Jerec enters the council chambers while Shiki
waits outside. The room is very damp and misty, only one torch is lit. Jerec felt very errie and looked around for the the tribal elders.
"Stay there young Jerec," the tribal chief said as he appeared from the shadows. " We have been expecting you," the other elders said.
" Wha, what do you want from me?" Jerec asked in a frightened voice.
"You have been selected to go to the forbidden sector," the chief said.
" What is the forbidden sector, and why do you want me to go?" Jerec inquired.
"Because you are our bravest and strongest
Mudokon in the village." "We also have no word from any other villages that will send thier best to the zone," the chief said with as much toloerence as possible. " You my young friend must get some sleep." The chief said tiredly.
So with that in Jerec's head he headed to his tree house, and waved good bye to shiki who was heading for his home. Jerec climbed the side of the tree and started to get ready for bed. He took off his loincloth, making sure no one was around,being that no one was in the tree put a fresh pair on the floor for tommorow, and slipped into his grass bed and pulled over the fur covers.
