclaimed. He was sited near the door, staring at the children outside who looked tired of begging for food, he turned his head inside to face the elderlies, before he could say " but would you rather gamble your life's for something that is brightly obvious, the animals have flee, the fruits near the boundaries are rotten, there is no hope for us here, our means of survival left us astray. We have trained warriors who will protect us during the migration so what do you fear"

The king was not surprised, he knew that haidi, would always be on his side, maybe because haidi taught him how to make his decisions wisely.

The elderlies agreed to haidi's comment.

king Yaka grinned a little before he could say " i believe we have all reached to an agreement, you are all dismissed , go and prepare with your families for we will depart when the sun is still on sight"

After a moment, all the members of the tribe where busy preparing for the journey. King Yaka only prepared his weapons by sharpening the edges of his spear and small knife. The tribes population was not that large. Mainly because people especially the elders fall ill and pass before their time.

Haidi, also prepared his weapons, for he of all wise elders, thought his body was still not yet tired to fight when trouble calls.

" Father" Rico called out for haidi. " How do we know, the journey serves no harm?" Poor Rico was not prepared to migrate in the farther forest.

Haidi took a spear and glared at its edges before he could say

" we dont " haidi said. Not making eye contact with his son.
Rico's fear grew, together with anger that formed from his fathers statement , he hoped that his father could at least spare his fear from the unknown journey by providing a positive answer, but instead, he bared the opposite.

Haidi sighed ,sensing his son's worries.
" You're strong, i have seen from a distance how you have improved in your aim, you are installed and became one with the bow and arrow, if i would warn, i would warn the danger that awaits us, i fear you in its behalf " haidi turned to look at his son.

Rico regained confidence, and pulled his chest out. A clear brightened smirk pasted on his face, his ready for the journey ahead.

The banging of drums began, an indication that migration is about to commence. Warriors together with the king led the way while the tribe followed behind.
