Chapter 3: The children of the forest

I'm the youngest of my tribe my name is root

just like another child I'm a curious one I like to find new things in the swamp and just a week ago I see them wandering in the swamp

I name the outsiders little human for they look like old human but small.

I observed them for seven days and base on my observation they are looking for passage down south they are armed with weapons made of steel that to rare for the tribe far down south so I decide to report to the elders

.....…....

tell me young root why do you want to talk to as the elders

I found an outsider on the north side part of the swamp they carrying steel weapon I think they are trying to cross the swamp to go the south -------root

are they the first men : elder

You may go young one and make contact with the little human ask them what they want if we can help we going to help them

The next morning

I'm going to the north of the swamp to meet them

I'm nervous what if they attack me I don't know what gonna happen it was an order by the elders so I have no choice but to go.
