Big bugs could see the flashes from the sacred fire, Gliding its way into his home finding his eyes. Big bugs sat there momentarily gathering himself. He rubbed his forehead and eyes Then looked over to his side to put on his Bear tooth necklace gifted to him by his grandfather. Remembering the time when he was still alive. Big bugs stood up and gathered his hide coverings. Putting on his hide leggings first and then his breechcloth, Then bugs Threw over his hide tunic which had some blood paint covering the arms and sides of the tunic. Big bugs looked around his Tipi in the dark, till he found the large buffalo stomach skin, he has been using to gather his water in. stringing it around his shoulder and picking up his obsidian lance. Big bugs turned and slipped on his moccasins then walked out the Tipi Door. He closed his Tipi Door behind him and walked along the massive sacred fire. Big bugs could see the chief talking to the head shaman with warriors all gathered to hear what he was going to say. Big bugs listened in. Standing among the warriors they all listened to the chief. ¡°My brothers, we must gather as much wood as we can, it must last while we travel. It has been 4 days since we have seen the sun and the Stars don''t come out . The plants are starting to lose strength. We must move away from here.¡± The warriors that were standing in the crowd agreed and went their separate ways to gather what was needed for the trip. Big bugs was caught in a gaze looking at the flashes from the fire. Thinking about the last time they moved camp, which was two years ago and his Grandfather was still alive. Big bugs got up and walked down to the fire and picked up a large torch. Which was a large branch with spruce gum and long dry grass. Big bugs put the end of the torch in the flames.

Passing along by hundreds of people working together to pack up the camp of Tipis. Big bugs walked through the spruce tree forest. Finding the path to the river. Big bugs heard the waters rushing as he approached the rivers bank. He placed his torch in the ground and brought out the water skin, placing it into the river. Once it was full he took a Drink from it. Tying it off and placing it beside him. Big bugs washed his face and washed his long black hair. Looking around the Forest dwelling that surrounded the river, ¡°nice some mint.¡± Big bugs pulled some tea leaves from the river''s edge giving it a smell. ¡°Woah, very potent.¡± So he gathered another plant worth. Bundled in his hands were the two mint plants. Standing there he heard a whisper. ¡°Hey you, messy hair.¡± Big bugs looked around. But He didn''t see anyone. ¡°Are you all leaving the forest?¡± Big bugs watched a small rabbit hop out from the darkness of a tree and underneath the torch light so Big bugs could see him. He was a large brown rabbit with a black nose and brown eyes. ¡°Umm are you talking to me?¡± ¡°Yes I am, and I asked, are you leaving?¡± ¡°We are leaving, yes, the people want to find the land of the sun.¡± ¡° I know how to call back the Sun.¡± The rabbit scratched his ear with his fluffy right foot. ¡°Please tell me what you know?¡± Big bugs sat down beside the rabbit. ¡°A Lot of the animals have been trying to figure out how to bring back the sun, I have found a way but you must stay and help me.¡± ¡°Ok I agree to stay behind to help you bring back the sun, should I ask for help?¡± ¡°Please bring all the warriors you can, I will meet you here in four days.¡± The large brown rabbit ran off into the darkness of the trees. The Native man Big bugs sat there thinking to himself how he was going to tell the rest of the village this news. Standing back up he walked back with the torch and tea and the water skin hanging over his back. Walking through the dark pine tree forest. Feeling the ground under his moccasins. Stepping over a sharp rock, that punctured a hole in his right moccasin. ¡°Ow, that hurt.¡± He lifted his foot near the light to see the small hole with blood coming out. Big bugs looked to the ground and saw the sharp object on the ground. Picking it up, the object was no rock. It was cold and in the shape of a mountain. Big bugs put it in his hand with the tea and limped on the rest of the path back home. End of chapter 001 Dark forest Written by Travis Willier Copyright 2022 Chapter 002 Getting back to the Camp which was almost all packed up except his Tipi. There was a gathering around his tipi. Different men and women were gathering to help Big Bugs take down his Tipi. Big bugs waved everyone down.everyone watched him limp up to the Tipi. ¡°Thank You all for your kindness but I will be staying behind.¡± The group Gasped. ¡°Kuh, what for?¡± one of the Braves Said aloud. ¡°I was In the forest gathering water by the river and a Rabbit asked me to stay behind with some warriors to help bring back the sun he said he knows away.¡± Everyone laughed. ¡° Quiet, what''s going on here?¡± The chief walked up and asked. ¡°Big Bugs Said he was out getting water when a rabbit stepped out and asked him to help him bring back the sun.¡± ¡°Is this True Big Bugs?¡± ¡°Yes, it is Resting elk.¡± ¡°Very well, Seeing you were first to laugh, you will be staying behind to help Big bugs.¡± The chief tapped Stone Bear on the shoulder. He was shocked but he knew what he had to do. ¡°Prayers to these two who will venture for our clan to bring back the light.¡± People gathered around and some had hand drums and others sang along. The Drummers started to play and sing them prayers. ¡°May the great spirit watch over them and guide them to bring the light back to us.¡± And when the song ended. They finished packing the last of the stuff.. Stone bear hugged his wife and child. Big bugs watched as his child cry when the mom had to pull him along. Stone bear turned and walked up to Big bugs and Pushed him. ¡°What! Woah settle down.¡± ¡°Look what you got us into.¡± ¡°What I got us into, I was going to do alone anyway.¡± ¡°yeah¡­yeah where do we go now?¡± ¡°Let me grab a few things then we can go.¡± Walking into his Tipi Big bugs Grabbed some sinew, flint rocks and His stone tomahawk. Then he Grabbed his blanket and walked out of the Tipi. ¡°We gotta go to this spot in the forest near the river. Follow me.¡± Stone bear stood there grunted then started following Big bugs out into the forest. They walked with their lance¡¯s and torches. ¡°Why would you listen to the Rabbit?¡± ¡° I don¡¯t know.¡± They continued to walk through the dark pines Eventually reaching the area. Big bugs placed his blanket on the side and started to dig out a small fire pit with his tomahawk. You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. Stone bear grabbed a seat on the ground near a spruce and folded his arms around his chest and waited. Big bugs pulled out some of the roots from the fire hole. ¡°There should be enough space now.