He rarely saw the Night people, yet he fought them by patching up what they would  have otherwise destroyed. By preventing their atrocities from ending the usefulness of man or woman or child, he fought them. He was respected by all, except Isa, the beauty of his eye. They were betrothed, and he was to take her to wife in a moon.<br/><br/>Fegu, a Spear of the Dawn, worked with the people, and even had begun to teach his language to a few, Tamba included. The night he was carried into Tamba’s rooms, he had broken the hold an Eternal held on the eastern border, it had been feeding the Night People’s strength. He had sustained a terrible wound, and as Tamba urged him to accept his healing, the man sang his epithet, his legend was of a much younger man, his tale was almost over, yet he had one task left. He would teach Tamba his language. He would finish their work. Tamba would remember him, the man who died here, not the exaggerated tales.<br/><br/>Isa saw Tamba tend his wounded and learn from the bed-ridden invalid for weeks, as Night People attacks drew men from the village and their exploits were sung at the bonfires. Heroes were made, and heroes died, and Tamba saved lives or lost them on his beds, and Tamba honored a dying man’s wish. Isa ran off with the Spear of the Dawn when the hero left to seek a problem to the Kirsi. Her parting words were that “I deserve a hero, not a man who tended the dying.”<br/><br/>Tamba buried Fegu and sang his tale in his home tongue before raising Fegu’s Runku to his own shoulder, it was heavier than he expected, to his shoulder. “I am a Spear of the Dawn, I walk the path of Fegu, I will be a man worthy of my woman.”<br/>
