The Fate of the Tribe

The rustling of leaves, the crackling of dry branches underfoot, and the tart scent of wild grasses—all of this has been your home for as long as you can remember. The uneven walls of the ancient cave that served as your refuge kept the echo of your commands and the quiet whisper of prayers to the Moon. The ashes of the fires remembered the heat of battles, but also the warmth of friendly evenings. You felt the earth vibrate beneath your bare feet, responding to the strength of your tribe. Hunters returned with prey, elders sought wisdom in omens, and midwives accepted new life. Each of them waited for your word, your decision, as if the stars waited for the light of the moon.

But now there was something different in the air. Anxiety. A few days ago, a lookout had returned with news of strange lights on the horizon—not fires, not stars, but something alien and ominous. The animals were beginning to leave the forest, and the whispers of the spirits were growing fainter.

Now you stand on top of a cliff, looking out into the crimson sunset. Those same lights flicker in the distance, like the eyes of an unknown monster. The fate of your tribe hangs in the balance, and you must make a decision that will change everything.

"What awaits us ahead?" a hoarse voice sounded behind you.