¡± Big bugs Stood up and walked with his tomahawk, finding some old fallen diamond popular. Chopping into it he swung and swung till he chopped enough wood apart. Gathering his find he walked back. Dropping some of the wood beside the hole. Kneeling down to pick out the smallest chipped pieces of wood. Big bugs sat beside the fire pit and placed the small pieces of wood into the pit.Then he picked out some old dry grass. And balled it on top of the small bits of wood. Then he built a small wood structure around it with the chopped pieces. Big bugs Then put the torch head in the fire and started it up. The area lit up nicely. They could see the trees and surrounding area. Big bugs got up and walked to some small pines and chopped them making them into a small fire tripod. Using the sinew he tied the top together. Next he pulled the mint leaves and tied them to a tree to hang, taking some of the leaves he put them in his water bag and hung it over the fire. The water boiled and the tea brewed inside of the buffalo stomach hanging over the fire. Big bugs sat there waiting patiently. ¡°So how long are we waiting here, or you gonna tell me that you were making it up.¡± ¡°Four days.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Four days, who said the rabbit?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°How will he ever know how long four days is?¡± ¡°I think it was a Trickster playing you.¡± ¡°If you want to leave, then fine with me.¡± ¡°No, I gotta stay, learn my lesson, or see if I was right to laugh at a fool.¡± ¡° You won''t think of me as a fool, when the rabbit returns.¡± Big bugs stared at the tea at full boil. Taking it off the fire, hanging it on a tree branch beside him. ¡°Gotta let that cool down a little.¡± Big bugs said to himself. Stone bear watched big bugs sit and wait for the rabbit. Thinking back to the time before the darkness, He was a young boy who roamed this forest hunted the wild game which lived free and were so numerous, He couldn¡¯t walk more than hundred steps before seeing a massive moose roaming by. Now he sees only darkness. ¡°Why do you think the rabbit could do the things he says?¡± ¡°Well for one he was the only animal to walk up and speak to me.¡± ¡°And so?¡± ¡°And so now I''m gonna help him.¡± ¡°You want some tea?¡± ¡°No.¡± Big bugs poured himself a nice tea in a birch bark basket and hung the rest up in the tree. The gut bag of tea swung back and forth. Big bugs sat there sipping his tea. The hours passed and they continued to wait. After sometime Big bugs fell asleep. Stone bear looked out at Big bugs asleep. The fire went out and he laid back and fell asleep too. They both woke up to the sounds of a huge moose running by. Stone bear got up and threw his lance, missing the huge moose by an inch. Stone bear got up and ran for his lance stuck in the ground. Big bugs watched Stone bear run into the darkness after gathering his spear from the soil. Big bugs sat there waiting. Hours went by and Stone bear didn''t come back. Big bugs then started to build a fire. Using the little coals from the last fire. Big bugs split some wood with his tomahawk. The fire was easy to build but he didn''t have anything to cook on it. Stone bear came walking back with his lance. ¡°I couldn''t find this place for hours.¡± ¡°I just made the fire.¡± big bugs sat there looking at stone bear. ¡°What is wrong with you?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°I Got up and chased after the moose.¡± ¡°WE would have lost our place.¡± ¡°I Made it back.¡± ¡°Yeah cause I made a fire.¡± ¡°Pffft.¡± Stone bear waved his hands in disgust and walked over to his area and sat down. ¡°I was so upset, you know.¡± ¡°You were? Why?¡± ¡°You know why, cause I''m out here stuck in this forest while my wife and child are walking carrying the only life I knew, somewhere I don''t know.¡± ¡°Yeah, you didn''t have to stay.¡± ¡°I wanted to walk back here and put my lance through you and leave.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I don''t know, maybe I still will.¡± Stone bear narrowed his vision. They both sat across from each other, the fire lighting up the small forested area around them. ¡° I''m sorry..¡± Big bugs spoke after a while of silence. ¡°Why are you saying sorry now?¡± ¡°Cause I feel bad now.¡± ¡°Well still not helping.¡± ¡°Look, I''m sorry for the whole rabbit thing, I made it up, and i should have hunted down the moose with you.¡± ¡°Great! I Knew IT!¡± Stone bear got up. ¡°Let''s get the hell out of here and go back.¡± Big bugs sat there with his head down. ¡° I can¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Why not?¡± ¡°Cause, If i lied then I would walk in shame for the rest of my days.¡± ¡°But you did, now let''s go.¡± ¡°No, at least if I don''t go back they will think of me as a hero who died trying to bring the sun back!¡± ¡°We''re going back even if I have to beat your ass up and drag you back all the way with me.¡± End of Chapter 002 Dark forest written by Travis Willier Copyright 2022 Chapter 003 Stone bear walked up to Big bugs cracking his knuckles. ¡° I¡¯m going to beat you half to death, and I''m going to enjoy every second of beating you to near death, you''re a Liar, deceiver, Traitor to our village and chief.¡± Big bugs stood up and awaited the incoming Stone bear. ¡°But I wasn¡¯t lying, I was just saying that so you would leave!¡± Big bugs held up his fists. ¡°It¡¯s too late now to convince me otherwise.¡± Stone bear launched a quick jab into the face of big bugs splitting his lip. Big bugs continued to try to block the incoming hits but most of them made their way through punching his teeth out with strong fisted uppercuts. Big bugs fell to his knees taking too many punches. Big bugs realized that if he didn''t fight back, Stone bear was gonna kill him. Big bugs launched a huge overhand to Stone bear''s face which pressured him to move back. ¡°Quit, I wasn¡¯t lying I just didn''t want you here anymore.¡± Big bugs wiped his face and touched his lip. Blood all over his hands glistened in the fires light. ¡° I don¡¯t want to fight you.¡± Big bugs held up his hand. Stone bear walked over to his lance and picked it up. Without a word Stone bear walked towards Big bugs with his lance. ¡°STOP!¡± a young boys voice called out. ¡°River boy is that you?¡± Stone bear stopped and looked around. Then the young man in hides walked out his two long braids reaching his hips. His braids were tied with small blood painted hides.

