One Hour One Life Forums

I was Junipor Solar a third or fourht generation, I made pies for everyone like my mom had requested before passing, since the pies were next to the baby fire an the carrot farm, I naturally began to babysitt an raise the babys. My sister farmed and would bring me her children to feed. I eventually Had three four children of my own. Rose Tulip and flower and a boy who I can not remember his name. Rose an flower stuck close by an were born so close together they looked like twins. My young cousin who I raised began to have kids and came to me asking if I could babysitt so she could smith. I gladly accepted and loved passing by her kiln on the way for kindling to see all the tools she had made.
           
                We were a large population now and only two males. I noticed that our old farmer my sister wasnt around an the carrots werent getting watered I told Rose an flower to farm. I continued with my pies, I then went around telling everyone I was old an couldnt care for anymore babys and that they should inform the girls two kids max until the farm is better again. When I came to my daughters flower an Rose Rose agreed but flower who was about fourteen an would soon be popping out babys herself said "No" my heart broke. She was my little flower, I again said "yes just for now cuz the farm" She said "No four for everyone" "ten for me"..... I was torn we had a few baskets of pies to live off of until carrots grew back but if all the current females began to just follow flowers no baby left behind mentallity the Solar lineage would die out very fast.

         I went for the bow my motherhid for me to protect the village with, never did I imagine I would be killing my own child for the greater good. When I returned she was still going on about how many kids she would have talking to her sister Rose. I shot her. She looked at me "..." "I was joking". I replied "im Sorry" "not funny" I went next to her body to mourn my sarcastic daughter that I couldnt understand although I doubt she was joking honestly. " I said to Rose " she was going to be bad" Rose looked at me and said "I know" "lol MURDER!!" My cousin the smither came over with her new baby a boy I think she put him down saw the weapon and with no questions asked murdered me with a knife she had forged."you dont kill for no reason she said" siiiiiiiiigggggghhhhhh I said "why?! she was bad!" "I rasied you an your kids". She said "sure she was". I died.

              -To my daughter Flower Im sorry I did not see the humor in your joke in absence of a lol or a JK or XD, I thought I was doing what was best for the survival of the town. To my daughter Rose Im sorry you had to see that i know how close you two were, I hope you were able to tell my cousin the full story after I died. To my cousin the smither... I wish you would of asked what happened before pulling a knife on me, your first clue at the fact that I wasnt running away from the scene should of given you a clue that I wasnt on some killing spree. Was i really in the wrong??

I have had many villages I start fall into famine because a child I birthed decided they wanted to Smith instead of farm. They will turn my oven into a second kiln which I've come to learn pies are a must for a growing village just starting. Living off the berries an carrots alone quickly goes south. Pies make it so that you can hold out just long enough for those neglected carrots to seed or those watered rows to be ready. Why make two kilns and have no oven?? Just why? I'm not a huge smither but why have two kilns if your only a all family of four or ten? I feel like until food isn't an issue or constant worry one kiln will do just fine. No point in having an awesome smithing corner with all your little tools if you die an kill your whole village due to no diet diversity lol
