testscript 1.0
„todays the day where i will start my journey, i will leave my family behind, i mean i feel sad but also liberated. i cant live my whole life with them in their forest on this tiny island, right? i know there is more out there, i will be a great fortune hunter. the fearless and strong chiusan.“
come to think of it, i dont even know if they are my real family to begin with, they dont look like me at all, their skin is snow white compared to mine, even our eyes differ. papa meant that i am unique and that he has never seen someone like me before „well aint it the truth i am pretty great after all.“ i burst out with pride
a familiar voice appears above me „ so you are already planning on leaving us just like that huh? i dont think you will make it out there, not a chance.“ he climbs down the tree „are you sure you dont want to stay with us?“
big brother seem to have listened what i was saying „cut it out, you are just jealous that i can leave this stinky forest!“
„the fearless and strong chiusan huh? its almost as if it happened yesterday when you ran to me and dad because of some thunder. you were crying like a little baby!“
big brother is always making fun of me, i will show him that i am no child anymore.
„before i forget it, dad meant everything is prepared, you can come now“ brother says while leaving.
no longer will i be a child, today i am a real woman, a real adult. here they are, everyones waiting for me. „Happy birthday chiusan“ all my friends and family welcome me full with joy. i waited so long for this to happen but now... now i feel as if i have lost something. i will leave them, i have to right? just a few minutes ago i was so sure about everything, but now... i feel how tears want to burst out of my eyes but i hold them back by squeezing my eye lids together.
„Chiusan we all know how you always act strong in front of everyone, its okay my dear.“ papa comes out of the crowd, he always knew when i felt troubled.
„papa i dont think i want to leave this forest anymore, i think i will sta-“ „no you will leave this forest my dear, it is your destination to venture out.“
„I think you have already noticed it, but we and you are a completely different species. i may not be your real father, but we will always stay your family.“
„you have to leave us to find your own purpose my dear...“
„man i cant stand this anymore!“ big brother hugs me „i dont want to let my stupid lil sis go, i will come with her if i have to!“ wow, its the first time i see my brother like this...
„no i forbid it, chiusan has to go alone.“ papa interrupts him „we made something for you“
my friends carry a big box to me. i hesitate for a moment before i open it, its a cloak! made out of the leafs and branches of this forest!
big brother is wiping off his tears „ so you always fell home ya know.“
the cloak fits me perfectly.
„its getting dark chiusan, follow me.“ papa is probably leading me to the old railroad, the only way off this island, everyone is following us. „over the years we did our best to raise you prepared for whatever you may face, we hope it was enough. this old train should bring you to the mainland, its best you start your journey from there.“
the mainland...
„But what will i find there?“ „a purpose, i am sure about that...“
„OI, if anybody harms you i will give them a few punches sis!“ everyone gathers around me.
„we will miss you!“
„dont do anything dangerous you hear me?“
„if you get back you better bring me something from your journey!“
i nod, it is clearly visible that papa is holding back his tears. i take a look at the rails that vanish into the horizon, with a heavy heart i enter the small train. „better pray its still working sis, or not i guess.“ shortly after the mechanical roar of the engine breaks the silence. „keep your butt in it and dont you dare to get out and swim back to us!“
as the train is slowly gaining speed i wave my family, friends and my forest farewell until they are no longer visible. i lay down on the ground and listen to the relaxing sound of the engine. and so my journey begins „the journey of chiusan, the great and fearless adventurer“
