The New Zebrican Empire
Chapter 3 - News spread/ Gather the tribes!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt had been several days since me, and Honey Comb fought off King zeku's raiders. Honey had shown me around the village, I was liked by everyone, including the children. Some of the children colts and fillies saying if I take the empire, they want to serve me when they grow up. I thought that was cute, my young colts as soldiers and warriors, and the fillies as my little housemaids now that is rich. I was more focused on planning my rebellion, and I know we still lack in both strength and numbers. Honey told me she knew that there are other tribes within zebraic that not zebras, but if convinced they could help us, and as for the other zebras. I told them to spread terror within Zeku's ranks of his army, and spreading word of our revolution amongst the slaves to gain there support in secret.
King Zeku's POV
"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!" I shouted with angry in my voice as I stood in front of my cowardly raiders.
"You all had one job: Get the Chiefs' daughter and her people here, and torch the place. WHAT IN TARTARUS HAPPENED?!"
"It was a hairless ape my lord" one of the raiders said while building up some courage in his words.
"That thing freed our new slaves, he fought off our warriors with a weapon stronger than iron"
This shocked King Zeku a lot 'A weapon stronger than iron, how is that possible?' I thought to himself while scratching my head uncomfortably.
"I show this thing what happens to those who dare defy me." I said making my claim.
"I want this creature brought before me dead or alive, and whoever bring me his weapon shall be commander of my elite guard, with a healthy young mare as your bride." I stated to my subjects with pride, as they bowed in my honor.
3rd POV
As Chris was walking around the village he got a better way a around with a few special looking huts. One of they was a blacksmith that is making short tipped iron throwing spears, and a few huts away was the village shaman's hut where he is their only healer by the name of Zuba. Chris was enjoying his new life so far, but first he must conquer the land to make a success for himself. He checks on his iPhone ever once and awhile to check both the time, and to get new ideals to help him out in his war. His thoughts were interrupted by Honey's call to come in her hut for important matters so he went in.
Chris' POV
I walked in Honey's hut to see what she wants. As I went through her hide door, I saw a lot of zebras in the hut both old, young, and Honey as she was sitting in front of the fire waiting for me. So I decided to sit a quarter away from her cause I don't want to cause a scene.
"No Chris over here." Honey said patting the hide mat next to her. 'Ok so she does want me to sit by her, but why?' as I thought to myself while getting up to sit next to her.
"My people you have fought well." she said acting like a leader. "You showed courage, and determination to our village to save what we have little of our lives here these past hard years. But we are in dire need of help, and we made our own war against Zeku himself." The zebras are getting scared that they are fighting a whole land that supports slavery.
"But fear not my people we will turn this around with our first new ally from far beyond." honey said pointing to me with a smile on her face.
"Chris Sandbar, you done what no one else would do here. Free our brother and sisters, and fight back against a impossible enemy we never dare, or could face. And by the power invested in me by my father, and my ancestors, I promote you as my general of this rebel army will you accept?" she asked me with hope in her eyes with total belief as well.
"Yes my Chieftess." I answered as I rose up "I will lead us to victory against the tyrant king, and help build a new public order in this land!" the zebras were cheering yet again for not just me, but Honey as well as she smiled.
After the meeting, I went to the blacksmith to give out new instructions to a new weapon called an iklwa a short stabbing spear with a long, broad, and indeed sword-like spearhead. I also told the smith to add some jewels to the backend of the wooden shaft to make it presentable.
Meanwhile, at the village the tribe was buffing out its wooden walls with tar and mud to hold it stronger. I have send out zebras across the savannah with one word 'rebel' to tell the leaders of different species chiefs from other tribes that are against slavery as well. To my shock 65% are coming over to our village, as for the 35% wanted nothing to do with us saying they have problems of their own, and saying we should either run away or fend for ourselves. I got reports from the zebras I sent out returned to tell me that the other tribes that are helping us now are other zebra tribes, the elephants of the Mando tribe, the antelopes from the north east called the Flora tribe, the gazelles from the Grass tribe, and the giraffes from the Treetop tribe.
"These are the only ones that applied?" I asked my zebra messengers to judge them.
"Yes our general, the chiefs are planning to come to this village within days from now." my one messenger said with a honest tone.
"You may go now, you done well." as I dismissed them from duty.
Just then, Honey came in just as I dismissed the zebras.
"So, how did it go? Are they coming?" she asked with a little worry in her voice.
"I am proud to say yes my chieftess. 65% of the other tribes including newly soon to be slaves in our ranks as we free them along the way. But 35% of them don't want any part of this said fend or run. I explained to honey as she sat down taken aback of what the other tribes said.
"You done me well General Sandbar you are now dismissed for the day you may go." she said with a happy tone. I made my way out the hut to see a bunch of zebras gather to see me.
"Alright everyone!" I said "I got word from other tribes saying they agreed to join us" this made the zebra's morale go high.
"So until they get here, train hard, double the watch, let no one put out this spark of rebellion before it burns bright as a blazing torch!" with that they were training harder than ever thanks to my military teachings from my dad, and gram pap.
'But man, I wonder what anthropomorphic savannah creatures look like.' I thought to myself as I went to my new hut to sleep.