I also found these.¡± Young river boy pulled some old bones out from his hide wrapping. ¡°We could make some marrow soup.¡± Big bugs handed the young river boy the hanging gut bag. Young river boy took the bag and placed the bones inside and hung it over the fire. Stone bear sat there still angry. ¡°I¡¯m not pleased with this.¡± Stone bear said out loud. ¡°What are you still mad about?¡± Young river boy asked Stone bear. ¡°Why are we still entertaining this liar?¡± Stone bear pointed at Big bugs. ¡°He wasn''t, he was saying that to get rid of you.¡± ¡°But he said he lied.¡± ¡°Yeah I said that so you wouldn''t feel bad leaving me here.¡± Big bugs scratched his head. ¡°Yeah you keep saying that, Lets go Young river it¡¯s time to leave behind this liar.¡± ¡°You can go on then.¡± young river boy continued to sit there with big bugs. ¡°No way I''m leaving my sister''s son here in the forest with a liar.¡± ¡°Well I''m not going anywhere with one either.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Stone bear was now confused. ¡°If you would have killed him and went back, say if I didn''t stop you, you would have returned back to the tribe lying about what you have done here.¡± young river boy looked stone bear in the face. ¡°That''s not true.¡± ¡°Well what would you have done, after you killed big bugs?¡± Stone bear looked down and unclenched his fist. Then he walked to the spruce tree he was sitting by earlier and sat back down. After some hours sitting together in silence. Young river boy checked the bones, giving them a stir. ¡°How¡¯s it looking?¡± Big bugs asked. With his arms wrapped around his stomach. ¡°Coming along.¡± ¡°Smells good.¡± Big bugs sat up and warmed himself by the fire. ¡°Why do you think the rabbit asked us to stay?¡± ¡°He said he has a way to make the sun come back.¡± big bugs said to young river boy. Stone bear sat there looking at the berries in his hand. ¡°You gonna eat those?¡± young river asked. ¡°No you can have them, I''m going to hunt for real food.¡± Stone bear stood up with his lance in hand and handed the berries back to Young river. ¡°You want me to come along?¡± Young river boy asked. ¡°No, I''m going to go alone.¡± Stone bear then continued to walk into the darkness of the spruce trees. End of chapter 003 Dark forest written by Travis Willier copyright 2022 Chapter 004 After the small meal of bone marrow soup. Big bugs and Young river fell asleep. Hours passed, the fire was out, there was a strange wind in the air which moved the trees tops around them. Big bugs loved the sound of the heavy wind through the trees. Some trees cracked and fell in the forest. Young River sat up when a huge tree snapped and the loud sound of the tree falling and hitting others before it went down startled him. ¡°Once I was woken up like this when I was young out hunting with my grandfather.¡± ¡°Were you scared too?¡± ¡°Oh yes, especially when they started to move.¡± ¡°They move?¡± ¡°The trees, oh yes, they know all about us.¡± ¡°They also gave a part of themselves to make us.¡± ¡°They did, I didn''t know that.¡± ¡°The great spirit when we were being made asked the spirits of the trees and plants if they wanted to give up part of themselves to help create us.¡± Young river looked up at the tree tops swaying in the wind listening to the words of Big bugs. ¡°The white aspen popular was the first to speak after the earth soil. Saying, if soil gets to be the body then I want to give myself for their bones.¡± Young river smiled looking at his hands. ¡°See your bones in your body are white like the popular trees when they are skinned.¡± ¡°That''s so cool.¡± Young river boy sat listening to Big bugs. ¡°The berries you brought also gave part of themselves to.¡± ¡°Yes the raspberries gave the shape of our heart that''s why they are considered a heart medicine, cause the shape of the berry is the shape of our heart¡¯s.¡± Big bugs placed a hand on his chest. ¡°All this talk of berries I know where there is more.¡± Young river stood up. ¡° I will go get more, maybe by then Stone bear will be back.¡± This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°I will stay here and wait for the brown rabbit to return and make the fire again.¡± ¡°Sounds good, I will be back shortly.¡± Big bugs stood up and stretched out his back and legs. The winds started to calm down. And he walked through the silent woods. Finding small branches from the winds that broke or shaken them from the top of the trees. The forest smelled fresh and the ground was covered in pine cones. Big bugs noticed a squirrel picking up cones that didn''t notice him. He placed down the branches real slowly standing back up raising his lance into the darkness. Bringing it down on top of the Squirrels head. It made an audible squeak and fell unconscious. Big bugs smiled and tied the squirrel''s legs and hung it from his side. Walking back and picking up his sticks he walked with the squirrel to the fire pit. Big bugs un tied the unconscious squirrel. And laid it beside the fire pit. He began to cut down the branches he gathered. Big bugs made a small fire with the branches in the pit. Sitting beside the squirrel,which started to wiggle and twitch its legs. Big bugs picked up the small squirrel. ¡°Owwwww!.¡± the squirrel cried out. ¡°Oh sorry I didn''t think you were still alive.¡± ¡°My legs you broke them, how will I ever save my family now.¡± the squirrel cried. ¡°Your family needs to be saved?¡± ¡°Yes they were taken. I was tryna find the brown rabbit to help me.¡± Big bugs stared at the squirrel in his hands speaking to him. ¡°You know the brown rabbit too.¡± ¡°Yes he helps the forest dwellers, he said he would help me find my family when he returned.¡± ¡° I was going to eat you.¡± ¡°Oh please don¡¯t, I will bless you if you help me.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t plan on eating you anymore, now that you''re talking to me and know of the brown rabbit.¡± Big bugs stood up with the squirrel and walked over to some moss growing beside them and the trees. He ripped some out and walked back placing it into the birch bucket then the squirrel. ¡°Thankyou kind man, for your caring and understanding.¡± Big bugs sat beside the squirrel. ¡°Well it''s not everyday I have a talking squirrel speaking to me.¡± ¡°These are strange times, I miss the sun and the birds.¡± ¡°Now that you mentioned it, I haven''t heard a bird sing in quite some time.¡± ¡°They left with the sun.¡± ¡°What happened to your family?¡± ¡° We were all gathered. The squirrel and Rabbit clans were deciding what to do about the sun leaving, some suggested we return to the inner earth, others like myself wanted to wait to see if the sun returned.¡± ¡°Hey im back!