struggling in the current. A voice spoke “Finish that
weakling off!” The lady who dragged you in the water
points her arrow at you & everything turned black.

doing, you leaped out of the bush, then fear gripped you, there are 7 Wind
Tribe enemies & you are completely outnumbered because you are alone
by yourself, but too late they saw you they tied you up & drag you into their
camp, the Wind Tribe leader sent a messenger to your leader saying ‘If you
want your hunter back, give us more prey & territory or we will kill the hunter’
Your leader is noble & fair, to him, a life is more important than anything, so
he gave away part of his territory & prey but Wind Tribe asked for
more,your leader sighs but gave more until they let you go, when you are
back with your Tribe, everyone blames you for giving away territory & prey,
suggesting you should be kicked out of the clan, the leader looks at you &
sighs shaking his head & said “You may go”
THE END (You live your life by yourself)

23. Leave the enemies plotting
Leave of course, there are 7 Wind Tribe enemies there, you will be
outnumbered! As you turn to leave, you step on a twig SNAP! They
saw you started surrounding you & said “If you tell your leader about
the attack, this, will happen,” He drew a sword beside your neck,
“Understood? There will be a spy in your clan, we will know whether
you told the leader or not.” You:
Don’t tell leader, they’ll kill you!- Click here
Say you won’t but tell your leader, you would risk your life for this, your Tribe
always comes first- Click here

Say yes, but don’t do it- Click here

25. Leave River Tribe intruder
Leave it, you are not bothered as you turned SNAP! You stepped on
something, it seems to be a trap, arrows, daggers, knives, swords, weapons
flew towards you, well it seems like your life ends here.
THE END

26. No matter what, your Tribe comes first, you raced into camp, you find Bark
always looking at you, is he the traitor, you can’t be sure, as you went
over to your leader, you told him everything, except Bark behavior.“I want you
protected since there’s a traitor, stay in my room & prepare for the attack” I will tell
Bark to guard this room, just as he left, walked towards
you smirking drew out her sword, you have no weapon at all, just as she
was to kill you, she fell to the ground like a doll, lifeless. Behind her was the Wind
Tribe hunter who made you not to tell the leader. “Why did you kill
her? She was helping you.”“I know, I was using her, I will kill every single person
who’s helping me that has River Tribe blood flowing in them & I am going to kill you
myself.” “No, you are not.” As fast as lightning, your
leader finished him off, “Wind Tribe’s attacking, come fight with me. You
nodded.At the end River Tribe won, the deputy died in the battle, so you became
deputy.
THE END

27. Accept the Job but Feel Guilty
Breeze is never wrong, perhaps he’s right, because Adder does keep
on slipping out of camp & into some mischief, that night when he’s
sleeping, you raised your dagger & stabbed into him, Breeze
appeared & said, “If you didn’t kill him, the whole Tribe is in danger,
he’s been meeting Wind Tribe enemies & plotting to invade the camp.”
The next day the leader calls you to his room & said “Breeze came to
me & told me everything, what you did was right, even if it’s hard,
never doubt Breeze, he is wise. Well done, you have an apprentice,
because Rye just told me he wants to be a healer instead.
THE END

28. Leave the berries
You remember Storm telling you that those berries are
poisonous, you walked away, then you decided to climb
the sycamore tree like you always do, as you are resting
up the tree, you see River Tribe creeping toward Wind Tribe
camp, they are trying to ambush your tribe before you can
warn your Tribe an arrow headed toward you & hit you,
you tried to stop the blood, but it was too late, you &
yourTribe was destroyed by River Tribe.
THE END

29. Catch up patrol
Even if you find intruder, you can’t fight them by yourself, it will be
useless. “Wait for me!” you called to the patrol, they slowed down
to let you catch up, the leader & deputy is in that patrol! You walk
toward the border, “Wind Tribe patrol!” you hissed,the WindTribe
patrol crossed the border! “Let’s finish River Tribe once & for all!”
They can’t finish us off! There are 45 of us!”
You think, should you go to their camp & attack it, or stay & fight
here?

