To be a chieftain

In the world of Vamoose, humans have not dominated their ecosystem and developed technology because this planet is entirely jungle lands or deserts or mountains of ice at the poles. For a tribal and simplistic people, the idea of traversing the desert was such a dangerous and scary prospect while the harshness of the jungle only challenged them like any other animal, leading these backwards humans to stay in the jungles that covered 70% of their planet while the deserts covered 10% and the glaciers covered 20%.

But the story is not about their world but rather a young boy who was kicked out of the tribe to find his own path and come back a warrior, as is tradition for every 5th man. Usually, the men die when sent away from the relative comfort and safety of their tribe with the last man succeeding in finding another tribe 200 years ago. Trevor was that 1 in 5 men but not because he was born as the 5th but rather because he took his weaker brother's place, as was the truth with the tribe who "counted" to 5s and always "randomly" ended up on the sick one as the 5th. Despite his noble intentions, he knew he was likely to die and so made a wish to the stars along with a promise, he promised to not die a pathetic **** and to come out on top while he wished to become the most revered and beloved man, a chieftain, someone who always acted as the tribe's strength and wisdom. Furthermore, his determination was so strong that it called upon a greater power, a genie, someone who could grant his wish and make him the regal and mighty man that he is. So summoning before him the genie asked a simple question, what do you wish for?