¡± Young river boy walked up with some caught fish and berries. ¡°Look what I have.¡± proud of his catch he showed big bugs the fish. ¡°That¡¯s a great catch,look what I have found.¡± Young river boy looked at the squirrel in the birch basket and looked at Big bugs sitting beside it. ¡° What''s going on here?¡± ¡°He was planning to eat me until I started speaking.¡± The squirrel spoke to the young river boy. ¡°Woah he could speak.¡± intrigued the young river boy lowered himself to listen to the squirrel. ¡°As we all decided, some left to the Inner earth while the rest of us stayed on top.¡± ¡°Woah there is an inner earth?¡± The young river boy asked. ¡°Yes it''s where the first people of earth lived, before we came to the upper world.¡± The squirrel explained. ¡°What did the first people look like?¡± young river boy asked. ¡°They are as tall as the trees and make beautiful buildings.¡± The squirrel explained. ¡°The Giants? We hunted them all a long time ago.¡± Big bugs mentioned to the squirrel. ¡°Not those blood thirsty cannibals, these Giants are intelligent.¡± the squirrel squeaked on. ¡°These giants have a beautiful city of Crystal, that shines beautifully like the sun used to.¡± The squirrel''s eyes stared out into the distance of the darkness. Big bugs and Young river stared behind them into the forest''s darkness. Where the squirrel''s eyes couldn''t leave. End of chapter 004 Dark forest written by Travis Willier copyright 2022 Chapter 005 Big bugs stared at the darkness. Reaching for his lance, the Young River boy held up his knife. Big bugs passed him another weapon incase. Picking up the tomahawk instead. ¡°Who¡¯s out there?¡± Big bugs said out loud to nothing. Still not seeing anything but the darkness and the little bush area the fire gave light too. Then they heard a loud breathing. ¡°Stone bear is that you?¡± ¡°Noooo it¡¯s not Stone bear.¡± The squirrel narrowed his vision. ¡°IT¡¯s brother bigman.¡± the Squirrel calmed down. ¡°Big man?¡± Big bugs looked wondered to himself. Remembering a story his grandfather told him of being lost in the woods and a big hairy man helped him find his way home. ¡°Mistanaphew.¡± Big bugs said out loud. ¡°Hey don¡¯t harm us, put away your weapons.¡± The brown rabbit stepped out. ¡°I have brought words from the great eagle and a friend who''s gonna help us.¡± The rabbit ranout and stood on his legs. ¡°Ahh what happened to my sister squirrel?¡± ¡°They were gonna eat me, but I talked to them.¡± ¡°Good thing you did.¡± The brown rabbit said to the squirrel. Then the brown rabbit transformed into a tall muscular man with long, loose hair wearing a rabbit ear necklace and a cloth hide around his waist. ¡°Wasakichuk?¡± Big bugs asked the tall muscular man. Who nodded then mentioned ¡°this is my friend Big man.¡± Wasakichuk waved at the forest, and a large Hairy man stepped out with a huge muddy foot. The large hairy man lifted up his leg then picked at his foot and took some of the mud off and held out his hand towards the squirrel. ¡°Can you pass me over to him¡± The squirrel asked Big Bugs. The big hairy man started to place the mud all over the squirrel and then he covered her with his hands and began to blow inside his palms, where the mud covered squirrel was laying. Light began to glow inside of his palms. The large hairy man opened his large hands and the mud covered squirrel was healed. The squirrel jumped off and transformed into a muscular woman. With large furs covering her breasts and waist, her hair was done in two braids and was also muddy. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. ¡°Hi my name is Squirrel woman.¡± ¡°What words do you bring from the great eagle?¡± Squirrel woman asked. ¡°He¡¯s flown to the highest point beyond the darkness, He saw the Sun hiding behind a Large Bowl.¡± Wasakichuk continued. ¡°The sun never left, there is something constantly staying in front of it according to the great eagle..¡± Wasakichuk folded his arms across his chest. ¡°It''s a lot colder out here.¡± Wasakichuk then began to rub his hands together. ¡°What''s blocking the Sun? Did the great eaglesay?¡± Big bugs asked. ¡°Yes What he described was a huge bowl floating above turtle island.¡± Wasakichuk smiled. The squirrel woman covered her mouth in disbelief looking at Big bugs and Young river Stare into the sky. ¡°You watching us come out!¡± Wasakichuk called out to the forest. Turning around staring into the darkness of the pines. ¡°Big bugs, I owe you an apology for calling you a liar.¡± ¡°Stone bear?¡± Big bugs looked to the where the voice was coming from. Stone bear walked into the light. ¡°I heard what you were saying I watched the lady Transform. ¡°Are you here to help?¡± Wasakichuk asked. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ yes I''m here to help.¡± Stone bear stood straight. ¡°You were watching us, where were you this whole time?¡± Big bugs questioned the guilty looking Stone bear. ¡°I honestly just got here when I heard all the new voices, I was hunting.¡± Stone bear looked Big Bugs in the eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for everything.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright I get it.¡± Stone bear looked at Wasakichuk and the squirrel woman who was the most beautiful woman he ever saw. ¡°What are we going to do next Wasakichuk?¡± Young river asked. ¡°We Shall ask our friend here to give us a ride to the bowl.¡± Wasakichuk then walked up to mistnaphew and started to speak with him in ancient forest tongue. The big hairy man listened and spoke after some time. Wasakichuk interpreted what he was saying to them. ¡°He is saying that he will help us if it brings back the sun to the forest.¡± The group smiled and rejoiced and watched as the large hairy man began to create a large sphere of white energy they all walked into and the hairy man then started to float them above the trees. Big bugs starred out the clear translucent walls at the tree tops that stretched out far beyond into the darkness. Until it was only the darkness around them, then Wasakichuk pointed. ¡°There he is, he will lead us, follow him, mistanaphew.¡± The Great eagle then glowed a bright golden yellow to be seen in the darkness. Big bugs and the others were in a state of amazement. The orb started to fly faster with the Great eagle and together they crossed the darkness. The great eagle then flapped his wings and ascended upwards, That''s when Big bugs noticed the Stars lights were above them. A tear rolled down his face. Big bug''s eyes grew wide as the sphere of lights reached above the bowl and he could see the lights like stars on the mountains of the bowl. ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡± Big bugs said Stone bear was silent. ¡°It¡¯s like the stars fell in different colors all over those mountains.