DARK OCEAN - (Eng.Vers) FREENBECKY

Chapter 4

1711, Easternmost part of Siberia, Chukotskiy, Russia

Without trees, everything looks flat from the footing to the edge of the eye. It was as if the sky, clouds and land were playing as one, friends without any obstacles. Very cold temperatures prevail in this tundra region, the natives use reindeer skins for everyday clothing, this helps the body to stay in the desired warmth.

No one can deny it if it is said that the looks of all the women from the Chukchi tribe can make the heart feel amazed like seeing an angel, they were born with this luck. Beautiful eyes and a face that seems to have been carefully thought out in its creation. It seems that the creator took quite a long time to make the faces look beautiful and special.

Reindeer herders and whale hunters, these are the jobs of the elders there. Life is quite hard to live, making the residents here have a tradition. Wait a minute, is this a tradition? Not, wrong. This is not their tradition, but residents who have reached old age usually volunteer to die. Yeah, they were like, 'Okay, it's time. Kill me.' No one makes all of that a burden, as if it's no problem to be killed by a herd, after all, life is this hard. Also, due to the harsh climate, poor health system, and low social standards of living, the standard life expectancy of the Chukchi is less than fifty years.

That is a fact that this one woman does not want to have. She thought about running away from that place, and wanted to breathe freely in another place, warmer and with lots of trees.

Yes, we are talking about Freen, who is the child of the tribal leader, Samman. This beautiful woman felt like rebelling against the whole situation. She couldn't stand the cold feeling that penetrated her skin, what's more, hunting seals and whales for food, Freen wanted to reject all of that, she also wanted to eat other foods, fruit or plants, green. Finally Freen thought of an idea, she reasoned that she wanted to get out of that place with reasonable words, this woman said, "Otec," Father. "Freen wants to go to the warm coast for a while to get the Ashitaba Plant, this plant can cure various diseases. Freen will be fine, Brat will accompany Freen." Brat: Brother, older friend.

It's not that easy, the father argued, "Freen, nothing can solve our situation. Whatever plant it is, it can't save us. Freen, this is not about disease, son."

With a prepared answer, Freen said, "Tetya told Freen this first, she said that this plant has extraordinary properties. And if you want, Freen will look for lots of ginseng. Otec definitely wants a warm body at night, right?" Tetya: Aunt. Incidentally, her aunt, Krasiv, has a wealth of knowledge about health and can read, she is someone who is respected by Mr. Samman. Apart from that, the chief of this tribe always listened to everything Bibi Krasiv said. But her aunt was only a memory, Mr. Samman was a little sad to hear that name.

But her father didn't want to hear Freen's words, she just said, "Freen, you're a girl, my dear. What if something happens to you?"

Freen was afraid that her father would forbid her, because this was the only chance to escape, "Otec, that's not the problem. What's more, the merchant ship will leave in a few moments, Freen must hurry so I don't miss it." I have to leave now, otherwise there will be no chance of leaving again, unless I'm in my thirties. The merchant ship for some reason stopped in the Magadan area.

Suddenly a tall man appeared, with a slightly scared face, she said, " Dyadya, let Freen go with me. I will look after her." Dyadya: Uncle. This man's name is Shir, he didn't fully accompany Freen later. Their stops are different, Freen only wants to use his name to sail away to a more beautiful world. Previously, Freen had begged Shir to take her, begging in various ways. Finally there was no other choice but to lie with those words.
