Sweat poured quietly down as Jennifer digs out a path a little further into the ground. Alongside her are a couple villager woman and a couple of the kids. They use handcrafted tools.
...
The food was delicious in fact - Jeffery ate with his hands as was custom. it was a mixture of rice and a soup of sorts. There were a lot of things like meat, tomatoes and others that he couldn't quite tell.
After paying the owner they left the small cafe and started walking past some other stores to the car.
"ooh," Sarah spoke as they past buy a small store of jewelry and walked inside, "i wanna buy a bracelet...you guys go ahead."
Seth looked at Jeff which basically said, 'girls, am I right?'
Jeff was about to wait there with Seth for Sarah when he had a thought. After seeing all the street vendors and foods.
"Hey," Jeff had a thought, "shouldn't we get something for Jennifer to eat?"
"haha..." Seth replied, "she's probably going to eat at the village..."
"Oh... okay," he said slightly disappointed. He did think it would be nice to bury the hatchet.
Seth sighed,"ahhh... but if you really want to- maybe you can get her a snack or something... you should probably get more than just her though..." Seth handed him a note of the local currency. "i'll help you pick it out- but since it's your idea, you should pay me back with interest - haha."
Jeff smiled and looked around. He slightly wondered if Seth would actually make a killing on loans by the end of the tour.
"If this is how it's going to be at the end of the- you should make a killing off me by the end of this."

"Yeah, i plan for everyone to owe me the ten grand they get for completing the tour, haha," Seth smiled jokingly, "there's no way that'd happen, though... the currency isn't worth anything to the USD here. You'd probably owe me the equivalent of fifteen dollars max..."
---
After touring the shops for something to get- they arrived back at the village. Seth waved to the oncomers as they got out of the jeep. The kids rushed up again to see them. They were all quite cheerful as if they were the best thing since sliced bread.
It had already gotten almost evening.
They unloaded the barrels of water and replaced the old ones with it. The villagers seemed very interested and it seemed that many of them already started using the water as soon as they brought it.
"Hujambo," Jeff spoke to the familiar older gentleman from before, "Jennifer, iko wapi?" (hi, where is Jennifer)

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.