¡± Young River smiled. The great eagle flew lower and the sphere followed as they flew in between the mountains of star light. The colors reflected from the mountains on to them as they passed along side them. Big bugs looked at his body and arms in all the strange colors he never saw before. The great eagle flew into the mountain''s main light opening and the sphere landed as the eagle flipped and landed. Big bugs, Stone bear, and young river, walked out of the sphere of light after Wasakichuk and Squirrel woman. Big bugs was astonished at the sight of the shiny silver stone flooring. Mistanaphew walked beside the great eagle. ¡°Wasakichuk have you ever seen a place like this?¡± Young River asked. ¡°Yes of course I have.¡± ¡°Really?¡± the excited Young river questioned. ¡°In visions, but no need to worry the beings that live here should be here any second now.¡± ¡°Your saying beings live here in these mountains on the bowl?¡± Young Rivers eyes opened wide and stared around at the large vast shiny room they were in. ¡°They made this place.¡± Young River said out loud to himself. ¡°Hey What are you guys looking at?¡± Young river turned and saw a group of four blue clothed figures. The cloth covered over their heads and their body and did not reveal their faces. Or their hands. End of chapter 005 Dark forest written by Travis Willier Copyright 2022 Chapter 006 Big bugs waited silently as the groups stood across one another in the rather large silver reflective room. The row of robed figures stood silent and still. Then one of them took one step forward and lifted off the hood that was covering their identity. The being revealed a large round blue head, with large round black eyes, with a tiny slit in the mouth. The being spoke into the minds of Big bugs and his companions. ¡°We have come from far in the stars, you have quite a magical planet with many different beings across the surface, very different from our home world.¡± Big bugs looked at Wasakichuk who had his arms crossed examining the beings and their surroundings. ¡°We have come to your home world in hopes to become a part of it and help your world civilization¡¯s grow and prosper.¡± ¡°What do you call this place?¡± Big bugs asked out loud. Then another being stepped forward and took off the hood to their robe revealing a very human looking man with long black hair but his skin was blue with white tattoos. He spoke out loud in their native tongue. ¡°This place is our city in the sky, for years we have learned about your planet, watching from afar, our kind has fought many battles to keep your life safe on this planet.¡± The blue man continued. ¡°Your planet is a special planet with a high vibration frequency akin to our¡¯s, allowing for very high vibrational beings of all different shapes to take form in the universe.¡± ¡°okaw?mawaskiy.¡± Wasakichuk said through all their minds. ¡°Yes, a mother planet indeed.¡± The blue being did a slight nod and continued. Here is a Cube that will show you of our battles in our part of the stars. Big bugs watched as the being pulled a shiny strangely cut rock out from his robe and let it float into the air. The shiny rock began to float and turn around while lights started to shine from it. Big bugs was astounded at the sight of the lights as they began to take form as people and places, strange colors just like the lights on the mountains entering in. The places being shown were beautiful and magical as Big bugs watched them using fire to kill large silver dragons flying in the stars, beautiful bright differently coloured haired women in strange clothing fighting snake people with large fire knifes. Then the lights showed him the bowl they were on in front of a large greenish blue floating rock in the stars. This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval.

The light started to show all the different places across the planet. The different mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, The islands and trees, the many different animals. A single tear rolled down the bigfoot''s cheek and hit the eagle''s wing which he flicked off. The Great eagle stepped forward to speak. ¡°I¡¯m not impressed you showed me all that I have seen here on the surface, battles, heroes villains, one thing I did notice was your strange belief in the cosmos and your relation to reincarnation, also like my home, your home here in the stars, is just as alive as you and me.¡± ¡°You seem concerned about our presence, Great eagle.¡± The tall blue man with long black hair spoke. ¡°I AM, Like your little box I have great vision that allows me to see great distances. I''ve been observing you and all your past triumphs and failures.¡± The eagle then used his frequency to tap into the minds of all the individuals in the large room. Big bugs saw the vision The great eagle was giving them all. Big bugs saw large bowls using fire balls and throwing them at one another. Then some of the large bowls bursted into large flames which scared him and his heart started to race. He saw battles of different other people on a different planet''s surface. They looked similar to him except they had strange hands and feet. They were dying so much suffering and screaming and then the planet''s surface was scorched in fire. Big bugs saw from eagle''s vision on the planet exploding. And a large moon was throwing fire on to other planets and flying Bowl¡¯s trying to escape. Big bugs screamed and fell to the ground as did all the being¡¯s in the room, except The bigfoot, Great eagle and the blue black eyed being. ¡°Your plans concern me for all I see is death and the enslavement of the beings here and the planet.¡± The large blue black eyed being moved his lips in disapproval then began to mind speak. ¡°These events have transpired in time, worlds we have lost together across the galaxy we fight these serpent¡¯s and their technology, they only want one thing to consume all they come across. If these serpent beings come here to your home world they will do to it the horrors you have witnessed.¡± The great eagle listened to the blue being. ¡°We have come to make peace with your kind to help advance you before they come.¡± ¡°Will the sun return to the land?¡± Young river boy asked. ¡°Yes the sun will return, Once we have made peace with all the guardians of the lands of the planet.¡± ¡°How do you plan to do that?¡± Stone bear asked. ¡°WE ARE SENDING A GREAT VISION TO ALL ACROSS THE PLANET.¡± The large blue black eyed being spoke with his hands into the air towards the ceiling. ¡°Come with us, Great eagle, we will need your assistance, along with your large hairy friend.