We can go back for tonight. What why? She asked. You're wounded and unprepared, you have no chance of winning in your current state.
I can still win. No you can't, stubbornness won't give you some magical strength, unless you have a bloodline that depends on that I don't know.
She pouted. Oh,now I feel sorry for you. Really? No,let go. They went back with her in a bad mood. What happened to her, Anitta asked as she tended to her wounds.
Ask her, he replied. The others gathered around her as she told them her heroic story of how an entire pack of jackals came at her but she killed all of them except the leader.
Ashborn laughed out loud, he couldn't hold himself listening to her lies. And I thought I was a good liar. So you were lying? Mark asked.
No, I'm telling the truth, you believe miss Anitta right? Ofcourse I do sweetie, Anitta said with a playful smile as she bandaged her wounds.
So how was it really? Lucas asked. Theas face changed but Ashborn didn't say anything, he was waiting for her to speak. Bad, she said.
That thing was much stronger than I expected, she said with sour mood. Alright, I'm going to sleep, he said as he went to the master bedroom.
He heard them continue talking for a while then they went to sleep in their respective rooms. The next day he was standing infront of Thea.
So what do you want to do today? She appeared to be thinking, what you said gave me an idea. What i said? Yeah, about advantages.
Although my bloodline gives me more speed and strength than none bloodline holders it still not comparable to the corrupted beasts, but what it does gives me is a good eyesight.
I can see things kilometres away like they are right infront of me so why would I need to fight them in close combat when I can kill them from afar.
He smiled, that a good thoughts so what your plan? She pulled out tendons, they were from the boars. Anitta had the men skin the last boar yesterday while Thea and him were in the forest.
Without the three of them who ate more than others present, the boar was enough for the entire town, infact there was still some meat left.
He noticed this the first time but due to how much energy the boar contained, two bites were enough to fill a grown mans stomach and one small bites for kids.
She tied the sinew strings into a thick rope and tied them to a curved wood. She was making a bow. That is actually a good idea, he said.
She smiled, yeah, except I don't know how to make arrows, infact I don't anybody who can make arrowheads. Can't you just sharpen wood? Asked Anitta as she approached them.
No, they would just bounce off the beast hides, wait I have an idea. He still had a lot of daggers from the boars tusk, infact most were not even fashioned into daggers yet.
Ask around town for anybody who knows how to make arrow heads, I will be back. He ran back to his old room to retrieve the tusks and daggers.
In about two hours Anitta came back with 6 men and 1 women all claiming they know how to make arrow heads with proper material.
He dropped the tusks infront of them, can you use this? My.. my lo.lord, the man infront stuttered. Speak freely, do not fear, Anitta told him.
Yes my lady, I'm not sure we wo..would be able to work with this my lord but we can try. Good, you can begin. He and Thea watched but Anitta left, she had other things to do.
An entire hour passed but they had barely done anything to the tusks. Thea was losing her patience and honestly he was too. I'm leaving, he said.
He took Shade to the forest, they needed to hunt as they had ran out of food, ofcourse they could survive for longer without it but the towns people needed it.
They came back before nightfall, he was dragging multiple carcasses behind him, 6 to be exact. He has found a group of the mooing beasts which he learnt were called Bisons.
They were large with thick muscles and fur and their horns gleamed like polished spears. However they were merely rank one mortal grade beasts without any bloodline abilities other than just size and strength.
They were not hard to kill, the people noticed them and he could see the expectations in their eyes, they knew he would share with them.
Seeing the excitement in them made him a bit satisfied, yes that right, recognise my greatness, he thought. He brought the dead beasts to Anitta, she's the one who handles everything involving the people.
After that he went to check the progress on the arrows. He found Thea sitting next to a pile of arrowheads and a group of dejected people watching her.
What happened? They weren't going to finish so I did it myself. Yeah but how'd you know how to make arrows? I didn't, i still don't, see, she showed him a tusk.
It had markings on it in the shape of an arrowhead. Ohhh I see, that actually a good idea. I know. Let me help. The two of them worked together till nightfall.
Anitta called them to eat, they had made almost a hundred arrow heads. He ofcourse made 57 of them alone, which was much more than Thea even though he started later than she did.
A single tusk could make about 3 to 4 arrowheads and that only because they weren't good at it so they messed up a lot. They ate and watched the people talk happily with each other.
Is it me or are they eating more today, asked Thea. Now that he looked closely she was right. The people were eating much more than normal.
Ofcourse it was still extremely little compared to them but way more than two bites. What grade were these corrupted? Mortal, he replied. And the last ones? Earth.
Oh, I see, he said before Anitta could say anything, so the higher graded beasts have more energy? That should've been obvious, I'm surprised you even had to ask that, the same goes for higher ranks.
That makes sense, he looked at the people from the rooftop, they were chatting, laughing and overall looked happy, happier than he had ever seen them.
This was what he wanted to create and this was just the start, he would give them a home they would be proud of, one they would willingly fight for, that was a promise.
