(note to readers:I tried to use a few words and phrases I believe a barbaric people might, I hope this is perceived as a plus and not a detriment. Anyhoo read and at end I'll define the words i made up for this.)
As you hurriedly approach the teensy village, you hear a shrill sound with your ears; made keen by years of hunting. It seems to be coming from the ground. Your emerald eyes shoot down instinctively. There, a finger-measure in front of your feet lies a Smallstuff tribe of warriors,armed with slashers and stabsticks,and dressed in shiny rock-skin.You stifle a giggle as it builds in your chest.A few brave ones bear the gleaming weapons aggresively, but most are shaking nervously and'or choking in the dust you've been kicking up in your rush. One, the chief, you assume, seems to be attempting to speak to you. His arms are waving his slasher at you.After some intense concentration you are able to hear some of what he's shouting."stop now,barbarous giant! turn back and leave our village in peace or thou shalt face the fury of nine hells or I am not Sir Roland the Purefleece!" His tribe mates still cower behind him.Their fear fills you with a feeling of might and pride. The Smallstuffs beat your people in the Great Many-battle. If you were to single-handedly crush their puny kingdoms you would gain much praise and spoils from the rest of your tribe. Then again, a small part of you says (ever quietly), it may be a time for a new age of peace between the Leviathan and the Smallstuffs. Your pouty lips curl into a smile as you decide what to do:
(and now as promised:finger-measure=the length of the pointer finger. Smallstuffs= The Leviathan word for the Luctens. slashers=swords. stabsticks=spears. rock-skin=armor. Many-battle=war.)
