CHAPTER 1 THE BEAUTY OF WIFE
You're in a forest with all amazing sounds from birds, but your friends know
too well they're not birds, there dragons! All of them have a good amount of red in them,
yellow and then they have a colour no other dragon in this planet has,
however this is the only planet where dragons exist, and "LIKANTA LIPO NALA"
is this planet. There are 21 000 000 dragons in this small planet so you run in to them
quite alot. Dragons are not fire breathing terrors. They bring peace to villages, not destruction
and fear.
Most children of likanta lipo nala where given to the lipo nalians by the dragons if they lost
a woman in the house hold. Many children do not have particular parents, the village helps each
other and they all live in peace.
"Kala twamala" (the dragon of peace, if she died the planet would fade away in darkness) was
the queen's favourite dragon but you did not call the queen, queen you would call her "beauty"
or "love". The queen or the beauty was different to most likanta lipo
nalians, for she had the longest hair and the sweetest heart, she wasn't seen much during the day
but once a week at night all the likanta lipo nalians came together to talk with the beauty.
"We shall respect dragons and they shall respect us, but young lipo nalians have wreaked there peace,
this is our country to share and they were here first, respect young respect dragon" the beauty said loudly
in an old and intelligent way. "We come from water bellow, they come from sky, they old and wise, and we
young and stupid, we learn from dragon and we are understanding peace" the beauty cried again in a way
that didn't make sense but you knew what she was saying. Another thing about the beauty was that she
was 3 678 534 years old, the first lipo nalian born. . Women in likanta lipo nala usually live to 460 yrs old
and men 300 yrs old so the beauty has been through lots in her time.
Your brothers and you are going hunting for an amazing animal, "the Lisa". She is no ordinary women, she
is the prettiest women in the planet as you know it, the beauties granddaughter. In Likanta lipo nala if you catch
women (the fastest out of men and women) you can keep them. The men get all and the women and the wemon get the work and tell wisdom stories.
You brother "Zilaka" hisses to scare of any "booblecrocs" that will kill you with one glance. He is the oldest brother in your family and likes to make sure his family is safe. Your other brother "niconico" tapes his walawala sticks to make sure no mountain tigers or nanas are waiting nearby to have their early morning snack. The thing about nanas or mountain tigers is they only eat the skin of the bright orange lipo nalians. The skin of the lipo nalian is secret and magical, if you were wearing it you could speak the voices of nature, everyone has dark blue patterns on the orange skin each different and personal. You see "Lisa" and she is singing while picking gangas from the Ganga tree, for tonight is her mother's birthday and she wants her 400th birthday amazing. You step on some twigs and it makes a noise, she hisses but then sees your bright orange skin and she runs, you run to but your brothers stay behind. "She yours brother" Zilaka cheered. "Go for it brother" niconico shouts. You are beginning to accept the fact she is too fast and you won't catch up but she trips over one of the majestic vines from the Ganga tree and you fall on top. "You won me, i am yours, look after me and I will let you be knight of likanta lipo nala". She was a princess so she had the right to make you knight of the country. You rubbed cheeks to make it official, it was like a wedding.
