"Flicker Shadow," Wind Voice suppressed his excitement, patting Flicker Shadow's shoulder seriously, "There are some secrets of the tribe that it's time for you to know."
"Yes, yes," Coiled Stone also chimed in eagerly, "Flicker Shadow is the successor to the tribal chief. He should have known these things a long time ago."
Flicker Shadow and Wind Voice looked at each other. Wind Voice coughed awkwardly, "It's too early to talk about successors. Let's first make the situation clear to Flicker Shadow."
Then, Flicker Shadow heard a story about "The Mother of Shielding."
In the "Free People," a story about a woman who could shield against the probing of the Elemental Magnetic Net was widely known. She was the hope of the entire tribe, known as "The Mother of Shielding," because only her descendants could free the tribe from their life of hiding.
"The Mother of Shielding?" Flicker Shadow had never heard of it.
"Don't you think this title not only conveys her importance as the creator of our tribe's fate but also has a mysterious and noble feel?" Coiled Stone asked in return.
"So, you came up with this name?" Flicker Shadow asked.
Although the name wasn't Coiled Stone's creation, he had actually seen "The Mother of Shielding."
At that time, the "Free People" — this was the name they defined for themselves in their pursuit of freedom — were living a very tough life. To escape the probing of the Elemental Magnetic Star Domain's net, they could only hide in the Verdant Thistle Forest, living like wild people.
They almost walked barefoot over hills and rugged terrain, searching for basic necessities.
Some searched along rivers for fish, while others looked in the jungle for wild fruits and vegetables.
Their search often ended in failure, sometimes not finding even a bit of food. Facing such plight, they could only hope the next sunrise would bring more luck.
Later, with the help of the native Terra Grove Tribe of the Verdant Thistle Forest, the Free People finally had a stable place to live and a consistent food source.
