~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as Ralph left Castle Rock, Jack gathered up the rest of the savages to start their feast. They gathered around the bright yellow and orange fire. Roger sat near the fire and used a large leaf to fan the fire to keep it golden and grand. Little warm sparks fell around and about the rocks that contained the fire, almost as if the fire was ready to burst in a mighty blaze. As Roger ordered the other biguns to fetch the pig that they hunted earlier, Jack sat proud on his throne that overlooked the fire and his tribe of savages.

Jack began to speak with an arrogant tone and a hint of pride in his voice.

"We cannot thrive with Ralph snooping around. He is a nuisance to our tribe and therefore must be killed."

The blue-eyed ginger looked to Roger, then to his hunters, and began speaking again.

"My hunters and I are the best at what we do, so I'm sure that we can get the job done without a problem."

There was silence among the tribe.

"Well? Are you all just going to stand there like a group of kids?"

Jack sat back into his throne and thought about Ralph's upcoming death. Should he send a single savage after him? Should he go himself? He rose out of his beautifully decorated chair.

"Ralph will die by midday tomorrow. He will pay for his-"

Percival interrupted him.

"Ralph doesn't have to pay for anything."

"And who are you to have an opinion?"

"I'm... I'm..."

"Poor thing doesn't even know his own name!"

Jack chuckles and shoves Percival aside and continues.

"Now. We need to come up with a strategy. Roger, you'll take the littluns and Samneric-"

Percival interjected again.

"Why does Ralph need to die? He was a good chief and he doesn't deserve-"

"Quiet you! You go on over there and play like the little child you are and I don't want to hear another word out of you."

Taken aback by Percival's sudden change in attitude, Jack shakes it off and walks toward Roger.

Percival storms off with tears in his eyes in the other direction while a few other littluns follow.

The tiny group of littluns follow Percival to cave-like area near Castle Rock, away from the savage leader Jack. During this, the light began to fall from the sky and a dark blue-ish black color started to take its place, bringing along millions of tiny bright dots. The littluns stood forming a circle with Percival next to the wall inside the cave. Percival was pouting with his arms crossed and head down. As the littluns looked around the eerie cavern, muttering was heard from where Percival was standing.

"I don't like Jack. I don't want to play with him and Roger no more"

"Me too!"

"-he's a big meanie."

"I wish Ralph was here."

Percival lifted up his small head and looked to the littluns. His blond hair bounced with anticipation and his red eyes sparkled with ideas as he began his little speech.

"What if we had our own tribe! But we can have rules like Ralph did!"

"Like a kingdom!"