¡± The Great eagle didnt move, and his silence filled the room. After a short while he spoke. ¡°Your Presence is not welcome, you have only disrupted our existence with your presence, now the Serpent being¡¯s will know of us in the cosmos, you will only bring evil into our world. We want nothing to do with your battles Nor will we build your cities, we live in peace with our world, we are not looking to destroy it.¡± The Great Eagle flicked his wings after he mind spoke. ¡°We spoke with the other guardians of this planet and they seem to agree with our terms.¡± The blue black eyed being spoke. ¡°You mean to stand there and tell me you spoke with the whale and dragon.¡± ¡°Yes, They seem to want us to stay and help the beings of this planet. They see it as quite beneficial.¡± ¡°Greed, War, Fear, Hate, Sure they agree to those, anything to kill off the land beings the water have no concern for what goes on the land, and the dragon is just as chaotic as the water dwellers, raising mountains of fire for fun, of course they would agree they have no bounds, no Respect, you have no agreement from us, you must leave this planet, all I see.¡± ¡°Go ahead, Great eagle, say what''s in your vision.¡± The blue black eyed being Interrupted. ¡°If you choose to stay here Sure there will be Great change, positive at first, but this Change will be the death of all your kind, There will be nothing the Dragon or the Whale can do to save you.¡± Then the Great eagle flapped his wings. ¡°Come on now my warriors, we leave. If you choose to stay, that is your choice.¡± Bigfoot started to create a light orb and the others all walked inside of the orb. End of Chapter 006 The Dark forest written by Travis willier copyright 2022 chapter 007 Big bugs entered into the orb and watched the robed beings gather in a circle beginning to chat. Stone bear was concerned for the squirrel woman who was holding her stomach and cringing. ¡°Squirrel woman is everything ok?¡± ¡°No the okaw?mawaskiy timelines are changing, portals are opening.¡± ¡°We should be fine as long as we don¡¯t get involved in their wars right?¡± Stone bear asked. While He tried to hold up Squirrel woman. Lifting her with an arm around her waist. No one said a word. As the orb floated out over the beautiful lights and along its weird shaped mountains that were just as shiny as the ground they were standing on with the beings. This beautiful sight was the most amazing thing Big bugs had ever seen. ¡°Big bugs, you saw those huge things shooting fire arrows at each other right?¡± Stone bear asked while he shook Big bugs¡¯ shoulder. ¡°Yes, the vision was very frightening.¡± Big bugs said and pushed his hand off. ¡°I Almost can¡¯t believe what I saw or what I''m seeing.¡± Young river spoke. Rubbing his eyes from the bright colorful lights.¡± ¡°Where are we going now mistanaphew?¡± Wasakichuk asked. Big Foot pointed at the Glowing yellow light in the distance of the stars. ¡°Ok, just wanted to know, thank you by the way for taking us along with you.¡± Wasakichuk turned. ¡°Woah that was intense back there, didn''t know if i was going to turn into a bear or a lynx not sure, ohh maybe a buffalo go charging in naaaaw hahaha, anyway happy it didn¡¯t come down to that back there.¡± ¡°Wasakichuk, you must feel it right, the Great eagle is right about them.¡± ¡°OH you''re right about that, I sure did feel it back there they were something else and it¡¯s definitely causing major repercussions here.¡± Wasakichuk started to pick at something in his teeth. ¡°What do you think they are going to do, stay or leave?¡± ¡°What does it matter? They are here now, nothing we can do now but hope they move the huge bowl so I can get back to enjoying the land under the sun speaking of which is where we''re heading.¡± ¡°What!¡± ¡°Ohhh yes we''re going there, to the hot, HOT, HOT! Fiery realm of I''m just kidding, we''re going to meet with some beings in the northern lands, so I''m guessing on this but warn them of these beings in the bowl.¡± ¡°The great Eagle spoke of them having strange ties with reincarnation. What did he mean?¡± squirrel woman asked wasakichuk. ¡°Since they have come from some strange realm different from ours, and lost the planet they had only ties with, they have no ties with reincarnation so their souls are lost forever unless they are welcomed into our planet''s frequency. Which is what I''m guessing they are looking for.¡± ¡°This explains the pain I felt coming from their people, They can¡¯t birth new souls because they lost their planet mother.¡± This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°Their soul''s energy and existence is slowly dying in the multiverse.¡± ¡°Then why help us.¡± Squirrel woman asked wasakichuk. ¡°Preservation of their kind, fear for the same fate to fall upon us, a new home. Probably all above, but I know the Great eagle knows as well as I do that they are going to be allowed to stay here.¡± wasakichuk replied. ¡°How is that? He said they couldn¡¯t stay¡± Stone bear asked in a concerned voice. ¡°He said if they stayed.¡± Wasakichuk Grinned. The orb Flew along the night sky over the ocean. Far from the bowl, but Big bugs could still make out the large object in the vast distance. And towards the direction they were going the sun was rising into view. With the beautiful blue skies overhead they flew through puffy white clouds. Big bugs noticed below his moccasins far down below were frosted covered mountains and waters that flowed between the cracks in the ice. This mythical land he heard stories about from the elders in the northlands. Seeing it now for himself was like hearing it from the words of his elders. Passing over the mountains ice through the clouds, Towards the pyramid in the north. The Bright Gold glowing Eagle flew straight down through the clouds. Towards the massive large Dark Gray pyramid in the mountains. BigFoot descended the orb they were all in and slowly they could see the clouds coming closer till they passed down through them right behind The glowing Eagle. They followed the eagle into the mountain''s massive open square stone doorway.The Temple was massive, and The Great eagle landed on the smooth stone flooring covered in mammoth furs. The orb landed beside him and the Gathered companions walked out. Big bugs took a deep breath in the mountain air.The place was beautiful. ¡°The giants really made a beautiful Place in the mountains.¡±. Big bugs walked to the nearest stone window. Big bugs loved the landscape view on all the snow covered Spruce trees that surrounded the mountains. The mountains stretched far out into the distant lands and seemed to disappear into the mists and clouds. Big bugs loved the feeling of the sun hitting his face. Young river said ¡°LOOK! DRAGON!¡± ¡°Yeah Ice Dragons live out here.