I thank you, King, for your promise of safety.

I have come here to ask that you should send envoys to confer with the Kalubi and the Motombo, that a lasting peace may be arranged between our peoples." "Why do not the Kalubi and the Motombo come here to confer ?" asked Bausi.
"Because it is not lawful that they should leave their land, O King.
Therefore they have sent me who am the Kalubi-to-come.

Hearken.

There has been war between us for generations.

It began so long ago that only the Motombo knows of its beginning which he has from the gods.
