"Yes!" Even as Derek answered, he could not help but have flashbacks of Maria's blood running down his fingers.There was sudden silence amongst them. This was an infectious mood. Even Chief Sasha that had never met Maria kept silent, at least she understood the difficulty of losing a loved one."That means the problems waiting for you back home must be a lot! I'm I right?" priestess Ada asked."I really do not know how to explain them. But something like that." Derek answered.Priestess Ada sighed. "Okay! i can now boldly say that you did not come here as a result of the messages we sent to the Royal and noble families. You are here because you are lost? Am I right!?"Derek nodded. Meanwhile, Madeline could not help but be impressed by this old woman's wit. "We got ourselves in a bit of a mess with our zodiac gate and then the spatial storms took us here." Madeline replied."Oh! Then you are very lucky. Most people would have been dead by now. Spatial storms have been known to be ve
"okay! It is settled then." Madeline clapped. "You guys go get Tiny back, and Gina and I stay here and keep watch."Derek looked at Aesir and both of them nodded."We are going to have so much fun together!" Madeline smiled as she hugged Gina tightly. "Hurray for girl time."Derek and Aesir looked at her weirdly for a while and then looked away. .....Meanwhile, on another place far from the mountain the Waka tribe dwelled, a particular broken and beaten army hurried through the wide gates of a city wall made of bones of dead animals. However, if one looked closely, it was very likely that some human skulls would be found here and there in the mix. This small city was actually the home of the Kaka tribe. They were a very large tribe and lived proudly in the open.Not only that, they also had infrastructure that was quite amazing to the eyes. This was a well thriving people. Although they had started out just like the Waka tribe, they had now grown to be very large. This was of cau
"Writer!" Chief Lanki whispered through his clenched teeth."Huh!?" Priestess cuppy stopped in surprise. "What did you say?"Chief Lanki panicked. Just a moment ago, he was struggling to talk. Right now, he was begging himself not to talk. His tongue suddenly became heavy."I asked you a question, BOY!" She puswd him to a wall with force."What did you just SAY!?" She asked again. Looking deeply into his eyes as her voice climbed several pitch."It's... A... A wri .. a writer!"chief Lanka panicked in fear, "We met a writer at their mountain. He destroyed our army like it was nothing."She looked away from him. The shadows all around extended from here body as she slightly suspended in the air like a punching bag leaking from the ceiling.The choke had stopped and the chief could once again breath. He panted heavily for life as he fell on the ground. The same life he had just boasted a two hundred year streak was nearly taken from him just like that.How ironic it would have been if
Meanwhile, back at the mountain that belonged to the Waka tribe, Derek sat crossed legged in a cave assigned to him. This cave was by far a better one than the one he had and his friends had been sharing on first arrival. Also it was decorated appropriately and it even had a bed in the middle made of several animal fur. Derek had already given out instruction that he would loved to be left alone for a while, if not the entrance to this place would have been crowded by people. With rumours of the tribe having a writer as a guest, every body wanted to meet him. Also, tales of his marvelous feat from the battle earlier in the day had reached their ears.He was as good as a god to them at this point. At the entrance of the cave already lay all sorts of gifts for him. However, Derek was not all that interested in playing messiah at the moment. He just had too much on his mind. Too much problems that needed his attention. One of which was the pressing matter that both his women were mis
"And what might the main dish be?" Milan asked with raised brows. Chief Sasha did not exactly know how to have this talk with her daughter. But she knew that she had to. "Erm... Milan how old are you now?" "I am nineteen now!" Milan replied, "but in a couple of months, I'll be twenty." "Oh! That's nice. That's around the same age I was when I had you. Oh, how I remember it like it was only yesterday. That was the happiest day of my life. You were so little and so adorable. Your butt was not this big and chest this full then. It was all so..." "Mother!!!" Milan stopped her. Her cheeks had become red from embarrassment. "Just go straight to the point. Please!" Chief Sasha laughed a bit, "okay! I understand you are a big girl now." She sighed and then laughed some more. Apparently, she was still rolling down memory lane. "So tell me. What do you think about that Master Writer?" Chief Sasha asked. "Huh!?" This question had taken Milan off guard. "What do you mean mother?" "I mean
A few hours later, Derek ,Aesir and Milan said their good byes as they started their journey to the Gaka tribe.However, before they did Priestess Ada had come to see Derek one more time."Please take care of yourself properly Repono. And if there is absolutely anything you need, do not hesitate to contact me. I maybe far from you, but some of the things I can do will very much amaze you."Once she said this, she touched behind his ear and Derek clearly felt another radio rune added to the one he already had.Radio runes were special but not ominipresent. One had to be within a certain range for it to be used.Derek knew that If she was giving him one, then it meant that she was sure of reaching him as far away as even the Gaka tribe.A sudden realization hit Derek. One that he had not thought of before. Priestess Ada was a Familiar. Which meant that she could also weave runes.He remembered his experience at the cave when he first came and the one that had happen during the fight aga
"huh!?" Madeline could not believe what she was hearing."Don't worry! I am not as weak or fragile as you think. I am sure you noticed that we are a small tribe. Yet, we have survived for so long with terrible neighbors such as the Kaka tribe. Although we rarely bring out our full force, we are definitely not weak." Chief Sasha smirked a bit.Madeline nodded and then she commanded the Cerberus to attack. The beast used one of its paws and a heavy blow landed on the chief. *Bam* Some where within the carven, Priestess Ada was attending to a pregnant woman when she heard the boom of the attack. She raised her head and sighed, "So the the training has started."She pretended not to hear it and continue with the pregnant woman in front of her.....Meanwhile, Madeline was panicking. There was a lot of dust and it was difficult for her to see what had happened. As far as she was concerned,she had crushed the chief."Chief Sasha!" She called out in a low tone. Afraid that her eyes might m
Madeline nodded her head in understanding to Chief Sasha's words."So what does this have to do with aura?" Madeline asked."Well! Every thing." She picked up another stone from the ground, "according to your definition of aura, then aura is this object in your hands. And has stated earlier, it weighs you down over time." Chief Sasha turned and threw the stone into the water, then she turned once more and slowly released her aura, "However, if you understand that all it is, is an extension of your body, then behold the weight is gone. After all, your hands have always been attached to the rest of your body and you don't hear them complaining."Those words suddenly stroke difference to Madeline. She felt like she was at a state where she wanted to understand. In fact, the enlightenment was just Infront of her, however, it was a yard bit out of reach.She even sat on the ground as she tried to think hard on Chief Sasha's words. However, for the first time in a while, her brain was una
