Ive been looking forward to introduce it. I lil more will come a bit bellow, but first Ill have to decide wich order stuffs will go. Though all this will make stuffs that hasn't happend up till now finaly happend, wich I belive is quite needed to happend. Well lets get things rolling ))
Night is about to fall and there is a slight breath outside, some few junks of some sort probebly being caught up by the wind Syphon thinks as he sits in his office after a long and hard day. He is worn out, his people is hurt and some can't work att full effect. Both Roger and Keith is quite hurt, and Rogers wound is getting worse. Syphon is trying to think out how he is going to do about this but he is quite clueless. Someone knocks on the door. "Come in", Syphon says with a slight depress in his voice. Its Roger and Keith who just have return from the hunt that Syphon kinda regrets he sent em out again to, but he feelt he had no chooise. He looks at them, and he sees the wounds, getting worse, he knows they are hurt and can't do for how long. Roger and Keith explains to Syphon about what happend out there, Syphon figures, its no use sending out again at the time being. (your lil text you wrotte what they said and stuffs, happend before they entered the office)
Syphon looks up again and says:
"Roger, I need you to evalute any buildings thats still able to be converted into working structures."
"And Keith, I need you to start removing some of the rubble and debris, to clean the city."
Roger and Keith looks up at Syphon with a agreeing look and nods their orders. "And yeah, one last thing, You are to be equiped with shotguns, as well as Derrick and Jamal, could you inform them that? But now you need a good nite sleep, its becoming late."
Both responds, "Ofcourse" and they leaves the office, heading to their house for a good nite sleep.
Early next morning everyone starts with their stuffs they are to do, everything goes smothly and so on. Though to Rogers despair, many buildings are to broken down to be of any use, even after repair. But he sees that there is possible to work out 3 buildings into working condition, though with all the matrials around used up, they need to collect new wood to build these up.
2 Houses (200 units of wood each) (2 Mans work each)
1 Small house(100 units of wood)) (1 Mans work each)
The rest of the day goes smotly and no worries.
This padden is keept up on the following day, though Roger have not much to do, but he decides to help is friend keith clean the city, though they haven't found much of use yet, but probebly they will later.
Though, early next day, when the wind is blowing strong and everyone is having a bit of hard time to work on their stuffs as the wind is hampering everyone, Syphon who is guarding the town sees something in the distanse, he takes it as 2 men... no, 3 men it is, they are walking slowly towards the city. Seems to take quite a long whille in this wind that blows like mad, even syphon has some trouble to stand straight. But he decides to sneak towards the men, wanting to know a bit more, he uses the Binoculars so he can keep a comfitble disstanse. After walking for about five to ten minuts he can see the men. Its Shaka and two other guys thats walking there, but to Syphons despair Shaka seems to be missing a arm, to be exact, the left arm is gone. Syphon takes a risk, knowing Shaka was a good man after all and that they did like each other consithering the conversations they had now and then. After another 20 minutes of walk and partly running he finaly reaches the area were the three men are. He looks up at Shaka and sees that he is several hurt, the arm is missing, he has big claw marks on his body, one is on the chest and one over the face. His arm thats still around seems to be almost out of order and its dripping blood of it. And when we looks up at the face again we see that he is missing several theets as well as its dripping blood there as well. "What happend?!", Syphon quite screams. "I... I...", is all Shaka seems to be avaible to say, and he coughs some blood up. "What about you two, what happend?", he screams at the other mens. They know they have no choise but explaining, consithering they have no weapons and Syphon is the one carrying a rifle with him.
"Yeah, its a long story, lemme beging", one of the mens says.
"It began quite a whille ago, when our gang decided to attack Rerzo, though we were against it, me and Jack. We knew have meet Zerto and Exoclyps ones a whille ago, at the begining of their journy I belive, we weren't much of friends, but not enemies either. We couldn't see any reason to attack his village, so we said no and the gang kicked us out. Shaka he was splited, he was a well lojal man to the gang but he was also a good friend of us. He went with the gang, but promess that he one day would find us again. He did, and I can tell you it wasn't a second to late.", the man named Jeff says. And Syphon takes a closer look at them and sees that they are quite hurt as well, but not nearly as hurt as Shaka is, who just fell to the ground out of pain. Syphon fastly helps him up on his feets, but Shaka is eager to sit down. Syphon lets him do so as he can se Shaka has trouble standing. "Please continue", Syphon says in a nice tone.
