Chapter 4:MEETING THE TRIBE'S MEN

Seen the unfamiliar person

As the unfamiliar person walked towards him, Demos' instincts kicked in. Despite his battered and bruised body, he summoned all his remaining strength and sprang into action.

With a fierce battle cry, Demos launched himself off the rough surface, his muscles screaming in protest. He landed in a battle stance, his fists clenched and his eyes blazing with a fierce determination.

The elderly woman stopped in her tracks, a hint of surprise on her face. But then, a warm smile spread across her face, and she nodded in approval.

The elderly woman speaking:" Ah, Demos, you are indeed a true warrior," the elderly woman said,

her voice filled with admiration.

The elderly woman speaking:"But there is no need for battle stances here. I come in peace."

Demos' eyes narrowed, his body still tense and ready for battle. He didn't know this person, and he wasn't about to let his guard down.

The elderly woman speaking : I'm Akira a healer of this dying tribe".

the elderly woman said, her eyes filled with a deep sadness.

Demos' expression didn't change, but his mind was racing.

Demos thoughts :A healer? What did she mean by "dying tribe"?

Akira took a step closer to Demos, her hands held out in a calming gesture.

Akira speaking:"Please, Demos, you don't need to be wary. I'm here to help you."

Demos' eyes flicked to Akira's hands, then back to her face. He was still wary, but there was something about Akira's gentle demeanor that put him at ease.

Demos speaking:"What do you mean by 'dying tribe'?"

Demos asked, his voice still cautious.

Akira's expression turned grim.

Akira speaking:"Our tribe is on the brink of collapse. We've been plagued by illness, hunger, and we were attack by the tall people. Our people are dying, and I fear that if we don't find a way to restore balance, our tribe will be no more."

Demos' eyes widened, shocked by Akira words. He had no idea things were that bad.

Demos speaking:" tall people who are they ?"and why did they attack this tribe?" And how many remain in this tribe

Akira expression turned grim.

Akira speaking:"We did have around 500 people, but now... we have 50."

Demos' eyes widened in shock.

Demos thoughts:50 people? That's a devastating decline, I can't even imagine how the tribe had been able to survive with such a small number.

Demos' eyes narrowed, his mind racing with questions. "What happened?" he asked Akira, his voice firm but controlled. "Why are there only 50 people left in the tribe?"

Akira eyes clouded over, her expression somber. "Our tribe is dying," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "We were attacked by the Tall People, a ruthless and brutal tribe that has been terrorizing us for thirty moons."

Demos' jaw clenched, his anger simmering just below the surface. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice tight with restraint.

Akira took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with memories.

Akira speaking :"They came out of nowhere, their warriors towering over us like trees. They brought disease and destruction, killing our people and burning our homes. We fought back, but we were vastly overwhelmed. Fifteen of their warriors were enough to defeat the entire of ours, so we knew we didn't stand a chance."

Demos' eyes widened, his mind reeling with the sheer scale of the devastation. "How many...?" he trailed off, unable to finish the question.

Akira voice cracked, her eyes welling up with tears. "Our former leader, Gorlack, sacrificed most of our warriors in a desperate bid to stall the Tall People. he sent five warriors, along with fifty people - mostly kids, women, and the elderly - to flee and find safety."

Demos' face set in a determined expression. He had just defeated Gorthok in a brutal battle, and now he was faced with the daunting task of leading this broken tribe.

As the newly appointed tribe leader, Demos knew he had to make tough decisions to ensure the tribe's survival. But he was determined to do whatever it took to protect his people and rebuild their shattered lives.

All through out the ordeal she was always looking a demos expression

When Akira finished telling demos about the devastation of the tribe Akira expression turned grim while she was clean demos wounds, right as she finished cleaning demos wounds she drop to her knees,tears trickling down her cheeks she then she slam her head on to the cave floor so hard blood gush out on the floor, then she said

Akira speaking: "demos", " great Warrior of Sparta please as the new leader of this tribe I beg you", help us we will follow your ever word even if it means to our death I don't want to see my tribe's men die out

Demos raise an eyebrow when he saw the rest of the 49 tribe's men entering the cave and drap to there knees kneeling before him, as their new tribe leader to help them through their struggles.

Demos was about to say something, suddenly the system interface white light pop up in his face showing him his reward and a new mission, startled, demos then try to touch the white screen in front of him surprised he can actually touch the white box. He then turned to the kneeling Akira and ask

Demos speaking:can you see this white box glowing in front of me

Akira expression turned grim hearing the question, Demos ask, and not the answer to the question she asked about her tribe's men please of help

But she didn't want to be disrespectful, she look up and then respond to him, a bit angrily

Akira speaking: "no I can only see you,

Demos then turned to the rest of the tribe's men, who were still kneeling with there forehead pressed on the cave floor and ask

Demos speaking: can anyone see this white box floating in mid-air

The tribe's men lifted there heads form off the ground and tilting there heads wondering what he's talking about

the tribe's man speaking: what is a white box, can It be eaten

Demos then realized how Primitive these tribe's men are

Demos now understanding that he is the only one who can see the system interface.
