I get woken up by a familiar voice calling after me. I frown before sighing and grumbling. I am so tired. I open my eyes and face Neteyam waking me up.

"Wake uuuup." He says shaking me slightly.

I am so confused. I don't know who I am, where I am, why I am or either when I am. I feel like I am waking up from a coma. I straighten up and rub my eyes.

"Tarsem let you in? I ask in my sleepy voice.

- Yeah, he did. Now wake up we have a busy day ahead." He says as he caresses my face.

I sigh. I am so tired. I do not want to wake up. But I have to, so I drag myself off of bed. I realize Tsireya has left already. I turn to Neteyam before speaking up.

"Where's Tsireya? I ask.

- With Lo'ak, waiting for you." He answers back.

I take a few clothes before getting behind the screen. I take off my old clothes and put on my new loincloth with a leaf top.

"What are we doing today? I ask before washing my face and taking a sip of water.

- Climbing." He answers.

Great. At least we are not doing something boring. And I mean, we obviously will have to learn how to climb to leave here.

I find it weird. I find it weird to wake up. Wake up without my mom. If she were there, she'd probably scold at me because I didn't eat breakfast before getting ready. I smile with that thought in mind before approaching Neteyam.

"Can I have my kiss now?" He asks with a head tilt.

I chuckle before approaching him and sliding my hand on the back of his neck. I place a chaste kiss on his lips, I can feel him smiling against my lips. Man only needs one kiss to be happy for the rest of the day. It's so adorable. I love this man.

"Are you ready?" He asks.

I take a fruit, I'll just eat it on our way. So I at least have one thing for breakfast so my mom wont scold at me from where she is. Because if she sees me leaving the house without eating, she'd probably tell my father how ignorant dumb I am.

"Yup." I answer, he smiles and we leave the hut.

Me and Tsireya kept looking at each other in a very worried way. This tree is so huge and seems hard to climb. I don't know how we are going to manage to at least get on that fucking tree.

"Uh boys... This tree is intermediate, I'm beginner." Tsireya says as she turns to the boys with raised eyebrows.

We all stifle a laugh. I know this seems hard to climb, but we just need to keep focusing on every moves. We'll succeed, I know it.

"The tree you are climbing on doesn't matter. There's no tree that is harder to climb than another. Lo'ak says.

- I'll trust you then." Tsireya whispers.

She turns back to the tree, I take a deep breath before resting my hand on it, grabbing a bark between my fingers. I grab another one with my other hand before getting on the tree, alright, this doesn't seem too difficult.

"Alright, good. You're doing great. All you need to focus on is your catches and your moves." Neteyam says.

Tsireya gets on the tree too, and we both start climbing on that tree, it's not as fast as the boys, but still a great start, I think. I just try to chase the negative thoughts away to bring positive thoughts. My mother always used to tell me that positive attracts positive.
