Crack!
Buffalofolk Elder Earthshaker gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he executed the dissenting members of his tribe, their heads displayed as a grim warning.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse.
"Now, can you all calm down?" Earthshaker's voice rang out, firm and commanding as he scanned the remaining Buffalofolk gathered in the settlement.
"Drakor Wildhorn and Kargen Wildhorn are dead!"
"Chieftain Torak Wildhorn has been slain!"
"Do you want to join them in death?"
"I can make that happen!"
This day was a disaster for the Buffalofolk. Nearly all of their leadership, except for those who had been out hunting with Earthshaker, had been wiped out.
Earthshaker loved his tribe deeply, but for the sake of their survival, he had no choice but to execute those who opposed him, solidifying his authority.
