Nirvatra

The Chase Begins

Swiftly she travels through the woods, scared to stop, and catch her breath. She has been running for what felt like hours. She had been doing all she could to outsmart her captors. She is aware that running back to her village would be a mistake. This is what they wanted; this is what they are hoping she will do.

Nalah is a Makah Nirvatran. Most Nirvatrans maintained a blue complexion. However, Nalah’s people could temporarily change their skin color to shades of purple and blue or replicate another’s skin tone. They rarely used this ability and maintained a vivid blue complexion like everyone else in their realm. They’re from a dying breed of Nirvatrans, fighting for the survival of their people. Nalah is also the daughter of the most respected spiritual leader of her village and surrounding villages.

She and others from her village were out on a hunt when she narrowly escaped Navah hunters who invaded her hunting camp. She knew these woods well; however, her enemy was determined to catch her. She knew what happened to the females they captured, and she did not intend to become one of their victims.
