Lional Hills

Leo walked back to his village with the basket of apples. It was summer and all the apple fields were full of trees. The trees bared red, juicy apples. He sat down next to the fountain, resting. A girl popped up from behind him.

"Oh, hi Lea," he said happily. He picked up and apple and tossed it to her. She caught it easily and took a bite. Leo also took one and they munched them together.

Lea had the softest tail of all the celestials, Leo thought. Although she was beautiful, Leo only liked her as a friend. Lea thought the same of him. You see, Leo and Lea were not normal kids, oh no, they were Celestial Kids and belonged to the lion clan. The great lion Leo was their god and Leo had been named after him. In the world of Celestials, each baby born from each month, took the form of their star sign. Leo and Lea, of course, were Leo. They had a friend, Peru, who was born as a Pisces took the form of a fish. All the residents of Lional Hills were Leo, and all shared the same love for harvesting their crops.

"So," Lea said, munching her apple, "what's the action?"

"Err, there's not much, only these apples. I have to take them to my mother, you wanna come?" Leo replied. Lea nodded in response and followed him to the cave in which his family lived. His mother greeted him and he set the apples onto the floor.

"They certainly are ripe this year," Leo's mother said, looking at the apples, "what are you two going to do now?"

"Well, I was going to go and have a swim in the river," Lea said, "you wanna' come Leo?"

"Sure"

And then they set off into the forest to find the stream.
