"All those old enough to ride their own horse, gather before me."
The moon tribe's leader, Taruk, called the tribe to a meeting.
"We will be attacking the Sun tribe tomorrow. The bst warriors will come along with me. We'll be leaving by sunset so we're at our strongest. Be ready by then, Karu, Selene, Sophaya, Acrillaya, and Calypso. Select few others may come if they want to. Meet me tonight when the moon is at it's highest point. That's all."
There were 4 tribes. Sun tribe, Death tribe, Earth tribe, and Moon tribe. All each follow a spirit. The Sun tribe follows the sun spirit, Opilia, the Death tribe follows the Death spirit, Morte, the Earth tribe follows the Earth Spirit, Kaje, and the Moon tribe- my tribe- follow the moon spirit, Tsuki. They all live under the rules of the Great Spirit.
The rules of the Great Spirit isn't much. It's just the spirits can't kill eachother. The tribes can go into war, but the spirits can't.
Every spirit cna choose to be for the Holy Cause, or the Corrupt Cause. The sun and Earth Spirit are for the Holy Cause. And you can guess, yeah. I'm the bad guy. Not that I want to be.
"Calypso!" A high, innocent voice said behind me.
"Selene? You're back from your hunting trip early!" I gave my freind a hug and stepped back to take a look at her face.
Everything looked the same. Curly, blonde hair that came down to her shoulders, Midnight blue eyes, full lips, execpt...
I gasped. "you're Kissed! Are you going to see the Spiritress about your destiny?"
She shrugged. "I don't think so. I want it to be a surprise."
The Spiritress was a female in the tribe that can talk with the other spirts. They heal and bless.
"Well, it's you're life. We'd better get some rest for tomorrow."

"Calypso, darling. You must go to an island far away from your home." A woman with black hair and shocking blue eyes spoke urgently to me.
"But who are you? I'm not likely to do a favor for a stranger."
"I am a lady sworn to darkness, yet brighter than any other. I am a lady that dands for sneakigns and surprise attacks. I am Tsuki, ruler of the night." The beautiful woman said. "But you mus tgo to the islan I have mentioned. You'll know where to go."
Tsuki kissed my cheek and ran into the forrest behind her.

"Ugh. Selene,
shut up about it! Just be quiet, we're close to the border." I wanted to scream at her, but that would only blow our cover.
It was invasion time. Taruk, Selene, four soldiers and I were coming from the west side of the Sun tribe's camp. Sophaya, Acrillaya, Karu, and six soldiers were going in from the east.
"But you were kissed! And you don't have a solid color, and-"
"Selene!" Taruk interrupted. I was slightly happy his voice cut hers off. "Hush up. We're close to the camp."
We walked in silence for several minutes before tress broke away into a clearing. There were nine shadowy figures at the other end of the camp.
The lookout hadn't seen any of us yet, and I felt bad about what we were about to do to him.
He was a tall, dark, sunkissed man. I could tell he was Kissed because his cheek glintered ever so slighly in the moonlight.
I could just make out the figure of Acrillaya as she snuck to the back of the man. She silently drew her knife, and swiftly putting him in a headlock with the knife to his throat....
A warning horn sounded in the distance. Taruk cursed, and people were arounsing quickly from their homes.
But I didn't want to kill anyone. Just one person, however.
"Calypso. Fancy meeting you here."
I turned. Of course. Naphalia. She was wearing a traditional Warriors of the sun uniform. In a battle stance ready to fight me, she smirked.
"Napahlia, I will kill you. Don't think I won't." I added as she advanced upon me.
She swung her knife at me throat. I ducked just in time and made a deep cut just abover her left knee. Naphalia cried out in pain, but that didn't stop her. I was still crouched when I saw Napahlia draw the knife up to swing down at my head. Swiftly, I slid to the back of her, digging my knife into her back- narrowly missing her heart. I drew her closer to me and whispered in her ear "You don't get it. Someday, when you grow up, you will."
I swung my blade out and kicked her to the ground. It was time to move on.
"What did you do to her!?" A deep voice sounded.
The man guarding the camp was standing there with a look of pure disbelief.
I pushed him out of the way. He was only a couple years older than me, and I had more important things to get to.
Inside the camp, Sophaya was holding off two people, one a woman who looked very hesitnt to wield a blade- probably the Spiritress.
Selene silently stalked in the darkness of the trees, drawing her bow, she shot a man in the shoulder. Good, we weren't here to kill.
Taruk was defending himself agains four Sun warriors (With the hlep of twon Moon Warriors, but he doesn't remember it that way).
Now, all I needed was a distraction to the two blocking my enterance to the Sun Tribe leader, Osylo.
"Selene! A se al Sol!" I shouted, speaking in our own language so the gaurdians wouldn't suspect anything.
She understood. She lit an arrow aflame and shot-hitting a tree on the other side. The man tore off in the direction the arrow came from, while his fellow stayed behind. She looked very similar to Napahlia.
I snuck around to behind her, knocked her to the ground, and dug my two spare knives into her arm sleeves, so she was pinned to the ground.
Finally, my mission was here. Capture Osylo.
I ran int othe cave den, to meet the Sun tribe leader, and his partner.
The leader's partner isn't usually anyone special. Just a woman of the Tribe- a
non-Kissed woman of the tribe. A kissed woman is forbidden to be married, or have children, for her duty belongs to serving the tribe during times of war, which is constantly happening.
Generally, when a girl is born, the Spiritess will call on the Spirit of the Tribe to see if she will be kissed or not. If she will, by the time she turns 8, she enters training to learn the ways of Tsuki, Opilia, Morte, or Kaje.
Unfortunetly, by the time I was five, Tsuki chose her path of darkness, so I'm a trained criminal.
A girl gets out of training by the time she's fourteen, that was a year ago for me, and I'm the best fighter this tribe could ask for. For a fifteen year old, I guess.
A fifteen year old about to take on a leader.
I moved the traditional tribe beads hanging from the top of the cave den out of my way, and took in a deep breath.
