    In a distant Indian island called Faith, ...

     

     ...where Native Indians remained for many years, Maiwenn, daughter of Dowa and Leyla lived as a slave in her own family. She had to do all of the chores in the tipi and on their parcel of land. She also had to hunt with the men of the tribe as she was the wisest of them all and knew the best how to get around their land because she was always outside exploring in her minimum spare time. She was known as the silent girl because she didn't say much but dreamt a lot. Maiwenn had lovely long brown hair and it was always attached with a feather and some straw, her eyes were as green as emerald and had little blue dots as she turned near the sun. As you all know Indians had strong believes in spirits and nature. They cherished it and preserved every bit. As they used to say : “The Frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives”, in other words humans should not take of granted nature and it's gifts. Maiwenn had a particular passion for inventions: she loved to create things with bits of wood, straw, feathers or even mud. She spent most of her time alone, cleaning, dreaming or creating. Dowa and Leyla had another daughter,Weila, two years after Maiwen and she contrasted a lot with the first daughter. She didn't do anything for her parents or for the land and she just slobbed around all day. She was known to be chatty and nasty. Weila, had short black hair,brown eyes and a beauty spot on the tip of her lips. The two daughters were the most beautiful girls of the land and every family that had a boy of their age wanted them to marry their son. Maiwenn was mostly hidden so she didn't get to know anyone. She was also not seen as the nicest one of the two although she was the wisest and the kindest. Weila was the perfect girl to her parents because her ambitions were not as big as maiwens and they knew that she would take over their land and her future husband too. Maiwenn had a big dream that she kept secret: she wanted to travel the world and discover new cultures.

    Day after day, always the same ,cleaning, hunting or cooking, went by but maiwenn pursued her plans and dreams and decided to draw a map of how to get out of the island. She hid it near the beach and put straw, leaves and special powder therefore it could stay as it was for a long time. Her sister was always going round the tipies to talk to all the village so that she would be seen by all. Maiwen didn't really hate her sister as she did. In fact, she couldn't even hate her parents because she was to full of kindness to do so. One night after a hard days of cleaning Maiwenn went outside to watch the stars. It was April and there were a lot of shooting stars. She always made the same wish each time as it went by. While, maiwenn was outside, Weila sneaked in the woods and went to the beach. There, she found a pile of straw and some powder she recognized. Weila found it suspicious and started digging it up. She discovered Maiwenns map and knew straight away it was hers. At first, she didn't understand what it meant precisely but she finally said to herself that it must be a map to escape.
