Chapter 2
The sun rose from the horizon, all of the women of Mejale heard of the intruder of last night, knowing that this intruder is a man, the sworn enemy to the women. All of the women, even the fighters and head commanders were a little afraid of what this man is capable.
'How is he doing Paiway?' Dita asked coming into the room and walking toward the injured man.
'He's ok, but he needs a lot of rest.' Paiway answered.
'That's good to hear' Dita remarked. She looked at the man. He looked like he was in his late 30s, early 40s. He was about 6'5, had long black hair down to his waist and a long braided beard. He had a defined build with couple scars on his chest. He wore black pants and a bullets belt. He wore wrist guards with spikes. This was Dita's and most of the women's first encounter with a man this close.
'You guys did an excellent job in bringing this scum down.' Paiway said.
'But…Barnette only used her sleeping needles.' Dita said
'Really!...Because when you guys brought him here, he was badly injured…had some major cuts and bruises.' Paiway questioned.
'I didn't know.' Dita replied, staring back at the man.
Meanwhile in the council all of the women, except for Paiway and Dita, were discussing the important issue of last night's assault. As all the women were taking about it some of them protested giving the man medical treatment.
'We should send him back to Tarak!" one protested.
'Send him to the harvest spring' another one said.
'Please be quiet, Mango is coming…' Barnette announced.
All of the women fell into a complete silence when Mango slowly walked in. As soon as she sat down, the rest of the women followed, Dita and Paiway finally came inside and sat down beside Misty and the others.
'As we all well know, last night's search of an intruder resulted in this situation we are facing now…Dita, Barnette and Jura bravely took on this person…this man and survived…but now we treat this man humanely because we are not barbarians unlike the men who either kill or let an injured person like this one die. Now I ask you what do you think should we do with him.' Mango asked looking at the women.
"He should be our prisoner!' one of them said, nearly all loved the idea and cheered on for it.
'We must show these 'men'…these scumholes that we are the superior race!' Barnette yelled out.
'So you want him to be a prisoner…is that what all of you want?' B.C asked the women.
'No, make him work around Mejale!' Celtic said. This brought a huge up roar of cheers from all the women except for Dita and Ezra. While Jura imagined this man attending to all her needs…this of course put a huge smile on her face.
"Ok then…he'll be like a slave around here." B.C said.
"Paiway have you found out any information about this man?" Jura asked…which silenced all of them in order to hear the answer.
"Surprisingly yes….his name is Serge Gaa…Gaahl….Gaahlskagg, he's about 39 years old…and that's about it." Paiway said.
An facial expression formed on Mango's face…an expression that none of the girls, even miss Gascogne, ever witnessed before. There was a long moment of pure silence, until one of the girls asked Mango,
"What about this Serge Gaa…oh whatever his name is. What is so important about him?" Jura asked.
"His name is Serge Gaahlskragg, one of the four demonic generals of Tarak, 2nd master of impale sword, and the sacred servant of the fog." Meia answered. This answer sank the hearts of everyone in the room.
"So…this man, Serge, is no ordinary fighter of Tarak" Misty questioned.
"That is absolutely correct Misty. This man…was the same man who lead the assault on our former homeland Nirvana. Serge Gaahlskragg is the demonic shadow general, the second strongest general of Tarak" Mango answered.
Well hope this kept your interest. Please send in feed back.
