Darkness Befell Us

(PREVIOUSLY ON DARKNESS BEFELL US)

Unknown (narration)

"My queen , the package was delivered," I said and bowed down to her in respect

"Oh my dear they have no idea what is coming for them," the queen said and threw her head back and laughed evilly

"I would like to see Karth's face after we are finished with his tribe," she added with an evil look

I honestly do not understand why the queen is obsessed with Karth, there must be something we do not know, she never attacks any other tribe but just the Hnerez which is a bit strange if you ask me

She would send us to watch him from a far asking us everything he was doing, and commanding us to tell her each and everything, what he ate, how he spent his day, what he worked on, where he went and if you ask me the etocrites want to be at peace with the other tribes but the queen still insists with war against the other tribes, and on top of that she killed one of ours and put him as a sign for the Karan tribe to see him

This war is about the queen showing Karth that she is powerful it is not about us or the Hnerez people, it is about her proving that she can win over him and maybe I am over thinking but I could say that she is in love with him

"And that little girlfriend of his will face it the worst," she said and left the room

(NOW)

Karth (narration)

"Karth Nen is down she has been stabbed!!" I heard Noth shouting and when I turned to run to her and that is when I was stabbed in my shoulder, "Arrrrgghh!!" I turned and it was the queen she was smiling evilly, "I told you I will get you Karth!!" she said and pushed the spear more into me

I fell and when I turned my head I saw Nen lying dead in a pool of blood, I could not stop the tears that were flowing out of my eyes, my love was dead and many of our warriors were down

"I am going to end your tribe Karth, just watch!!" the queen said and laughed a very evil laugh

"Nooooo!!" I shouted and shot up, I was breathing hard, I was sweating, "It was just a dream, It was just a dream," I said to myself and I knew I could not sleep after such a dream, it seemed real though, was that a vision of what was going to happen??

I just moved downstairs to get some water and I could not help but think why would the etocrites attack now, yes I knew it was them it was so obvious, I knew the queen wanted to end my tribe but why if you ask me I don't know, for some reason the queen was out for blood

"So you cannot sleep too?" Noth said from behind me, "Yeah a really bad dream," I replied, "You know I have been thinking and I think the etocrites sent that missile," he said getting a glass

"I know they sent that missile, it is just too obvious, first the Karan find an etocrite body then we get hit by a missile," I said simply

"Oh I honestly did not think of it like that but that makes sense though it is like a pattern," he said sitting next to me

"And I also do not think other tribes are involved in this fight, I think this fight is centered around us, our tribe," I said looking at him and he gave me a shock face

"I too think it is about your tribe," we both turned and saw it was Rik

I for one wanted to know why he thought that way, he clearly had reasons and I wanted to know them, "Well if the etocrites wanted to attack the Karan tribe, they would have just attacked instead of putting a body on our border, I have been thinking it was just a diversion for something else," Rik said sitting next to me
