Tree Frog Archetypes

There once was god, Harry who was in charge of earth. He decided his holy one or prophet shall be a tree frog. Not just any tree frog. A tree frog that would be immune to age and or disease and sickness and the only way this tree frog, Dexter, could be harmed is by another human or animal, and if that we’re to happen oxygen would be deprived from earth. After Dexter had but put onto earth Harry decided to fill in the blanks and he created the rest of society. Many animals and humans were placed among earth to live in peace. For many era’s the tree frogs have been worshipped. Not to mention all the animals and humans co-existed with respect and loyalty to Dexter. Until a Cherokee tribe chief in Georgia ran into some trouble.

Rudy, the Cherokee tribe leader was out with some select hunters in search for a meal. When they seen 3 tribe members sprinting and yelling “Chief! Come now!”. Rudy immediately responded and asked what the commotion was about. One of the members said “ Its Joseph, he passed out cutting firewood and is laying down with a high fever” Rudy ran as fast as he could for his only son. When he arrived he seen over 50 members waiting outside of a tiki, he dashed inside. He seen

his son in intense pain and he asked “ Son, what happened?”.
His son replied” I was cutting firewood and there was a bush with red berries on it”. Sure enough they were snowberries, a berry that the cherokees we’re not immune too. If you eat snowberries you are ax good as dead, the indians never found a cure for that disease.

In panic the tribe chief , Rudy, left immediately in search for a cure. He went directly to his witch doctor and said that anything is necessary to save Joseph. She said there was a theory she had been working on. Rudy , impatiently demanded the ingredients so he can gather them to save his only son, the future Cherokee tribe leader. Bella, the witch doctor reluctantly gave in and explained the main ingredient can not be retrieved. Rudy questioned this then Bella told him the main ingredient is a liquid that is immune to all disease. Also the only way to get it is by killing Dexter, Harries prophet. In spite of the world he killed Dexter and ran back to Bella with the prophets course. By the time he got there ho noticed she was passed out on the ground and blue, and the only thing keeping him alive was the blood that touched his skin from dexter. He ran to his tribe noticing they all were dying and passing out, and the trees we’re losing color. He went in his sons tiki and and kissed him , and left. He knew he would have to sacrifice Joseph. He prayed in agony to bring Dexter back. In forgiveness Harry knew the Chief made the ultimate sacrifice, so Harry granted Dexter his life back. Although leaving the tribe devastated, Rudy knew his selfishness was not necessary, and that is not right to take a live to save one of your kins lives, because that life may not be important to you, it is too someone else.

This story contains about 3 different archetypes.

The first one portrayed was Harry, the supreme leader, god of all, he was the one who created earth and everything on it and has the power to do basically anything he wants. The next one would have to be the witch or mage, Bella, she is a witch who creates different healing potions or serums that can be helpful in different ways to the Cherokee tribe in which she is loyal to. The last archetype would be the hero, Rudy, he fits this description because when evil or chaos lurks he tries to find a solution to the problem. Though in this case he has to turn to a less hero-like answer, as most heros don’t kill the innocent, Rudy did so to save his son, later running into conflict and having to accept his sons fate to save the

world.
