- Delyah -

“That’s not why I’m here,” I say carefully. “I want my tribe and your tribe to be allies.”

“Allies are often good to have,” the old man says. “I often thought we should get some. I’m glad Brax’tan sees it the same way.”

Brax’tan looks at me. “We haven’t actually agreed to be allies. Yet.”

“Oh, but I’m sure she will agree. Or do you need your chief’s approval, perhaps? Are you here as his envoy, Delyah?”

“I’m the… um… leader of our tribe.”

“Hear that, Brax’tan? You brought us their chief.”

Brax’tan looks at me with new interest. “Really? You’re the chief of your alien tribe?”

“We don’t call it chief,” I say. “We just say I’m the leader. Sometimes. When some difficult decision has to be made.”

“Which is precisely the time when a chief is needed,” Truri’ax says. “Your tribe may not call you Chief Delyah. But I will.”

For some reason, the old man’s kind words hit me somewhere soft, and my eyes are suddenly flooding. “Thank you.”

“Have you fed her, Brax’tan? She looks under-nourished.”

“Not recently,” Brax’tan admits. “I will go and arrange it.” He gets to his feet and hurries out of the room.

Truri’ax chuckles again. “I hope you can overlook his youthful follies. Young men often forget that not everyone is as strong and powerful as they. He is the greatest chief we have ever had. And I should know. Chief Delyah, while you wait for the no doubt lavish meal he’s currently ordering prepared, perhaps you would like something to tide you over.”

The old man goes to a wicker basket and quickly places a piece of dried stew wrapped in a leaf in front of me, as well as a cup of pure water.

I bite into the food, which is not that different from the dish that Sophia sometimes prepares. “Delicious,” I state with my mouth full. “Did you cook this?”

“It’s difficult to cook under the ground,” he explains as he sits down. “The smoke has nowhere to go. The tribe usually cooks one common meal to save on both firewood and food, and to have one time of day when all tribesmen are gathered. Another of Brax’tan’s ideas. It creates commonality and a sense of unity. I’m afraid that was lacking before.”

“Has he turned everything around for the tribe? Made it better?”

“Very much so. He was always full of ideas, Brax’tan. And more importantly, he was full of action. He felt we should take better care of the Lifegivers. When that was not done, he did it himself. He felt the caves were getting too crowded. When nobody would listen, he dug tunnels and holes for him and the other young boys to live in. He felt that the village was not well enough guarded. When nobody would go on patrol, he and his young friends would take turns outside the gate. He felt that we didn’t have enough food. When the chief wouldn’t order more men out to hunt, he would go himself. He felt that we should go to Bune and investigate the mysterious lights that would sometimes be seen.
