《ALIFUBETO》


 Chapter 1

    Alafa was looking over the field of beautiful flowers and wondered over it''s beauty for some time. But it became time to go so he called for his dog.


    "Cana!" he shouted once with a loud voice. Barely waiting a second he could see in the distance that the dog was aproaching with great speed and her tounge out. It ran up to Alafa with high speed, making him fall on his back while licking his face continuously.


    Alafa took Cana and went back home to his village, on the top of mount Manata. They were part of the once nomadic group known as Alafabata, but then settled on mount Manata after 7 generations of a nomadic lifestyle.


    "Comming back so soon kid?" a voice asked. Alafa saw the figure of a man to the side of the entrance to the village, looked at Cana who decided to jump at the man, but not as a form of attack. Instead she licked the man as he kept petting her.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    "Who are you?" Alfa asked the man.


    "My name is Valata, I am here to see the village elder if I may?" the man answered.


    Alafa thought, "Cana would not be jumping in anyone so joyfully if they bore ill intent" so he let him in while he still was petting Cana.


    "Lucky for you, I am the son of the elder" he said with a big smile as he opened the entrance.


    So Alafa showed Valata to his father, the elder Fadara of Alafabata. Valata was accepted with open arms and great smiles in the village, but Valata wanted to talk in private with the elder over a serious topic very quickly. Fadara, concerned guided him to his meeting-room and listened.


    Yet Alafa could only hear loud screams coming from his father, and a worried Cana besides him as Valata went out the village never to be seen on the Mount again.


    Mount Manata began to shake as Valata began leaving the feet of the mountain and the sky turned scarlet, as the rain killed the vegetation of the earth. Fadara recorded the incident as Valata, after the visitor.


    Alafa did yet not know what made his father so mad in his discussion with Valata, and was eager to find out more of what had happened

 Chapter 2

    Alafa was seated at the lunch table waiting for his father with his mother, Madara.


    "Why was father so angry yesterday?" Alafa asked his mother.


    "There are things only your father can explain honey, you should ask him." his mother answered.


    The door opened and it was like the flies ceased making sounds as a grumpy Fadara entered the kitchen.


    "Father?" Alafa asked.


    "What happened yesterday? Why did you sound so angry when talking to mr.Valata?"


    "Do not talk about that fool son." Fadara answered.


    "You will one day become the elder of the village and encounter lunatics like that guy yesterday. All you have to do when that happens is ignore them."


    Fadaras words left a big sensation of confusion in Alafa.


    * * *


    "AAAAA!!!!" A loud scream from the outside echoed through the village.


    The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.Fadara hasted from the table.


    Alafa looked at his mother, who signed him to follow after.


    When they arrived at the scene Alafa felt his lunch on it''s way back out the way it came from.


    On the ground was what looked like a small carcass, with wounds all over and a missing head.


    And a crying woman in the arms of her husband.


    "What happened here? Anybody knows?" Fadara asked as there gathered more people around them, and as they saw the dead body everybody froze from fright.


    But people started talking and sayng things one after another.


    "This is a sign. The enemies of the Laradagad has cursed the land. We are doomed!" One said after another with very worried faces.


    "But why would the enemies of Laradagad be cursing the land?" One said in denial.


    "They bring only plague and destruction, it is in their nature to hate the living" Fadara said with a loud yet calming voice, that let everyone catch a breath.


    "What are we to do elder?" everybody asked Fadara.


    He let out a big sigh, trying not to show weakness and keep everyone from panicking anymore.


    As he was opening his mouth, Fadara started coughing blood and fell on the ground.


    Everyone panicked and said "the land is now cursed".


    Alafa fell on his knees in front of his now dead father crying, and in the chaos ran away down the mountain.
