Darkness Befell Us

(PREVIOUSLY ON DARKNESS BEFELL US)

"Okay I am Zod, son of Nazak," he said and I had no clue of what was going on still,

He looked at us and we looked at him back because we did not know what was happening, maybe he was someone important but he had to explain more,

"I am second in command of the etocrite queen," he said and my eyes almost popped out,

"You promised you would not over react, like I said I am here on good terms," he added looking between Noth and I,

"I do not believe you, you look human," Noth stated,

"Well as etocrites we can shape shift and I turned myself into a human but that is not the point, I am here to help, you know the queen is coming for you, she is coming after your tribe and no any other," he said and I could help but ask a question I have always wanted to ask,

"Why is she after my tribe and I?" I asked looking at him,

"Well the real thing here is she is after you and she knows damaging or harming your tribe will get to you," he replied,

"Why is she after me, I just do not understand," I said frankly,

"She has always been in love with you even after all these years, she has used my tribe just to get to you, haven't you ever thought of why a human would lead my tribe, she made them believe that humans are the worst, that humans want to kill us, she made sure she got her way with us, I tried explaining to my brothers that she was just using them but they failed to understand and that is why I am here I need to save my brothers from that monster, she also sent me for that metal but I am not going back, I want to help defeat her for good," he said and I could help but wonder why the woman was in love with me,

(NOW)

Zod (narration)

I walked up to the large tent where I heard Tenia shouting at someone, "I want you to bring me that girl at once I do not want to repeat myself!" she screamed and that is when I saw Bale moving out fast, he glared at me for a second and moved on,

Well I knew she must have been talking about Karth's girl, I hope they heed my advice and protect her because Tenia is now sending people after her, I know they did not believe me but then again they had no choice I was their best shot at winning the fight, the one thing Karth and his brother did not know was that Tenia was so strong and despite them having the metal she would still find a way to defeat them, I knew her more. Most times I knew what she was going to do, I knew what she was capable of,

She turned and her facial expression changed, she smiled she must have thought I brought what she asked for, well she was going to get disappointed,

"Zod, that was quick, do you have good news for me?" she asked coming close to me,

I had to give her the worst news she heard today, well we all do not get what we want, she just had to move on and I was way past everything to be scared of her,

"No I am sorry I could not get what you asked for," I said looking in her eyes,

"Why, what happened?" she asked rather calmly, I anticipated anything she was going to do to me,

"The mountain has a protection seal around it and anyone who is not allowed to access it cannot go in," I lied simply, I could not tell her I was not anywhere near that mountain,
