Faced with the sea of adoring fans in front of his house, Metztil found he had two choices out- the easy way, or the hard way.
It did not take long for the intoxicated by power- Metztil to choose one.
And certainly, the hard way was too inconvenient for him, for he did not dare to speak the hard truth in front of the gathered crowd.
Now, alongside Metztil's personal reluctance, it could be argued that there were also political considerations here.
The entire tribe was there, going to show just how great the allure of land was to everyone.
And even the usually bellicose, fearless chief who ignored his advisors a lot of the time could not ignore this.
If Metztil disappointed them here and now, if he brought them back from building castles in the cloud back to reality, there was no way people would let him off easily for 'lying' to them.
They would surely find a way to bury him.
