Tusken Raider Camp

[Lock]

Food is given Four times a day, water the base of the diet
Looking to the left I see a skeleton of a sentient, an to my Right one of a Jawa no doubt with that robe

The Robed Creatures again enter my prison, Four his time, Two train Rifles as the others unchain me and take me out of my Cell

Down the Sand way i look up seeing the Two suns burning through the Leather Cover for a roof, I look back as another Two creatures wait at what looks like a slide door, they slide the door up revealing a large group of the Robed sentients, each with there own weapons it seems, but not the same as the one that almost struck me down earlier

I'm is surrounded and i'm forced to Kneel

Theres a Roll door infront of me and it rolls up to reveal a larger yet, different Robed Creature, Redish robes instead of the sand color of the rest

The Creature Howls something to me, One of the Robed Creatures that entered my Prison standing beside me taps my shoulder and uses his arms in fists and widens his stance to a sort of great warrior, then points towards the reddish one

I Nod in understanding an look back at the Leader

The Leader Makes Circle with his arms then points up

"Geonosis"
I point up
"Geonosis"

The Leader is given the Decee i had with me
He howls something and Fires a shot in the air
then points it at me

I'm like stone, he aims and fires beside my head and i dont even flinch, I meet my eyes with his Goggles
"Fear is weakness, Fear of Pain is lost life, and Fear of Death is not living at all"

The Leader stares and lowers the Rifle, then walks up to me and stares down at me

I Keep eye contact

He reachs into his Robes then brings out a Datapad then hands it to me

I look into it, its in Huttese, but recognizable, we're taught from birth to understand a vairety of the most popular languages
I type in 'I'm From the Planet Geonosis, I am a Geonosian'
then i hand it back to him

The leader takes it an reads, it seems he knows huttese, he howls to the Sand Robed person that first spoke to me

The Leader Types something in it and hands it back

'You are a strange Creature to my land with strange weapons, your ship crash on my land, I learn This language from other prisoners, why are you on my land creature?'

I erase it and type in
'I've escaped my own destruction but my ship was Crippled by Blaster Cannon on my ship, I then go to town, i came back to take what i need from my ship"
I hand it back to him

He reads it then types another message and hands it back to me, it reads
'We take your power of flight for your ignorence, you lucky we dont take your life, you will remain in your cell until i think of what to do with you'

I nod and give it back to him

the Guards escort me back to my cell, chain me back up and i wait

[Lock]

The Sand robe Guards come back into my Cell and Unchain me, then escort me to the Chief

I walk in and take a knee freely

The Mat door Rolls upwards and the Chief stands clear and walks towards me, He hands me the Datapad

I look apon it and read
'You have been a most reasonable Prisoner, and I commend such actions in my clan. But your sheer luck with wit will not win you the day; I have a Guest for you to earn your freedom. You shall prove yourself in Bloodrite. You will earn your rite to live, should you survive this and complete the tasks I lay before you.'

I type in
'What shall be my tasks?'
And hand it to him

He types in a while then gives it back to me
It reads
'In my tribe, adolescent are tasked with a ritual known as bloodrite, in which youth prove their hunting skills by capturing a creature and fatally torturing it with techniques extending the pain for weeks before death. Most go for creatures like bantha or desert wraid, but the greatest prestige was reserved for a hunter who performed the rite upon a sentient being. Your final test is to hunt and slay a krayt dragon, and retrieve a stone from its stomach. You will Capture a Sentient Being and you will slay a Dragon...These are my tasks for you'

I type in
'What Gear will I have to use?'
And give it back

The Chief types in
'You will have one of our Rifles, your Offworld rifle is to powerful and will not bring good sport, and you will have one of our Captured Blades to use, You will succeed or you will fail. You will meet with Guide to a Sentient Village, you are not as keen on the dunes as we have for our young have lived all there lives here. Then your task if you succeed will be the first. Then we will lead you to the hunting lands of the Dragon'
He hands it to me

I Type in
'As you will it, Will this be now?'
I hand it to him

He looks up and nods, Then points to the tusken i've seen so regularly. He motions to follow and I do so, following to a part of the Camp where the Bantha reside in there stalks before hunting.

