16- Ambush

So we recently made a low quality computer. It took a decent amount time to build but we accomplished it. After we showed the chief the computer he was so excited that he decided to tell the whole village. Even though we told him not to tell anybody about it blue to the fact that it was hardly functional he still insisted. What my true fear about people finding out was that Shadowfrost would find out at some point. Its inevitable that he does but I want to keep it a secret as long as possible. Now since he told everyone, they all want one. So I now have to make 1110 computers just to make it one per household. I dont even have enough materials to make 100 let alone 1000.

I'm sorry everybody. Every person wont be able to get one. I will have to make it 1 per house. I dont want anybody fighting over it. Sadly though I'm a bit short on resources. I need at least 11 times more than I have currently. So I'm going to need all the miners, hunters and butchers to be working extra hard for me to be able to do this. I will go find the rubber that I need to make the generators. I will be taking Coben and Aj with me as we are the strongest in the village. The rest of you just continue throughout your day.

After I addressed the village about what the deal was I was nervous. I was shaking as much as a infant trying to walk for the first time. I had to ask Lizzie where the rubber trees were before I could head out.

Hey lizzie, where are the trees you got the latex from?

What's latex?

It's the sap that you gave me earlier.

Oh Its north west for about 30 min. I'll show you guys after I talk with my dad real quick. If you want go on ahead and wait for me when you reach the lake.

Ok meet you there.

I took Aj and Coben out of the village. It was the first time we've really gone west. We've mainly explored and mapped the north. One we got to Ottotawan lake we stopped and waited for Lizzie to show up.

Woah who are you?

A huge man came walking toward is from further west. He had a huge stature, maybe 7 ft, 400 pounds of pure muscle. He was the largest man I've ever seen. He never once spoke as he was walking toward us. He looked well rested which means he must of been sleeping nearby.

Sorry if we woke you up my dude. We are just waiting for somebody and we'll be on our way.

I didnt want to fight the man, but then a thought crossed my mind. What if he was waiting for us? Then he spoke with a low, thunderous voice.

"I've been waiting for you, he said you would be coming here."

His voice was a little frightening. He just kept walking towards us until he was within a few feet and he stopped.

Who said we would be here?

I'll never forget what he said.

"Shadowfrost!"

This meant he already knew what we were up to. But how could he if we just completed it. His city is 5 days away by foot. The only way he could be here is if Shadowfrost predicted this would happen. Then out of nowhere he attacked Coben and Aj. I thought that those two would be able to take him on, but he just took all their attacks like they were nothing. He then lifted both of them up by the throat.

"You guys are weak. No wonder you lost to Shadowfrost"

He then threw both up them 50 ft away like they were leaves. When he looked at me, instinctively I got into battle formation, ready to be beaten down by a monster of a man.

Why are you doing this? How did you get so strong?

"I was born strong unlike you and your friends. Shadowfrost sent me here to make sure you dont get in his way again."

So hes afraid that we can win this time?

"No he just hates annoyances."

He then punched me and sent me flying. I got up and tried to attack,but my efforts were in vain. My attacks wouldnt connect. For a man his size he sure was quick. Even with my super strength I don't think I could win. It felt like a really long battle until I was bloody and defeated. I still wasnt going to back down. I have people to protect and I wont die until their safe.

Oh my god Dakota, what's going on?

Lizzie showed up at the worst time possible. We were all beaten down by one man. He then looked at her and smiled.

"Hello pretty lady!"
