"Well there are two more to add to the chest, three more to go and we'll meet each other soon, I can feel it but, first I'm taking out the slave trade in the tribe then I'll take out the last three of his followers, then Alyan you'll wish I really was killed that day. I've already determined how to end you and you'll make for a glorious sight. And my last farewell from the tribe."
Polemos then gathered Nesams ashes, and put them in another urn. Then put it with his brother's ashes in the same ring, then walked over to make a feast.
Polemos kept his promise as he made a huge feast of roasted red horned bearded lizard meat and even pulled out some wine from Resams ring for a little surprise.
They both continued to feast and even drink the wine til the second moon was high in the sky as it joined the first moon sending beautiful silver lights across the desert bringing a very mystical beauty to the sands.
"You know Rose, I've been to many different places in my life but this is one sight that I'll never be able to forget. And the best part is that I'll have so much more to see in this world as there is so much I haven't seen yet. You wanna join Rose?"
Polemos smiled as he was laying on his back looking at the beautiful night sky as he was speaking to Rose while atop her head. Rose's only response was a continued silent but, content hiss as she was already asleep after she ate her fill.
Polemos could only wryly smile as he shook his head.
'Can't blame her she did eat a lot and will have to go and hunt in the morning, then need to get back to our camp then focus on training and getting stronger. I'll need it when I get back to the tribe as I'll definitely start to get some notice. Especially since I'll be messing with the problem in the tribe.'
"Will Alyan send more of his people here since he won't get a response back? I mean I would if not, then it just shows that he doesn't care about his men, how was he made the new Hunting captain? It definitely wasn't because of his smarts, it must be his strength then."
Polemos continued to lose himself as he continued to stare into the night sky as he continued on until he faded away into the land of sleep and dreams.
—————————————————————————————————————
Five days had gone past since Polemos ended Resams and Nesams life.
Alyan was really starting to get pissed off as Resam and Nesam were supposed to be back two days ago with a report of what they saw as well as allow him to complete part of his plan of being the new leader of the tribe. But what made him furious was the loss of money they had as well as he had to deal with telling both Hassan and Alayah what happened.
Then Alyan heard a timid voice outside his tent calling his name, that made his brows furrowed in annoyance as he hid the map in his tent as well as put on a fake smile for who was about to enter.
"Um, hel-hello, Alyan, it's me Jar-roll, I was wondering if you heard anything about my kids?"
"So it's you Jar-roll, come in, come in and sadly no. No one I sent out has heard anything about Resam and Nesam, if I don't hear anything in the next day I'll personally head out to look, myself."
Alyan had a very worried and concerned expression on his face as he spoke to Jar-roll as it looked like Alyan cared for his two sons. But Alyan was having a very different conversation going on in his head.
'Why would I care about two useless morons who can't even complete a simple mission as SCOUTING! If anything they were only useful because of the amount of money they were able to get through the slave trade. That was the only reason I actually cared to remember their names.'
"You will oh thank you Alyan, thank you. May Ra continue to watch over you and may Ra, give her mighty wisdom to you Alyan, if you find anything please let me know."
Jar-roll had a very happy expression on his face as Alyan showed his concern for his two sons as he believed Alyan cared and worried for them as he did.
Alyan smiled in response, as he also asked a question towards Jar-roll as it concerned something about what happened to Ellios. Alyan had actually forgotten that he asked about what had happened to him as he truly didn't care for him all that much.
"It's no problem Jar-roll, I see them as my brothers also, and I have a question of my own if you don't mind me asking?"
"Well no, sure I don't mind."
Alyan smiled as he heard Jar-rolls' response.
"I heard you have an older slave in your care, I was wondering if you could send him to my tent as I have some questions for him."
Jar-roll was surprised as Alyan was talking about Elder Spear. As he started to get a little worried as he thought his damn slave was going to get himself into trouble.
"Has he done anything to offend you?"
Alyan slowly shook his head as he replied back to Jar-roll.
"No, no, no, just have a few questions to ask him is all. It was reported to me that he might have seen or known what happened to Ellios as no one else has heard what happened to him, is all."
But Alyan had a hunch that this slave that Jar-roll had would be able to answer him as he had multiple reports showing that an older slave had told a story about someone standing up for them. When he was first told about this news he was shocked as he burst out laughing as he thought the messenger was telling a joke but, when he asked it to be repeated again he saw that the messenger was serious.
"Oh well that's good then but if he has caused you any problems then do what you must. Just please let me know immediately if you hear anything about my sons. And I'll send him to your tent later so you can question him. And again may Ra guide you Alyan."
Jar-roll thanked Alyan as he put his hands together in front of his chest.
Alyan only replied with a nod of his head, and asked one more thing of Jar-roll.
"I can definitely do that Jar-roll, oh and when you head out can you please ask the guard to have Ashern, Hassan, and Alayah come and see me as it is urgent please."
Alyan had a fake smile as well as a fake happy expression on his face when he asked Jar-roll.
"I can definitely do that for you Alyan."
Jar-roll smiled as he left the tent and informed the guard about what Alyan asked.
When Jar-roll left his tent Alyan dropped his mask as he turned back around and revealed the old map again as he awaited what remained of his three remaining members of his circle.
'That lowly piece of filth slave, how dare he start this shit, how dare he insult me like this, I don't care if he does know anything about Ellios or not I'll still kill him regardless as I've done the others.'
Alyan continued to wait until he heard the guard.
"Um Second Hunting Captain, they've arrived."
Alyan responded with a cold voice.
"Send them in then, you fool."
"Y-yes sir!"
When Ashern, Hassan, and Alayah entered Alyan's tent and saw that he was angry Hassan and Alayah sighed as they knew what was coming next. But Ashern was the only one to respond as he was interrupted from his play time again.
"AGAIN, Alyan! Again, what in all the Gods' names is going on here, this is the second time you've interrupted me and you better have a damn good reason!!"
Alyan didn't even turn around as he responded.
"Well for one there is a slave that'll be sent over soon so you can have some fun with that, as he is apparently the one who started the whole story of someone doing something for the slaves. And as for you two I've got some news that you need to hear…"
Alyan spoke of everything he was told and what was gathered as they all awaited for the slave to arrive at his tent.
When Elder Spear arrived at the large and luxurious tent he didn't shake in fear or fret for his life as he knew one day this would happen when Polemos killed Ellios as well as when he told the story.
'Please don't be sad Polemos it's my time anyway I'm already old and was going to die soon anyway just the date has been moved ahead. Just please don't lose that excitement you had about learning and doing new things. And don't worry I left a journal with Carl that'll explain everything as well as more of my knowledge and wisdom. Live and find your happiness Polemos, I'll be watching.'
Elder Spears' last few thoughts echoed in his mind as he was called into the Second Hunting Captains tent, as he smiled knowing what his end would be.
