Chapter Eight; Part Two

Three year passed and Atepa and Yap were happily married. Soon, Atepa held a little boy in her arms, eager to be named and run in the sun.
Meanwhile, Lala was annoyed that most of the attetion was going to Atepa. Ready to take the spotlight back, she prepared he annoucement for dinner.
At dinner, most of them were tired. They had discovered a metal piece. The builders now worked at the research table, researching until something came up.
Lala coughed for attention.
"Gesundhuit." one of the villagers responded.
"I have an annoucement."
"What is it?" another said, mouth stuffed with food.
"I'm going to have another child."
"Congratulations." called weary voices. lala frowned, knowing this was hopeless.

Hakea cleaned the wailing baby. Giving it a gentle kiss, she hannded her over to lala.
"Ugh. Look at this ugly thing." Hakea, who could never find anything ugly, gasped. True, the baby was dark skinned, tue that the red hair didn't match, and true she didn't look anything like her beautiful mother ofr her handosme father, but false to call her ugly.
"Bindi." Lala said, wrinkling her nose. Hakea gasped again, for lala had not given Bindi her last name.
Hiji entered the hut. He grinnd at the sight of another red haired child.
"What's her name?"
"Bindi." Lala said again.
"Oh." Hiji answered, trying not to ask why Bindi didn't carry 'Fire' in her name, but held his tongue, picturing Lala in her wrath. He had experianced many of Lala's anger, 'tantrums' as she called it.
Hakea had left the hut when Hiji entered. She ran to the diving rock and fell to her knees.
"Guiding Hand, show Lala how wroung she is with her daughter! Help Bindi grow up strong and wise, even without her mother." hakea pleaded. A wind blew and swirled around her, which Hakea took for as a good sign.
