The Enfield watched the children play in the bare clearing underneath the warm sunlight. A young one, it had wandered too far from it's home, but couldn't care less. He had heard of the tribes living around these areas, though his mother warned him and his littermates not to go to them, as they were wicked and cruel things, often killing beasts for food.
Yet, As the young Enfield watch, he could see nothing cruel about the children. A boy and a girl, a little younger then 60 moons in age, chasing each other in the clearing, laughing and hollering in joy. They smelled similar, littermates the Enfield thought. There was no one to watch them, they must of wandered too far from home.
The Enfield thought hard about where the tribes were. There were five he believed. A tribe of each of the surrounding regions. By the looks of the kids, they looked like they belonged to the savanna tribe, with their sunburned skin and peeling flesh. The savanna tribe lived out in the open plains, hunting normal creatures such as lions, gazelles and such. They possessed fire magic, though not everyone in the tribes was gifted with magic. The other regions were the tundra region, home to another tribe and Ice magic, then the mountains, sky magic and finally the brook, where river magic was gifted.
He hadn't heard much as the 5th region, but never bothered to ask about it. He only heard they were called the Ash or Ember region, possessing some kind of magic related to their title. For the longest time he could remember, the tribes had been there. He was snapped out of his thoughts by a suddenly noise, a rustle of a intruder coming through the lefts. He crouched down in the bush he was in, watching for whatever threat it might be. Another human walked into the clearing, the children immediately stopped there games and rushed over to the adult human. The human looked just like them, and spoke words of the human tongue to them. He then turned to leave and the two children followed, swiftly moving through the bushes surrounding the clearing, and following the adult human to someone else.
The Enfield jumped up, and used it wings to fly into one of the few trees there, and lazily watched as the kids walked away. As they wandered into the distance, one of the kid's heads turned around. The Enfield thought he saw a faint glow of power in his eye, but he couldn't be sure, as the child turned away from him quickly.
"The time is arriving soon"
He thought with no particular reason to himself, he let his wings fold out and took off flying, ready to tell the others the chosen one was here at last.
