Peace
A little something everyone wants but is practically nonexistent in the universe. When people say they are in peaceful times, they're lying to their core. No such thing as peace exists
Right now the Udu Tribe is at peace despite everything that is going on at the very moment. What a Foolish Tribe if they believe they are at peace
"Hey Woro"
"Hey Ro"
"How's guarding the tribe been for you at the current moment?" Ro asked
"It's been good so far, not many attacks have occurred, so I say it's pretty peaceful."
"Ha, true. It has been peaceful these past few years that I'll be surprised if an attack occurs"
"Yeah, it would be surprising"
Woro and Ro, are two friends since they were but mere children and even have the same job. They are so best friends that one might think they are gay, but are not. Both have spouses and wives, and they are hoping their kids can marry each other.
"Yeah, I hope nothing changes at all."
Staring out in the vast darkness where many species of animals lay wild and supreme, they spotted a yellow glow slowly creeping in.
Hiss!
"Is that light… fire?" Ro Woro asked while squinting his eyes to see
"It sounds like it, is the forest turning to fire?"
"Did we perhaps anger the fire god Tyel?"
"No, look closer. The fire isn't spreading, so that means we can come to one conclusion."
"An attack, shit!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Everyone, we are being atta-"
Splat
Thump!
Ro fell to the floor as he got hit by an arrow.
"Ro!"
He had no time to grieve as more arrows went flying at rapid speeds as if the sky itself was attacking."
"Shit! When they are coming."
As if in queue, many got ready and grabbed any weapon that was available, be it arrows or spears.
"Everyone, defend the tribe!"
Hunters and non-hunters alike got their weapons, ready to defend at any cost. Even inexperienced children got a weapon and tried to attack.
But it was hopeless, the children were afraid, and the ones who never went hunting in their life stood behind the others in fear.
"Everyone, get in cover! Make sure no arrow hits you! Woro yelled the obvious."
'Damn it! One minute I was keeping a lookout with Ro, and now I'm defending my life. Why did I say such words without knowing what would happen? Why!' Woro asked himself this question
He believes he jinxes himself and doom them all.
'I guess the gods are enjoying our show, damn you, gods! If any of you don't help us overcome this situation, I swear with all my might and power, I will crawl myself out of Sertuocos and strangle you all!'
What a fool if he truly believes he will be able to kill the gods, he has no power to escape death, only the mightiest of the mighty can do such a thing, and he is no mighty man at all, only a weak one.
"Hmm?"
"Did they run out of arrows?"
"Woro peek your head and see who we're up against." Someone said, which he nodded as he began to peak his head.
"Huh?"
"What do you see Woro that makes you have a confused expression?"
"There are more lights compared to when they first arrived, Elder."
"What! You idiot, they are about to shoot fire arrows."
"Oh no"
Phewn! Phewn! Phewn!
"Everyone, get away from where the wood is!"
As if they have gone deaf, no one listen to the Elder of the Udu tribe as the nonfighters stood there in fear
Roar!
Fire begins to spread and those closest to wood begin to burn, blistering fire and burn wounds, everyone who got burned is experiencing such pain these 2 things right now all screaming.
Luckily, some hunters move the nonfighters out of the way.
"You Idiots! Whether you move or don't move you at all. We can't have you be a distraction while we are out there fighting."
"Any Woro, what's the outside looking like?"
….
"Where's Woro?"
"Um, he died."
The look on the Elder's face got even angrier.
"What! How?"
"He didn't move in time, which led him to be burned up alongside our walls."
So much for fighting the gods.
"Wait, our walls are down."
And with this question, the man who was answering the questions looked dumbfounded
"Look in the surroundings more" The man whispered
"What was that?"
"Nothing, anyway, can't seem to spot the attackers as they seem to put out their torches."
"Well that's a problem, everyone get around and protect the weak!" the Elder ordered which everyone complied
In a matter of minutes, everyone got into a circle, with the weak in the middle.
Crackle!
The fire roared, no sound, sight, no nothing of the attackers at all. It's as if they attacked and disappeared.
"We are going to die, we are going to die." Someone repeated
"Tell her to shut up."
"But it's tribe we a-"
"Shut up, I don't want to hear it, we are going to live after this and be at peaceful times again!"
"So shut the hell u-"
Splat
Before he could finish his sentence, he got pierced in the middle of his chest with an arrow.
"W-where did it come from." Those were the Elder's final words before he died of blood loss
"Shit! Everyone defend yoursel-"
Splat!
Another one died.
Splat! Splat!
Soon more and more began to die until only a few were left.
"Show yourself! Unless you are cowards"
Complying with the random hunters' words, they all expose themselves, revealing who they are.
"S-so it was true, you all really were go-"
Stab!
Thump!
The man's body fell violently to the floor, not being able to finish his sentence at all.
"This is what you all get for killing one of our own," Navaor said while he spat on the floor
"W-what, we never once wanted this battle."
"Oh, now you don't want to fight since we destroyed you and your tribe? Truly pathetic."
"Kill them." They all nodded at the order and begin to kill
One by one, more of them began to die. Some tried to defend, but they were hopelessly killed.
"As of today, the Udu tribe was no more"
Splat!
school :(
