Strangers of the Land
Chapter One: The Starting Line
"Flame you can't do this!" Cold-heart screamed Flame was a strong pure white snake with the blackest eyes anyone has ever seen he had a tint of red in his scales.
" I must do this for the clan, I have to do something for the clan " Flame cried.
"I won't just sit around and do nothing" said Flame with a sigh.
"If you go , I'm coming with you" Cold-heart huffed
"No, someone has to stay at the camp in case another Clan attacks" Flame commanded her
" I don't see why it has to be me. You always go off adventuring " Cold-heart yelled back
" Fine, I suppose I can wait to become a Fang" ( Fang is a warrior normally one and a half years old ) Flame grumbled "You are lucky you are a Heart , a medicine snake"
"You just need to be patient you will become a Fang don't worry, I know you don't have forever but, you'll live to be a fang and then we will cheer on Flame-Fang" Cold-heart cheered
" I suppose you are right " Flame said politely and slithered off. As he left he heard the elders ( over three years old ) yelling at the small fangs ( younger than one and half years old).
One year later. Flame got away with a lot of things because his father was the leader of the clan. The clan Flame was in was called by its founders, Rain-clan, The clan next to them was called Forest-clan , and there was Earth-clan. The three clans rarely had border disputes. The land was divided evenly. Every clan could catch what was on their own land. But once there was a great battle and heroes rose up to save every clan but these heroes were not of any clan nor any snake. Flame had seen them, they had wings and scales were very large and powerful they showed us our new territory. My favorite place was the changing snake, or the earth wound as a baby I would run off into the other clans like Earth-clan and would jump up and down on the earth wound I did it so much that I learned all of the clans name which made it hard when we had a battle or border despite.
I had much fun in my youth now that I had almost gotten rid of his Fang I was so much responsibility. I don't know how leaders can manage with the lives of the entire clan.
Any way I would be a warrior soon. Maybe I would take on a small-fang(apprentice) all of the old-scales(elders) would want to hear that story, the story of a young warriors apprentice who was I kidding I'm not even a warrior yet. The other warriors came back and Flame mentor (a warrior who has an apprentice ) called him. Flame had Bore-fang a legendary warrior and a great mentor, I have learned much from him. As I went over to him he said you we'll be hunting by yourself today, that's when it hit me I would be doing my test every warrior went through with it. Now I would be doing through with mine I was so nervous I was ready but my warrior name was depending on me. Ok I can do this I know I can of course I can't. Who did I think I was. It wasn't easy catching prey so I went up to bore-fang and asked if I could ask long-fang or her brother fang-less. Of course bore-fang understood, so he said take Fangless he is about due for his test. So off I went to ask fangless if he would hunt with me he was ecstatic he couldn't believe he would be tested by bore-fang, I chuckled.
As we slithered across the ground I saw a fat juicy mouse I told Fang-less to be silent and watch I found a huge some what triangular rock got it into a position where I could slither up fast, rocket off or at least that was the plan. I went so fast I flew, the mouse never saw it coming.
"Wow that was amazing ,did Bore-fang teach you that "asked Fang-less
" Ya I was trying to get the hang of it and I stopped thinking and just did it" Flame commented and as he did out of the shadows came Bore-fang right behind him was Shadow-stalker flames dad
