The mighty Tampen River originates from the Eastern Madre Mountains of the central highlands. It connects southward with the Lake Texcoco water system, while to the north, it winds and flows past Xilotepec and Suiqiu City, rushing downward into the territory of the Vastek people. Finally, this thousand-mile-long river surges into the seaside, forming a series of great lakes northeast of Otter City, ultimately flowing into the Caribbean Sea.
In Navajo, "Tampen" means otter. At this moment, however, this land of otter habitat has welcomed an uninvited guest with red hair.
"Whiz!"
A bone arrow flew out, swift as lightning, shooting towards an otter that had built its den between the lakes. In just an instant, the otter let out a shrill cry and died on the spot.
