Forest Child
1. The name
When the forest child was born, she had to wait ten days for her name. Her mother, Dren, couldn't think of a suitable name for her. She knew her daughter was special, but no name quite fitted. It was always the mother who chose the name, and it always had been, due to tradition, but it didn't stop the child's father, Lek from making suggestions.
"Mel, Ren, Cara, Sara?" He would ask while they talked by the fireside, watching their only daughter sleep in her warm crib, which had been passed down through the generations.
Dren and Lek had four boys, and they were happy. Secretly, Dren had kept having children until she had a girl, so she could pass down all her knowledge. This made the Forest child even more precious.
On the tenth day, a traveling group of merchants passed slowly through the town, buying and selling as they traveled, stopping for meals, and for nights of tales and stories. It was noon. The group had stopped in the centre four streets away from Dren's home. The four boys rushed out of the door at the hearing of this news, even the little two-year old, Bej, who understood nothing went plodding along, following the exited brothers.
Lek ran after them, calling to Dren to stay with the baby. He hoped that she would find a name while she had time to think. After around ten minutes, Dren heard a loud knock on her wooden door. She stopped cooing the baby, and went to answer, thinking that one of the boys, probably Bej, had grown tired and come home.
