! !!RESERVED FOR REBEL!! !
---

In a secluded village, at the very edge of the Kingdoms, bordering between wilderness and utter wilderness, was a group of people so utterly wild yet happy that any outsider would only call them barbaric.

In this village, the people lived off the land, not farming but picking berries digging up roots from the forest around them and using the bells of flowers as fruits.

The road into this village was rarely used, over grown by vines, grass and much more.

The village itself was sizable with nearly 25 huts and a population of a little over one hundred residents.

Today was a special day, a coming of age ceremony for several children. As the sun set, the smell of burning amber and flowers filled the air.

-❀-❀-

The river was cold and felt refreshing on the skin, a girl sat on a boulder near the middle of the wide river, her tawny curls flowing down her back and shoulders in perfect ringlets. Her skin a golden brown from the sun. She was washing what looked like an animal hide and sang softly as she did, brownish red water clouding into the water than dissolves:
" Get a little closer, let fold
Cut open my sternum, and pull
My little ribs around you
The rungs of me be under, under you

I'll cut the soft pockets, let bleed
Over the rocky cliffs that you leave
To peer over and not forget what feet are
Splitting threads of thunder over me..."

The girl places the hide next to her to dry on the side of the boulder in the afternoon heat. She stretches, her tunic was soaked as she pushes up the soft yellow sleeves and slips off her belt, sliding down to dip her toes in the water. She kicks up the water in glittering arcs, her bright multi-colored eyes glowing with happy radiance. Oh what would an outsider think? Seeing such a thing? Hearing such a barbaric song?

A lion roared in hunger.
"Okay, okay! My friend, we are almost to the village." A young maiden of sixteen years grunted to the lion for the hundreds time. Jupiter was very inpatient, but what could she expect from a hungry carnivore. Her stomach growled in union with him, making her groan and walk faster to the village that was about 100 feet away.

Layla's features was hidden behind white cloth that wrapped around her neck, torso, her forearms, hands, and her calfs. But her long sandy blond hair was shown in a ponytail, her waves reached her lower back. Her sleeveless gray top went to above her wraps, which was to her upper stomach. This left her muscular upper arms and a bit of she shoulder to show.
She wasn't bulky like a man, but she was more fit than a woman should be.
Her loss white pants, held up by a page tie, went to her knees. Jupiter only had a white scafe that cover his mane.

Their style was very uncanny to the people of this land since they're both were originally born in a desert, Petra. She and her brother traveled across the sea to and vast land, in search of knowledge of magic.

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

(Is that good? lol and Petra is a real place. I lived a couple of hours away from there.)

[CrimsonMoon]

" That I might see with my chest and sink
Into the edges round you
Into the lakes and quarry's that brink
On all the edges round you

Get a little closer, let fold
Cut open my sternum, and pull
My little ribs around you
The lungs of me be crowns over you~"

She sang louder, slipping the tunic over her head and sliding into the water with a splash

(Epic sauce x3)

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

As Layla edged closer to her destination, she turned to comment about the beautiful, tall, wooden creatures called trees to her companion only to see no one by her side. She turned around to see that Jupiter had stopped in his tracks a few feet behind her. His ears perked up in alarm.
Layla was by Jupiter in a second, leaning down only slightly to be eye level with the huge creature.

"What is it, my friend?" She whispered.

"A is pond is near, but a women is there." His husky voice spoke to her mind.

Layla's throat tightened at the word 'water'. Oh how thirsty the two travelers were. They both could last as long as a camel without water, but it has been to long and they needed their strength if they plan to reach Camelot by nightfall.

"And in this woman a threat?"

"That is the question, isn't it."

Layla rolled her eyes, "Well, Jupiter, shall we go and find out?"


(Cool! :3 I'm not sure about the way she should speak so I'll just go with the flow haha.)

[CrimsonMoon]

XD)

The girl dunks herself under the water, breathing in sharply and coughing. She rubs her skin with the soft sand until it turns a gentle brown and seems to glow.

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

(I'm just starting to read the Once and the Future King so I know I'll get better with this thread.

The young female hid like a predator in the trees, so quite she couldn't even hear her own breathing. Growing up with Jupiter has and will continue to teach her an interminable amount.
She looked over to the lion, whom was in a stance that showed he was ready to pounce.
Layla glanced back over to the women who had dived into the water bathing herself.
From the look of it, the women, or girl, wasn't much of anything, let alone a threat. She looked like a normal person washing herself.
Layla wasn't a hundred percent sure yet that this creature wasn't a threat. Both predators stayed in place, continuing to watch.

[CrimsonMoon]

The girl finished cleaning her tawny hair and crawled back onto the boulder, lying on the boulder. She didn't even mind her utter nakedness.

She hums softly as she sunbathes

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

Layla surpressed her gag as she watch this women lay nude.
She was confused, was this the culture here? How...strange. She concluded that though serif, this girl was no threat.
Jupiter clawed at the dirt, allowing him to feel the vibration in the ground. No one else was around besides the girl and the fish in the pond.
He gave his friend a nod, she responded with a smile. Both stood up straight and walked from out of their cover abc into the open.
Jupiter jumped into the water and Layla laughed, but didn't follow. She kneeled by the pond, cupping her hand and slipping the water. It filled her taste buds with joy and moisturized her thoart.

[CrimsonMoon]

She looks up at the lion and the young woman, she smiles and waves, lying on her stomach," Hello stranger!" She calls out

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

Layla turned to look at the stranger's face, feeling uncomfortable looking any place else, "Marhaba, naked one." She greets in all seriousness.

(Marhaba is hello in Arabic.)

[CrimsonMoon]

(X3 epic sauce)

The girl tilts her head, lookin confused but still smiling," You must be a stranger in this land... What's your bame?"

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

"I am a traveler from the Land of Sand. Layla is my title." She bowed her head in respect, "My brother, Jupiter." She gestured to the big cat jumping and splashing around in the water, trying to caught some grub for his growling stomach.
"Your name, nude one?"

[CrimsonMoon]

" Shiva," She answers and smiles, sitting up and crossing her arms over her chest," Are you here to see the coming of age ceremonies? Maybe even... Participate?"

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

Layla raised her eyebrows, "I don't know anything about this ceremony. I am just passing through for supplies."
She said, not wanting to go into full detail about her plans to a stranger.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Supplies? My father is the chief, he could help you!" She smiles and pushes her hair from her face," But you'd probably have to stay the night... All the merchants will be at the ceremony.."

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

"I have to be--"Layla groaned, blocking the nakedness of the girl with her hand, "Please, clothe yourself."

[CrimsonMoon]

She blinks and wraps the pelt around her shoulders," what's wrong?" She asks, tilting her head," Don't you... like being naked?"

[RebelGirlTearingItUp]

Layla couldn't help but laugh, "No, Lady Shiva." She respectfully said to the chiefs daughter, "I like the feel of the cloth on my skin and armor on my back. I am safer then."
Layla always had her white cloth wrapped around her body, especially her scared knuckles from training and her scared stomach from a horrible time.

[CrimsonMoon]

The girl pauses before standing, leaping from the boulder onto another, doing it again an again. Leaping as graceful as a deer until she lands on the shore," Do you want me to show you how nice it can be?" She smiles playfully, holding the pelt around her shoulder like a cape

(Naked batman xDDDD)
