I am Ashoak Ley. At one time I was Ubar to the Tucuk tribe. I have been commander of 10,100 and 1000 and also commander of the Ubar's guard. I have earned the scars that adorn my face. I was not born to the Tuchuk tribe though. I was born in a city, which one it was I no longer recall. I have been mated before and now looking back - my duty, to put tribe first at all times, also cost me my mates and the children they bore me.
It took all that for me to know I had been faithful to the tribe, would have given my life for it but would not give this same kind of attention to my mates or children. With this revelation, I had left. I had to have distance, as painful as it was, for me to regain my sense of priorities. Tribe above all was the mantra I lived by but was not my mates and children also part of that tribe?
I was gone for many,many moons but have now returned. Not as Ubar or commander. No, just a a Tuchuk warrior. A proud Tuchuk warrior with a new sense of order. Tribe above all still rings true but now also goes deeper than that.
