Last night (EST in the US), Drake and Josh West were born to a lovely mom named North West. Was her mom Kim Kardashian? They didn't know, but the village was not that prosperous. It had a forge and a mid sized berry farm. Mom told them that the village needed baskets and an oven. A crazy old aunt yelled at them for making omelettes and told them to farm instead. "Boys should farm."
"She's a weirdo!" Drake secretly told Josh.
Josh was obsessed with omelettes for a bit, then he saw a bow and wanted to make an arrow. Drake told him how. So Josh killed a wolf, three mouflon, and a boar with his one arrow. Meanwhile, Drake helped to farm, build an oven, and kept Josh fed as he ran around with his bow and arrow, killing animals. He kept asking questions like, "Can I kill a rabbit with this? Can I kill a penguin? What happens if I hit the bear cave?"
"Oh Josh," Drake thought. "Haven't we all tried to kill a penguin..."
Josh started asking what to do with the carcasses of all the dead mouflon. He wanted a knife to butcher it. So Drake crafted two knives, one for each. And also to help deter future griefers. Then they butchered the mouflons and took the mutton to the oven Drake had built. There some nieces and nephews who had started making pies, as well as continued the omelette making station. They gladly took the raw mutton.
Mom found Josh with the bow and arrow and asked him to kill her. Josh asked Drake, on the side, if he should. Drake said it was up to him, but he raced to try to be there to be a witness or to feed him if anything happened. But he couldn't find Josh. Meanwhile, Mom fed Josh just before he killed her, to help him. She confessed to killing others and said she deserved to die. Thankfully only one other person witnessed the kill and it was obvious that it was what North West had wanted. RIP Mom.
After that, Drake saw his older sister Southern building a sheep pen while caring for her baby. He decided to help. After all, they already had knives to cull the sheep. When they finished, she asked if he could bring back a lamb. Excited for a quest, he told his twin who still had a bow and arrows. Josh was even more excited to kill another mouflon. First they needed a rope to get the lamb. Drake had to go very far south to find four wild milkweed and then return north to find where Josh was wandering.
It took awhile to find a mouflon who was still alive after Josh's killing spree of them earlier, but finally one appeared. They tracked it until it had a baby, then it was dead and Drake was pulling the lamb toward the sheep pen. Southern had gathered bowls of food for the lamb, so he fed it after he released it. Soon it grew up and had a lamb of its own, which grew up to be a domestic sheep. The process was complete!
Now in their 50s, the twins hid their knives and went to the berry farm in the north. The village had various forms of food, many tools, and a sheep farm. They were well on their way to being a great town. They looked forward to farming in their old age.
But then Southern came to Drake and told him that a troll/griefer had been born. She was still a kid, but she was already wrecking havoc. He got his knife and went down to see what she was talking about. Sure enough, the kid had a pie and was running in circles trying to avoid anyone who might harm her. Whenever she talked, the background was in black, which indicated she had been cursed in a past life. So, clearly, nobody wanted her there. He tried to get her, but she wouldn't stop moving. He had to eat again, too soon. He was an old man after all. So ol' Southern picked up the knife and finished the job.
When the celebration ended, the twins again collected eggs for the town and ended their lives a bit earlier than expected due to all the clutter on the ground.
Looking back on the family tree, it went on for 7 more generations, which is pretty cool! I hope the future generations enjoyed all the sheep.
