thanx guys! i'm in a hurry right so I'll jus send the new part in:S enjoy!
- The leaders moved to their new homes with their tribes and from that day they didn’t see each other, told the Oracle.
- But what happened to the Grubbs, then? I mean the Steefs are their protectors and if they move to different places, then the Grubbs wouldn’t have any chance to survive, asked Stranger.
- Well when you’re asking… the Grubbs knew that the Steefs would move away. The Grubb Oracle lived among them then so she told them all ‘bout the splitting. At the first moment they didn’t know what to do, but after a while they decided to do the same as their protectors. To split their tribe and move to other places in Mongo Valley. That reduced the chance to get killed by some terrorizing creatures. Like the Wolvarks for example.
- They’d move because of us? That’s too bad… sighed Stranger.
- No, that’s not bad Stranger! It was because of the splitting of the Steef tribe, the Grubbs survived.
- What’s that supposed to mean? The Steefs jus’ moved away without any thoughts on them. And can’t imagine what would happened if they jus’ disappeared…or died.
- Stranger the Oracle’s right, the Grubb Leader began to explain, I was there when it happened. When we were splitting our tribe. It was about twenty years ago when it happened.
- What are you talking ‘bout? You mean you were there and decided with the other Grubbs ‘bout?
The Leader nodded and finally said:
- Yes. I was one of them who did it… anyway enough about the Grubbs and me. Go on Oracle we want to know what happened next!
- I’ve already told you everything about the Steefs story. I suggest you get some sleep before you leave tomorrow to your new destination, answered the Oracle as he rose up from the chair and went to his book shelf, which stood in one of the four corners in the room.
- Our new destination? Asked the Leader and Stranger at the same time.
- A new destination, which can become very treacherous and dangerous,… said the Oracle as he took an old map out from the shelf and went back to his seat.
- But what do you mean with this new destination, then, asked the Leader.
- Well… you see when I look in to your friends future I see great things. Things that will mean a lot both to the Steefs and to the Grubbs. Stuff, which will have greater meanings…
- In my future? What things then great one, asked Stranger with curiosity.
The Oracle glanced at the Steef and said:
- Well my friend I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you… your future or your destiny is a quite heavy, but at the same times a bit simple quest. What I’m trying to say is; the remaining Steef tribes can’t be apart from each other no more and they need a general leader, who knows how to lead a flock. And now when the Steef tribes has been away from each other for so long, they certainly wants one who’s wise, who has the compassion for his people and last shows his love to them. Under these years when they’d been apart from each other, the leaders of the tribes have gone too selfish and too mad to rule well. Carak is the worse of them brothers. He has decided rules that have reduced the inhabitant’s freedom. And that’s not all; he has also left his wife. They’d two children together. Two beautiful girls. But now when she has moved to Noka’s place, then they decided to have one kid each. The two girls who loved each other very much got very sad… anyway Noka and Vivay haven’t got that mad, jus’ a bit lazy or… well too lazy to take care of their tribes wisely and the people doesn’t like their leaders style by “taking care of”. My tip is; if you could talk to the leaders about this idea then…
- What? You mean I’m supposed to talk to some greedy and old Steef leaders, whom I’ve never met before and tell them about to have a general leader to their people, Stranger bursted out with supricement.
The Wolclark nodded.
- Ok… this is nuts. Too nuts to do.
- … Well it’s a part of your destiny Stranger and you can call it what ever you want. Anyhow, Noka and Vivay are against Carak, ‘cause he has been overdoing a little bit when it comes to the rules and other stuff. So they’re walking their own way. If you two could talk to Noka and to Vivay then there might be a chance to make them change their minds. That’s only a tip form me though, but I suggest you go to Vivay first. His place isn’t far from here jus’ ‘bout eight miles. Then after you’ve been chatting with him, then to Noka and last to Carak. If they agree, ‘bout your idea then you’ll not be alone.
The Wolclark laid the map on the table and pointed out where the tribes were living.
- Here’s Vivay’s place. And here’s Noka’s hangout and here’s Carak’s place. I’ll mark the places out and it’ll be easier to find them. There we go… said the Oracle as he marked the areas with a pencil he’d have in one of his jacket pockets and handle it over to the Grubb.
- Gee… they sure are far away form each other, said the Grubb with amazement.
Stranger ogled at the map and agreed. Then the Wolclark said:
- You must be very tired by now, why don’t you rest a bit while I fix your provisions for tomorrow’s journey? It’ll be a pleasure to do that for you.
- Well thanks that’s very nice of you, but haven’t you done enough for us yet? I mean you’d told us almost all about the Steefs story and now you want to get some rest in YOUR house while you do OUR provisions, asked the Leader.
- Yes I guess you need somebody to do that for you, after all you can’t find anything eatable out here in the deep swamps, can you? By the way I may have some food you can have for your trip. Anyway in the next room there are two beds for you. Make yourselves at home and don’t think about me, I don’t usually get visitors and it’s so nice to have you guys here, answered the Oracle while started picking up the ingredients from a small store.
See Ya!
