บท 26: Commotion

"What the hell."

"I think I'm about to puke"

"Hey! Go puke somewhere else besides here."

"Are they the family of the demon spawn?"

"Now that you mention it"

The morning has been anything but normal, as two heads present themselves in front of the tribe, facing upward.

Flesh deterring, eyes slowly popping out and an expression that shows they've been through the most painful experience. The face of fear and disgust.

"Do you think it might've been?"

"Yes, I think so as well."

"" The Monster disguised as one of us.""

Everyone gathered at the front march towards Alex's house which at the current moment, is sleeping innocently.

Hearing the commotion outside, some of the people who were still sleeping woke up to see the disturbance.

"What's going on?" A tribe member asked, unaware of the situation.

"The monster who has been living here in this tribe has killed his father and sister. What a disgusting sight we had to witness."

"I knew he would act up someday, let's kill him!"

Slowly more and more started to march to his house, and by the time they reached there almost every single member of the tribe was at his front door."

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Open up now!"

As if someone was standing at the front door when someone demanded to open it, A lady with vanta black hair that seemed to be all over the place and purple tired-looking eyes tiredly opened the door.

"May I help *Yawn* you all?" she asked with a yawn.

"Did you know your spouse and daughter have been killed?"

Opening her eyes wide and open, she spoked "They have been gone for a few days due to Elena's first hunt, was it a animal?"

"No, we believe your son did it."

"W-what... how?.... Why…. That damn monster." Teardrops ran down her face as well, some snot showing itself."

"G-go ahead" she gave the permission, believing them full-heartedly.

As they were about to charge in the house, a sudden voice they all recognized was heard from behind them all.

"Stop!"

Turning back, everyone saw an old man who showed great importance and wisdom. His white long hair ran down his back as he hunched forward due to back problems, but that was ignored as at the current moment, everyone saw an old man they respected.

"E-elder, Welcome." the man closest to the elder said respectfully.

The Elder nodded and began to speak "I can see you all have caused trouble in front of this house, may I ask why?" he said with a smile

"Well, it's because the monster's father and sister were killed, and we are here to deal with the one who took their life,"

"Hoooo?"

The Elder seemed to be amused at the current situation, despite his sleep being interrupted by the mob.

"He didn't do it. "

"Excuse me?" one of them said

"I said he didn't do it" He said once more in the most calming voice

"B-but el-"

"He's been either inside the tribe or near it on the outside of the tribe for the past few days, even before they both went out. I expect more from you all, you are blaming a kid who has been nothing but kind this whole time, and you were planning on killing him over an assumption.

Plus you didn't look at the poor souls closely enough at all, you could see there is a letter on their head"

"Wait really? I didn't see a letter there before."

"Were we all blinded with the intent to kill the monster?"

"Wow, we have gone so low."

"B-but are you sure he actually did stay near here this whole time, Elder?"

Looking at the lady who asked a question with his silver eyes, he spoke "Yes, do you really think we won't keep tabs on him when that whole incident occurred years ago?"

"I'm sorry for doubting you, Elder."

"Hmh, now if you excuse me, I'm going to take this letter back with me and let you all know the intent of it in a little. For now, don't try to lay your hands on the boy or there might be consequences." He spoke before walking away.

****

The 5 great wise men. A group of individuals who made great accomplishments during the time they were in their prime helped the Tribe be as great as it is today. They all wear a robe with numbers on their back to signify their position.

Uou, ter, qrazz, sepp, and Eril. Which translates to 1 through 5

But even so, The Elder is one who goes above them all and his commands are absolute while their command is only second to his.

"So, Elder, what does it say?"

….

"This isn't good, It seems the letter signifies that the Udu Tribe wants to cause trouble for us."

"What? Are they foolish that they might think they will win? Can you show us the letter, Elder or at least read it?"

"Yes, *Ahem* (These two heads show we are not afraid and show we have grown strong while you have grown weak. We will be coming! - The Udu Tribe)

….

"Foolish and arrogant"

"Indeed"

They really think they can compare to our power, then fine, we will show them how powerful we've gotten."

"They must think that without Navaor we are hopeless against them. They must have forgotten about our past achievements to act so blindly. Although he may be the strongest being in history our tribe has ever produced, the others are strong in their own right as well that they could kill any other top one in other tribes." 3 said

"When should we attack?" 4 asked

"As soon as possible, we won't wait and let them gather their strength. The sooner, the better." 1 answered

"Yes!"

"I agree"

"Good, we all made a decision. We will attack tomorrow at night while most of them are sleeping. Prepare to send 5 teams of hunters, with the top 5 leading each one. Now go!"

''"Yes!""
