My dad and me went out and behide the house and my dad looked at me.

"Son we need to talk:" "yeah dad, you already said that." I told him with a smirk. He looked at me with stern expression."Son, this is serious! So behave and not one of you're comments!"

I was suprised. What is with that behavior ?! We always talk a little rought to each other, but we both know it's not serious. I just tried to lightn the mood, but he looked like he was really stressed out.

"So, for what are we waiting for?" "For you're mother boy." Ok now we're talking. Always, and I mean always, when my dad calls me "boy", I know either I shut my mouth and do what he say's or.... or... I never knew what would happen when I would go farther, but he always says it with such a tone, that you know to just shut up and do like you were told.

So we waitet in silence and waited for my mother. I wondered what this was all about. Did I something wrong? Did they found my secret treasure-hidout? Always when mom and dad were hunting and they forgot something, I would colect it. I know, pretty childish, but I was just so fascinated with the animals and wanted to know more about them. But my parents don't want me to collect this "garbage".

I had no time to thinkl more about it, because my mother came just out of the forest. We had a little lake close to our little wodden-hut, which we are using for bathing, and from the look ghow wet the hair from my mother was, she's been there a moment before. Now she was coming to in our direction with a blaster and a Vibroknice in her hand. When she was before me, she kneelt before me and spoke with a solemn tone:" Jar, today is you're 6th birthday, and with that day, you have to prove your worth. Today, you shall go in the forest and come back with an animal as your trophy, but it has to be a predator, to show your worth and that you are strong enought to survive in the big and dangerous galaxy."

Now that I didn't exspected. But I saw the solemn looks my parents had, so I said in a proud tone: "As you wish mother. I am going to make you proud." My mothe rlooked at me and had the hint of a smile on her lips " I know my son, I know

With that words she gave me the dagger and the blaster with the sheats for them. With one last look, they went inside. I stod there, completly alone, and I had just one thought: WTF

Just at this moment I got a notification:
