章 84: The Leader
...
In Northern Namibia, existed the Himba tribes, living in a very hot and dry environment yet always has succeeded in containing its culture.
The Himba people are vey simple, living on raising sheep and farming.
Women in the tribes of Himba, tend to perform more labor-intensive work than men do, like carrying water to the village, milking cows, taking care of children and even artisany.
Men take the role of protection and leadership, building and animal slaughtering.
They are people of no technology, but they live in harmony with each other as long as every one knows his role and place in the tribe.
After his comeback, Beazly made sure to check on all of his people and see whether they needed something from him. They all were just happy about his arrival, and expressed their feeling of safety now that he's here.
"Aaaah. I am tired!" Beazly says as he sits inside of the royal tent, which is the tent of the leading family of the tribe. It is bigger than the rest and more equipped, but nothing close to royalty.
"That is because you haven't taken any rest since you came." His father says
Beazly. "Yeah well, that is my duty to take care of my people just like you did in the past."
His father. "You're already a far better leader than i was. I didn't have the tolerance and sweetness that you do. Even when i would go far away for extended periods of time. They wouldn't miss me the way they missed you now."
Beazly. "Don't say that, it's not like i wasn't alive and saw it with my eyes...
Anyways, I am glad that everybody is fine, i am surprised nothing suspicious has happened in all 3 months!"
*Beazly's mother and sister enter the tent*
Then his sister jumps on him with open arms. "Beaazlyyyyyyyy!!!!"
"Hahhahahhahaa, Maya! you're almost 18 now don't be throwing yourself on me so carelessly. You're no more a light weight."He replies as he pretends to struggle holding her.
Maya. "Are you saying I got fat???"
His mother speaks firmly. "Maya! Let your big brother have his rest."
Beazly stands up and kisses his mother's forehead.
"How are you today my son?" she asks him.
Beazly. "Fine as long as you all are fine."
The father. "You said you're surprised nothing suspicious happened in all these 3months.
Well there is quite one thing..."
Beazly looks serious. "...What is it?"
Maya. "That's right! There was this man who occasionally comes here..."
Beazly. "A man!!?
What does he want?"
Maya. "He doesn't look menacing, but certainly suspicious.
He always has a smile on his face and tries to make contact with children."
Beazly's look kept getting more serious.
"I asked you what does he want?
Nobody knows??"
The father. "When i knew about it, I went to talk with him.
I asked him straight to the point, and he said that he wishes if we would collaborate with him in his business."
Beazly. "What business?"
"He said he has many factories arround 50km from here and wants to expand his territory.
He offered me huge amount of money in order to sell our land!"
Beazly starts getting furious.
"WHAT??
Who the hell he thinks himself to be?"
The father. "Calm down, i told him that his offer is refused and to not bother coming in here anymore."
Beazly. "Did he stop coming?"
The father. "I haven't seen him since, but the children seem to still meet him somewhere and they all come back with different things each time!
Like Toys and weird substances..."
This was enough to make Beazly decide something...
Beazly. "Tell me now!
What does he look like?"
....
"...So It was military service all the way
Why haven't you told us before?". Oumad asks with an oblivious face
Alkeyder. "That's because, it would be the hardest thing for all of you to believe us back then.
Look at you, even now feeling furious and in disbelief.
Even if you know that it's all true.
We're not doing this to our liking, this is just...Duty!
I have been alive more than i wish to be, you think it's all fun to have such great powers and knowledge?
No, it is burden! And this burden won't ever end unless our mission is complete."
Oumad keeps staring at Alkeyder, without saying a word...Then looks at the ground and holds his forehead, as if he's in loss!!
Alkeyder puts his hand on Oumad's shoulder. "Don't act like it's a lost battle.
Do not understimate our powers, I haven't told you yet where are the ones we trained before.
You should know that the luxic paradigm castle is just one of 7 Major Atlantean Castles!!"
"What!!" Oumad says surprisingly
Alkeyder. "You'll know all about it, when it's the right moment.
Now that you know that time is sadly, not our friend...
Focus on what you want to learn for yourself mr Oumad, that's why you chose to stay in here."
It was very hard for Oumad to immediatly accept what he was told by Alkeyder, that is because it was undeniably true. He knows it well that there is no alternative line in this, all ways lead to Rome.
And in life, All ways lead to an end.
But some ends are eternal, and some others are not!
Oumad stands up feeling the weight of the world on his knees and shoulders, it was so heavy to just stand up knowing what might happen in the near future.
But he gathered his composure, took a deep breath then let it out and said.
"You're right Master, let's not waste it anymore!"
While inside of his mind he was only thinking about his lifetime companion, Herald!
