Sibling Rivalry

The Long-Ears' tribe had settled in an elevate area full of reefs and faced the sea, with every house having an ocean view even if it wasn't exactly warm even in spring.

But that was nothing good, because the vertical cliff that kept them over twenty-meters above the sea would not ensure their safety.

Tsunamis and other natural disasters notwithstanding, the proximity meant any sea monster that could leave water for brief periods could attack them. After all, they could climb the reef cliff or simply leap over those twenty odd meters—it was no problem for most sea monsters with their massive bodies or their suction cups.

Any smart tribal chief would never set up camp here, but it was not as if the Long-Ears' chief was a fool: he only decided to settle the tribe here because they had no choice.
