Zod (narration) continues..

We as a tribe called our selves the brothers, we were only men in our tribe, after my father died I became second in hand to Tenia, yes Tenia was married to my father despite her being human, he took a liking to her and immediately decided to wed her, I still do not know how she convinced my father when she was human, it has always been a mystery,

My father was always that one etocrite who hated humans to the fullest because of how they thought about us, but we never attacked them, my father would always say,

"We are better than them son,"

I remember clearly he raised me when my mother died of an illness as I was told, he raised me to be the good despite of what people thought of me, he taught me that an understanding man is all I needed to be and I used that, I could not blame the humans, they just looked at our outer shell and judged to their liking,

Tenia convinced my father that the humans wanted him, us, dead she claimed they wanted to wipe away the tribe and be done with us for good which made my brothers angry, we were determined to have a war, she particularly said the Hnerez tribe wanted to wipe out our tribe, my father was so angry that we attacked without thinking, Tenia had got to his head,

When we attacked many humans were killed, my father too lost his life in a good for nothing cause, he died believing the humans were enemies which they were not, it was just a theory made up by Tenia,

She was more evil than anyone thought, I knew her best I knew how she would think and I knew she was desperate to have the leader Karth by her side,

I just found out a few days ago when I went to talk to her in her chambers and I found her touching a picture of him, saying how she wanted to be by his side and how they were meant to be, and that is when I knew that this whole circus was just for her to get back at the Hnerez leader, she desperately wanted him and he probably declined so she became a lunatic and wanted him dead,

We lost many of my brothers, my father in a fight that was just about her feelings, she did not care for any of us, we were used as bait for her just to show Karth that she had become powerful and the saddest part was that he did not even remember her, she even stabbed just to make him remember her but he did not and that made her insane, she came desperate for blood, she wanted everyone close to leader Karth dead just to make her point,

I tried telling a few of my brothers that the queen just thought of herself but they failed to understand so now if them dying means saving them from that evil lunatic then so be it,

I did not come here for the metal that everyone keeps talking about, I came on a mission to collaborate with the leader and end Tenia for good, I was doing my all just to make sure my brothers were safe and alive,

The train dragged me out of my thoughts, I got up and waited for people to get out until I also got in and waited to make my way to the city

. . . . .

When the train arrived in the city, I realized that the city had a way bigger population than the one where I got into the train from, people were busy, moving up and down, and while I was walking I saw the deep hole with a tapping around it stating "NO CROSSING"

I put two and two together and realized that is where the missile landed, I felt bad at what I saw, many people must have lost their loved ones in this incident, I was meeting with the Leza tribe leader when it all happened, I came and found out that Bale had assisted Tenia to send a missile to the Hnerez tribe,

I could not believe she was still trying to prove a point to Karth who might I add still did not remember her, I knew it hurt her to the bone and now I knew most of her strategy, she wanted to kill Karth's girl in order to get her revenge, she wanted to capture the woman through Sera but she failed because Sera failed to do her job according to the queen,

I came in front of a rather tall tower I am guessing is where the leader stays, it was better looking than the other buildings around and anyone could easily tell it was the leader's tower and it also had security at the entrance there were on alert for anything,

I had to figure out a way to get in that tower I needed to talk with the leader

. . . . .

Karth (narration)

I was in a meeting with Noth and Farath but I could tell that Noth was not in the mood to be in a meeting, he looked like he was struggling with something on his mind, I had to stop the meeting midway and Farath said he wanted to go see Santi and for some reason that made Noth even more uncomfortable,

"Okay what is going on?" I said after Farath left, I knew he did not want to talk in front of Farath,

He looked around and got up I am guessing thinking of saying something or not,

"It is about Santi," he said still looking at the wall,

"And what about her? Wait you finally came to your senses and realized you like her?" I asked knowing it was definitely about that,

"Well I have always liked her you know that, I tried talking to her three days ago but it seemed she never even wanted to be close to me, I know it is all my fault I have always ignored her and pretended I do not see her because I was struggling with my feelings but I have always liked her," he said turning and looking at me,

"That same day I heard her talking with Nen about how she did it with Farath brother I just felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest, " he added looking down and sad, I was surprised because Noth never shows his feelings

"She is with Farath, Farath told me about it and to be honest I am happy for him, you had a chance Noth and you did not use it, she waited for years Noth, years!!" I said feeling sorry for him,

I knew Noth liked Santi and I hoped he could have told her, it is a little ironic how he tried to get Nen and I back together but he could not tell the girl he loved that he loved her, I just did not understand that, he says he was struggling with his feelings but he was scared, I knew he loved her, it was not a case of liking anymore I knew he loved her because he constantly asked Nen about Santi,

"Don't you think I know that Karth, I completely lost her and it is my fault I should have confessed in time, I cannot help but feel bad that she chose Farath over me," he said running his palms on his face,

"She did not choose Farath, he always liked her but you did not tell her, she maybe chose to be with Farath just to forget you," I said trying to assure him,

"You did not see how she looked at me she looked like she did not want to talk to me, it was different from before, she would always smile at me and try to talk to me but I ignored her, I cannot believe I lost the only girl I have ever had feelings for, I would rather have her as a friend than her look at me like I am nothing," he said and I believed him,

"Well then try and become her friend," I said and he just looked down

Noth had a good heart it is just that he came around later most of the time, the same thing happened when I appointed Farath as his second in command, he was angry he could not talk to me, when he finally came around and told me he felt like I was trying to monitor him and I assured him that it was just for the security of the tribe and Farath was just as good as him,

I stood up touched my brother's shoulder I knew he was going through a hard time and I had to be there for him, it was about the girl he loved,

"I lost her Karth, I really lost her," he said looking at me and I just shook my head at him, he was hurting and it clearly showed on his face,

"Well pray Farath does something bad, but as we both know him he most probably will not," I said to him in all honesty,

"I know," he replied and looked down

"How could I be stupid and think that she was waiting on me I just wanted to tell her at the right time and now I think I am so late that she even despises me and what hurts the most is that Farath did not know I loved her or maybe he wouldn't have bothered to go for the same girl, " Noth said looking sad and I thought I saw tears maybe I am just over thinking this

"Noth just be friends with her I really hope you can get past this and be able to be friends with her and not resent Farath just look at it this way you both love her and isn't that what you want for her, to be happy? " I asked him

"I do I really do want her to be happy, her happiness is enough for me, " he replied smiling and that was all I wanted to see, my brother smiling out of this situation and I knew my job was done
