Chapter 2: Meet the Hybrids
As Tulia prepares to speak, Karn enters the screen and scratches his head. "Hey Tulia, whatcha doing?". Tulia shook her head, "For Ode's sake... I'm trying to record something here, can you leave please?". Karn nodded, "Sorry miss. See you later". Tulia turned back to the camera, "So... where was I?".
Silpher is my best friend. We hang out a lot together. He's handsome, brave, strong. He has Gathskan, which makes him allergic to pollen during hot days. Thankfully the summer is over now, so he won't be sneezing too much for a while! We've known each other for a very long time, but I still regard him as a friend... at the moment.
Lorn is like our mentor, he's a dark shade of grey. He's the oldest of us, but only by a few weeks. He's the most mature and also the most intelligent. He's an excellent advice-giver and he always looks out for everyone else. Everyone has a lot of respect for him.
Ulric is the pack leader, or Alpha. We all know that Ulric is the strongest of all the males, so we always treat him with respect. He's excellent with weapons. After we took up weapon-crafting out of the wood and other raw materials, he's chosen to use spears. He's a dark blue colour.
Inna is probably my best female friend. She's flirty but really honest and helpful to everyone. She's the Alpha, along with Ulric. Those two get on really well together. I'm sure that Inna will probably approach him soon and ask him for something more than friendship... not sure how he'll take that.
Magnus, he's a bit like the dark meep of the hybrids really. We never really paid too much attention to him until he learned to master fire. We still don't know to this day how he managed it, but he can unleash fire from his hands. He's an orange colour.
Karn is the best at close-combat, but he's not really skilled with weaponry. He's a deep red in colour and his muscles are larger than most of us. He doesn't have a great range of skills though. We try and get him to help us with other things. For such a big guy he doesn't talk much.
Bron is even less outspoken though, it took Bron the longest to learn how to talk. He rarely talks to the girls much at all. He seems to have a stutter that's become a bit worse lately. He's a dark green in colour.
Hemm is quite funny, but at the same time, he can be annoying. He's quite full of himself, so he often taunts us and plays practical jokes. He's a dark yellow in colour. He's not that strong compared to the other male hybrids really, so he's mainly just a scout.
Dogol is well-mannered, but a bit of a coward when it comes to hunting. I think he needs a bit more confidence, that would help him out a bit. Maybe Bitsy can help him out, they get on well together. He's a dark purple in colour.
I talk to Riley quite a bit. She's nice and she often says the most out of the girls. Sometimes her talkativeness gets her into a lot of trouble though. She doesn't really know when to be quiet, but she respects authority. She enjoys cooking quite a bit as well, especially making soup and stew.
Bitsy is a unique character. She was the first of us to give up meat for food, at first I thought she was a bit loopy. She just didn't enjoy eating animals and now I can see why she would do that. She's pretty clever when it comes to mushrooms and plants, she loves making salads for us. She's also quite motherly and will often tend to our wounds first.
Lara is the girl with the lengthened eyelashes. She's the one who knows most about the local trees and wildlife. She teamed up with Lorn to research weaponry. She's probably the most intelligent of the females. I bet Lorn taught her a trick or two! She's currently cutting wood to make weapons, she'd better give me something good when she's done!
Well, that's everyone. Bye for now! Tulia waves to the camera and smiles as the camera pans away. Bron walks nervously towards the camera. "Is this thing on?". He taps the lens cautiously. He then walks away, shrugging.
