Tawa's life in a village

Tawa pics Here

Tawa had just reached her 14th birthday and was wondering what to do. Both her parents were master doctors. Her fathers name was Peku and her mother a beautiful blond was named Titaua. Tawa had the same colour hair as her father a brown, but she liked to die her hair purple. Tawa got on with her dad better than her mom Tawa decided to buy new clothes as she had got fed up with the old blue and pink dress her mother always dressed her in.

Tawa always wanted to study medicine like her parents and as soon as she chooses her dress which was a pretty yellow dress decided to study medicine. Tawa had no skill to start off to study medicine, but soon picked up the arts and soon gained a skill. Then Tawa thought is this I really want to do and asked the guiding hands advice and the guiding hand said why you don't have a go at farming. So Tawa, went to harvest some fruit and found it easy job, but found it too boring. So the guiding Hand said how about doing researching, but found that a bit too hard and besides too dangerous. In the end Tawa then knew medicine was what she really wanted to do and want back to study medicine. Tawa quickly became Adept Doctor. This was achieved after 6 Isola moons and Hula was very pleased with her progress and she took a will deserved holiday.

Tawa had to do her other chores and went to wash the laundry and then she went to enjoy the bath as she felt she needed to refresh after working hard at her studies. Later went back to study medicine.

Tawa at 14 had a curious mind as she was always liked to see how things worked and liked to look at how things were made so she would go and take a tour round her village to view things. On this occasion Tawa went to take a look at the bath to study its beauty and the way it was designed. After looking at the design of how it was made, Tawa could not resist taking a dip and went in to have a swim.

It was back to work again.



Chapter 2

Tawa wanted a change of scene as she had now worked very hard at her studies and so she decided to try a spot of fishing as she had some skill. After several attempts to catch a fish and the fish seem not to be biting give it up as a bad job and want to look at them instead. She could see how the other farmers how they caught the fish and maybe she would try their way next time. Tawa after watching and looking at the fishies went back to study medicine.
Hina her work mate another female age 57 was an Esteemed Elder; Master Doctor, A Master Scientist and a Master Farmer was her teacher and help Tawa with the basics of medicine, said, 'I told you to take a break you been studying now for several hours, so go on girl and take a break.'
'I know and I tried to do some fishing and failed to catch one.'
'I know, but you're a quick study and will soon lean the art of fishing, don't worry every one fails at first. Hina Explained.
'I know but I did catch a fish the first time I want fishing, I guess it was just a fluke.'
Hina said. 'I could give you some tips on how to catch the fish. So come on lets go fishing, to give you a break from study.

Hina was Tawa's monitor and was grateful to her, and she was right she needed break as she kept making mistakes. So Tawa went along with Hina to fish Tawa tried to follow what Hina did she made it look so easy. Hina just tickled the fish and the fish just come to her and then she just caught it in her hands and then kept hold of it. Then Tawa did the same, but as she tried to catch hold of the fish it escaped. Hina just laughed and then after the feeling of disappointment of not catching the fish, laughed with her. Then she tried again and this time she managed to keep hold of the fish and Tawa walked back with Hina to the granary to deposit her fish. Hina said to her will done it won't be long before you become a trainee farmer. Tawa after fishing, walked to the cemetery to relax as it was very quiet. Tawa knew that Hina had fully mastered her triad in farming in her late teens and want on to study medicine and science and became masters in them.

During her studies it take a few years to get to Master Doctor she was several grades away when she reached her 15th birthday, her study comrades celebrated Tawa's birthday and they had a small family party. It was not a big party as villagers don't celebrate birthdays much until their 18th, but Tawa was rather special and her workmates told her to take a long holiday.

Tawa's holiday

Tawa on her holiday from work first looked at the sites, such as admiring and amazed of the statue, and then she went to enjoy the orchard. Something to eat before she went to enjoy the bath. After awhile, she could not think what else to do as she was not due back to work for another week. In the she decided to have a go at fishing, she knew it was work, but it was a change and she remembered how the master farmers how they caught the fish and put it to practice and was please with her progress after she succeeded catching a fish. She deposited it to the food granary and wants to catch some more fish and was pleased to find she had become a trainee farmer. Tawa wondered that maybe one day she might become an Esteemed Elder like her grandmother, but she needed to master 3 skills and she had not mastered medicine yet and she just sighed.
Tawa on her holidays went to go swimming in the bath again and relax in the orchard each day, Tawa did this.

