Here's a new update, hope you'll enjoy it...
- Aha, here’s something I think you guys would like, Hunter bursted out with joy as he picked out a couple of dark green shirts with light feathers on the shoulders.
- Those are looking real nice, Stranger began, can I try it on?
- Can I try one as well, the Grubb asked.
- Sure, here you go, Hunter answered with a grin.
The two guests put on their new clothes. They felt more nicely and comfortable than the other ones they tried before.
- Whoa, this fits me perfect and it has a soft cloth, what is it, asked the Grubb with curiosity.
- These clothes are made of the most rare cloth in the whole world, Thymesis is it called if I remember right, Hunter answered.
- What about the feathers? Are they rare to, Stranger asked.
Hunter chuckled and said:
- No they aren’t. After my pals and I have hunted, in this case birds, then we pluck them. At first we didn’t know what to with the feathers, but then my wife and I decided we could use them to design and decorate our clothes.
- That’s a good thought, Stranger filled in.
Hunter nodded and smiled at them. Suddenly, it knocked on the door and a hoarse but still deep voice spoke to them:
- Hunter? Are you in there?
- Yes I’m here, Hunter began, is it Stormous I’m talking to?
- Yes it’s me; can ya open the door, please? I’ve something important to tell you.
Hunter walked away and opened the door for him. Stormous went in to the hut and in to the living room together with Hunter, and got suprised of what he saw. He grinned and said pleased:
- Well, oh my! You guys really found some clothes, eh? Hehe those are real nice if you ask me… great job Hunter!
- Thank you Stormous, Hunter said with pride.
- When can we see Vivay, asked the Grubb.
- Now if you’d like, well I spoke with the leader a few minutes ago and he would be glad to meet you, now when he knows a little more about you, Stormous cleared his throat, are you guys ready?
- Sure, the Grubb answered and turned her head to Stranger.
- Let’s go, Stranger answered looking pleased, but still a bit nervous.
Chapter nine: Stranger VS Maki – part one
It was noon and the small Steef gang went away to see the leader, Vivay. Stranger thought about how to began the speech, but as before no good results were in sight, not yet. They reached the hut where the Steef leader was, not aware of that Thunder was in there as well, except for Stormous and went in. When Vivay saw them, he welcomed them as he had done before to the Guardian brothers, but this time Maki joined him. The two newcomers raised an eyebrow while greeting on them.
- Welcome, to my village strangers! You might have heard of me already, haven’t you? Well then let me introduce Maki, my son.
- Welcome, I hope you’ll enjoy your time here, Maki joined in while shaking hand with Stranger and the Grubb.
- Thank you, they both answered at the same time.
- Be my guests, Vivay began, please sit down!
They all sat down and Vivay continued:
- I’ve heard from certain sources that you have traveled from far distances to see me, correct me if I’m wrong, but are you, young Steef a lost member of Alca’s tribe?
- Yes I am, how could you’ve known, Stranger asked a bit confused.
- Everything that my Guardians can find out… back to the subject, why are you guys here anyway?
Then both Stranger and Grubb began to tell their story. Afterwards, Stranger said:
- So that’s why we’re here.
- I see…in that case if you Stranger really want to take my place as the General leader, then you have to do a little test, to make sure that I can trust you otherwise I won’t, Vivay said as he turned his head to Maki, my son has for a long time be trained to become my personal guard if not, then the next leader of my tribe. Maki has for almost seven years of his life being training hard to reach his goal. If you think you can beat my son in a duel, then you’ll be the next who’s responsible for my tribe.
- But Father, Maki bursted out in supricement.
- Silence son, Vivay reprimanded.
- Yes Father, Maki answered ashamed.
- Well then, I expect you at the great meeting place about a couple of hours.
- Of course leader Vivay, Stranger answered as he and his friend bowed in front of him and went out from the hut together with Stormous and Hunter.
