In The Treetops — Description
.... I honestly can't think of anything to write here about this picture, I've worked on it enough today to have my brain melt. I'll add a story to it later.

Anyways, this is one of the highest platforms of the Kerrmakya Village. They are were Spotters like Keuv sleep, high above the rest of the village, able to see for miles, carved right out of gigantic living trees. Fireflies are raised in open jars filled with their favorite foods, giving a mystic light in the tallest parts, easier on the eyes then the fire torches. On some days more fireflies are attracted them normal, increasing the light and causing the platforms to glow as if a part of the moons reflection on the wetlands below or a pale green echo of the fires on the artifical islands most of the pack lives on below.

There are no ladders or stairs this far up, So there is usually one thick branch several yards below the platform, and the spotters must leap up into the platform. Further down there are some pathways between larger community platforms and stairs leading around the bottom for the elderly, as well as the Chickee's on the islands where they raise their animals and grow the food for their animals (They are Carnivores rather then Omnivores, so what plant life that is eatten is grass for settling down upset bellies).

The little black and green girl is Toph (Meaning "Little Drum"), Keuv's Froggy Dragon pet. She's an insectivore like most pets of the Kerrmakya.

I did a lot of work researching the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes, but could findly find any information on them, but got enough to do the artwork on the wall and the fabric... And Toph's bed holds a traditional Seminole indian doll. Keuv doesn't use her platform that often, being on the move as the Spotter for the Melimika Scoutting pack, thus moving around a lot, so there wouldn't be a lot of stuff there anyways, other then her hammock and a few other knicknacks. She's not really that interested in material items.
