40k eldar - I N'umdon: Fikri 1/?
Lähetetty: Ti 29.03.2005 19:46
Puolustuspuhe: Tässä siis ensimmäinen tarinani. Innostuin kun keksin nöyhtää eldareilleni, tässäkin on paljon sellaisia juttuja, jotka eivät valkene vielä vaan vaativat historiatarinani. Historia valmistui aikaisemmin, mutta tuntui paremmalta luoda siihen jotain syvyyttä ja perspektiiviä ensin. Tarinalle seuraa jatkoa, mutta nyt on suuri into julkaista tämä. Juttu on ikävä kyllä melko lyhyt. Toivottavasti annatte palautetta, korjausehdotuksia, fluffivirheilmoituksia ja muita ehdotuksia.
Kieleksi valitsin englannin, sillä se kuulostaa todella paljon paremmalta, varsinkin historiateksteissä. Itselläni on paljon harjoittelemista englannin kirjoituksessa, [minkä varmaan huomaatte ilmoittamattakin], joten päätin harjoitella tällä tavoin. Selvää pitäisi saada hyvin, sillä sen verran yksinkertaistettuna yritin sepustaa. Kielitieteilijät ja professorit, elekää repikö pelihousujanne, mutta ilmoittakaapa, jos tuon seasta löytyy jotain aivan käsittämätöntä.
Annan pari välttämätöntä sanaa ja ennakkotähti:
arbitrator - sovittelija
herbseer - yrteillänäkijä, shamaanintapainen. Lisää historiajutuissa myöhemmin.
calmseer - rauhannäkijä, tyyneydennäkijä. Lisää historiajutuissa

Koettakaapa nauttia:
FIKRI 1/?
A light shape of a female eldar walked slowly and sat on a brink of a cliff. The shape belonged to Fikri, a beginning arbitator of a clan called N'umdon. Tomorrow they would start their journey to a new planet for peace negotiations. Arbitrators were an integral part on searching new allies and friendships. Only a handful of them were mounted on a falcon and shipped to the new planet before the main group. This would be the first time to Fikri so she was slightly nervous.
Young calmseer Iyad appeared suddenly and sat next to her. Iyad was the leader of the tomorrow operation and knew the nervosity upon her. There was light tension between them due to the high position of Iyad.
-There is no reason to worry, Fikri. I have seen you with your long rifle, I have seen the strenght of your mind and, most importantly, I see your charm as I speak.
Fikri smiled embarrassed.
- Um.. Thank you for your words, high calmseer.
- I feel awkward if you have to speak like that. You are not much younger than me. Without this strange blood in my veins, I would be like you. With my siblings we will bring calmseers closer to the peasantry. There is no advantage of being positioned too high.
- I guess so.. What do you think is going to happen when we get there?
- Warm and peaceful visions have filled herbseer's thoughts. You will start your arbitrator path smoothly.
- That is relieving to hear... ...But even more comforting is to see the wise seed of Nalyde with us,
Fikri grinned. Now it was Iyad's turn to blush.
- ...
- You need no words, Iyad
Fikri gave a light kiss on his cheek, stood up and walked away.
Iyad sat there for the whole night thinking about forthcoming operation.
His thoughts wandered.
Fikri woke up early. Grass was damp and her bare foots enjoyed its soft touch. She tried to delay her leaving. Finally, Fikri packed her pack and put on her chameleon cloak. Door closed behind her and more than ever she waited to open it again. She walked all the way to the organizing place. When she passed a big group of rangers, they nodded showing their respect. Fikri got confused and stepped on a frog.
Groups of banshees were doing yoga, in the air there flew falcons and vypers, a warlock driving her jetbike zoomed back and forth. Preparation was going on eventhough the battle was uncertain, unhoped and days away. Fikri hoped the preparations would turn out to be unnecessary. She meet and joined the arbitrator squad she was to be in. She noticed Iyad who was talking with his siblings. They were calmseers, Iyad, Dawud and Nawal. Mar-awal'e-ulush-t'iar-tirterestu* was also with them. He was the herbseer of the clan. A moment after, Iyad rose his hand and everyone fell quiet.
- Our 93rd journey is about to begin. Herbseer sees peace. Our scouts believe that the planet belongs to Tau, so there is nothing to worry about. We have good relations with Tau, but we must prepare for the worst...
As Iyad spoke, a huge vessel appeared in horizon and glided trough the air closer and closer. It landed smoothly just a few metres away from Iyad. It was called N'umdonestu, Numdon II. Its one small hatch opened.
...We shall do what Nalyde would wanted, spread peace as much as we can. Remember Nalydes pains.
Crowd answered:
-Remember Nalydes pains!
Iyad nodded to arbitrators and five eldar walked inside the vessel their chameleon cloaks open. Another hatch opened and other groups followed, Banshees, Scorpions, Warp Spiders and their powerful exarch, guardians with their platforms. Slowly the biggest hatch opened and falcons, vypers and jetbikes glided in. Finally, three clumsy wraithlords stepped inside.
As always, the time onboard was spent meditating and doing yoga. It was important to be in perfect mental condition before fighting. When three days of travelling were over and N'umdonestu slowed down, everybody got one warflower each. Those were for the case that the reception would be hostile. When eldar eats the flower, she is filled with energy and motivation. The effect starts right away and lasts for a couple of hours.
N'umdonestu's engines were turned off. It flew in safe distance away from the planet. Iyad asked arbitrators to follow him to his room.
- I hope we don't have to eat any warflowers today. I trust on your negotiation skills. If anything happens, call us and our fastest troops will help you out of there. If you think we should fight, all of our troops will be sent in. Four of you know what to do. Fikri shall learn what the path of the arbitrator is. You shall take a good care of her.
- Thank you, hig... Iyad, Fikri smiled.
-You shall go now. May the herbseers hallucinations come true.
Arbitrators left the room. A falcon was waiting for them and they stepped in. Others sang and danced when the inner gate closed behind the falcon. It glided swiftly through space towards the planet. N'umdonestu followed, coming in good position. A couple of moments later, falcon finally touched the ground.
Arbitrators disembarked and looked around. They had hidden their weapons so they looked harmless. Ground was desert, there was a couple of thick, green bushes and big rocks here and there. They headed towards a forest they saw in north from them. Suddenly they heard voices coming from east. They stopped and saw an outpost. One of the arbitrators rose the flag of N'umdon. Other arbitrators rose their hands. Atmosphere was tight and Fikri was terrified. She was filled with unpleasant thoughts.
Without a warning, fire was opened at them.