Back to work

Tawa knew her holidays would be over the following day and she felt a bit lonely so she went up the path to sit alone, Tawa was glad that the chief Omawa was not here as she wanted to be alone. The chief was now 70 years old. Omawa had been a chief since the age of 60 that was when Tawa was just 5 years old at the time when she was one of the children guided by the guiding hand to try on the robe. She remembered the celebrations the adults had put on. Tawa's grandmother Morea age 75 she was a doctor and she remembered how she use to try and encouraged her to study medicine. Had just died as one of the villagers had informed her after the chief had buried her. This was the reason of her feeling down. Tawa want back to work the following day and her work comrades give commiserations on her lost and Hina said why don't you take a day off and come back tomorrow.'
No I'd rather work, I feel better working, explained Tawa.
'I tell you what Tawa, let us both go for a walk together to enjoy the orchard.'
Tawa said, Yes I would like that feeling glad of the company and Tawa and Hina walked together to the orchard.



Chapter 3

Tawa was 16 when her a male work acquaintance Natali become a master doctor already and she still not reached that status who was the same age of her and she realised that he had been studying medicine a one moon longer and she felt that she must be a bit behind, but then he was a few moons older than she was and she knew she had to work a lot harder. However she still not far off from mastering healing and she thought to herself that she did not concentrate as much as she thought she did. Natali told her he might take up fishing and will better in that. Tawa's other work mate who was Gamey was 21 and was a Master farmer had started to study medicine the same day she started and they were at the same grad as each other, Tawa liked Gamey and Gamey liked her and they both got on well. Gamey liked playing, but he did not like crowds.

There had been 3 more deaths that Tawa heard that Pio and Raiatea both doctors had died age 77 and a female a scientist Lava age also 77. Tawa knew of them but not in conversation.



Chapter 4

Tawa had not spent much time studying medicine and she had just had her 17th birthday so she still not mastered medicine. Tawa found after Hina had helped her lot about fishing was half way to becoming Adept Farmer; she still sometimes failed to catch a fish but each time she would keep on trying until she caught one. Then she went back to study medicine.

Tawa 18th birthday

It was Tawa's birthday and she was feeling a bit let down as no one wished her a happy birthday. She went back to work studying medicine and every one seemed to be mean to her and she did not know why. It was like no one wanted to speak to her. In the end Tawa decided to take a break away from every body. Then Gamey said, she's gone lets get the her surprised party going before she gets back. All the villagers that were friends and family prepared the food and presents and even Natali felt sorry for been mean to her but he knew it was the only way to get her out of the way, so they could prepare her surprise party. Natali liked Tawa but knew she preferred Gamey and so he just remained distant from her. Natali would be 18 in a few moons and hoped by then he might win her over.

In the meantime Tawa want to cool off and went swimming then she did some fishing and she knew after doing some more fishing would become Adept Farmer from trainee. Tawa had still not mastered her skill fully in the healing arts and decided to go back to study.

Tawa was very surprised when she got back to find the villagers had prepared a surprise party that she started to cry and soon she was laughing and Gamey give her a bouquet of flowers. Tawa and her friends and family partied into the late evening that night Gamey proposed to her and they went indoors of the honey moon hut.



Chapter 5

Tawa has her first baby

Tawa felt she was the happiest villager in the tribe and was pleased to be having Gamey's baby. Tawa had to put her studies aside now until her baby was old enough to fend for it self and that would not be for at least two Isola years. Tawa loved her baby who had bright blue eyes, most of Isola babies had blue eyes, but every mom thought that it was only their baby who had the blue eyes and every villager let the mom's think that to save argument after all every child was special.

Naming the baby

Tawa and Gamey had a little girl and when she was 2 they named her Hula. Hula was a wise little girl and she loved helping others Hula had very wavy brown hair and her mom put purple ribbons in front of her hair. Tawa and Gamey found Hula was a special child as every villager got to know her as she very friendly with every body saying hello and like talking to everyone. Her work mates said that Hula was going to grow up to be special and would be talented in many ways. Little did Tawa know in more ways than one?

