Summer is coming... I'll probably have time to write. WARNING: Drug references.
2500 BCE, somewhere in Eurasia.
"It's… amazing." Atras was, of course, referring to the Stoneitron 9001. The young Barbarian wiped a tear from his cheek, gazing in awe at the beautful machine, the very pinnacle of Barbarian engineering.
"Yes, I know right?" Mako looked at his comrade with intense joy. Now they could destroy civilization once and for all. Those wretched Egyptians who dared to taunt them with their pyramids, those stupid Mesopotamians who… and those evil Harrapans with their stupid deities! Now was their one chance for revenge. "The Stoneitron 9001 is my greatest feat in Engineering!" He paused. "Well, except maybe the Shamwow."
The Stoneitron 9001 glistened in the sun, with her dull, monochrome colors, rough surface, jagged feel. Past memories of Mesopotamian spears, skies full of arrows all faded away. Now civilization was at the Horde's very mercy.
Atras turned to Mako. "So, how do we get high?"
Mako gaped at Atras. "You Idiot! This is a machine!"
"For getting high?"
Mako slapped Atras in the face. The sound echoed in the distance. "No you moron, this is a weapon to destroy Civilization once and for all!"
"Oh!"
"Yes, yes, you blubbering pothead."
Atras glistened with joy. "Tell me about the features!"
"Well, this seat is designed to provide as much comfort as possible-"
Atras interrupted. "It's made of stone!"
"As Possible! As I was saying, the Stoneitron 9000 is constructed of the finest stone in the world, cut exclusively at the customer's order-"
Atras looked at the seat more carefully. "Is that my mother's tombstone?"
"You're hallucinating!"
"You see, this machine is making me high!"
Mako snapped at him. "Shut up! Pay Attention!"
Er… not to support drugs. This drug has been found in Central Asia since the third millennium BCE, when it wasn't illegal. This drug kills brain cells, as you can see with poor Atras here.
"Cool story bro."
Mako put his hand on his forehead to contain the headache that suddenly came to him. "Continuing on, the Stoneitron 9001 also has a torch on top of the seat, whenever you're on those pesky nighttime expeditions. Furthering the machine's revolutionary design, we have a stone stationed on the armrest for throwing, as a primary defense."
"Cool."
To clarify, the Stoneitron 9000 looks like a giant pile of rocks.
"To explain the throwing of the stone, it is simple. You simply put food in the chute behind the seat. There, the food will be burned by fire that needs to be set before you operate the machine. This will create energy, allowing the powering of gears and cranks, to regenerate the substances required for the repowering of the sul-"
"Just get to the point!"
"We have an arrow thrower, a rock thrower, a stick thrower, a water thrower, and a flame thrower. We also sell the flamethrower separately in stores. The kids love them!" Mako then smiled.
Atras then suddenly became even more enthusiastic, and got on the machine. "Let's roll!"
"All right! I'll meet you later! We'll met at the Caucuses!
And suddenly, the Stoneitron 9001 took off for Mesopotamia.
New Characters, and I'm rewriting a few for clarification. I'm not good at designing looks. Imagine your own design until Hima releases new characters.
New Characters: Atras: A young Barbarian under Mako's tutelage. VERY BAD ROLE MODEL. Has a brotherly relationship with Mako. Bald, ragged clothing.
Mako: A self-made Barbarian with insane bosses. He often forms relationships with ancient civilizations, then suddenly leaves. Usually, it's not his fault. Always moving, along with Atras. Caucasian, long black hair, dirty ragged clothing.
Ancient Egypt (Upper Nile): The mother of the Egypt Siblings. She's located deep in the desert. She's generally nice, but she's competitive and a control freak. Her house is usually flooded, forcing her to become a master of housework. Eventually followed Ancient Rome, to another world. Don't spill in her home. DON'T.
Egypt (Lower Nile): The older brother of the Egypt Siblings. He lived in the Day-care center of Thebes, and eventually moved into the new city Arabia constructed for him, Cairo. He inherits the family friendly traits her mother had, but later became very quiet, unlike her mother. Has a trust/ hate relationship with the west. Looks like Hima's design.
Aegypt (New): The younger Sister of the Egypt Siblings. She tends to admire other people secretly, especially Greece, even constructing giant buildings during the time Macedon visited. She lives on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. She inherits the competitive traits her mother had, but only talks with friends. Looks? Genderbend Egypt.
Babylon: The older brother of the Mesopotamian siblings. Has a Hate/Distrust relationship with his brother. Generally level headed, cool, calm. Disappeared after Rome, writing a note saying Sumer could finally move inside his home. Loves gardening. Olive skin, very short hair.
Sumeria (Iraq): The younger brother of the Mesopotamian siblings. Generally has a lot of Ambition, that his brother usually fulfills. Very headstrong, with some pretty sucky bosses. Fortunately, he's pretty good with money, and has a deep sense of art. Just look at Baghdad/Babylon before the twentieth century. Olive Skin, Shoulder length hair. Has two long hair curls stretching down to his back.
Nubia(Sudan): The younger brother of Ancient Egypt, he tries to keep her safe, he can't bear to lose relatives. Does the same thing with Kush. Does his best to make his house look like Ancient Egypt's house, to prevent her from being homesick, even if it means flooding his own house. He's loud rude, and aggressive to those who are not kin. He's short, bald, and usually covers himself and friends in clothing to conceal their identities so no one can recognize them. Brutally hates Babylon and Sumer, but eventually makes up with Sumer.
Kush(South Sudan): Nubia's son. After Ancient Egypt left, he and Nubia went on an exile. When he came back to Sudan, he never went outside again, until Nubia finally granted independence. Luke Nubia, but taller and with hair.
