Anyway here it is ... I call It :
The Event Of A Life Time
Skin boats flew across the ebbing sea splashing the veil of the sea mother. A Man sat at the front of a sleek and slender boat the crisp air tossing his dark, long hair about his broad shoulders and thick neck. This man had a smile that would not fall today, along with eyes that seemed to be staring into his thoughts. The skin boats, side by side, began to slow down at the sight of the magnificent beach that then dispersed into the forest, but despite this beautiful scenery, the man still wondered in his own mind until the salty liquid splashed up at his seal clan tattoos. Stepping out of the hand crafted skin boat; the man turned and received a friendly hug from the man that had steered the boat. The forest welcomed them and noises of song birds filled the air on the most important day of that one mans life. From the forest emerged many Willow Clan members and one in particular that called out his name, Vexen. Turning around Vexen’s smile grew bigger as the woman know as Everta ran towards him, her bright blonde hair flicking in the oceans winds, her arms outstretched and ready to embrace the him. Her head lay on his shoulder and his on hers, she whispered these words into his ear as she released her grip; I missed you.
As the day grew on, the evening sky turned pink with soft clouds hovering around it. Vexen and Everta had parted and where getting ready in separate camps on separate parts of the beach. Vexen stepped out of his tent dressed in new clothes especially made for this special event, Breathing out he regained the smile and began walking down to the decided area. A fire was lit and the other seal’s sat around the fire awaiting his arrival. Sitting down the Leader started to tell tales that had happened in the past to men that had taken on this challenge.
The tales earlier that night had worried Vexen so much that he walked out of the circle of Seal’s into the forest. Surprised by this action, a man called xylem went to get up and pursue him however, the Leader pulled him back down telling him with his eyes that it wasn’t the right thing to do. In the forest Vexen had found refuge in a clearing and had begun pacing back and forth mulling the situation over along with the future outcomes. A figure flew from the forest and held him close. For a minute Vexen stood surprised his arms not touching it ,but the shimmering hair that swayed in the night air gave him a clue , so he wrapped his arms round her tightly feeling sure that the problems would not occur.
The next morning was bright and clear, perfect for what would happen later on in the day. The seal clan members where already outside Vexen’s tent waiting for him to appear and when that time came they each in turn took a moment to say good luck, then they began to walk to the place where it would happen.
Everta Stood at the desired place staring out to sea her bright, blue eyes sparkling in the ever moving sun that towered above them, casting shadows across the land. Turning round she looked at all the faces of the willow clan members.
Vexen walked towards Everta but stopped a distance before. The two Clan leaders stepped forwards and began the ritual. Vexen and Everta were called to the middle once the ancient words had been spoken, and then together they sealed it with a Kiss. The Marriage was complete.
On the edge of the Beach the new found couple looked out to sea, hand in hand, at their new home, the seal islands. It was time to leave but was also the hardest part of this occasion because Everta, the young and maybe a little naive willow woman, was leaving her clan for good. For reassurance, Everta looked deep into Vexen's Bold, bright blue eyes then finally said her goodbyes to her old friends. Climbing into the skin boats the seals set off for the new homeland of this brave couple.
Looking back, Everta saw The Willow's waving them goodbye from the shore until the forest disappeared, the Willows were gone.
Turning back around, she hugged Vexen tight pushing the sadness down deep inside her.
The boats disappeared over the horizon, the setting sun taking a last look at the forest. Vexen and Everta; Mate's for life.
