Leefrok Rag came to Gakib Dat with nothing but a single fur to cover himself with and the last surviving member of his old tribe, Laga Ada Eh. At first, he was not impressed with her. She was unathletic, useless at hunting, mediocre at gathering, and walked much slower than him. Still, they were tribe mates, and as annoying as she may have been, they needed each other. He protected her and provided for her. She prepared the meat and furs and tended to his wounds. It wasn’t so bad to have a friend.
They migrated from far to the east until they arrived at the plateau that marks the edge of the region known as Gakib Dat. They had been following a herd of llamas. When they arrived in the valley, they were so malnourished they almost met Dag Mor. As they stumbled wearily through the tall grass, a friendly local by the name of Kibop Kib greeted them. He offered them some of his traveling rations, and soon the three became a tribe.
Leefrok Rag and Kibop Kib became fast friends. The slightly older Kibop Kib taught Leefrok Rag the tricks to hunting, and soon Leefrok Rag was excelling as he never had before. The seasons passed, and his two tribe mates fell in love. Soon, Leefrok Rag felt like a third wheel in his own cave. He broke down and talked to Laga Ada Eh about feeling left out. She reassured him that Kibop Kib was not serious, just fun. She confessed that she had feelings for him. Leefrok Rag suddenly saw her in a new light.
Laga Ada Eh had been steadfast. She stood by him when they were at their worst: homeless, lost, starving, and tribeless.
Their romance blossomed like fresh greens after the first rains of spring.
Just as Kibop Kib welcomed him, Leefrok Rag made it a custom to welcome travelers into his cave. He would listen to the stories the travelers brought from distant lands, share food and knowledge, and above all, make friends and expand the tribe. Under the benevolent leadership of Leefrok Rag, the Gasimish tribe grew from two to twelve.
Soon came their beloved daughter, Poben Dat and Leefrok Rag didn’t think life could get any better.
But just when life settles down, the gods often have other plans.
When Laga Ada Eh fell pregnant once more, no one thought anything was out of the ordinary at first. But then fire, death, and famine struck. It was too much for one woman to cope with, and just as their second child was born, Laga Ada Eh expired. If only the Gasimish tribe had had a tignam to communicate with Mor Dag, and she might have been saved. But alas, the only tignam in Gakib Dat was Tignam Tig of the Geekib tribe.
Leefrok Rag would never be the same.
Initially known for his kind, patient nature, the gentle giant withdrew and became something else. No longer was he open-hearted and jolly. Instead he became characterized for his stoic, standoffish attitude. To protect himself from further pain, he built an emotional wall. He did what he had to do and met the bare minimum of his responsibilities, but he was not capable of overachieving anymore.
He connected romantically with many women, and simultaneously distanced himself from his daughters. Though he provided for them physically, he was no longer capable of nurturing their souls. The fear of losing them was too great, that subconsciously, he decided it was better to sever any attachment. But the children are still young, and there is still time. Will his daughters' innocence melt Leefrok Rag's cold heart?
