As the Founders Day festivities winds down, the small crowd moves to a small improvised shelter where Ulundi's Governor and Zululand Ruler will be appointed.
The whispering is surprisingly loud among the small gathering, but ceases when a man enters behind them. Formally known as Shaka to most is now calling himself Eclipse. Its Shaka one man blurts out! Continuing forward to where everyone had been focusing when he entered, raising his hands in the air as if to say "I need your attention"
As you all well know we have arrived here and found this place suitable to sustain life, but we lack Leadership if we are to thrive! And I stand before you all and tell you it is I who can do this! Is there anyone else who feels they are better than me in this Quest? The crowd falls so silent that you can hear the pigs grazing far off in the distance. Than it is Done! I Eclipse will lead us so long as I Live!
Eclipse
Are there any Warriors here today? Know one spoke a word.
Ok, A Scout? A timid man half heartedly raises his hand.
Great! What is your name son?
Grunt,
Man with thick feet. he said.
Ok
Grunt, you will be the first to see where Zululand will make their homes. Go now, take this small hatched and report back to me as soon as you can!
Grunt
Aaaa,huh? ok? Grunt, grunt, grunt, wondering why he is being called Grunt.
Whilst everyone follows, Grunt heads East toward a forest, upon entering Grunt takes to his knee and covers his head as the Birds take flight from the trees. Looking back at the people clearly embarrassed pushes forward.
As all eyes turn back to Eclipse with questionable gazes set. Eclipse smiles and says, "Did any of you raise your hand for what was clearly unknown, He did, and he will do a great service for our people" Now, Go now and work your areas during the day and plant your seeds during the night.
As the crowd breaks he realizes he must do this again twice more today.
