Lighting went boom to the earth and in an flash the old tree that was there for years was gone. It had an long story its seen lives grow old an seasons change. It was loved by the wild life and ground around it, but one story it wanted to tell is the one am going to tell you. It was the beginning the time it was passed from an seed to the ground. Maya was an interesting child who loved chasing rainbows and keeping neat things she found in the forest. She wasn't much of an talker but she loved to sing as she went on her way. Maya's people didn't like their kind to go to far from the township because of bears and wolves an other bad things so they had planned to wall in their whole place to the river that lay to the left of the town an the hilly valley to the right side of the town so none could pass through but Maya, always found a way . It was one of her gifts as they where busy building the walls. They would see her go though an yell to her. Mayaaa! STOP IT NOT SAFE! COME BACK! But it was always to late. She giggled as she ran an disappeared in to the woods. It was an very beautiful place an she just had to go out to wilds of the forest an as she got older the more creative solutions to go outside of the walls she got. One day around her teen years an alder took Maya aside an said, I know you been going into the woods but you can not do it anymore if keep going we will have to call an town meeting on the matter an we will have to deal with you as you are of age to know right from wrong. Maya nodded saddly an walked back home but it was not long before her spirit told her to go back to the woods again.
