Chapter 3 - The Tribe

"LET'S GETCHA HOME BOI"

As my father started to walk into the forest he spoke to me, thinking that I couldn't understand a word. "YE GEST WAIT 'TILL THE TRIBE SEES YA. OH, THE LOOKS THEIR FACES, YER ONE UGLY OGRE CUB YA KNOW DAT."

Despite his thick accent and deep voice I understood my father clear as day. Or should I say night. It was only then that I noticed that it wasn't the sun that lit up the sky but the stars and the moons. *Wait holdup, moons, why are there eight?*

"OH, WHAT SEEMS TO HAVE CAUGHT YER EYE LITTLE ONE." said my father as he followed my line of sight. "AH, THE MOONS, YE SHOULD KNOW THAT EACH ONE REPRESENTS THE DOMAIN OF A GOD. AYE, THE BLUE ONE IS THE DOMAIN OF RATHUN, GOD OF WATER. THE BROWN ONE IS GERTAN, GOD OF EARTH. THE GREEN IS LANUS, GOD OF AIR. THE RED IS PANFU, GOD OF FIRE. THE GOLD IS HERATA, GODDESS OF LIGHTNING AND THAT SILVER ONE IS HER SISTER, ATAREH, GODDESS OF THUNDER. THAT WHITE ONE IS WATO, QUEEN OF THE GODS AND THE GODDESS OF LIGHT AND LIFE. THAT BLACK ONE THAT YOU CAN BARELY SEE IS THE DOMAIN OF THE KING OF THE GODS, ZADERAN, GOD OF DARKNESS AND DEATH. YA SEE HOW THE MOONS ARE IN TWO LINES. LONG AGO, BEFORE RAGERIA EVEN EXISTED, THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE GODS STARTED A WAR THAT WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THEM BOTH AS YE CAN'T HAVE LIFE WITHOUT DEATH OR DEATH WITHOUT LIFE. SO IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE BALANCE THE GODS DIVIDED INTO TO SIDES, WITH THE GODS OF WATER AND AIR, AND THE GODDESS OF LIGHTNING FOLLOWING WATO. THE OTHERS STAYED LOYAL TO ZADERAN."

As he stopped talking, I saw that we had arrived at a cave in the side of a cliff. As he continued into the cave I could still see thanks to my [Darksight] so when the cave started to get wider. What I saw was amazing and terrifying at the sametime, large huts were everywhere with Ogres going in and out of them. The huts seemed to be made of both bones and metal, making clear to me that Ogres live in the remains of their enemies.