¡±Stone bear walked up and took a closer view of the huge blue beast towering over the Trees, knocking them over as he walked by. ¡°They usually don¡¯t eat humans but they could.¡± Squirrel woman said. As she crossed her arms and leaned against the stone walls opening for the window view. The Great Eagle walked forward with big foot as they entered a separate room together with a rather large Human dressed in fine made leather clothing. Young River was about to tag along before Wasakichuk pulled him back and said. ¡°Not so fast young River Boy, That conversation is between them, we are merely guests here in the great temple.¡± Wasakichuk let Young River boy go. Big bugs looked at Young river and nodded with a smile. ¡°We must have Respect.¡± Big bugs said. Then A large tall skinny woman in a beautiful dress walked out. ¡°Who are Big Bugs and Stone Bear?¡± They both looked at each other then back to the beautiful tall light tan skinned long red haired woman. ¡°We are.¡± Big bugs said and stepped forward with Stone bear. ¡°Come with me, The rest of you, Can Enjoy yourselves in our guest lounge, I Will have my Friend here show you the way. And another Tall brown man with long black hair dressed in fine leather clothing nodded with a smile. Stone bear and Big bugs followed The long red haired woman up the large stone temple steps. Big bugs watched as wasakichuk and Squirrel woman and Young River boy walked with the tall man down into a hallway entrance. Big bugs continued up the stairs which led to two large openings, which were two separate stone rooms. Big bugs followed the Tall woman with Stone bear. They walked through the room which had large stone platforms they had food stored on, in beautiful white ivory bowls. ¡°Those meats look good!¡± Stone bear said to Big bugs. ¡°Yes it does.¡± He Replied back thinking how they really haven¡¯t eaten too much in the last couple of days. ¡°You may take it if you wish.¡± The woman said. And Stone bear and Big bugs stopped at a table and started to take bites of the dried meats in the bowls. ¡°You said we can take it right?¡± Stone bear said while he was filling up a white bowl of meat. ¡°What are these beautiful white bowls?¡± ¡°They are made from the mammoth bones we harvest from our hunts, My name is Rala by the way.¡± Rala Replied. ¡°Woah these are made of bone.¡± Big bugs examined the bowls. ¡°Nice to meet you Rala.¡± Big bugs said to Rala. ¡°Pleasure is mine, come now they are waiting for you.¡± Rala turned and continued walking through the room to a hallway entrance. They walked down the long hallway. Passing by artist renditions of great tales, painted on giant hides that hung from the walls. Some paintings and carvings were painted and carved into the walls, strange symbols and markings that made no sense to Big bugs. The beasts in the pictures were of Giant ice bears and hunters fighting, others were of Ice Dragons in battle with the Hunter clans. This pyramids Hallway turned right and they were in front of a large round stone ¡°Stand back from the Stone.¡± Rala said as she lifted her arms up to the stone rock chanting in her language. The Stone began to vibrate. The large stone began to reform into a large round opening. Big bugs could see Big foot and The Great Eagle inside the room looking back at them. Big bugs entered the room with Rala and Stone Bear, Stone was holding and eating from a huge Ivory bowl of dried meat. Big bugs and Stone Bear were caught by surprise at what they saw. End of Chapter 007 Dark Forest written by Travis Willier copyright 2022 Chapter 008 Standing around with The Great eagle and Bigfoot were many different beings he never saw before. Dressed in different forms of clothing he never saw before, they were speaking a different language that he never even heard spoken before. Some even looked more animal than man. The beings and the Giants were gathering around a Large round light portal opening and greeting strange beings that were walking in. The great eagle stood next to bigfoot and some large Giant men dressed in more fancy leather design outfits the Giant men both had hoods on. They were talking to eagle and Big foot as Big bugs and Stone bear walked up. ¡°You both stand in the middle of the Altar¡¯s symbols.¡± Rala said to Big bugs and Stone bear. They both walked to where Rala Pointed. When they walked into the middle it grew very cold. A huge drastic change of temperature that was sure noticeable from the warmth of the room. They both crossed their arms and shook from the cold. The symbols from the altar started to light up. As they started to feel the light from the symbols vibrate into their bones. The vibrations sensation was an over load to the brain and a large pressure started to build Stone bear and Big bugs bled from the nose and mouth. Screaming in agony. Then Big bugs started to see the visions being brought to him. Of the land and its future. He sees the massive bowl landing in the ocean waters to the south and many tribes all around the planet becoming a part of it and coming to the land. Many different styles of buildings will deface the Earth mother. The massive buildings, the gathering of huge tribes, Big bugs saw how this brought corruption and greed, Famine and Death. And worst of all war in the stars which he knew to have peace all these years he was alive. Then he saw the moment of Creation coming to earth and huge storms destroy all of the earth mother¡¯s surface. Big bugs learnt a lot in this ceremony. The vision showed him how to construct huge underground dwellings across the land for all the chosen people that stay pure to the earth mother. Stone bear was shown natural mammoth caverns for millions to dwell in while the time of creation passes over the earth mother. Then the vision went dark. When they awoke they found themselves cleaned and dressed into different clothing they were in the leather fashion of the giants. They had tools and strange necklaces hanging around their necks. Big bugs woke up on a soft mammoth fur that was on a stone cut platform. He looked at the new suit and sat up. While Young River Ran up to them and Squirrel woman walked up. Wasakichuk took a loud crunch from a fruit apple and smiled. ¡°Nice and awake are we! How¡¯s the heads hope they didn''t knock too much sense in hahahahaha!¡± ¡°It¡¯s wild, I''m kinda lost on where to start.¡± Big bugs coughed as he stood to his feet. ¡°Nothing to worry about right now you''re both fine, your memories are working themselves through you will remember in time.¡± Rala walked into the guest room which was a cozy room set up with a warm fireplace and plenty of food and drink. Then the memories rolled in for Big bugs. He Remembered the Earth mother becoming scorched in flames. This story originates from a different website.

