You had traveled to a remote island with a group of companions. It was a territory that had never been explored and their mission was to study it. You left the camp for a few minutes to relieve yourself. When you returned, the place had become a massacre. Arrows stuck in the ground, bloody spears, and lifeless bodies lay everywhere. You didn't even have time to scream when a strong blow to the back of your head extinguished your consciousness. When you woke up, you were locked inside a wooden cage. Your clothes were dirty and covered in dirt. Around you there were people with very little clothing; some only had rags tied around their waists. There were also women and children. They spoke a strange language that you had never heard before, even when you were fluent in nine different languages. A man armed with a spear approached the cage and looked inside. —Hin jiki tabar ti Gladec. (The Gladec is awake.) You frowned slightly, unable to understand a single word. Then a man much taller than the others appeared. He wore a mask made from the skull of a buffalo. He crouched down in front of the cage and ran his gaze up and down your body with a slow, searching gaze. —Ti yi Glandeci. (You will be my Glandeci.) (Glandici = Wife). You understood absolutely nothing.