30. Get the berries
Your stomach growled, if you don’t eat, you’ll die of
hunger! You picked some & nibbled on it, DELICIOUS!
You ate more, then you decided to go back to your camp,
you’re getting sleepy, all you want is to sleep. As you
walked toward your bed, you find yourself having trouble
with breathing, suddenly you remember Storm telling you
that there’s a type of berry called night russet are deadly,
you ran towards your medicine supplies but you trip over
& the world around you spins around...
THE END

31. A flash of red made you go toward it, berries! They look
like blueberries but are red, you are not sure what they
are but they look delicious & you’re getting hungry:

32. Check border by yourself
Who needs noisy patrollers? You are very fine by yourself, as you went
down the border, people are planning to attack River Tribe, how dare
they when you leaped out of your hiding place, they caught you & kept
hitting you until you promised to not tell your
leader about the attack.

Don’t tell leader- Click here

33. Hunt deer for Wind Tribe
You haven’t been deer hunting for months, so you headed towards
the Deer Forest, when you caught a deer, you headed back to camp,
when you were back, the healer ran towards you & said “Quick, cook
the deer & then you have a choice to save the deputy or Spring, a
pregnant Wind Tribe person, Gorse, the noble deputy would make a
great leader but if you don’t save Spring, she & her 2 twin would die
because they have a disease that they need food to help fight it off,
but Spring is half tribe, her father was a River Tribe, so it’s your choice:
Save Spring, 3 lives is more than 1- Click here
Save Gorse, Spring is half tribe, when he is loyal & pure Wind Tribe- Click here

34. Save Gorse
Spring is half Tribe, save Gorse of course! Spring eventually dies & days
later, Gorse led enemy from nowhere to attack the camp, it’s
Gorse’s fault, you could have saved Spring, not your camp is weak &
frail like an elder & one day outsiders invaded your Tribe & let your
Tribe be their slaves when Gorse becomes the deputy for RiverTribe.
You saved a traitor.
THE END

35. Save Spring
Who cares if she’s half Tribe or not? Save 3 lives’ important, you
served her the deer as she recovered, but Gorse died, when your
leader came back he said “You saved the right person, I just found
out that Gorse was a spy for River Tribe! Since he died, you may
become the deputy.” As he gathered the Tribe & awarded the deputy
badge to you. Then you have your own apprentice, Bracken!
THE END

36. Kick sand in intruder’s face
You kick sand into the patrollers face & ran taking the deer with you, when
you are back at camp, a messenger came in saying “The Wind Tribe leader,
Heather wishes to speak with Ripple, your leader, when Heather came she
hissed “Prey stealers, Reed came & told me that this intruder-”she said
pointing at you “Stole prey in our territory, that deer was actually caught by
Reed, but this thief took it. If you don’t believe what I said, look at the arrow,
it’ll say ‘Reed’ on it. 2 leaders started fighting, you rushed & had a look at the
arrow, ‘Reed’ was carved on it, you must have missed the deer, he’s the one
who caught it. You stopped the leader & admitted the deer was theirs,
Heather & Reed left as Ripple looked at you & sighed warning “Don’t do
that ever again.” as he left shaking his head. Your Tribe stares at you for
what you’ve done, but what’s done is done.
THE END

37. Drop the deer
You dropped the deer calling out “You can have the deer!”
& scram, then you find yourself skidding at the edge of
a small gorge & into a river. The river got wider & wider
until it flowed into the sea, you climbed onto a boat, it
travelled for 6 months & arrived in a place called Aotearoa,
you have left your Tribe, family, friends. Seems like you
have to live here, but you like this place a lot, you decided
to stay & live a new life.
THE END

38. Attack with crossbow
Crossbow, you decided. When your arrow sliced into the the enemy,
he went limp, you went over & searched for useful weapons or
medical herbs, you found a letter, you raced into your camp & gave it
to your leader “Hmm, the letters says to attack our camp at new moon
because it’s all dark, do you think it’s a trick, or is it for real?”
It’s a trick, why would they enter our camp, when they have that letter- Click here
It’s real, who would use a life of the hunter just for a letter?- Click here

