JIN
Two days later, Jin was the first to wake up. Pain in her arm had completely disappeared. Now she had to get used to life with one arm. She felt her body was stronger than ever. Next to her, Piper and Juan were still asleep. Jin saw that her entire body smelt like a rot, covered by black dirt, and evolved again.*(1)*
When she wanted to leave the cave, the servants at the door directed her to a cave. There was clean hot water there. Hot spring waters were coming from the bottom of the mountain. After a thorough wash, Jin wore clean clothes and put on leather armor.
Everyone woke up slowly when she got out. Each one was like a carrion. They went to the hot water pool which is unisex and Akons were cleaning themselves there. After a while, Juan and Piper also woke up. When Akons sent them to the pool, they saw naked red people bathing. Juan and Piper gaped. When Juan gathered himself together and looked at Piper, seeing Piper examining the men, he twisted his nose forward and took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.
When Adbel saw Piper, she called. When Piper reached her, she went into the water in her clothes. Adbel didn't care much. Adbel asked how she was feeling. After everyone had come out of the pool, Anuo, Godo and Telini woke up and moved into the pool. When everyone was ready, the temporary tribal chief Hanua came in.
"Two days ago, Sigors attacked on the night of the ceremony. We lost a lot. Everyone has been pardoned. The obligatory 44 people will leave the town square after 5 hours. 4 more white people will join you. Now that you have completed the preparations, you can start the farewell ceremony."
MADY
Everyone was dispersed in different places. Three hours later Harper and Mady woke up. They took them to the pool. They bathed easily as there was nobody in the pool. Viny and Boden came in as Mady and Harper came out of the shower. Mady screamed. Viny and Boden immediately turned around. Mady and Harper went back to the water as the red people continued to look intriguingly.
Harper shouted, "We're going out now. Everybody out, please for a minute." Red people lost interest and left. Viny and Boden left as well. Before a minute passed, Mady and Harper were out. When Viny and Boden entered the pool, Boden said "Dude, Mady's mounds are legendary."
Viny nodded in agreement. "Harper hasn't improved at all. She is flatter than a table!"
Boden burst into laughter when he heard the words 'flatter than a table'. After a while, "I think I'll be dreaming of Mady for a long time."
While Viny was drying himself, he told Boden in the pool "Dude, the chefs will come soon, there will be no more dreams about beauty."
Then Six chiefs and chieftain with their large muscular bodies came in. They settled in the pool. Viny grinned like a baked head as Boden cursed from inside.
Mady furiously fumed "Those two fools saw everything about me. Idiots!"
Harper's face turned red while clenching her fists "We must take revenge for this"
Mady bit her lips "Yes"
When the two returned to the wide cave, they saw Jin and the others. Everyone was getting stronger. But since Jin and others did not attend the ritual, they were unaware that Mady and Harper had evolved three times more than them.*(2)*
'Hehehe I heard that these came later. They must have eaten the remaining food. They think they're on par with us just because their body has improved a little!" Jin thought. Of course, Piper was not the person who started talking because she was the nerdiest type. "So, you've come" Jin wrinkled her nose.
Harper nodded. Mady didn't even answer. Juan looked at the pair and asked "We'll be out in an hour. Do you feel ready?" When Harper looked at Juan, she remembered two men inside seeing her body and muttered nervously "Hmph"
Looking at the attitude of the two, Jin thought 'Ahaha Juan, that's what you deserve. Like any man who gets the power, you have got it deserved.'
Juan, feeling slightly stressed, thought that it was more sense to go out than wait here. He moved towards the cave's exit and saw Gilen and the others coming just as he was coming out of the cave.
Gilen stated as looking at Juan "Juan, if you go back inside, it is better. The leader will join us soon. After giving a speech for 10 minutes, we will take the blessings of the chieftain and go on a journey."
Juan followed the others back to the cave. When 40 people gathered in groups, Viny and Boden came inside. When Boden met Mady eye to eye, Mady grit her teeth. Harper, on the other hand, clenched her fist and gestured towards Viny, turning her head away from the two men.
'OOO that's great. It looks pretty bad between them. Look at the manners! Ahaha! You fell in my hands, my Viny!' Jin rejoiced with the thought.
Piper realized that they had gone through bad things with each other. She thoughtfully began to wonder how the end of the four people will be.
ADBEL
Adbel entered with eight people with her. There were a total of 44 Akons and 7 earthlings inside. After taking the seat, Adbel called out "We may be going to death. We might be dying on the way. But now we are not mixed with the weak as we used to be. Each of us was strengthened with a ritual."
