We didn’t get along with the Summer village, but we did get along with the Spring Village. Our part of the land’s leaves were always red, gold, yellow, or brown. We usually get moderate weather with few cold fronts. The Winter Village had holidays as well as us. We never shared the year, and once every four years, its autumn. Lia, our leader and my sister, never understood the Division. She thinks the world has fallen apart. I am Evelyn, a young leader-smart girl who lives in the Autumn village. “Ms. Liona,” the servant would screech, when Winter Village was at war, “you need to help Ms. Armada.” Lia would automatically respond ” I don’t war with Taylor. Leigh does. I war with June, which is common among Leigh Armada.” My friend Tina preferred to fight for the Autumn Leaf Army (fighting for Autumn Village). It was a Summer Year, when the fighting stopped. June came out with the Summer Sun Army to fight. She threw a spear at the No Man’s Land between my village and Winter Village. That’s how she signals that the Summer Year started. Leigh hates Summer Years, so she came out to war the Summer Sun Army. ” You warm- loving freaks,” she would always say, and June would throw something at her. Then June uses all her sun-lover powers to warm up No Man’s Land. That day was different. Instead of throwing, she went and TACKLED Leigh. The 240 who usually war with each other came out, watching the wrestling match. I remember Taylor shouting, “That is insane, even for June!” Lia shouted back, “I know right?!” I just hugged my bunny friend, wishing things would get better. Tina came out, shouting something to me. I looked behind myself, and I saw the craziest thing I saw in my life.It was June’s daughter, tackling me from above. I reached up, both hands in the air. Being a peaceful Villager, I had no idea what to do. Then all of a sudden, I simply caught her! She kicked the air a few times, then pulled my hair. Now THAT is my no-no area. I swirled her around twice, then threw her back to the Summer Village. Now June was mad as hot fire. She tackled me next, then Lia got in on the act. Taylor rushed over, screaming at both of her friends. Crack! Lia broke June’s leg, forcing the Summer Village’s leader to retreat. Leigh finally looked over, just to see- the biggest attack on MY VILLAGE that the Summer Sun Army had ever planned. The Autumn Leaf Army couldn’t counterattack. “Evelyn, our Village has no hope,” Tina finally exclaimed. “No, it can’t lose,” I responded bravely. “If Lia has powers, and Leigh has powers, we can save our village.” “Well then, Enti Armada,” Taylor said, “Save the World” meaning our village. I thought: Leigh+Lia=safety. And nobody could defy me more than June Baptize herself. I rushed to Leigh and told her my plan. She ran to my sister and said, “Enti Armada. We can save our poor world.” They started to radiate, with cold air mixed with moderate air. Could unison be our only hope? They threw their combination at the Summer Sun Army, and being blinded with frost and wind, they retreated. June promised to make a better compromise, and that’s how every 3 months is a new season.
