Iridescence (WoF Fanfic)

Prologue

"It's too late. They eat us, kill us, just for the fun of it. We have to destroy them, before they destroy us!"

"Nonsense. Our smartest, most studious scholars are working on their language now. We have most of it figured out. All we need now is to learn the grammatical usages and we will be set. We also believe that ancient Pyrrhians may have understood the language, as we have recently discovered texts thousands of years old, and they use letters and words similar to it. We also believe that at some point, we could actually speak with them, really communicate."

"Huh. Maybe. But meanwhile we prepare things. If they ever so much as . . . "

"No. If we attack them, they will attack us, and they have much larger numbers and are much stronger. Plus, when we do finally find out their confusing language, we want them to be on good terms. Think, with this information, we could bring the entire world of Pyrrhia into a generation of peace, and with our ideas and inventions, and with their numbers and abilities, we could do anything!"

"Yes. I suppose you're right."

"Yes, and even I wasn't, you follow my orders, right?"

"Yes . . . yes sir."

"Good. Now go get back on watch. We need you on the front lines, and I need to work with the scholars on the language thing. You will get back on watch, right? We wouldn't want any . . . leadership problems. You have been acting rebellious lately."

"No sir. I would never rebel you, sir."

"Very well. Get on watch. I have work to do."