39. Attack with sword
You haven’t fought for a long, so you pulled out your sword & leaped
out of your hiding place, but before you could even fight with that intruder,
she finished you off already, with a dagger.
THE END

40. Lie to Breeze
No! You can’t betray Adder, so you said “Yes, I will!” The next day
Breeze doesn’t appear, you think to yourself, ‘Yay! I’m so smart’ as
days past nothing happens, you think to yourself ‘Silly old Breeze,
what’s wrong with Adder?’ But the next night, something woke you up,
you had a look- Adder! He led a patrol & surrounded the camp,
when you woke everyone up, it was too late, River Tribe is invaded,
some are killed, some has to be slaves & some has to live their lives as
loners
THE END

41. Give Breeze injuries
You will never betray your friend, you gave Breeze injuries leaving him
by the river bleeding, the next couple of weeks nothing happens, but
one night when you are sleeping an invader brought his patrol to wipe
out River Tribe & you are killed in your sleep, that invader is Adder.
THE END

42. You chose a decision that has to be done fast, you raced into your
camp & called out, “Wind Tribe attacking, prepare! “Then you let your
5 friends, Cloud, Fog, White, Stone & Brook come with you to attack
Wind Tribe, “Wind Tribe is attacking, they got their whole clan invading
us, so we’ll attack their camp to stop them!” “But how?” Fog asked
“Because the camp is empty, silly!” Stone snapped. Soon they Wind Tribe’s
camp, only the elders & the kids are in there & Dawn, Wind Tribe leader’s daughter.
“This is what we do.” you said & snatched Dawn from the camp &
ran toward the border where theTribe’s are fighting, “Wind Tribe pests,” you
called holding Dawn up,“If you don’t go, your leader’s daughter will be in
danger!” The Wind-Tribe leader stopped dead, “Don’t you dare hurt her!”
he snarled.“Then surrender.” You snapped, the leader scowled but
retreated. Whenyou go back at camp, the leader awarded you that, except
the deputy,leader or healer, you can tell the Tribe what to do & you have
your apprentice, Pebble.
THE END

43. Stay & fight with patrol
Why would you go attack their camp? It’s useless so you stayed & fought
with your patrol, but your patrol is outnumbered, so you, your leader,
deputy & patrol died then Wind Tribe rushed into River Tribe camp &
took over River Tribe.
THE END

44. The letter’s a trick
Why would they like to enter your territory when you shouldn’t see
it? “It’s a trick.” “Are you sure? This an a important decision.” “It’s a
trick, okay?” you grumbled & stomped off, days past & new moon
came but there were no sign of invaders, weeks past & one day, a
shriek echoed the forest as invaders attacked your camp, but it’s not
new moon yet! How is it like this? “Heh, silly little brat, that letter is to
confuse you, stupid, so the letter is right & wrong, we attacked like
how it says on the letter but not at new moon.” as he finished a sword
struck towards you knocking the breath out of you as everything
black...
THE END

45. The letter is true
Who would let their hunters die for nothing? It is true, but confusing,
you said “The letter is neither right nor wrong,” the leader looked at
you puzzled, “It’s like this,” you explained “They will attack, but not
at new moon, so we need to prepare, the attack could be anytime
from now.” The leader nodded & let the whole Tribe be prepared,
but days past, the new moon past, still no attack but you still keep on
preparing, then one afternoon invaders attacked when your Tribe is
ready & one of the invader said “Impossible, how did you work out
our plan?” you laughed & said “Knowledge, it is a battle strategy used
long ago. Then the leader decided to let the invaders go but they have
to give your Tribe territory & food & you lived your life happily &
peacefully
THE END

46. Tell leader
You agreed not to tell, but you told your leader anyway.
Your Tribe prepared for an attack even if many hunter’s
injured but you prevented your Tribe from dying!
THE END

47. Don’t tell anyone
You agreed not to tell, they let you go, days past when finally Wind
Tribe attacked. Your Tribe is gone because of you.
THE END
