The Deal with a Hundred Tribes

Ling Mei'er shook her head and proclaimed to Han Sen, "I cannot leave here!"

"Why not?" Han Sen asked.

"We made a deal with another tribe, and it is because of this deal that we cannot go to the surface," Ling Mei'er vaguely explained.

"What deal? And with who?" Han Sen asked.

Ling Mei'er cleared her throat and said, "I don't know. But our elder said that we must adhere to a hundred-tribe-deal or something of the sort. If I go to the realm of the landwalkers, and I end up dying, nobody will avenge my death!"

Han Sen had no clue what she was talking about, and from the look on her face, neither did she. It sounded like an agreement between many tribes that occupied the underground space, but Han Sen thought it to be silly.
