“Sai'ex was shocked and he trembled all over. Still he managed to get us boys to the edge of the jungle. He instructed us to run to the Dereken tribe and tell them what had happened. But before we could get anywhere, we were surrounded by Nusin. Some of them had been careless in applying the soot, and their yellow stripes were clearly visible. I had gone through the stripening, and I was as tall as they were. Still it seemed like they towered over us, dark and evil presences with their spears. They ...”

His voice cracks and his breathing is shallow. “They said mocking words to shaman Sai'ex. I remember them well, but I will not repeat them. He responded with fiery anger and accusations at their cruel misdeeds. He condemned them on behalf of their own Ancestors, naming many of their former legendary warriors as disgusted witnesses to this terrible action. He spoke forcefully and convincingly. Some of them wavered and lowered their weapons. Then ... one Nusin plunged his spear into the heart of the youngest boy, little Trener'ox, who was only ... four ...”

He's gives in to his grief, and at that moment I love him very deeply. I wipe my own eyes and sniffle so that he knows he's not alone with his emotions. I sense that he feels no shame in crying, like an Earth man might. This is natural to him, and he's not ashamed. It makes me admire him even more.

He takes a deep, shaking breath. “The other boys tried to run, but were murdered before they could get far. Shaman Sai'ex had his sword and was able to fight off two Nusin. I had no weapon, and a large enemy was coming towards me with his spear ready to throw. Sai'ex then tossed his sword to me. Disarming himself. It's unheard of. No warrior ever gives his sword away. But our shaman did. For the tiny chance that I might be able to defend myself against the one Nusin who was preparing to throw his spear at me. While Sai'ex was surrounded by enemies himself. 'Stay alive', he urged me. Those were his last words.”

He wipes his tears. “Of course it meant his own death. Probably in vain. He knew it. And the Nusin laughed at him before they killed him.”

He stares into the fire for a long time before he goes on. I just hold him.

“Their laughter made me ... angry. The world turned red around me. Then the next thing I remember is that the big Nusin was dead on the ground and I was still hacking at him, seeing everything through a red mist. I chopped him into pieces. The other Nusin kept their distance and just looked at me with horror. Then I ran into the jungle.”

We sit in silence while the fire burns itself lower. I'm grateful that he's told me all this. And I feel honored, too. I think I may be the first to hear this tale.
