"Vita Detestabilis"
Tig'lath walked the camp greeting and talking with his troops to insure their moral was up and ready for the next campaign when a human approached "My Lord Pahu'Takh" the human said quickly bowing on one knee ,one fist down, one behind his back. "Rise warrior,what is it you have to say" Tig'lath said trying to hold back his detest for the human, after all ,he needed their crossbowmen to fight for him. The Human arose and said shakily "Is it true that we are going to attack the Suarians?" Tig'lath, annoyed at how the gossip traveled so fast through the camps,answered him. "We are not planning to attack the Reptiles yet. I have other schemes" Tig'lath said, not wanting to risk the humans fleeing camp in the night "but" He continued "If it should happen that we do confront them ,will you make me proud of my Human allies and fight Like a Yakat? Will you be brave and fight next to me and if need be, Die next to me?" Tig'lath said hoping to inspire some courage in the man "Aye my lord we will" The Human said smiling confidently , sure of himself now knowing his Lord Tig'lath's abilities in strategy. The Human continued "You have always won the day and you have been good to us, sharing the spoils of war as you promised. I will convince the men to stand fast and take on any challenges you give us" "You and your men are a credit to your race" Tig'lath said putting on his best political front.
As Tig'lath started to walk away Kydn'zar approached and spoke "My Lord, The Sydau'ka have returned" "What news do you have for me" Tig'lath said anxious to hear. "While some resisted" Kydn'zar informed him "Most Xian complied. They were told of your generosity and enticed by the wealth you promised, have vowed their loyalty " "Excellent!!" Tig'lath exclaimed "What are the numbers we acquired" Tig'lath said in hopes that it would be large "2,700" Kydn'zar answered, wishing it were more "This is good news my friend. We will strike camp in the morning and head to the Suarian tunnels. We must find the Inventor" "What of the Suarians there my lord?" Kydn'zar asked "What of them" Tig'lath said sarcastically "They will join us or we will kill every last one of them as usual" Tig'lath and Kydn'zar shared in a deep throated laugh.
