I DO NOT OWN SONIC SONIC IS OWNED BY SEGA
The two men carry the deer into the village, still dancing. The VILLAIGERS, also wearing simple tunics made from both "cheap" cloth and tanned animal hides; give what resembles a fist pump in response.
YOUNG WOMAN (VO):
They were an anomaly of human civilization. You will find them in no history book.
The two men place the deer outside of a cylindrical white tent with other dead animals.
YOUNG WOMAN (VO):
They were known as the Men of the Skies. Named for the high plateaus they descended from.
The two men enter the tent as focus shifts to the villagers doing villager things.
YOUNG WOMAN (VO):
While they roamed the earth, they touched few outsiders. And when they were wiped out... Nobody paid them any mind.
A YOUNG GIRL, 10, is playing with a rag doll outside the biggest tent in the village. Her MOTHER enters.
MOTHER:
Tikal, pi ni art Tu co Ta Samae?
{Tikal, why are You not with Your Teacher?}
TIKAL:
Mai Ma, Ego vul ingra.
{But Mom, I want to play.}
MOTHER:
Ni, ced e art co Ta Samae.
{No, go and be with Your Teacher.}
Mother points to the tent's exit.
TIKAL:
Mai pi?
{But why?}
MOTHER:
Ni duk pi. Ced na!
{Don't ask why. Go now!}
Tikal puts her doll down, gets up, and heads out of the tent towards a nearby one. Focus shifts to a completely different tent.
INT. STATE
A MAN wearing fine linen and a gold band around his head, is reading a piece of parchment before ANOTHER MAN enters, noticeably out of breath. Upon entering, he kneels down and places his left fist against his heart.
KNEELING MAN:
Kaif! Ego ten sam ari geo for ich yurs.
{King! I carry news from land beyond the tents.}
The Kaif gestures to the man to rise, he does.
KAIF:
Quel art for?
{ What happened?} (What is past?)
MAN:
U Armae hab vent a co ich Mar.
{An Army has gathered by the sea.}
KAIF:
Armaes hab vent poly temps. Ich Ethno Rossiya crak co Lur.
{Armies have gathered many times. The Russian Nation rules with Them.}
MAN:
Mai Lur sci ari Neu. Lur dic ari Nas fin.
{But They know of Us. They speak of Our end.}
The Kaif is shocked.
KAIF:
Quel art Ta fid-ver?
{What is your certainty?} (faith-truth)
MAN:
Ego hab spec Lur. Ego hab aud Lur. Lur Crakae sci ich Langu Sanct.
{I have seen Them. I have heard Them. Their Leader knows Our Language.} (The Sacred Language)
KAIF:
Mithrail art co Neu. Quand art Lur a?
{Mithrail be with Us. Where are They at?}
MAN:
A Yalta.
{In Yalta.}
The Kaif looks down in contemplation.
KAIF:
Ego hab fin Ega Dems ari sequ ich vias ar'Ethnos for ich yurs.
{I have kept My People from following the ways of the Nations beyond the tents.}
Ich geo hab ni nik ferm circ Neu, ce hab na vent a Nas port.
{The world has not only closed around Us, it has come to Our door.}
MAN:
Kaif?
KAIF:
Ced e dik ich Assae a vent. Dik Lur Neu ni ced per Nas via ari viv a fin. Dik Lur: A ce jor, Neu ced assai!
{Go and tell the Soldiers to gather. Tell Them We will not allow Our way of life to end. Tell Them: On this day, We will fight!}
The Man kneels again.
MAN:
Ta voc dik leg.
{Your voice speaks law.}
The Man gets up and exits. The Kaif looks around.
KAIF:
Mithrail art co Neu pan.
{Mithrail be with Us all.}
Again, I'm sorry for the wait, (at least it wasn't 3 years this time) I've been working on a lot of other stuff. (See my DeviantART, link in my profile page) NEXT CHAPTER IN DUE TIME (see note below)
Okay, I'm not gonna be able to easily pump these out like I used to. Mostly because as you can see this one involves an invented language where I have to occasionally invent new words, I'm in college, and I'm also writing an original series on DeviantART titled Archmage, which I'm also trying to get published.
So, I AM going to finish this story, but after that, it's the end of this series. It ends on a high note, and has themes that better serve as an ending and functions as a spiritual segue to Archmage.
This is where you guys come in. While I work on a schedule for this, please check out my DeviantART, read Archmage, and leave feedback. Also within a week of this part going up, I'm gonna start a series on YouTube of me doing epic readings of all my fanfictions, in front of a camera. My YouTube channel also has a link on my profile page.
Well, that was a lot of postscript!
