Stalkid seemed too astonished to answer Jack's simple question. The village that Jack spoke of seemed more like a city to Stalkid. "This is amazing…" He finally said. "And you call this a 'village'?" Jack looked down at the village. "Well, yeah, I guess so. Why do ya ask?"
"It looks like a city!" Stalkid exclaimed.
"City? What's a city?"
"A City is like a town or a village, but ten times bigger… I guess."
"Ah…"
They both looked down at the now called city when Jack finally says, "Lets go on down into the …city, or something. Ok ?!" They both then make their way down towards the entrance. As they walked down the hill, Stalkid had missed a step, tripped, and began to roll down the hill. He rolled down the bare hill quickly as he heard Jack yelling something out in the distance. Stalkid finally came to a stop when his body had hit something. Groaning, he rolled on to his back …. And found him self surrounded by spears and other weapons. He looked up at the men who were pointing the weapons at his head. As he had thought, they were all Dekus. They all, seemingly, disapproved the presence of Stalkid. They all seemed to be warriors of some kind since they all wore some kind of armor and had face paint on them. One turned his head and talked to another in a different language. They all laughed. Looking back at Stalkid, one of them finally spoke, "So, what do you think you're doing here, outsider?" Another than says, "You know, we don't allow outsiders like yourself to just enter our territory."
Stalkid gulped. "I-I-I….." Stalkid stuttered. He continued to stutter as he stared at the weapons that were being pointed at him. They all chuckled. One of them stepped closer, keeping his spear pointed at Stalkid's neck. He seemed to be leader of them all since he looked more intimidating, though he also seemed to be a child. His armor seemed to be better and he possibly was more skilled then the others. He wore a white bandana across his forehead and was wearing a white kilt as well. His hair was a shimmering yellow color that seemed to flow gracefully in the wind. Though his hair was actually a nice sight to see, his presence made Stalkid uncomfortable at the moment. The young Deku warrior smiled and said something in his language. "Kaki ta qu neesa?" (translated, "Are you ready to die?") The warrior moved his spear closer to Stalkid's neck until the spear touched it. One of the warriors then said, "Nakta su akan thesa! Sina nog ga!" (Translated, "Don't kill him! You will be punished if you are caught!") The young warrior looked at the warrior. "Sena ku teas nae!" (Translated: "I can do what I please!") The warrior then looked down at Stalkid and smiled. He then said in English, "I 'am going to enjoy this." Before he could jab the spear into his neck, Jack comes running in and he pushes the warrior away from Stalkid. Though, in the process of doing that, Stalkid's neck was slightly scrapped by the sharp spear. "OW!" He yelped. Stalkid scrambled off the ground and stood up, covering his injured neck with his hand.
Furiously, Jack yelled, "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING ROLLO?! HES MY FRIEND!" Rollo simply continued to smile. "Is that so?" He said. "Well, in case you don't remember, no one is allowed in this very village!" Angrily, Rollo then thrusted his spear in front of Stalkid. Stalkid jumps back and Jack jumps in front of him. "HEY?! Did you hear me?! I said he's my friend and he is welcome to come in!" Rollo scowled at Jack. "You may be of higher power then I-" He started. "--But never will I allow an outsider in this village even if the Queen-" Before he could finish he suddenly fell to the ground with immense force. Stalkid stood there, surprised. He found that a large ball of some sort was thrown at the back of Rollo's head, which had caused him to fall. "What the … ?!" Rollo yelled. Suddenly, someone then said, "I have always wanted to do that to such a defiant warrior such as your self Rollo," Suddenly, one of the warriors turns around and then yelped, "THE QUEEN! SHOW RESPECTS MEN!" Stalkid then tilted his head. 'Queen?' He thought. 'Where?' They all quickly kneeled. Stalkid was then able to get a view of their Queen once the warriors had kneeled. She seemed even taller than the others. She had to be at least four foot eleven. Her hair looked like a jumble of green vines, which was neatly put back in a ponytail with a golden bracelet like object. She wore a red and green robe that looked rather stylish. Like the rest of her kind, she had the yellowish-orange eyes, but they had some kind of character added to them unlike most of the other Dekus had.
