OOC - There's a prize for the Flashback week competition now, have a look here: http://ongoingworlds.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/flashback-week-competition/
Who: Efof Yuwan'Kar (12 years old) and his parents
When: Over 1000 years ago
Where: Ffion
It was 6 weeks later when Efof's Dad brought a girl into their home. It was a similar warm night, and again Efof had refused to go sing on the beach with the rest of the community. He looked up from his science book to see his father push a girl into the room, the same age as him. He didn't recognise her from his school, so she must be from a nearby village.
"Efof, I've brought someone to see you. This is Arwydd."
The girl lifted her hand to do a short wave, and nervously entered the room.
"Okay I'll leave you two alone... to get to know each other." His father said, totally unaware that this was an awkward situation. "We'll be out all night... so.... take your time. Feel free to.... explore each others bodies."
Efof buried himself deeper into the book, hoping his father would go away soon and not embarrass him any longer. Finally he did, making an excuse that his mother wanted him.
Arwydd sat down amongst all Efof's science books. "Wow you have a lot of books!" She said.
As a teenage boy, Efof should have been glad of a girl walking into his bedroom, but Efof was annoyed. Although he tried to find some common ground with her.
"Do you have any science books of your own?"
"No." Arwydd said. "But I've got this book about the sex-lion spirit, that spanks young girls for not masterba-"
Efof slapped his face with his fourth hand. "Fairy stories!" He said. "Why do our parents believe in so much rubbish?!"
Arwydd's eyes moved from left to right. "Erm... okay." A long silence was then interrupted by her saying "Do you want to fuck?"
Efof's eyes almost popped out of his head. It was a second before she was all over him, pressing her lips up against his, and pushing her four breasts against his body.
He pushed her away.
"Don't you want me?" She said, confused.
"I... uh..." Efof was confused by what was going on. He remembered his science book. "We're too young aren't we?" He said, picking up a book and flicking through the pages. "I thought you should only have sex when you are older, I'm only 12! I think I read it's bad for you.... I think we should wait..."
She scoffed. "No way! I've done it loads of times!" She went to kiss him again, but he dodged and tried to stand up but she was already pulling his shorts down.
"Get off!" He said, and pushed her back. "Can't we just... talk?"
She scowled, and then sat down on the floor with her arms crossed. "Boring! What do you want to talk about?"
"Err..." Efof showed her the science book. "Have you heard they're creating a space station? It'll be the first building Ffionians have ever made that isn't made out of bamboo!"
She didn't say anything.
"Don't you think that's exciting?" He asked.
"Not really." She said. "I know what's exciting. Take off your hat." She commanded.
Efof pulled the hat tighter around his head. "Err... no."
"Go on, I just want a look!" She said.
He flicked the page in the book and showed her a spaceship. "This is what's going up to the space station. Doesn't it look cool? I want to fly one when I'm older!"
The girl was quiet. Efof realised he wasn't getting anywhere, so put the book down. "So... um... what school do you go to?"
"Saint Bjork the fox spirit school of romantic chanting."
"Oh." Said Efof. "What do you do there?"
"Chant." Said the girl. "Romantically. Sometimes we play a harp."
"Oh." Said Efof, and was about to ask another question when she continued.
"My parents think romantic chanting will help me find a husband."
"Don't you learn about science?"
She shook her head.
"No, me either." He said. "Apart from the books. At school they just teach us about farming, so that I can be a farmer, like my dad, and his dad, and his dad."
"Don't you want to be a farmer?"
Efof shook his head, and looked at the picture of the spaceship. "I want to do... something else."
He walked to the window and looked out over the beach where he could see pinpricks of lights from lanterns where his family were sat. The melodic sounds of their singing was carried on the breeze and blended with the soothing sound of the ocean. It was paradise, but Efof had grown bored of it.
"There's got to be something more than this." He said.
"I never thought of that..." She said.
Efof turned to her. "Don't you want to learn more than about chanting?"
"We also play the harp."
"I mean more than both of those!" Efof said. "Don't you want to explore other places?"
"Oh, I've been to other villages." She said.
This is the first time anything she'd said had made Efof interested. "Oh really? What's it like?"
"The same." She said. "Bamboo houses, nice people, it's lovely."
Efof rolled his eyes. "I want something different. I want to go into space. I want to meet aliens!"
A few years later Ffion encountered their first aliens, who destroyed all the bamboo houses. A thousand years later, Efof finally got his wish and met his first alien. A curious species called a 'Human'.
