AA CAE: Nevalunaria

I am Nevalunaria or as I'm more commonly know Luna. My mother is the Bemy Shyharallanee now of the Tyler tribe and my father is TsenRika. My mother met my father when he came to our tribe the many years before I was born. His visits were few and far between, but he always made and effort to see my half sister Ada and myself. My sister seven years older then myself, had and still has quite a firm attachment to my father that even to this day I can't quite fathom. Perhaps it was because I had my Uncle Nyro to fill father's place when he was gone, that my attachment to our father was not as strong as her's. I do remember when I was much younger being excited to see him, when he would show up to our tribe before the move. He would spends time with us playing and teaching us skills like how to read and write. Ada loved to learn from father, but I have to admit I had more difficulty with it and often envied how well she was at it. To this day I enjoy seeing father and hearing of his travels.

My family, Ada, her mother, her grandmother and I have not always resided in the Tyler tribe as we do now. In 2527 when I was born our tribe was already falling apart at the seams, my grandmother our Shaman had passed away a few years prior and with the loss of our Alpha and Beta it was decided it was time to more on. I was eight years old when we joined the Tyler tribe. I was then that I met my Aunt Matla our new Alpha and her mate. I was also surprise to learn I now had many new playmates. It was my cousin Quet whom I became very close to even though she was older then myself. I enjoyed her company and loved when she would find time to play with me, I soon found myself becoming jealous when she would spend time with the other children and her friend Hart. Looking back, I have to shake my head at how bratty I became when I was jealous especially to Hart. He never seemed to get angry about it, but my behavior was down right rotten. My Aunt notice this behavior early on and decided to have a talk with me about it.

"Luna could I have a word with you?" I blinked but followed after her, she lead me to a quiet place where we would not be interrupted and knelt down to look me in the eyes.

"I've notice that you are very fond of Quet, which is a good, but because of this, you get fussy, when she shares her attention with others. You are not a little pup any more and you should understand that in a tribe every member needs to work together. Quet needs to be in contact with ~all~ of the tribe, not just one member." She scolded making me lower my gaze to the ground. I began to feel guilty about the way I acted and apologized to my Aunt and she shook her head.

"I'm not the one who deserves an apology, I suggest you go tell that to Hart and I don't want to see you act like that again. Do you understand, Luna?" Matla said firmly causing me to look at her and nod.

"Yes ma'am." I said and I walked off, pouting a bit about being scolded, after she stood. My Conscious soon got the better of me and I sought out Hart. I remember I found him with a distant look in his eyes as if he were looking at something, though I could not see what that would be. He blinked and shook  his head when he heard me make a noise to get his attention. He looked over at me and offered a friendly smile as he always did when he saw me and tried to make friends.

"Hello Luna, if you are looking for Quet I believe she is doing something with the others," He smiled faded and turned to a questioning look when I shook me head. Finally taking a deep breath I spoke.

"I'm sorry for how I was treating you," I said waiting worried he would not accept, but I was surprised when I heard him chuckle and he ruffled my hair.

"Apology accpeted on one condition," He said with a smile.

"What?" I asked tilting my head.

"That you be my friend," He replied. I smiled widely and nodded as I sat down next to him. From that day on I made sure to try and keep from getting jealous, besides it was more fun to hang out with everyone.

With time I soon began to grow and interest in the tasks my Uncle Nyro preformed and went to Alpha Matla to ask if I may become a  scout.

"Alpha, May I speak with you?" I asked and waited for her to acknowledge me. She turned and looked to me.

"Of course Luna, What do you wish to speak with me about?" I took a deep breath gathering my courage before speaking.

"I'd like to be come a scout, like uncle Nyro if that is possible." I said and waited while she thought about what I had asked.

"Don't see a reason why you can't, you will have to have one of the our scouts train you," She smiled to me, " I expect you to work hard." I gave her a smile and an enthusiastic nod.

"Yes ma'am and thank you." I said and hurried off to find uncle Nyro. I found him getting ready to go out on a scouting trip. He saw me and smiled to me.

"Hello Luna, what brings you here," He said pleasantly.

"I've gotten permission, from Aunt Matla to become a scout. Will you train me?" I asked hoping he would. He chuckled and ruffled my hair.

"Get ready to head out, lessons start today." With that I grabbed my gear and went out with him on my first lesson. I continued to go out with my uncle and soon became very adept in finding game trails and different food sources for the tribe.