She walked towards the fallen Deku warrior and said, "I have had enough of you Rollo! You have been trouble since day one!" Rollo looks up at the Queen, rubbing the back of his head. The Deku Queen then continued, "If you are to receive an order from a person of greater strength, you are to obey that order NO MATTER WHAT! But-" She looked at Rollo as he rises from the ground. She looked at him, disgusted, and continued, "-You seem to have a problem with doing such things." Rollo looked at her silently as she passed by him towards Stalkid. Giving him a more concerned look upon her face, she asked, "Are you alright? Are you injured?" Stalkid moves his hand away from his neck and saw it was covered in blood. "Goodness!" The Queen shouted. Jack then said, "That was part my fault since I pushed Rollo's spear away from Stalkid's neck. It scrapped him." The Queen looked at him. "It's not your fault." She said. "In fact, I'm very proud of you." She pats him on his head. "Hey! Don't do that! You know I hate that!" Jack yelled. The Queen laughed. "Oh, how lucky I 'am to have a brother like yourself!" Again, Stalkid was surprised. 'They are related?' His mind then almost seemed to have jumped. 'Would that then mean he's part of royalty as well ?!' Many thoughts began to rush through his mind, but he kept quiet as the Queen then turned to look at Rollo again. She approached him slowly and the stated, "I have told you countless times that such things such as you're deviancy would cost you your position and trust." Rollo then protested, "No, please my dear Queen! I'll never-" The Queen then pulled off what appeared to be the royal seal from Rollo's armor and had taken his weapon. "You are the reason why the humans are attacking us." She began to walk around him as she continued to speak to him. "Your very existence disgusts every living thing on this very land Rollo. Including myself."
"But, my Queen…" Rollo whimpered.
"Silence, Rollo! You whining will not save you this time like it has the other times! No! Not this time!"
"Please, don't-"
"Did I say that you could speak?"
"…No."
"Then remain silent."
She stopped in front of the now guilty-feeling warrior. His head drooped. "I wish for you to leave Rollo. You have caused enough problems with our conflict with the humans and you have also caused too many fatalities towards innocent people." Sadly, Rollo then said, "Please, just give me another chance. I only was doing that for the safety of our kind. With what's happening now, how can we judge whether a person is innocent or not? How?" The Queen remained silent. Rollo's head then rised and he made eye contact with her. "Please, I beg you, DQ. I'll never do such a thing again."
The Queen turned her back on the saddened warrior. "Please, this is your friend that's speaking to you." DQ closed her eyes. "Leave now Rollo, or you will be further punished." Rollo's eyes widened with surprise. "As I had said, things such as your deviancy would cost you your position and trust. You have gone too far now and I have lost all of my trust in you I'm afraid." She then pointed her finger up the hill. "Leave now. You no longer are a part of this kingdom what-so-ever." Rollo stood there. His eyes began to quiver, as if he were to cry any moment. Suddenly, he began to yell angrily at the Queen. "Worthless Queen! Your downfall is sure to come! I know it because a weak, female ruler such as your self would never be able to handle the gutless humans! Never!" He than began to walk up the hill quickly. At the top he turned around and yelled, "Your fate is soon to come DQ! And when it all ends for you, it'll be me who's smiling!" After that, Rollo disappeared in to the thick shrubbery. 'I should have listened to the elder earlier on when I first started. If I haven't had allowed him to become a part of my force…' Jack walked up at his sister and asked, "What's wrong? Are you having some regrets of what you have just done?" She nodded. "Well, I'm having some regrets of what I did in the past with Rollo." She then looks down and began thinking to herself again. 'If the Elder said that this event would happen, then…' Stalkid then finally spoke after the long silence he had kept. "You look worried. Are you afraid that Rollo might do something to tear a part your kingdom?"
"Oh! Excuse me. I've forgotten about you. Now, what was it that you said?" The Queen asked.
"Are you afraid that Rollo may do something to your kingdom?"
The Queen was silent for a while and then answered, "I doubt that he would." Jack then threw his arms around him self and began to shiver. "Ooooo, it's getting cool out! Let's go inside where it's nice and warm!" The Queen smiled and replied, "Yes. It is getting chilly out. Lets head back home." Jack then ran ahead of them towards the large structure in the center of the large village. As he ran, the Queen kept her eyes on him until he disappeared into the village. She deeply sighs and looks at Stalkid. "I 'am so afraid of losing him. He's all that I have in my life." She deeply sighs as she looked up at the sky. "I 'am gonna have to tell the elder about this tomorrow." Stalkid began to shiver him self after a while of standing in the cold dark. "I see you are getting cold your self." DQ said, smiling. "Come now. Let me take you to my home."
Stalkid seemed too astonished to answer Jack's simple question. The village that Jack spoke of seemed more like a city to Stalkid. "This is amazing…" He finally said. "And you call this a 'village'?" Jack looked down at the village. "Well, yeah, I guess so. Why do ya ask?"
