Maedhros stepped off the raised walkway and onto the dark covered ground, staring at it curiously as he meandered into the middle of the lane.
BEEPBEEP The screeching halt of tires on the road met Maedhros’ ears. He pivoted to face it, drawing his sword to meet the thing as it bore down on him! Sword raised, he prepared to strike, but at the last moment the shiny shelled thing veered left and narrowly avoided striking one of its comrades coming from the opposite direction. That too stopped in its tracks, forcing Maedhros to change his position so that both were in sight.
The thing opened, and a very human figure emerged.
“Hey! What the hell is WRONG with you? Are you trying to die? Get out of the road you idiot, or next time I won’t stop!”
Maedhros shifted his stance, confusion washing over him. He half lowered his sword, “Where is your commander, child? What is this thing you control?” he gestured to the car with his sword. The man looked like he’d been stabbed. He bristled, and looked as if he were about to burst.
“Who are you--”
Maedhros dismissed him with a hand gesture. “Take me to your commanding officer.”
There was a pause, around them a crowd was building to watch the on-goings. There was a general sense of curiosity and confusion, mixed with subtle humor. The man, sensing he would get nowhere with the redheaded he-she, spit a curse at Maedhros and got back into his car, zooming away with the hiss of screeching tires.
The other beetle-like thing moved off too, slowly and with a group of gawking adolescents staring out from its depths. Maedhros himself frowned, and endeavored to follow the shiny shelled thing on foot.
“You there,” he addressed the crowd, “point me in the direction of your barracks or governing house. Is it in the direction of the shiny carriage?"
