Karth (narration)

I looked at Nen, she was sleeping peacefully I left bed because I didn't want to wake her, I sat and sighed, a lot of shit on my mind, the way other tribes treat us, it was only Feron who was a good person among the other leaders, then also the problem with the Dargoth queen is just too much too, she just won't leave us alone, then also Rik being a traitor once again which honestly doesn't surprise me but I really wonder how a person can change so much like that man was my best friend but I just looked at him and I see a whole different person,

"Hey why are you up? " I heard Nen say softly and I smiled at her, she is the light in all of this darkness,

"Come on come back to bed, " she said sitting up fully stretching out her arms, I stood up and walked slowly to bed and got in,

"Hey what's wrong, what happened? " she asked touching my cheek, and I sighed,

"It's nothing really let's just go to bed okay, " I said resting my head on the pillow,

She moved and straddled me sitting on my thighs and rested her hands on my stomach,

"You know you can tell me right I am here for you, " she said softly looking in my eyes,

I know I said I will not keep anything from her again, I promised I guess I should just tell her,

I looked at her and I decided to tell her everything that has been happening

...

"Wow I cannot honestly not believe Rik is that low of a son of a bitch, I knew there was something about him, " she said looking seriously,

I nodded and rubbed her thighs slowly, she then turned her face to look at me smirking,

"I am going to get that metal Karth don't worry about that, " she said smiling deviously,

"Nen I don't want you in any danger I will take care of it you are my first priority okay, " I said sitting up and touching her cheek and she pulled away, glaring at me,

"Look Karth I am security duty of this tribe I want the wellness of this tribe too so I want to do this I am going to make sure that metal never leaves this tribe," she said looking in my eyes,

I smiled at her, I know she is badass I trust her

...

Nen (narration)

I was eating breakfast slowly and Tora came and touched my shoulder a little, Karth and Farath had gone for an early meeting with the elders of the tribe,

"Morning Nen how was the night? " she said grabbing a cup of tea and smiling at me a little,

"It was good and yours dear darling, " I said smiling at her and she rolled her eyes at me and left, I smirked at her,

I saw Rik trying to talk to Sel and he was trying hard not to talk to Rik and I smiled, I just don't understand why he is always here, I mean he is a leader in another tribe, I know he is spying for the Dargoth queen but still how stupid is the Karan tribe leader to not even question this, I shook my head,

I made sure Rik never left my eyesight, I saw that guy that Karth told me about and he looked lost,

"You can sit here I don't bite, " I said smiling and he just looked at me blankly, wow no sense of humor,

"You must be Zod, " I said looking at him and he nodded slowly,

"And you must be Anensia, " he said seriously and I nodded too,

"Well people usually call me Nen, " I said confirming and he nodded,

"Nice to finally meet you Nen I really wanted to, " he said and looked at the table, I raised an eyebrow,

"You really wanted to meet me, why? " I asked confused, and he looked like he was caught doing something wrong,

"Umm it is nothing really I just wanted to know who I should protect that's all, " he said simply and I was confused,

"I know you are confused Nen but you should be careful, " he said seriously and my eyes widened,

I nodded slowly,

"So uhh you don't eat breakfast?? I asked to change the subject of him creeping me out,

He shook his head no and I was confused how can anyone not eat breakfast, I shrugged leaving him be, I turned and realized Rik had left and I panicked a bit looking around,

"Is everything okay? " Zod asked me and I nodded but I got up I have to find him

Zod gave me a confused look but I got to go

....

I was leaning on the wall wondering where that bastard had disappeared to when Santi approached me,

"Nen everything okay you look like you are stressed about something, " she asked leaning besides me,

"I have to find Rik," I said and she raised an eyebrow, ooh right I haven't told her yet, I pulled her and we went to my room,

.....

"Hey you are scaring me Nen what is happening? " she said as I closed the door, she looked confused and I could understand really,

"I was looking for Rik I need to get in his room without him knowing but I also know his men might be close to his room meaning I have to find a way I have to make a plan, " I said pacing around in the room,

I looked at her and she had a face of what-the-hell-is--happening and I took a breath slowing down,

"Rik works for the Dargoth queen, " I said and Santi's eyes got wide,

"Wait what! " she almost yelled and I shushed her and she nodded,

"Nen is that really true? " she asked skeptical about the whole thing,

"Yes and he is here for the metal apparently the queen wants it, " I said and sat down on the edge of my bed,

"He is such a bastard and he was claiming he wants to be forgiven was that even genuine really," she said sitting beside me and I shrugged,

"All I know is I have to get the little piece of metal he stole from the armory, " I said seriously biting my lip a little,

"I will help you Nen, " she said crossing her arms on her chest and now I raised an eyebrow at her and she shrugged like it was nothing,

"You said it is in his room don't tell me you think you can get it all by yourself right? " she asked and I had nothing to say

"I will help you Nen I may not be security duty but I can sure as hell distract, " she said smiling and I nodded

....