"Yeah, as I said, it wasn't a sencond late. We were hunting the wasteland trying to find some food, though we were weak armed and wasn't to prepaired, and we suddenly were facing 5 gecks, one being a gold geck. I can't remember much more after that as I was hit to the ground pretty fast, a wounder we are still alive. Later we woke up in a dark cave, we were stuck there for about a day or so, and suddenly Shaka shows up in the horisont. He was carring a mine of some sort that he were putting up against the gecks, he managed to kill two of em, including the golden one, though he lost his arm in the go as well. But he was hit some before he managed to get the mine to fire of, seeing how hurt he is. The other three runed away from the explosion and we tried to take of and so we managed, though we couldn't go to fast as you see, Shaka is well hurt. And then you came and here we are.", Jeff explains in a voice that shows that he is hurt.
"I see", Syphon says. "Lets head back to the village, there I think we can get you some rest, and we will see what we can do about those wounds". Though he knew that they didn't have much of medical experties in their outpost. They all went back to the outpost. Some of the mens comes and see those who have come and recognice Shaka and starts to feel sorry for him, as he was a good mate to them, even though he was a slave. The men are taking to one of the houses, for the medical care that can be given, not much though.
The days goes by and the next one is about to rise. Not much have happend and not much can be done, everyone is carrying one with their work, though a lil hampered by the knowing of Shaka and whats happend to him. This day goes by as well, not much different from the last one, the workers are about to get done with their jobs, finaly feeling they are done and such. The new day rises and the sun is about to go up, but not that much yet. The sun is quite low, the wind is going slow, people are about to start with their work. And in the horisont of the west there is a man walking, some kind of od man it seems, and you see there is some item close to him, almost looks like its howering, but you know that can't be, right? You feel a bit wierd about this, coz its something with the air as he comes closer, you get more and more sure that its something mystical with this man. After some hours he finaly reaches the borders of the city, though the wall have made him come from the south-easth when entering. The man is standing there, he looks a bit scary and there is clear signs of a long 'venture. Next to him there is some small critter carring a larget coffets on his back. "So thats what made the item look like howering", Syphon thinks. The man carries some kind of cloak wich screams of mould green. His head is quite covered with a hood but you can see his green eyes and scrumpy skin in his face. He is probebly not the youngest man around Syphon guess.
Syphon aprouch the man and says, though a bit scared, "Hi there starnger, who might you be and what do you do here?" The man answers, "My child, call me Xzo. Ive walked a long way from the west, going both south and north I finaly found this city. You seems to be of good caliber, May I ask your name before we continue?"
"Syphon", Syphon responds fast.
"Yes my child, thats it, you're correct. Now lets go on, maybe we go inside?" Though you're a lil scared who this man could be and what he could do, and seeing that he already knew your name you lead him to your office and goes inside with him. You both sit down, and he continues. "Yes, this is a nice house" and he looks around the walls and up the roof "But it miss the magnificents of a real sight, but its understandable." He keeps looking around, and after a lil whille he stares straight into Syphons eyes, keeping up with it until Syphon interupts it with "And what happend? Why did you come here?" Xzo stops stareing and looks around a bit more and then he says, "Yes... yes... my village, once a proud village of the west, its no more. I was the shaman of the village, I toke care of our soldiers, gave them my experties, we won many fights, that would seem doomed in a eye of a outsider. But with my skills they weren't. But one day, they came, mens with big weapons, they killed everyone, it wasn't much we could do about it, they were to many, way to many. Though I managed to get away, it was a easy task for me to survive, though noone else did. Ive wandered days, weeks, over a month, and I finaly came here." He stops and looks around again, now oppening is coffert wich you cant see much into as its from the wrong direction, and he takes out some sort of drink and drinks it. Then he puts the bottle back into his coffert and closes the coffert. And then he starts to talk again, but now his voice have completly changed, to someone that sounds a lot younger, now not a old man ready to die, but a man in the ages of 30 or about, "My child, if you grant me space here, all I need is a small house, and I could use some of the geck pelts you have" but now you get confused, coz there is no way he could have seen those, they were on the other side of the office. "I see you are confused, ahh, the pelts? Well, just say I got a good sense for stuffs okay?" And you have no chooise but accepting that as a answer. "And yeah, Ill need one man, to help me with whatever I need help with. If you grant me this, Ill help your city out, make sure everyone is feeling well, and... No, ive said enough. Its time for you to make your chooise. But bevare, Im my own man and Im not the one to follow someones orders." And with that he stops, he sits quitly and now he has started to stare straight into Syphons eyes again....
(1) The men from before, what will you do about them? And Shaka who is about to die, what about him?
(2) And the man who calls him self Xzo, even though you have some doupts its his real name, how will you stand up to his demands?
