Tribes Part 4 'The Man'

I knew Hetro just wouldn't let that happen. Certainly not without a fight.
"Chief we only came out for food, otherwise we'd starve! We did not trespass your land intentionally." He said, raising his voice.
I raised my eye brows at him, and the Chief studied the both of us whilst stroking his beard.
"Hmm..." The Chief said thoughtfully. "On one condition may you come out of here alive. If you complete a mission for me."
"Certainly, what's the mission?"
"You are to be notified of that... Tomorrow. Seven. Now guards, take them away. They are a disgrace go my eyes."
The guards took us again, and led us out the tipi. As they did I whispered to Hetro, " I'm surprised he could see us at all." And in reply he snorted.
"So what are we supposed to do?" I ask one of the guards when we're outside.
They glance at each other, then one speaks up.
"Your can look around. Try and run we'll kill you. Go." One said bluntly.
We turn and walk away from them.
"Well, they're very welcoming here aren't they?" Hetro said.
"Yeah but it's not like they'd treat trespassers like royalty guests, is it?" I reply.
"I guess."
Because I was not being dragged around by guards like a wild animal I actually saw the place, and in fact it was really nice. The tipis I immediately thought as houses, and were lined up quite neatly. The small wooden buildings each had one or two people in them, who were either serving to people or making some sort of food. Signs were dotted around with foreign writing on them. That's when I remember tribes speak a totally different language to camps. There were dirt tracks that led to each tipi, and building, and also to a centre part of the tribe in which was a large died out fire with logs on. Fiery embers beneath the burnt logs indicated that it was not long since it had last been light. Around the camp fire was a large space, and a clear path to the exit if the tribe and around the whole place was a wooden wall.
"Hey, you two." A calm voice, with a thick tribal accent, called from behind us.
We both spun round to see a friendly looking man with tan skin, black hair and glistening brown eyes.
"You need a drink? It's free." He asked, beckoning us over. We felt obliged to, the first friendly welcoming and smiling face we've seen since our arrival.
We both looked at each other. "Yes please!" We answered together, eagerly, and went over to him.
"I've got Bilberry juice, cowberry juice, milk, water, Honey Froth and Mixed Herbs, what'll be your choice?" He asked in his thick accent. "And if ya need too refresh ya memory, look at de sign.
Whilst I looked at the sign, Hetro ordered.
"Cowberry juice please."
His face light up at his request.
"Certainly! That's ma first order of that in ages!" He said as he turned to make it.
I felt his unease when the man had said that. Why would no one order it? Probably because it was expensive or not to their taste.
I stopped looking at the sign when the man ha finished making Hetro's drink.
" And can I have a Honey Froth please?" Hetro asked.
"Of course young lady, good choice!" He responded as he set Hetro's down in a wood carved cup and started to make my drink.
His had a strong red colour to it, with no other colours.
Then the man turned with another wood carved cup, but this one had a yellowy-white foam on the top of supposedly a liquid of honey.
"There ya go, enjoy!" He said. "Feel free to sit on da chairs." He said, pointing at four wooden stools with leaves on top.
We sat on them, and they were more comfy than I expected.
I eyed my drink, then glanced at Hetro's. I'd never seen any drinks like these, because we have blue-coloured juice and just plain water. I wanted Hetro to drink his first, and he got that.
He held the cup up to his mouth and smelt it before drinking a bit. He spluttered and choked it out, whilst holding his throat and dropping the cup. In shock I looked over at the man, who was laughing with a grin.

Lool, this is what I've come up with. May not always stop at such a pathetically dramatic point, but who knows. :D I sure don't!
I thought I should add a title to every new one, so it's not just 'part 1,2, e.t.c'.
Well, hope you've enjoyed it! Feel free to read the last ones if you haven't already, and the next one will be out next weekend. :) Have a great day/week!
