Sorry, TBS...here's the third chapter:
Chapter 3:
Alector is still sitting down on the ground and stares to his own reflection on the water. He touches the scars on his eyes again and begins to cry –“father….what should I do with them?”
He can’t believe that nobody gives him an answer. He touches the place where his father died –“ there will someday grow a big tree over you!” The little Mudokon stands up and wants to begin a big trip. He hikes through a little forest, to the desert and finally to the ocean where he wants to sit down and pray. He was three days on the road and his feet are red and burned of the hot sand. He sits down on a little rock on the beach and wants begin to pray.
Suddenly someone touches his right shoulder- Alector jumps up and falls down with the back into the sand –“Who are you…argh!” a little Mudokon appears on the rockand looks down to Alector. He laughs because Alector looks too funny when he lays in the sand –“you’re funny! ” Alector looks angry –“Don’t laugh….this is not funny! Have you never learned to have respect for other creatures?! ” Thestrange Mudokon jumps down of the rock to Alector –“I’m sorry…give me your hand. I’ll help you.” Alector stands up and goes a few steps back –“oh, nevermind…what do you want here, and why have you disturbed me?”
-“hmmmmm- I just wanted to ask you something! ” Alector scrapes himself on the head- “then ask me what, I think I can give you a right answer”- The little Mud walks around Alector and looks to his head and back, on his chest and in his eyes –“you are so different…why do you have a white skin and so long hair? You have so much tattoos! ” He stares up to Alector. –“You are the son of the big fencer,aren’t you?” - Alector looks down to the stranger –“yes…but my father is…dead”- The other Mudokon slaps himself against forehead –“no!!! That cannot be! He wanted to cure a Mudokon in our village!!! ”The Mudokon jumps onto Alector –“You lie!!!”- He pushes Alector on the ground. He gets angry and kickes the other Mudokon off his away –“Why do you do this?” -he takes the big spear, the little Mudokon makes the eyes so open as he can –“What do you want to do with this big thing, take it away, or I call my father!”- Alector takes his spear away-“then leave me alone!”- He goes from the other Mudokon away, walks a bit on the beach and sits down on the next big rock.
He looks up to the heaven –“father, I’m a little child…I don’t want to be so small, then nobody will have respect for me!
I wanted to hurt the little Mudokon…but you would say this is not good and I should leave him…I’m talking to myself…” Alector looks down to his hands –“they are so small, they must be bigger!” He stands up and go to the ocean. –“I can hear the water, I think it’s the sound of your spirit.” Alector looks down and wipes a tear of his face off.
Suddenly he falls down and have pain in his whole body –“what’s this?! It feels like someone stretches my body!” He can’t open his eyes for pain, he stands up, but he falls down again. His feet get longer and his hands bigger –“help! What will happen with me?!”- He hits himself on his chest, the pain will never stop-. But suddenly The pain has stopped and Alector tries to stand up. He can’t walk so good, his body is so different all of a sudden. His head is bigger, but his hairs are really short for his body tall.
An other Mudokon watched the event and can’t believe it. He walks to the big Alector.–“Excuse me…” Alector turns around and looks to this Mudokon –“what’s wrong?”
-“nothing…nothing is wrong…but you are so tall and I bet you are a young Fencer” - Alector coughs–“ahem…yes”- he touches his hair –“they are too short”- The Mudokon smiles to him and goes to the big spear with the silver Stones on it. –“Someone has told me, that the next Fencer will have long silver hair, white skin, power and courage…”- Alector looks away and turns around again –“what is the name of the next Fencer, and what’s your name?”
-My name is Stew and the name of the Fencer will be Alec…Alector…or something, I don’t know.” Alector stares to Stew –“have you said Alector???” Stew goes two steps away –“hmm…yes, why do you ask me that? I’ll go now…I don’t have time and my childrens are waiting for me, they are hungry”- -“Ok, I just wanted to say I am Alector, my father is deseased yesterday and now I’m alone in this world…alone without friends, family and experience!”
Alector runs away without saying goodbye to Stew. On his way he sees a factory, he stops to run and looks to it. He walks down to the big buildings. Alector looks behind him and sees a lot of Mudokons. A Slig comes to the near of Alector –“WHO ARE YOU!”- The little Slig takes his weapon and want to shoot Alector. Alector kicks the Slig off his near –“don’t shoot me, that would be a mistake for you!”- Alector takes the Sligs weapon –“don’t shoot!”- The Slig don’t want to hear what Alector is saying and shoot into Alector’s chest!
He looks to his chest, but he can’t feel anything –“what’s that?”- The Slig can’t believe it and tries to shoot Alector again but he takes the spear and pierces the head of the Slig.
The Slig falls to his back. Alector takes the spear of the Slig’s head away and looks down to the many Mudokons who have seen what he done.
-“Don’t look, he wanted to kill me…but…I was faster”- He looks up and runs away of this place. He runs till he comes to a sea where he can see himself, he want to see what is happen to him because his forehead have a strange feeling.
He touches his forehead- he feels something, it feels like a stone…
Alector goes to the sea, sits down and looks to his own image on the water. –“On my head! There…there is a red stone, this is the beginning for my first tiara!”-
