On An Island

Nativity

"Well then, I'll be there soon."

The bearer of news came out of the room followed by a Chief named Oryza Sativa. Cresen is placed into a place made of rattan. It has a rope to carry. Cresen was brought in with it. They are heading somewhere wide.

There were many bonfires that formed a circle. There are seven bonfires. Cresen began to be vigilant. When he was about to be removed from the rattan basket, he held the rattan basket firmly. He would not let go of his hand and held his body in the basket.

"See this boy! He's funny, right?" oryza Sativa.

The people there laughed. Cresen's face turned pale.

"This time I'm really done!" inner Cresen.

Seeing Cresen's face change, Oryza let go and left him in the basket for as long as he wanted.

"Tribal head, the woman is already in the well" said a woman who had bathed Cresen.

He peeked at Cresen from the slit of the Chieftain's arm. Then he approached Cresen and poked his cheek. Cresen pulled his face. He doesn't like to be touched by them. So too with that woman.

The chief and the woman went to a place. In that place a woman was sitting on a rock that was in a well. Well water gives off steam. But the woman did not feel hot. So he doesn't try to get out.

The chief went into the water. Check the part of the woman's body that was submerged in water. Then give a cue to the woman who bathed Cresen. Reading the spell and the woman soaking in the well biting a rattan stick. Resisting the pain, when something lifeless comes out of the part of his body that is submerged in water.

A baby girl was born after that exhausting struggle. The baby was as small as a normal baby at the birthplace of Cresen. A few seconds later, it grew rapidly.

His body size changes every second. The water starts to recede. And after the water had dried up completely, the baby had become a girl. Although her body size changed but her hair did not grow on par with her body. Her hair is very short. Just like Cresen's hair and people locked up in a wooden cage.

The girl was lying at the bottom of the dry well water. The Chief took it. Then give it to the woman who gave birth to the girl. She opened her eyes when the woman who gave birth touched her cheeks.

The chieftain and the woman who bathed Cresen smiled happily.

"Finally after 1200 full moon there is the birth of a baby in our midst in large numbers" said Oryza Sativa.

"Yes, you're right" said the woman who bathed Cresen.

"What name would you give him?" ask Oryza Sativa.

"I'll name him Mangifera Indica!" said the woman who had just given birth was full of vigor.

The girl was wrapped in leopard skin. And brought to the place where the bonfire was burning. It is placed on a pile of wood lined with leaves. The goal is for the newborn child to feel warm. Because his skin is still too thin.

And after the movement that Cresen said resembled a possessed person it stopped. The newborn child was taken to where he was. And the child's bed is now burned.

All the wood of the campfire that encircled the bed of the newborn child was pulled and moved. Become one with the wood of the child's bed. To make a bigger bonfire.

The chieftain sat on his throne, and Cresen was placed with his basket among the people he had been locked up with. At the sight of Cresen the woman biting Cresen's ear approached him. But before he could touch Cresen who was hiding in his basket, the Chieftain told someone to take Cresen to his throne.

Then a man came to bear a crocodile that was lifeless. And it's been skinned. Then put it on top of the pile of leaves. The people who were there immediately divided the crocodile body parts. Then put it on a twig. And roasted it on the coals of fire.

After feeling the crocodile meat has cooked everything. The fire was sliding and there was a pile of ash. And under the pile of ash there are leaves that are still green, even though the top part has been partially burned.

Leaves that are still green are scattered and the tubers appear to emit smoke. Because of the heat of the fire and the embers burning on it. The tubers are picked up and transferred to new leaves. So did the meat that was roasted.

So the crocodile meat and tubers were given for the first time to the Chief. And then shared with others. Cresen also got parts. Which was placed outside his basket. Because he was hiding every time he saw someone approaching.

The meat was eaten by the Chieftain in front of everyone. As a sign that you can eat. And finally the others ate.

The Chief gave a large piece of meat to Cresen. But Cresen went back to hiding in his basket. The chief laughed at his behavior. Then continue the meal. He eats a lot of meat. And only a little eat the tubers that are part of it.

The next event the people who were there chewed the same leaves. With some material on it. Which eventually makes their black teeth become blackish red.

The same thing was done by the Chief. While observing the Cresen basket. Someone approached. Take leftovers that have not been touched by Cresen.

"He hasn't eaten yet, just leave it there!" oryza Sativa.

"All right then. Do you not join the others. They said they would dance together. And want you to join in," said the man.

"Of course, I will also join you guys," said Oryza Sativa.

The man and Oryza Sativa approached the group. Then some of them hit bamboo, wood, stone and that could make an irregular sound. Then the others will move according to the rhythm captured by their sense of hearing.

They seemed to have fun with a rhythm similar to that of a person at war as well as movements that resembled a possessed person. So no one noticed that Cresen peeked out from the crack of his basket. Then stick out his hand and take the tubers that are located next to his basket.

But before he ate it, he felt a shadow of someone approaching him. His feelings said he was in danger.

Seriate...
