026

The entire tribal area waited holding their breaths as the noise above the clouds got louder and louder.

Suddenly a large ship, kinda like the one Valkyrie had in Thor: Ragnorak, broke through the dark clouds. Perci raised an eyebrow, still confused. The weird tribal group that lived beside a volcano started their singing again. Some even started to bow, though they all seemed apprehensive.

Perci herself tensed up, waiting for something to happen.

The large cargo ship finally touched down to the ground, causing a large amount of hot dust to fly everywhere, causing Perci to cough and try to rub it out of her eyes. The engines on the silver ship turned off, and the golden eyed immortal watched confused.

Suddenly the door opened up slowly to reveal a man, this man looked kinda insane.

He only walked out right up to where the metal hit the dirty ground, he stepped no further.

His grim-free Caucasian skin seemed to shine on the dusty and dirty planet, even Perci who had only been there for a day, could feel mud and dirt and dust slathered on her. The man with eccentric grey and black hair grinned, showing his crooked teeth. He smiled even more as the tribals rushed to bow to him, he yelled out, "Corpse has come!"

At this point Perci was the only one not bowing, only looking at him with a raised eyebrow, she only just realized his weird lipstick. It kinda reminded her of the comic book villain jokers'. He wore an old suit, and had a weird fading yellow superhero cape that looked like it was made for children. It would have been large on the child, probably trailing on the ground, but for this tall man, it barely even reached past his butt, it was also very tight around his neck. He had very shiny dress shoes.

The two finally made eye contact, Perci just staring at him as his eyes accused her of some crime, probably that she wasn't bowing. He growled and whined like a child, "why isn't she bowing!?!"

Perci rolled her eyes, "I have no idea who you are dude."

He gasped offended, as a tribal dude crawled to her and tried to force her down, she pushed him off, glaring. He was about to try again when 'Corpse' raised his hand, the tribe guy froze. "It is fine. I shall deal with the lovely young lady."

Once again Perci raised her eyebrows, lovely? She was covered in grime, wearing black, tied to a stake, looking absolutely bored, under her breath Perci mumbled, "uh huh, funny."

Corpse ignored her, though she was sure he had somehow heard her comment, waving his hand toward the ship he grinned again, "I come with great news! I have found water once again for you lowly beings! Now pay me the usual and we can make this great exchange!"

The tribals all cheered clearly happy they would receive water, they all scrambled to their feet, singing in joy as they rushed around, making way for something.

Many of the men pushed a large cart forward with much effort, it was filled to the brim with dirt. They slowly pushed it forward, heaving with effort, as sweat dripped down their backs. Perci leaned back against the stake, 'so this must be why they had so many random holes on the way to the camp.' The woman and children cheered them on, some of the stronger woman also began to help push the large cart that seemed like it would barely fit into the cargo ship toward the man named Corpse.
