About Myths and Animists

People as Nando - Clara's brother-in-law when he still was human -and her Indian friend Kiara had to be always together other animist to get cross the torsion of the Tree of Life. Clara has concluded that all those victims had been brought from some place near there 

She automatically started to help the injured people. The hospital inside Valley was crowned and when she was getting out of nursery, the girl heard a desperate crying. Clara looked beside her and saw a friend of her mother called Laura, held a tiny and death body of her daughter. The scene shocked Clara deeply. It was the first time they lost people in a battle in many years.  

The sorrow of that woman moved everyone. Clara knelt down and hugged her with compassion. They cried together and Clara recognized the little girl. She used to go to the Colonial House with her parents who worked over there. Probably the attack had been at headquarters. The animist girl remember when she was nine and Haram, Rico's father, invaded the White Room, the main room of the house, to send a message to elders-leaders. 

The clash seen by eyes of a little girl had been excited. She was just an innocent child who didn't know how dangerous your life would be in not too distant future. 

There, it seated side by side of someone that had witnessed the death of lover one, Clara one more time confirmed the fact of in a battle has no mercy. The animist girl got up and took the death little body in her arms and carried to a comfortable bed in the small but cozy children's ward. It would be necessary to bury her and the others victims with dignity. When Clara covered the little girl with the hospital sheet, she was sure that something had to be done to no one else go through this again.  

Anger filled up her heart. Because of her relationship with Rico she was much more absent from Valley's activities than she should be. But such thing didn't happen again. She had been choose to represent the most powerful animist by the nature forces and couldn't be so selfish and care just about herself and forget about her responsibilities.  

Maybe if she were over there, it could have avoid the little girl death and something else.  

She left the hospital and went on to the meeting room in the other side of Valley. Due to sad events probably the elders, including her father, it were over there to investigate the facts. When she opened the door there was a hard discussion between David and Lottero. 

Paul, Joshua, Cheh and Finn watched in silence. They stared at the girl a bit embarrassed and the discussion stopped. 

"Don't worried about me, please." Clara was firm and authoritarian because she had already noticed that she was the point of that discussion.  

Nobody said a word and she looked at her dad, but how he kept quiet she spoke "I know that I'm quite absent from my responsibilities here and I apologize for that."  

Clara felt extremely guilt due to be away when her people was attacked. Her voice was tremble when she spoke again "It is not going to happen anymore, I promise. I just want to let you know that it wasn't Rico who attacked us." 

She had a hard breathing and her eyes stung by efforts to avoid her tears to drop.  

Joshua hugged her and it was the first one to say something "Nobody here guilt you for nothing or the Curupira. We know that it wasn't him. There is another reason for this discussion."

Lottero asked them to take a seat and after all of them were settling, he started to explain to her "Clara, the Colonial House was attacked by Bradador. The same myth who injured you at the last clash. We were in many people and didn't handle it very well as you saw. Your father and I was discussing about...well, we want that you use the Curupira's affection for you to get some information about Bradador."
