Chapter 419 A Feast
"We will make use of The Unseen" declared Derdlim, causing Gartran's hair to stand on its end, the disappearance of their old rival tribe had been long attribute to a an unknown entity that the people called 'The Unseen', many knew the story, many had been alive when it occurred, but only their queen and her great feaster actually knew anything substantial concerning this accident, rather suspicious of the event at the time, Derdlim Maulerd had gone to investigate, accompanied by her trusty subordinate.
At the time, she had feared that there had been a third tribe acting in secret, hiding from them all, and that it had been gathering its strength as they, the other two tribes continuously waged war and weakened one another, the truth was much less pleasant however, thanks to her exceptional sense to find what she considered food, the warqueen eventually managed to track down the remains of her former enemies, all stacked atop one another in a hole, covered by a boulder pushed over it.@@@@
It was already strange enough on its own, but what was stranger still, had been the fact that they were all perfectly preserved, not a single sign of composition, as if stuck in the state they had been in when they die, even more odd, was the fact that they had no faces.
All could be somewhat recognised by their bodies, the clothes they wore and such, bit without exception, their faces were missing, only a continuous stop of skin covered it all now, to prevent a panic, Maulerd and Gartran had had the corpses disposed of, so that no one could ever stumble upon them.

Obviously curious about what could have done this in the Eastern Peaks, Derdlim sought to discover the truth, also worried that this same treatment could befall her tribe if the threat was not dealt with quickly, she searched and searched, until The Unseen, made a mistake and revealed itself for a split instant, frankly, the warqueen could not have known for certain that this was what she was looking for, but when she saw that lanky hand peek from the side of a mountain's base, all from the corner of her eye, she knew that she had found it.
As it turns out, The Unseen was indeed elusive, he was not invisible, but seemed to simply know where to go to prevent any eyes from witnessing its abhorrent self.
The rival tribe had been unlucky, their home had been set right on top of its nest, the entrance of which was concealed by an aptly placed rock, the creature pushing it just a slight bit to get in and out.
"No need, you and I shall take care of it" grabbing her cleaver, stretching both arms, pulling onto the muscles of her back.
"And we shall do it right now" bringing the weapon into her shoulder, Derdlim Maulerd was not going to wait around for whatever plan the undeads had in stock for the tribe, remaining passive and only acting when something happened was not the style of the feasters.
Gartran grabbed his own cleaver and followed after his lord, the two of them making a bee-line for the known entrance to their prey's cave, it was a certain distance away however, and their sudden movement attracted the attention of a black-feathered lurker.
Moving parallel to the duo, only standing higher up, carefully stepping and jumping from one place to another, never doing as much as disturbing a single pebble standing just upon the edge.
This bird was without its flock, taking on a solitary assignment, listening in on whatever conversation was occurring further down, slowly but surely, the feathered prowler was moving down the jagged and rugged slope, getting closer and closer to the duo.
This bird had first thought to be deviating from its mission by tailing them, but quickly changed its mind.
The two, and the corvid were all seeking the same thing.
