Dama actually lost his eyes due to illness and this is a sore point for him.
His father also sighed about this
One day, a chief from another tribe visited the Esbizuk camp. He was a wise and experienced warrior, with an eye for talent.
Upon seeing Dama hunting with his men, he sensed the makings of a great warrior within him.
Brimming with curiosity, he dared to ask the question that no one in the tribe had asked before: "Dama, how did you lose your eyes?"
Normally, such a question would result in a swift blow from Dama's powerful fists. But the chief is a guest and Dama himself respected this chief
If not he would not go hunting with this chief champions. And the rules of hospitality among the tribe is honoured highly in the Esbizuk tribe
Those who dares ask a question like that to Dama would be hit by him but since he could not hit a guest, Dama laughed
Dama decided to respond with a touch of humor.
