It was early in the morning the next day after my party. "Today begins the", what my Father and my Uncle call, "real challenges." I do mean that as a joke. My Father told the challengers that, when he picked me up off of the beach last night. When dad carried me back to my cottage last night, my Uncle announced it to the entire tribe before saying now go get some sleep. This morning My Father and my Uncle awoke me by announcing, "Today starts the real trial's Sereia, time to get up!"
I had a horrible time waking up! My Father teased me, "Well Sereia, if you would not tease the boys so much during these trials. You might not be so tired."
