Chapter 138 by Actiaeon Actiaeon

Where are they taking you all?

Tribal meeting

"It is owraegus, wehren ju bulu Mira und Mara!" Paish yells.

You have been gathered in a giant building; built like a larger version of the other structures in the village. This one has one very long hearth, burning a colossal log feed by smaller bits of timber. Around this hearth sits what seems to be the entire village, every man, woman, and child. All appear in various stages of unrest, seemingly incensed at the words Paish yells at them. You are kneeling just past the fire, you and Haruka and Eve. While Mira and Mara stand to your left, nearby; Paish yells on the other side as them.

Sitting near the huge more ornately designed curtain than you have ever seen, depicting various figures, sitting cross-legged is the old man from before. I guess his name is Leto, or is it Pitar? I've heard both.

He responds to Paish, "I capren."

"Mira und Mara, kamin com muje," he says, stroking his beard.

He gets up showing the village his is still active and robust, with his impressive physique. The women follow him, heading in, past the curtains. Meanwhile, you are stuck; the villagers whispering in hushed tones, while Paish paces angrily back and forth. It takes a surprisingly long time, feeling like an eternity before the twins come out from behind the curtain, followed by the man.

"Graz Pitar," they say leaving, heading back to where they were standing before.

The Pitar clears his throat, "Qwit!" his voice booms throughout the building.

Everyone stops talking, waiting for the Pitar to speak; even Paish stops his pacing.

"Pita, kamin here," he says, looking at you.

You get up and step forward, trying to appear as calm and confident as you can. But deep down inside you are panicking, I must not let it show, you keep telling yourself.

"Sow muje duy arm," he orders you, his voice calm and commanding.

You understand the last word, knowing that he probably meant the prosthetic arm of yours you show him. You watch as he intently studies it, looking up at you and putting his hand in a fist, then letting it go. You follow suit, replicating the action.

"Intere..." he says, looking over at Eve.

The village begins to whisper to each other after that comment.

"Du," he says, pointing at her, "kamin here."

Eve looks at you, to which you nod; letting her know to follow his order. Eve comes forward stopping next to you. The Pitar kneels down a little, looking intently at Eve's face, the glowing object on her forehead, and her mechanical eyes.

"Nurn?" He asks, turning to you.

At this point, you figure that must mean, something along the lines of "with you."

So you say, "yes."

The whole tribe turns up into uproar after you say that.

He calmly directs you to return, Eve following next to you.

"Yiqi!" He yells, silencing the room yet again.

"I hav kamin to a deside!" He continues, "pita und pita's nurn are part of yiqi, no wehren"

The whole structure goes up in an uproar, looking you see Paish, stand shocked; while the twins smile. Some people are up in arms, while others are just as shocked. Most of the children are either confused or indifferent.

"Qwit!" he yells again, most people ignore him, "I sai qwit!"

With that, the building becomes quiet again, "Mira und Mara are pita's nurn."

The people again begin to be riled up into uproar; however, he quickly suppresses it.

"Pita, is of da staryy!" He yells, "of Urra, of Son!"

At this point there is no stopping the crowd; many are shocked; some look at you, seemingly with reverence. Others seem skeptical of you. Even the children look at you with interest now. You watch as the Pitar lets the others talk among themselves. Looking at Paish you can tell he is not happy with this development; in fact, he is very agitated. That must mean it is good then? Right?

What's next?
