Ride the Slumberer

Description

........It was the time just after the world's shift, when things prehistoric were no more, the land had turned into a lush green wonderland of animals and man, not everywhere was like this, but most of the world was habitable at about this time of which we talk....there was a tribe of people known as the Hagua, they were a fierce tribe but also known for there wisdom and kindness, but once aroused, there wasn't many that could stand against them, they were some that said they were "different", but then again you know what mankind is like, mix wisdom & kindness into the mix and you have to be mad, you either have to be fierce or timid, wolf or sheep, you can't be both.....this tribe had a custom, you couldn't be married or go into the women if you hadn't rode the Slumberer....the Slumberer was a giant snake like serpent, maybe the last of its kind from the prehistoric era, that lived deep under the sacred mountains of Lithia.....the Hagua had a special way of calling these beasts from there deep underground habitats, it was never written or passed down how or what they did to do this, as it was a Shaman's knowledge only.....the men had to wait sometimes weeks at the "Hole that Spewed forth life" by the Sacred Mountain of Lithia, for the Shaman to go inside and call forth these Monsters of the deep.....It took three men to ride the Slumberer, as they call it, two either side to cover the eyes of the beast with special plates, and the Hagua spear to hold onto with, dug deep into the side of the animals head, and one man to ride the beast standing atop of the head holding the reigns, the reigns were made from thick leather straps and chain.....once the beasts eyes were covered, it would usually follow the pull of the reigns to go where directed, the men had to turn the beast and direct it back into the hole from which it had come, this was no easy task as you can imagine, the men on the animal were in constant danger of being scraped off or falling to there deaths on the mountainous slopes either side of them as the animal when first captured would go into a frenzy, twisting and turning in on itself in its fury.....as they neared the hole, the rider and eyemen would leap to safety releasing the beast back to whence it came, only then if they survived could they go into the woman and choose for themselves a bride...this is why the warriors trained so vigorously, why they were such a fierce tribe, cos they had pride, pride of being the Slumber Riders, they were men who had strived to achieve, and what better way to grow and learn, than to be always trying to be better, this was the Hagua way.......
