Barsoom and the Tharks

Chapter 1

I'm a Thark. A green tall creature with 4 arms and tusks. I live on Barsoom, also known as Mars. Long ago I met a human called Virginia, but he claimed his name to be John Carter. He saved us , married the princess, then left us. I remember my first moment with him. I was scared, and so was he. But let's get on with our story.

My name is Jeddak. I am just another common Thark on Barsoom, but that will change. I was walking back to my shelter from getting supplies when there was a huge boom. I stopped, not knowing what had happened. Soon Tharks were cheering for someone. What was going on? Soon I saw a human. He had long dark hair, a beard and a mustache. I knew who he was. John Carter. He came back to Barsoom. But how?

" Virginia! It's me, Jeddak!". He looked at me and said, " Jeddak, you know who I am. I am dead."

Then he fell. He was injured on his arm; a huge cut ran across it. He needed help. That's when I stepped in. I looked at the wound, and saw some strange liquid around it. Poison, it has to be poison. "I am here. Don't worry, I'll be right here.
