Katala stared out onto the horizon. she still couldn`t see anyone coming back. mother said give it a few weeks. But she didnt have the heart to give up on them. She knew it was the way things were done but it still didnt make the pain of loosing your entire family any easier. They went off to fight and didn`t come back. i mean that is pretty standard right? she thought to herself as she kept staring. Why do i keep looking for them? why don`t i just give up and move on like everyone else does? WHY AM I SO ANGRY? she continued to think to herself. She let out a cry striking a tree with her sword with a loud Thwack sound coming from it. the small tree snapped in half ripping down a bunch of smaller foliage in its wake. She lost her parents and all of her 8 brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins. known she knew was left alive from the looks of it. they must have lost. Mother said head to krugmar if things didnt work out alright. Father promised that he would come back. I should have realized how uneasy mother was when they left. She looked at me like she knew she would never see me again. a single tear came down her cheek at the thought of it. Katala let out another fierce roar of anguish and hit another tree. this one much bigger but still it came crashing down ripping down all the smaller brush with it.
But why did it have to be this way? things were fine. She looked to the ground and collected herself. mother would smack me if she saw me cry. so i wont dishonor her by doing it now. Katala wiped her tears away and put her weapon back in the leather loop it sat in on her belt. she then looked around. the empty campsite behind her. she let all the animals go almost a week ago having taken only a few for herself. why waste what she couldnt even eat or care for by herself. so she took the few things she would need. and off she went. to find the city of Krugmar. to find out more about a war her family was called to fight in that apparently isnt over yet.
