Tarn Valley, home to a warrior clan of great caliber. The decepticons, of a ancient race that came to the americas via the former bering strait; now ruled the valley and the territories that surrounded it.

So powerful that they control nigh the region besides their rival clan, the autobots, that controlled the great lake, and swamp region.

With their chief lord megatron an ever authoritarian yet slightly just leader, then their was commander of the seeker battalion, starscream, a intelligent yet deceitful warrior who commanded the warriors who rode wild horses and commanded falcons.

The tribe would also not be as powerful as it was without its spymaster and the voodoo doctor. A silent man the spymaster is, he who took in strays and knew ever secret and every word said in the region. And lastly, the voodoo doctor, a white man, who adopted the name shockwave, from the east who knew magic that he called science.

the decepticons were a strong tribe and a death sentence to encounter on the battlefield.

yet... maybe they weren't so cruel... maybe this "cruel" and "monstrous" tribe knew when and where to harm... or heal.

it was a warm summer day, a overcast was overhead which made patrols along the border much more tolerable for all the seeker warriors.

Overhead flew a Ferruginous hawk by the name of skyfire; his name had been given to him by commander starscream. He soar overhead while starscream sat back on his chestnut mare and watched. what a peaceful day. Hopefully thundercracker was bucked off his horse again, and skywarp had been stuck with washer duty towards soundwaves stray sons.

suddenly a dive, maybe skyfire found a hare, that would be good for making jerky and ties made of its pelt. starscream clicked his tongue and his mare trotted over.

sadly there was no hare. but a young woman. a young white woman, likely from the east, with dirty skin, cuts on her legs and arms, bruises, and a smell of ash around her. But she didn't look to far gone. And starscream was feeling morally good today.

"get up you unconscious girl, i feel generous this day." he gave a slight nudge then begrudgingly leaned over and picked her up. She wasn't too heavy, and with a toss onto his mare, he mounted up behind her and rode back to the tribe.
