Pine trees, and soaring mountains sound you while you are traveling through the trees, with the smell of bitterness and two-stroke fumes fills the air around you.

I knew that if I didn't go on the trip something would go wrong. After training for weeks on how to throw an atlatl, what angle to throw it, and where to hit the animal. I also learned where to hit certain animals, and how hard to throw it, I also learned how to shoot a bow and arrow. Yesterday, had been my last day to practice and I knew I was ready, I packed food, water, my bow, my atlatl, and my will to succeed.

I grew up, and always have been, odd. I am not saying that I was raised by wolves, or my parents are spies, and I traveled the globe hunting down foreign enemies. I wish. I was just naturally odd and quite unusual for my age. By odd, I do not mean I collected bugs from my backyard and thought I was a wizard, or from another planet. No, I just did not fit in.
