The Fate of Akna
Another voice then rang out. "Welcome to tonight's show!" Then, "I think it's ready. Prepare the device and clear the building of all non-essential personnel."
"Carry out the mission and return. Prepare for the event of opportune negative."
The voices stopped. Frightened, and having (evidently) already died a short while ago - a fate she didn't want to repeat - Akna took a deep breath. She opened the doors and stepped through to the other side.
Four Years Later - High-Son's Errand
High-Son of the Bayou Clan pulled his canoe out of the Pecan Bayou and into a stand of cane. He gathered his knife and his staff. He set out toward a campsite that, he knew, was about a mile away.
The man made the trip quickly. He soon encountered the camp's guards. As they raised their weapons, he spoke to them in their language. "I bring news. I will speak to your leader, and to no one else."
The guards looked at one another. One shrugged. "Go find the Lieutenant," he said to the other man. "I will keep him here."
