The Pike Brothers

Andrej Pike was stepping through one of the blue gates for the first time. After a few seconds he found himself in an unknown forest, which was obviously owned by an indian race. He saw two strange looking individuals with indian names, and asked them who they were. Their names were hard to pronounce: Cin Jyn Coh Ku and Stu Riki Coh Ku. As Andrej asked them where their tribe was living, he received the strange answer:
"Stu Riki live beyond new opening. Ku tribe, many warriors live many moons walk. Land have no name. Past Great mountains."
Obviously they never had seen a banana before.
The corsair Hawkeye Pike stepped out of the darkness of the Covetous dungeon. He didn't like magery, so he wasn't able to cast the Night Sight spell. As his eyes were getting used to the light again, he noticed a bunch of evil looking warriors appearing from out of their hiding places.
"Silly landlubb'rs" he thought, ran and hid beneath a tree. It took these folks quite some time to track him down. As suddenly Hawkeye was standing in a field of fire and his feet were getting hot, he decided to run and reach the far city of Vesper. These landlubbers didn't catch him, because he was a tough and fast runner. One of them followed him almost to the city, but only one of his bolts hit Hawkeye slightly.
