Dane wakes up from his daze and he releases a Deep Sigh.
"I really reincarnated, huh." He says to himself as he takes a look around his tent.
Even though he is only 5 years old, he looks as if he is 8. This was due to him being of Barbarian origin as they grow to adulthood quick due to the harsh environment they live.
His silver/Gold eyes scan the room as if in search of something until they lock onto a crate of small wooden figurines. The figurines looked as if they were unfinished and had a few details missing, but other than that the figurines seemed as if carved by an expert.
Dane reached into the crate again and pulled out a small carving knife. Soon his eyes shined a determined glow and he began to work meticulously on the wood carvings.
As he worked, carving piece by piece on the wood figurines, they slowly began to take the form of Rag-Thane and Kami.
Soon the carvings looked finished, but Dane Seemed unsatisfied so he continued working, his fingers moving with dexterity and speed unfitting of his small hands.
Once he stopped again, the figurines looked as if they were a small Rag-Thane and Kami made out of wood.
After adding the finishing details, Danes Eyes sparkled with Happiness and warmth and he huffed and satisfied grunt whilst nodding his small head triumphantly.
Dane having grown up without parents in his previous life cared for his parents more than his own life. Just having a chance to be Reborn with a family made him thankful to whichever God gave him this chance.
Since birth Danes Eyes practically Glowed every time he saw them. He always tried to be with his parents, and when he couldn't and they had matters to with the clan he would sit and wait whilst carving the Figurines of his parents.
Today he had finished his carving and he was extremely satisfied as he looked towards his tent flap longingly.
Not very long after he was looking though he heard the sound of someone approaching his tent. He stood up quickly and ran towards the entrance hoping it was his parents.
Soon the flap moved as his mother walked in. She quickly spotted her son looking at her with rapt attention as he called out to her l"Mother your back" He said as he jumped into her embrace.
Kami only shook her head at her child's action and replied " yes I'm back and are you ready for you birthday celebration?"
Dane Nodded as they made their way out of the tent. It was bright outside so light quickly shone into his eyes causing him to block the rays with his forearm.
Once his vision returned he could see the area around his tent which had a path moving towards the mountain. On the paths edged were more tents that were slightly smaller but all similar in design which was shaped like a Yurt. They had a banner like Insignias of A silver Moon on their sides.
As they walked down the path others in the clan along the path greeted them and smiled as they passed. Danes Parents were well known in the Clan and respected my all because of their efforts towards its well being. Dane was also very liked by the clan due to his charismatic and friendly nature, always willing to help others.
Soon they reached open area in the surrounding tents where a Bonfire can be seen being constructed by some clansmen in preparations for the celebration.
As the Clans next Heir, Danes Birthday is celebrated by the clan as a future leader.
On the fifth birthday of the heir, the clan holds a ceremonial ritual in worship of the Moon Goddess, Moremi as the Source of their power. Though in recent years it seemed the goddess has been less responsive to their prayers and rituals.
Soon Dane and his Mother reached another tent larger than most and entered. Inside sitting on mats in the area were The Elders,Dalm, Rag-Thane, Clan Leader Salam, and his wife Marie.
Dane smiled Brightly at the sight of his relatives, and the smiled back as Salam Beckoned him over.
He quickly ran over and jumped into the old mans lap which elicited a groan from him causing everyone to laugh.
Rag-Thane walked over and knelt in front of Dane who was sitting comfortably on his fathers lap.
"Is there anything specific you want for your birthday bud?" He asked him curiously to which Dane replied fast.
" I want you to train me to fight" he spoke with conviction, as if he was waiting for this question before he even asked.
Rag-Thane took on a baffled expression. He was about to answer no since kids in the Clan usually began training at 8, but then he thought about how his son was a lot different from other children.
He was incredibly smart and picked up on things quickly, he was a lot bigger than his age even within the clan and their enhanced growth speed.
He decided to test his son and asked " what is it you want to train for and why?" He asked out of curiosity too but mainly to test him to see if he had the right mindset when it came to gaining strength.
Dane put on a thoughtful expression before speaking again to his father resolutely " I realize that we are in bad times In the clan since we are constantly on the move until recent years and I want to be ready for what ever comes so I can stand beside you when the time comes for battle"
Rag-Thane and the others were in awe at Danes Bravery and resolve. His mother began to cry happy tears to have birthed such a son.
Rag-Thane looked over to his father and Brother who both had the same expression of seriousness as he. He nodded to them and they nodded back.
He turned back to his son and spoke " we shall train you Dane, you shall become a great warrior and protector for the Clan!" He said with a proud smile.
Dane in turn Grinned wildly before he jumped up from his grandfathers lap and ran into his fathers arms and yelled " Thanks Papa! " in a happy voice.
Everyone smiled at this and Dalm slowly stroked his beard whilst thinking of a good way to train this boy.
