Human & ape village

chapter 12

Kasandra pov

the village is called Verdura Haven, the village style was a combination of human and ape styles. tucked away in the desert cave system, there were still plants and trees. some parts had lush verdant forests. the village is a blend of human and ape building types, there are sturdy wooden structures built by both races. ape-designed buildings are more robust. the human-inspired building had a more artistic flair. paintings and even carvings on the side of the building.

I thought as I walked through the village there was an area, there was a communal garden where there are crops and herbs for the village. there was a hospital-like place, it's called the healing sanctuary. I thought in the moment, in the middle of the village. there was a beautiful large tree. it's called the Tree of Unity, I thought at the time.

as I walked home, I saw the human children and ape children playing together around the village. I smiled as I walked home, I lived on the outskirts of the village, and my home was made. mud, stone and wood, and branches. I thought at the time, on the side of the house were flowers and vines growing on the side of my home. next to my house, was a small stable for my horse cream. and behind the house. was a small garden I had started, flowers, herbs, and vegetables. I thought at the time, I knew I should be excited for the upcoming summer festival. all I could think about was the fact I escaped from that hellhole. I could not think about spending time at a summer festival. I thought at the time, as entered my house, I went to the kitchen.

unload my basket and food I got at the farmers market today. I thought at the time as I went to get things ready for dinner. make dinner, cooked vegetables and rice. I thought at the time, chop, carrots, bell peppers rosemary, and thyme. As I prep dinner I kept thinking about Cesar. there was something special about Cesar, he was caring and he understood the pain and everything that I went through. I thought at the time, as I went to put everything in the cast iron pot that rested on top of the cooking stove. it was like old-style ones, like the ones you think a witch would have I thought at the time. As the pot started to boil after setting the logs on fire to start dinner I heard wolves. howling in the background, the leader of the human and ape village. said that there were overpopulation wolves nearby, I prayed that Cesar and his ape clan would be okay and none of the wolves would find them. I thought as I heard the pot boil and cook my dinner for the night.
