Paradise Violated
Kruz is a broken Mazatt. He accepts his fate as you shoot him in the head. You emerge from the hut proving that you have been the one chosen for destiny. You take control of the village and begin ordering the Lizards to perform searches for the Xont structure immediately.
They follow, but they aren't enthusiastic like they should be. Higgins reports that they miss Kruz and felt he was a better leader. This news makes you furious! You proved yourself to be better than that pretender! This irritation only grows as time passes. Days pass and the Xont structure still hasn't been found, and worse, other surrounding Lizard tribes have been attacking despite attempts to make alliances. Old fashioned conquest works, but the Lizards constantly resist and just don't have the man power to keep your holdings even through fear. Eventually the Lizard tribes do start uniting against YOU.
A coalition of tribes marches on your position, and while your Lizards are definitely more organized, better trained and better equipped, you're severely out numbered. You remain confident. You remember reading about an ancient battle on Earth called Rorke's Drift, and using this as inspiration you try to motivate your people with a speech about how you'll be able to stand against so many because destiny has chosen you.
The attack comes, it's a massacre, your followers are overwhelmed, and it's beginning to look like another ancient Earth battle Little Big Horn. You begin ranting like a madman, screaming at them all for failing you. During the battle you see Alyssa fall, you rush over to her, but she's dying. You feel her heavenly caress across your face before she finally drifts into eternal sleep. You wipe a tear from your eye.
"Don't worry I'll be with you soon." You say to her, and set her down.
You fly into a rage; you're the last one left. You begin killing Lizards, ignoring the fatal blows they land upon you. You laugh saying how they can't kill you. And then finally the adrenaline wears off and you finally succumb to your wounds. You look at the coins that lead you to this end. A fleeting thought crosses your mind in your last moments of life, you never actually found these coins, you stole them from the Elojin who found them.
"Destiny didn't choose me."