Tawa had just gained master status and become a Master Doctor just before she had a second baby which by then she was in her 20ties Every ond who she worked with congratulated her and even Natali she did not like give her a small kiss on her cheek and said 'will done you deserve it..'

Tawa had another baby and it was a boy, she named him Jam, but jam dad was Bico, There was also another male that liked Tawa as she was with another baby and her daughter Hula was now age 4 and her son Jam was age 3.



Chapter 6

The death of the chief

Omawa the tribal chief died age 80 and also Uto died who was a master doctor age 73. Uto use to help Tawa with her studies when she was working, and she missed him. At high noon all the tribe went to the funeral. It was a sober occasion as every one loved the chief, and the most popular chief in the tribe and the villagers hoped that the next chief to be chosen would be as good and as wise as Omawa.



Chapter 7

Who will be the next Tribal Chief?

It was time for the villagers to find a new chief and first the three oldest villagers tried on the robe but did not fit any of them. They were Ginger age 70, who was an Esteemed Elder, then Meza also an Esteemed Elder age 70. next was Palau a master doctor after some encouragement from Tawa saying I am 71 and too old, but it did not fit and Palau was very glad as he said, 'why not let your daughter try on the robe.'
Tawa said, 'No way, I don't want my daughter trying on the robe, I want her to have her freedom, and she's only 4 you know. Then unbeknown her daughter Hula was playing at the amphitheatre she was playing with her best friend Kitika and she said to Hula, 'I dare you to try on the robe!!'
No you go first said Hula and so Kitika tried on the robe but it did not fit. Just before Hula was going to try it on Tara pushed her daughter Papaya to try on the robe but it did not fit her daughter.

It was the turn of Hula to try on the robe, after Papaya had gone off to play and when she tried it on was surprised that the robe fitted perfectly and suddenly Hula was overcome with knowledge and understanding of what she had to do. Hula's best friend said WOW you are the Tribal Chief Hula and Kitika ran off to tell her mom and all the tribe all came to celebrate the give thanks to the chosen one, Tawa came running over to see who the robe had chosen to be chief and was shocked to find it was her daughter Hula was chosen to be chief, but before she could do any thing all the villagers kept on congratulating her on her 4 year old daughter been the chosen one and that they were saying, they always knew that Hula was distained to be the Tribal Chief and long may she rule.

Tawa's life is turned around

Gamey wanted to talk to her, but she kept saying, 'Go away Gamey I can't get my head round this,' Tawa said, 'I need to be alone to think.'
Gamey said, 'I understand, It a lot to take in our daughter becoming the tribal chief.' Then Gamey left her alone.

Tawa knew that now her daughter at such a tender age of 4 was a lot to take on and she needed to be there for her to make sure, she kept her childhood and played with her friends, things like running around, playing in the puddles, anything that kids do. Tawa realised now that her daughter was now the tribe's chief and thought to her I am a mother of a tribal chief, I just can't get my head round this. Tawa's life would never be the same again. Tawa then picked up her baby and could tell it needed changing, and she thought, will one thing at a time, as she went to change her baby.





Chapter 8

Life goes on

Tawa carried on been a mom and she noticed that her daughter was a lot more healthier and she carried her chiefly duties very well she still was very talkative and though her daughter was very picky over her food as she did not like eating much and Tawa was always very worried about her eating habits, saying she never eats a lot and Hula would tell her mom stop making a fuss. She acted so grown up for a 4 year old. Tawa was thinking that Hula must have thought she was grown up. Then Little Hula found herself tangled in vines by the bath but she did not cry been a chief thinking chiefs don't cry. One of the villagers saw that Hula was in trouble and called for her mother Tawa, Tawa came running and managed to untangle her daughter, and Hula said 'Your not angry with me mommy, I am sorry mommy.'
Tawa who was proud and also worried said of course I am not angry at you, you are the chief, but you are still my little girl, no matter what and I am please that you still need your mommy and Hula hugged her mom and said I love you mommy.
I love you too Hula, and don't go exploring by the bath again promised.'
'I promise, Hula said, Can I go and play now mommy?
'Yes.' Tawa said pleased that her daughter, made time to play.
