When me and mom had arrived. We saw a unknown person entering the village.
The man wore a red robe. Riding a latge lizard as his stead. Face covered with a mask.
The man demanded to meet the chief.
The chief came out of the crowd and greeted the man.
I bring message from the lord of this territory and request a private audience.
The chief invited the man to his home.
The red rider accepted his invite. Both of them made their way through the crowd.
I wanted to know more about that man in red. I was searching for katt in the crowd. Calling out his name. He responded from the side of the road. I quickly grabbed his hands and sprinted towards his house.
His house was in the west side of the village. We were making our way there. On our way we saw katt's father and the messenger on their way to katt's home. We quietly tailed them. Making sure no one could notice us.( They couldn't)
After reaching the home we saw katt's father and the man go inside the house. We looked closely at the giant lizard tied outside of the house.
It had a yellow body with brown rosettes on the back. It had a very long neck with it's face being bloody red. It had long claws with short sharp teeth.
We entered the house through the backside entrance. We hid ourselves in, the basement. Through cracks in the floor we were able to see and hear them.
Do you have any idea, how serious your situation has become!?
What do you mean? Tachala, All we requested for were education and medical support from the Lord.
I am not talking about ur requests! Since we decided to aid your people and granted you shelter in our kingdom. The Comanche want you back. Calling you traitors and cowards. We should just send you back to your country! Keeping you here will only bring misfortune for us.
Tachala I'm sorry but I can't do that. We can't return back there.
The red man with great tempar unmasked himself.
LOOK! Look at me!
The man showed his face. The man had a dark complexion. With a scar starting from left side of his nose ending in his lips. His upper lips were ruined.
Ever since recorded history our 2 nation's people have clashing because of ideological differences. But thanks to the Mansa we were able to create a united Ataris. We were able to fend off your ancestors from our territories.
Everyone has their own interpretations of history, Tachala.
I am a soilder of the Mansa kingdom. I have been fighting against different invading clans of Meztli for a long time. They were divided so their invasions could never succeed. But now it's different. They are united now. King mansa is worried about hostility.
Tachala! no matter what we can't go. If my words don't convince you this will.
The chief started to take off his hat. He never takes it off how unusual isn't it katt?
Katt didn't say anything. There is Just pain in his face.
What the chief showed the dark man that day i will remember all my life