After looking at everyone with her eyes, Adbel saw that Boden was looking at Mady, not herself, and Mady was looking at him with hatred. Then when she looked at Harper and saw Harper looking at Adbel, she bowed with a solemn look. The last time she looked at Viny, she saw Viny looking at his hands thoughtfully.
Feeling that this group didn't care too much, she said "All of you, listen to me carefully!" Viny looked up and met Adbel. Then when he saw that Adbel was looking at him a little nervously, he gave a slight smile and a nod.
Adbel looked at Boden and Mady with a grunt. The two were looking at Adbel, and Adbel continued to speak, carelessly, as now everyone was paying attention.
"Our path is the path of our wise ancestor Akon. As Akon's grandchildren, we must complete the migration. Sigors will cut our way, Jukors will cut, Heldans and Yurgo will. Even powerful demons will cut it. We will be one to overcome them all. We will give each other our backs and fight to the death. If even one of us migrates to Umra, he or she will be able to save the next generations. This time we must do it."
They exclaimed together. "For our ancestor! For our grandchildren! Great Akons, Devgan Devils, Blood Knights! We woke up, we were startled, and we are one body! Leader Adbel! Our body and soul are entrusted to you!"
As Adbel rose from her seat, Gilen, the gray-haired woman to her right, and the confident-looking stubbly bearded and red-eyed man to her left stepped forward. They took a sack from the ground and shared its contents to everyone, right and left. When Gilen came in front of Juan, she wrinkled her nose and gave a thing to him. Then they took their place when the distribution was completed. Everyone quietly threw what they had taken into the cloth bag on their backs.
Piper looked at its contents curiously and saw pieces of dried meat. It was food rations. A few minutes after everyone waited, 8 chiefs and tribal leader entered. Everyone bent their knees and saluted. Juan, Boden, Piper, Jin, and Harper bent their knees. Viny and Mady stood straight. When Viny and Mady did not bend their knees, they glanced at each other for a few seconds and turned back to the tribal leader. The tribal leader's eyes sparkled as he passed them.
He came to Adbel and stroked her head. "Chief Adbel, it is certain that it is our loss to be you nomadic even though you endure for 22 seconds. But perhaps fate and the Supreme Huggan wanted so. Some white people had traveled with us before. There is no mention of their return in the records. They failed since we're still here. 200 years ago, only those who were chosen by ritual were forced to leave. So today is a special day. I saw these two young men kill Sigors. They are not weaker than us. I performed rite for them because they deserved it. Don't be afraid to seek their help."
The chieftain gave everyone an emotional glance "You are all a part of me. Go and reach Umra. I have three maps. One will be given to your leader, one to her right arm, and one to her left arm. If anyone dies, be sure to capture the map. Umra's location is not marked on the map either. Only water resources on the route to be visited are visible."
"Only those, who are destined to, find the place of Umra. If we mark it on the map and all of you die, our enemies will find it. Then they will attack us not in small groups, but to destroy us. For this reason, even I do not know where it is. A power in our blood will draw us there. The map is just a chance for you to survive. If your leaders die, take the map and look your way. The important thing is to find Umra, even if there is a person among you." The tribal leader took a deep breath to say his last words.
"Red men,
One day when they turn into Blood Knight
They will flock to shores,
Of the fertile lands, Umra.
Devgan will groan again,
With the yells of its devils,
With the glow of the altar in the moonlight,
They will scare the immortals.
Huggan will roar,
Akon will resurrect,
Red men will rise
From the captivity of fate!"
Everyone seemed moved. Some of them were tearing up. It was a very historical moment. The tribal leader pointed to one of the chiefs next to him and took the three maps. He gave a map to Adbel. He squeezed her shoulder and kissed her on her forehead. He did the same to the others. Under the leadership of the chieftain, chiefs and 51 nomads left the cave.
As they passed the town's square, thousands of Akons sent off their nomads with hopeful or tearful eyes. When they came to the gates of the walls, the gates were opened to the end, and each nomad was given a leather water bottle and they were sent away.
The eight akons had 3-meter shields. As soon as they got out of the wall, they lifted the shields and moved forward. 7 of the 14 archers of the group started to move forward by slightly stretching their bows at the back. Everyone else was traveling between Shields and archers.
Because of their tall and long legs and having a strong body above the normal human body, the Akons quickly came to the crossroads in about 20 minutes.
