spending nights in the woods, supervised, to see how they fare in gathering essentials and defending themselves from potential dangerous creatures. They are also trained in combat, although the stress was put on self-defense rather in in harming others. The Omtars are a generally peaceful tribe.
Luxa commanded the watchmen to get the hidden weapons ready. They also started to gather food and stored them in the underground burrows, under the trees, where they would hide their little ones and those who cannot fight when danger comes. Luxa noticed Meeka being unusually silent.
“She is still on your mind, Meeka?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“As hard as it is for you, you must concentrate here on helping us prepare. We need everyone to work together in making our land as secure as possible.”
“I know that Luxa, I know. And do not worry; I am doing what is required of me. I just hope that the girl is all right. What if they haven’t fed her? She needs sustenance. And what if, when the time comes, she chooses the other side?”
“All we can do is hope, Meeka, and believe that the girl is capable of making the correct choice, the right decision. She is far from us now, we do not know where she is and there really is nothing we can do. You must keep her off your mind for now and concentrate on the task at hand.”
“Yes, Luxa.”
After helping Luxa supervise the preparations, Meeka climbed on top of the tree where him and Maria sat before she was taken. From here he can see far into the Kingdom; and it calms his naturally nervous demeanor. He wonders where the girl is. Meeka reminded himself that if Maria were indeed the girl in the prophecy then whoever took her would be keeping her alive. It was all about convincing her to choose a side when the time comes; and whichever one she chooses would be destined to win the war.
Meeka climbed back down to the ground. He went over the little shelter where Maria had spent the night previously. Her backpack was still there; he opened it and looked at the contents. There were items that he wasn’t familiar with, including a rectangular-sized metal gadget that he had seen her hold before. Doesn’t seem to do anything, he thought to himself. He put all the contents back in the backpack and closed it, returning it exactly where he found it.
Meeka went outside the little shelter . He walked over to the tree, which he calls his home. He took what looks like a small knife (although next to an Omtar, it looks like a sword,) and strapped it on his waist. He then grabbed the small cane that was hanging by the door and walked outside. Meeka knew that it would be impossible for him to run through the woods and find Maria. Whoever had taken her must be keeping her some distance away, and Omtars have legs that are much too small to cover a lot of ground in a small amount of time.
Fortunately for them, the trees in the woods of the kingdom are covered in vines, allowing the little twigs to swings from tree to tree and travel faster than their little legs could. Meeka prepared his mind, knowing that to find Maria he would have to be extremely cautious and he needs his mind to be extra sharp. He climbed the top of the next tree and held on a sturdy vine.
“ I’m coming for you,” he said out loud, as the little twig jumped off the tree and started to swing from vine to vine.