Rala looked at his concerned groups faces. ¡°The time of creation is coming and we must prepare for our safety.¡± Rala told the Group gathered in the room. ¡°Me and My kind are going to leave for a nearby habitable moon, you and whomever you wish to bring are welcome to join us.¡± ¡°Will you be returning when the earth mother is bright and beautiful again.¡± Stone bear asked. ¡°No we will not be returning, we will live out the rest of our time on the habitable moon.¡± Rala said. ¡° Will this be the last time we ever set foot in this Great temple ever again?¡± Young River asked. ¡°Yes this is why it''s important you are here Young man to remember us and our great peoples ways of life.¡± Rala kneeled down and placed a large beautiful necklace around his neck and hugged young river boy. ¡°Are any of you coming along with us on our Great Journey?¡± Rala stood back up and smiled. ¡°As Much as I would love to jump to the next moon, I have a huge score to settle with My brother.¡± Wasakichuk said. ¡°Wasakichuk please, Great eagle warned you what the Elder spirits said they would do.¡± Squirrel woman pleaded too wasakichuk. ¡°What does it matter at this point? He crossed the line. The ocean beings crossed the line. They all crossed the line of no return killing my mother and stealing her medicine bag!¡± Wasakichuk replied to Squirrel woman. ¡°Please don¡¯t do this Wasakichuk, we can live together in happiness.¡± Squirrel Woman said as tears rolled down her face. Wasakichuk started to walk out the room to the Stone hallway entrance. Squirrel woman yelled out to him as he was walking away. ¡° I saw a vision, you know¡­.. You¡­ You won''t find him and you won''t get your revenge, and I won''t be here for you to run back to love.¡± Wasakichuk stopped in his stride and stood there breathing Contemplating the words he heard. ¡°Are you going to the moon world?¡± Wasakichuk said, still facing the Stone doorway. ¡°Yes and I won''t be Returning.¡± Wasakichuk turned around and kissed her and held Squirrel woman in his arms. ¡°I had a Vision to¡­ I Will find him¡­ I Will get my Revenge¡­.I will find you¡­. I Love you.¡± Wasakichuk kissed her and then turned and walked out the Stone doorway. Squirrel woman fell to her knees and Cried. ¡°Wasakichuk!¡± But he was already out of the room. Big bugs ran to the entrance and peered down the hall and Wasakichuk was gone. Rala walked over to Squirrel woman. ¡°It will be ok, He will be fine, he Chose his path, and you have as well, i''m sure you two will meet again.¡± Stone bear walked up to Big bugs and tapped him on his shoulder. ¡°So I have to travel across the lands to the west gathering as many I could to make way for some natural caves systems to set up for living, what are you going to be doing?¡± ¡°I will be traveling to the east and gathering as many as I can find and I Will be constructing underground living Areas to survive what comes next.¡± ¡°Well Big bugs look like you and I have a lot of work cut out for us.¡± Stone bear smiled and patted his shoulder. ¡°What do I do Just Remember that''s it?¡± Young River boy asked. ¡°Your journey has a Special purpose, and you will find this purpose.¡± Rala said to Young River boy. Rala nodded and said to Big bugs and Young river boy. ¡°It is time we must part ways, May your journey be a blessed one and may the elders watch over you. The Great Eagle and mistanaphew are waiting¡± Rala Said to them. Big bugs nodded and walked out the stone room door and down the hallway back to the main entrance hall. Stone bear and Young River boy followed him back down the long cold stone hallway. They got to the end and The great eagle was waiting for them with bigfoot. ¡°You both know now what you must do to prepare for the coming events, I do leave you with this warning if you do go to the new floating city, you will suffer the same fate as them and will be banished from these lands.¡± The Great eagle then flapped his wings and flew away in a bright golden glowing flash. The wind from his take off was enough to throw back Young river boy and send the two men to their knees. River boy got up dusting himself off. ¡°What just happened, why did he leave like that?¡± Young river boy asked. ¡°You couldn''t hear him?¡± Stone bear asked Young river boy. ¡°No.¡± ¡°He told us that we knew what we have to do.¡± Big bugs said. Then Big bugs got into the Glowing white orb Bigfoot made followed by Young river boy and Stone bear. And bigfoot floated the orb out of the dark gray pyramid and into the dark starry night sky. Filled with northern lights. End of Chapter 008 Dark forest written by Travis Willier copyright 2022 Chapter 009 Bigfoot flew the orb of light through the clouds back across the ocean. Young River asked BigFoot. ¡°Will you be going to the Moon world?¡± Bigfoot nodded. Young River looked down. ¡°Will you be returning?¡± Young river looked up to see his response. BigFoot nodded. Young River smiled and hugged Bigfoot''s side. Getting closer back to home Big bugs noticed the huge ship was gone, and the finer details of his familiar landscape in the dark seeing the Forest, and river they lived along and the tipis and campfires in the far distance. BigFoot lowered the Light orb to the ground and they exited in woods a good distance away from the tribe. They all exited the Orb and it flashed away into the lights of the northern sky. ¡°Thanks Mistanaphew, you helped us a lot. I hope to see you in the future.¡± Bigfoot nodded then let out a Deep Breath and jumped so high he disappeared into the night sky. Leaving behind his two big footprints in the ground. Young river had tears rolling down his face. ¡°Is everything going to be ok?¡± Young river boy asked Stone bear and Big bugs. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. They stood together in the dark forest for a long silent moment then big bugs spoke. ¡°It will be¡­. as long as we trust in ourselves and the Universe''s creation.¡± Then Big bugs started to walk back. Stone Bear followed with Young River boy as they all walked back through the Dark forest until things became visible as the Sun started to rise for the new day. When they got closer they heard a look out call to the people. ¡°They are here! The Hero¡¯s have Returned!¡± And the Tribe Started to Cheer and drums were heard as the people gathered to welcome the heroes back home under the sun. A Great ceremony was held in the eagles honor and a great sun dance was planned.Big bugs and Stone bear spoke of their visions they had in the north and of the many beings they saw and of the tricksters they met. Younger river accounted for all their claims and details. The Tribe was frightened and others were happy to hear the news. Within the coming weeks they started to prepare and many others were gifted with the vision from the sun dance. The tribes split and traveled the course of the Visions meeting many new tribes and grouping up with them. These tribes made their way across the lands finding Huge cavern systems to build and live inside of while the vision kept Big bugs Stone bear far apart from each other''s tribes they soon found out these temples could communicate with each other so the tribes were able to check in with one another telling details of the others progress. They crafted and constructed many temples in the ground across the lands. Finally settling on one. Many years went by and Big bugs was an old man by this time And The Great eagle was right, the city in the water did grow and become two cities which eventually led to war in the sky. We watched as the bowls in the sky met other sky dragons and they lit up the starry night like flowers of light. We then all knew it was time to make the long haul into the underground cities. Where we lived for many years, We watched from the safety of our new home in the Earth mother, The Vision showed us the earth mothers surface as it burned and flooded. We watched the Eagles prophecy come to life as All the surface cities were destroyed and our earth mother¡¯s guests left in their bowls before the destruction, but not all of them. Some went underground, others left through portals to a new dimension. ¡°Big bugs taught me the ways of the vision before he passed in this Great temple. And Now I will teach all of you these ways, so The vision may guide all of you on this new turtle island.¡± River man was seated outside of a tipi in the bright green grass surrounded by young Hunters. ¡°I have one Question, So My Dad, When did he teach you the ways of vision?¡± Big bugs fly asked River man.. ¡°Well, How about you See for yourself.¡± River man Grinned his wrinkled old face.
