The Treetop Tribes

Episode 7

Jim woke up in his cell, the door unlocked. He went outside. He was still confined to his room but at least he could see outside. He looked through a hole in the wooden door. He saw that same room that reeked of death felt bad for the prisoners in there. He had never seen them get fed yet, and he had been here for a two days now. Suddenly the door to other entrance to his room swung open. It was Sophia. She sighed. “Looks like Tim forgot to lock up when he took your food.” She snorted. “Are you looking for some of your friends who may be out there, amongst the rest of your kind?” Jim silently sighed in annoyance. Here insults were getting annoying. “May I ask,” He turned around.” How were you raided.” Sophia sighed from sadness. “It was a week ago, just days before you got here.”

Sophia wandered around the jungle bow in hand. She looking for hide so that her tribe could make more armor and saddles. She spotted a dodo. “Perfect!”

She thought. She drew back the arrow on bow and was about to fire when- “THUD!” Sophia turned around. A giant foot came crashing down through the forest in front of her. And then another one. They were the feet of a rex. But rexes didn’t live anywhere around here unless- THEY WERE BEING RAIDING! Sophia rushed back towards here base. She knew she could beat the rex there, she knew these jungles like the back of her hand.

When she arrived at her base she climbed the ladder up the tree. “WERE BEING RAIDED!” She shouted at the top of her lungs. “SOUND THE ALARM!” People rushed toward the drums near the edge of the base. They started rapidly beating them. Sophia rushed down towards the armory. She reached for all the best weapons there tribe had. Reserved especially for moments like these. She grabbed a compound bow and around fifty metal arrows. Soon more people were flooding in, reaching for spears and pikes and swords and crossbows and compound bows and shield and everything else there was to grab. They all rushed out to their battle stations. They were right on time too, Because right as she stepped out, onto her position, the Rex came crashing through the trees. A volley of arrows erupted from both sides. Sophia follows her first instinct, which was to aim for the rex. But then she looked down and saw the terror birds and raptors and sabertooths rushing towards their base. She started firing on a raptor, which alerted it’s rider who proceeded to pull out a crossbow. Sophia tried to run but it was too late. The last thing she saw before she went out was s green arrow, flying straight at her face.

She woke up the next day in the medic chamber, where she noticed a an unusual amount of patients. All of them were injured in the war. She was told that luckily they arrow only pricked her though it was still enough to knock her out. She shuddered knowing that she was that close to death. She learned the next day that the base had been broken into where her tribe had stored everything. And only days before the emperors taxes were due. She knew that this would not be the last of the warfare to come.

Btw if you see this on the tenth it’s because I submitted these at like elven am, so 5, 6, and 7 are written in the ninth. Also, if the old five does finally pop up, screw it, just read the one with the super long apology letter at the top because it is WAY different from the original.