"Nen I don't think it is going to be easy to get into his room, " Santi said,

"I told you Santi we have to be very careful I feel like if that metal leaves this tribe it will be my fault Noth, Farath and Karth already deal with so much, " I said frustrated and she leaned her head on my shoulder,

We sat in silence and Santi sighed

"We will get it, " Santi said and I nodded

...

Noth (narration)

Karth, Farath and I sat with the elders we all waited for Elder Biron to arrive but the other five elders were sitted silently,

"Thank you for coming leader Karth, I see you brought company, " Elder Biron said raising an eyebrow as he entered the hall,

"You knew Noth and Farath had to come so stop being dramatic, " Karth said smirking and Elder Biron scoffed and I smiled,

"Alright Gad here saw something last night can you please repeat for our leader what you told me," Elder Biron gestured for Elder Gad who looked blankly,

"Last night I went out to see the guards and give them their dinner as usual when I saw the Karan tribe leader with two men looking at the dome and they discussed something I didn't hear what they were talking about but why would the tribe leader be here at night, " Elder Gad said and I saw Karth roll his eyes clearly so stressed, he ran his hands on his face,

Farath looked at me and I looked at him too, this shit is getting too much, these idiots really are pushing us!

"I really thought the Karan tribe leader never knew about Rik's encounters but I guess they are in cahoots, " Karth said slowly and he sighed, I know my brother he is about to lose it he can only handle much,

I saw it first when the etocrites used to attack us but the time they really went to war with us and our parents died he lost it he was too stressed that he became unleashed that when the Leza tribe sent security duty who attacked us to steal Xasv, he killed all of them by himself, from that day forward he said he would only get into a fight if only it was very necessary because he can get very violent when he loses his temper,

"What do you mean Rik and his encounters? " Elder Biron asked confused,

"Well Rik works for or with the Dargoth queen, " Karth said seriously looking at the elders probably for a reaction and well there were gasps in the room,

"And he is still here what are you doing Karth? How could you let him be here our tribe almost went extinct because of that monster!" Elder Biron yelled standing up and Karth glared at him still sitted,

"You should know not to yell at me Elder Biron I am leader of this tribe!" Karth said calmly and that was scary enough, the elders went silent,

"I know what I am doing and they will all know what I am made of when all this shit ends they will know to respect me! " Karth said standing up and he rested his hands on the table,

"I am going to end all this shit trust me Elders!" Karth said seriously and glared at all of them, he left and the elders were quiet, Farath and I stood up and nodded at the elders and we left too,

"Do you think what happened before will happen now? " Farath asked me as we got out of the hall and I shrugged honestly I am worried about Karth and when we got out he was not there I wonder where he went,

"Honestly it might, " I sighed looking at Farath who looked concerned about it

....

Karth (narration)

I left and went on the cliff and sat down I feel like I can't breathe I honestly don't know what I am doing, also people just keep pushing me,

I breathed in deeply and looked at the city people moving around if only they knew the kind of threat we are under, they would all be panicking, I sighed, what if my father wasn't right about me leading this tribe, what if I can't defeat the Dargoth queen, what if I am not worthy of Nen, when I thought of Nen I smiled a bit,

"I knew you would be here, " I heard Noth say from behind me, I just wanted a moment to myself,

"You could have also known I wanted a bit of peace to myself, " I said irritated,

"Look Karth I know this is too much for you and things just keep happening but I am here with you your brother is here with you, " Noth said sitting beside me,

"I know I can count on you Noth I just need a moment to breath I can't go home with all this tension I just want air Noth and for all this shit to end, " I said sighing,

"We will end this Karth we will and everyone will be reminded what the Hnerez tribe is made of, " Noth said and I smiled nodding

He threw his arm on on my shoulder and I smiled

...

Noth (narration)

When we got back to the tower, I saw Farath laughing with Santi as he sat at the table it still hurt but I even don't know why I am looking at them, we just got here for dinner, I saw Nen sit down besides Karth and she kissed him softly, at least she makes him stable, I am glad about that, well that shit went out the window when Rik arrived to the table,

"I want you to leave this tribe right now! " Karth said looking at Rik from the head of the table and Nen looked at him surprised, well we all were he didn't even tell me he was going to do this,

"What! What are you talking about you need me Karth! " Rik said panicky looking around at us, but well most of us hate him so...

"You heard me I want you to leave my tribe! " Karth said looking at Rik intensely and we were all really just watching what was happening