He Gives me a Long range Slug rifle, a belt of clips and an old Rusty Vibroblade, thats vibrations seem a bit off keen. He then gets on his mount, three others as well.

They motion me to walk in the middle and I do, into the fudal sands beyond

[Lock]

I drag him into a prisoner lockup, the sand people watch me as I tie his hands and legs to leather straps, then lift him off the floor keeping him horizontal and tight

Hours later he wakes up and starts screaming out for help,
I lay in wait in the Corner, I come out the shadows and stand beside him with the rusty vibro in hand

He starts to yell
"Whoo...what are you?!"

I bring my finger to my mouth and shush

I bring out a piece of Flimsi salvage an write on it using a charcol
in galactic basic
'Say your prayers to your God human...'

The Human struggles and i tighten the leather straps to strain his arms, he starts to yelp out as i tighten them to much

I start talking to him
"You dont like this do you" I start to laugh

I take my blade an slowly start to cut at the straining skin at the leather straps

I Continue this Torture for days, even weeks, telling him help is on the way for false hope then crushing it with no result...he is left to die of thirst as i take the blind off of the canopy above his cell.

[Lock]

I am Taken back to my Cell once the life of the human fades away, In a few hours the Chief enters my Cell, Datapad in hand, Gives it to me

It reads
'You have done well Geonosian, I've not seen skin burned like that since the Raid on Tusken'

I Return the Datapad

The Chief reads
'Now that i've taken the humans life, where must i find a Dragon?'

The Chief nods and writes and returns
'This is your last test, You will have no escorts with you. In your favor it is the Great Dragons mating season, there calls will shake your foundations for they gather in groups to mate. Your luck will reside on finding a singular beast, let alone greater luck for your untrained skill to kill the mighty Dragon.'

The Chief uncuffs me from the wall and hands me the projectile weapon and Vibro then adds to the datapad saying
'You will find its pearl In the great dragons stomachs, Cut deep and fast for the winds will parrel you with hungry beasts smelling fresh kill'

I take the Rifle and sling it on my back, I then hold the blade in my left and bow to the Chief in readyness

He motions to the exit of the Camp

I walk to the exit and the last tusken to see me points towards a Mountain Clad landscape far off in the dunes, I Continue in that direction without fear

[Lock]

Many days later Sulik Reachs the Camp, Exhausted and cramping by the wieght of the great Krayt Dragon Pearl.

The Sand people at the gate let him through, he Collapses as he enters the camp, then stands again after a moment of composier

He walks, Escorted of Course, To the Chiefs Den

Dropping the Pearl at the Chiefs Feet, Sulik kneels and waits for a reaction

Apon picking up the pearl and inspecting it the Chief hands it to one of the many sand people aids beside him, another gives him a strange stick, one that has been used as a weapon against him before he was captured

The Chief makes wild rants and Roars and kneels, grabbing my Shoulder and bringing me to my feet, he hands me the weapon and raises my arm.

The Crowd of Sand people that have gathered roar and raise arms and similar weapons in a sort of Chant

The Chief then grabs my shoulder and urges me towards his Chambers beyond

I follow and sit at a table he orders me to, he sits accross and brings his own weapon the the Table along with the Datapad, he hands it to me and i read it

'You have Done well, and have supprised me that you've even gotten to see one these...How did you aquire this?"
I tell him the story back and forth through Datapad and in the end he returns the datapad and it says
'Three Krayt Dragons...you've earned the respect of our clan outlander...but do not return for we will destroy you. we will escort you as far as we can go and point you in the right direction towards the nearest Settlement. you are free'

In time we end our Conversation and I am escorted to the bunker door and I take my journey escorted by the Sand people to my freedom
