eshans life, by aaron roldan [early reader books .TXT] 📗

Day one: one night in the desert
It’s hard walking in this harsh desert. The night sky watching over us, all we could do is pray to the god of the night, the harsh sand blowing in our faces. The tribe’s leader calls my name “ Eshan come here.” I did as told. My dad the great Amir, i am next in line to be the tribe’s leader. But for right now I’m the herder for the tribe. “yes father.” I asked. “I want you to take the herd somewhere safe, We’re going to enter battle with another tribe.” “why don’t we just go around?” I questioned him. “Because they won’t let us through now go Eshan.”
12:00 pm that same day.
There they go I thought, as I watched my clan go against another clan I watch the bloodshed in the cool desert night. Wait I see another part of the other army coming towards me. I think only four or five are coming. I need to get my bow and start to fire now. I missed my shot, here they come. The opposing clan comes hard I got one in the neck. One down. The other got me in the back with his fist. Then I grab my sword and slash. Blood flew every were. Two more. I throw my handy dagger at one an nail him in the head. One more. He got me im gone im going to the after life.
8:00 am Wednesday
I wake in the desert with nothing but my weapons. My herd dead, I have an open wound great WAIT where’s my clan I’m alone in the desert I have to make it pass the coastal plain and finally through the mountains and through the rest of the desert good luck.


Day two: through the Coastal Plain
I’m resting in a tent I made from supplies I bought in the in the local town. I also bought herbs from the local healer for my open wound. I miss my clan a lot. i hope I can catch up. Brrrrrrrrrrr I just caught a wind from the breeze it really pretty out here Im thinking of coming back. I’m coming right back there’s commotion outside.

10:00 am that same day
I caught a praying ceremony I can see all kinds of tribes coming to pray under one roof its real a cool sight how they can sit there a pray together like nothing has ever happened. Is my clan there I hope. I went like a stupid to go check and…………………………. They’re not there I should of know they’re probably already in the mountains in to go buy food from a farmer nearby.

1:00 pm the same day
I found a farmer and asked him for food he said no. Okay I thought. I said will you trade 1 days of work for some cattle and some food. That spoke to him he said yes and I worked for him for about and hour and thirty minutes. I collected what my work was worth not much. I went through the harbors where I found money on the ground. Yay I have another desert to go through I hope there’s an Oases nearby to relax and view the scenery before I leave I want to remember what it looks like here. The cool breeze hits your face, the oceans view is magnificent, the harbors coming in and out of the city, all the people talking about there lives in the center of the town, and now its time to leave its sad but im not made to live here in need to get back to my clan is all I have to look forward to.


Day three: the oases
Im here in the oases I can see farmers nearby from the sand hill. My herd well my only sheep is exhausted so am I. Im almost there finally im here. The oasis is humid but not hot. The farmer looked at me strangely and said “ what are you doing and if you are going to stay you need to work go and tend my sheep” he said. “Okay” I replied. So now im here in the farm tending his sheep not really but writing in here
Hours of labor later
I’m here eating with farmers and the other nomads protecting the farm I feel bad I’m going to take his sheep and flee with weapons and pray to the night god I wont die.
Two hours later 6:00 pm
I need a diversion so I could get a way there start a fire and make way with the sheep so I can make way to the mountains and reconnect with my clan here it goes.
Three kills and a one diversion later
Okay im resting on a camel from the farmer and 25 sheep twice of what I had when I lost all of herd that fateful night I think I wrote of what happened when I blacked out im starting to get my memory back. Oh yay I forgot to tell Oh yay I forgot to tell you I killed three people with my bow and arrow all with one arrow each. I liked the oases the green palm trees everywhere the nice well and the cool water inside the nice farmers who lived there maybe my own clan can protect an oases so I can stay at one day.


Day Four: The Mountains
Im almost there the mountains the fog is heavy and its cold. My wound hurts im writing before I go into the mountains and before I reach my clan. Here I go but I fear this is the last time I may write for my wound is infected and only my clan can help. As soon as I make it I can heal and share my story about how I went through all the geographic features. Here I go.

Two hours through the mountain with my herd of the farmers herd.
Im almost there I hope I can make it my wound has puss coming out I think it’s infected. My hand the left one is going to have frost bite and I cant feel it at all. I need help bad.
Where are they?
my body is shutting down my heart beat Is speeding up I cant take it any more my herd all of them died and they all died because the died of lack heat they froze to death. But im still writing wow. How many hours do I have left. I took a look at my wound I never knew it was on my stomach. It hurts like im burning up. All I could ask is where are my clan at?
My last hour.
This is where im going to die my left leg went numb two hours ago. my left arm is died and all I could do is look at the mountains
Losing my life
Dying isnt that bad at all its kind of peace full. Im writing blindly and I cant hear anything at all. Eshan is all I hear I think it’s the moon god calling me home again all I remember is the mountains cold, tall, dark harsh and unforgiving its helpful to know that the mountains are cold…………………………….
