Darkness Befell Us

•16•

Zod (narration) continues..

We as a tribe called our selves the brothers, we were only men in our tribe, after my father died I became second in hand to Tenia, yes Tenia was married to my father despite her being human, he took a liking to her and immediately decided to wed her, I still do not know how she convinced my father when she was human, it has always been a mystery,

My father was always that one etocrite who hated humans to the fullest because of how they thought about us, but we never attacked them, my father would always say,

"We are better than them son,"

I remember clearly he raised me when my mother died of an illness as I was told, he raised me to be the good despite of what people thought of me, he taught me that an understanding man is all I needed to be and I used that, I could not blame the humans, they just looked at our outer shell and judged to their liking,

Tenia convinced my father that the humans wanted him, us, dead she claimed they wanted to wipe away the tribe and be done with us for good which made my brothers angry, we were determined to have a war, she particularly said the Hnerez tribe wanted to wipe out our tribe, my father was so angry that we attacked without thinking, Tenia had got to his head,

When we attacked many humans were killed, my father too lost his life in a good for nothing cause, he died believing the humans were enemies which they were not, it was just a theory made up by Tenia,

She was more evil than anyone thought, I knew her best I knew how she would think and I knew she was desperate to have the leader Karth by her side,

I just found out a few days ago when I went to talk to her in her chambers and I found her touching a picture of him, saying how she wanted to be by his side and how they were meant to be, and that is when I knew that this whole circus was just for her to get back at the Hnerez leader, she desperately wanted him and he probably declined so she became a lunatic and wanted him dead,

We lost many of my brothers, my father in a fight that was just about her feelings, she did not care for any of us, we were used as bait for her just to show Karth that she had become powerful and the saddest part was that he did not even remember her, she even stabbed just to make him remember her but he did not and that made her insane, she came desperate for blood, she wanted everyone close to leader Karth dead just to make her point,

I tried telling a few of my brothers that the queen just thought of herself but they failed to understand so now if them dying means saving them from that evil lunatic then so be it,

I did not come here for the metal that everyone keeps talking about, I came on a mission to collaborate with the leader and end Tenia for good, I was doing my all just to make sure my brothers were safe and alive,

The train dragged me out of my thoughts, I got up and waited for people to get out until I also got in and waited to make my way to the city

. . . . .

When the train arrived in the city, I realized that the city had a way bigger population than the one where I got into the train from, people were busy, moving up and down, and while I was walking I saw the deep hole with a tapping around it stating "NO CROSSING"

I put two and two together and realized that is where the missile landed, I felt bad at what I saw, many people must have lost their loved ones in this incident, I was meeting with the Leza tribe leader when it all happened, I came and found out that Bale had assisted Tenia to send a missile to the Hnerez tribe,

I could not believe she was still trying to prove a point to Karth who might I add still did not remember her, I knew it hurt her to the bone and now I knew most of her strategy, she wanted to kill Karth's girl in order to get her revenge, she wanted to capture the woman through Sera but she failed because Sera failed to do her job according to the queen,
