A legend, A myth, once said that the tribes will be united. That a little boy will have power beyond imagination and that he will be the reason of the union. The legend however did not say anything specific about a boy except for one little detail, a strange creature is his guardian and his family.
20,000 BCE;
A boy was born in the northern tribe, the Tenai, his mother died upon giving birth to him and his father was anonymous, they didn't even know the mother, she had said and pretended to be a grandchild of one of the old leaders but they didn't believe her so cautiously they allowed her to stay in a house that belonged to a dead man. In exchange she would have to help with the leader's house duties. she generously accepted their offer. After she died, the leader of the tribe refused to let the boy live in the tribal area. His skin was weird looking and they had no idea why. His mother had an ordinary skin, so he didn't inherit that from her. maybe from the father? the whole tribe looked in awe at his golden skin which shone just like the sun did in the middle of the day. His skin was clear, his eyes were Sea-blue and he was most certainly a strong baby, having no difficulty in opening his eyes at such a young age. He wanted to be looked at, to be cared for.
The child was abandoned in one of the caves that surrounded the northern tribal area, he was left to die. That night the whole tribe couldn't sleep from the deadly sound of the blizzard. although it was the sunny time of the year, where no rain fell and no ice fell as well, that night was different, the wind was blowing harder than they have ever witnessed and ice fell like there is no tomorrow for them to live.
That night, with the fifth strike of lightning, the Cave was lighted with a red glow, a glow they have never seen before. Frightened of even going there, they left the boy to suffer. However, the boy was never alone. His guardian was also born with him, hiding in his flesh from the eyes of ordinary human beings to not be exposed, waiting for the right time to show himself and protect the boy from harm. Once abandoned, he let himself out in the cave and cried to the sky to avenge him from those who left the boy to die. The gods never loved hatred, nor did they love revenge. He knew his cries wouldn't be accepted and that the gods weren't going to respond nor avenge the boy, but somehow the gods have responded. They promised the guardian that the boy will be avenged, that the gifts were to be taken and that the people who made him suffer will suffer even more.
He never knew the boy was going to suffer, or he would have attacked the human beings the moment the boy was born. He stood with pride by the boy, guarding him, and when the sky went absolutely dark, he went to hunt and fed the little boy. He was almost like a mother to the little boy, he never knew how he got that courage to stick by him and help him through the hardest stages of life and he still never knows.
Months later, the boy had grown up to walk steadily as an adult, and speak with more languages than any human beings could. His guardian was always there, teaching him the mythical language and the normal ones. Teaching him how to walk. By the time he was done, the boy could talk almost 7 languages.
However, the boy wanted to leave the cave so bad, he wanted to explore the wide world that his guardian has talked to him about. He wanted to meet his parents, his guardian couldn't explain to him that his parents were dead, that he was an orphan, he was far too young and couldn't handle such information.
With his insistence, he persuaded his guardian to go out of the cave, to go to the tribe and communicate with them. The guardian once again hid in the boy's flesh , As a beautiful painting on his back. One that was so strong and meaningful, one that made the whole tribe banish the boy and abandon him.
Once he arrived at the tribal area, the tribe stared at him, some in awe while others were staring in shock and looked like they were so frightened. However, they all had one thought in common; how did this little boy survive..
He began talking to them, shocking them even more than before. He talked and told him how he had survived, how he had a guardian that fed him and protected him and taught him. Their reaction. However, hurt him. They simply did the one thing that he never expected they would do, They laughed at him. Annoyed and angry, he asked the guardian to come out and show himself. He refused, saying they weren't ready to accept him and that the boy will once again be abandoned if he showed them his guardian.
