“It’s not the best. Far from being one,” the chained Zeras said, looking at Zeras who just finished summarizing his entire laugh about himself to him.
“Still, I’ll say it’s far better than yours,” Zeras replied, looking at the figure that was currently chained up.
For how long has he even been chained for? How had he handled the loneliness that comes with being chained all alone at the bottom of the ocean? Was that what he could manage to do on his own? Zeras thought to himself, and the young man only gave his usual grin.
“I’ve had better days...” he replied, when suddenly he turned his gaze upwards, a slightly displeased expression evident on his face. And Zeras knew the reason for that.
“A short meeting it is, just as it’s always been,” he said, as the young man smiled. The first smile he’s had in years now.
“Can I ask you to do a thing for me?” he suddenly asked as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
“And what is that?”
“I need something from you. Something only you can do,” he began.
“And what is that?”
“A purple earring,” he said as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
“Come closer and cut a strand of my hair,” he suddenly said. Zeras walked towards him, pinching off a strand that was stretched towards him.
“Once you take that to the outside world, you will feel the location of the earring. I’ll bring you back in six months from now. And don’t worry too much about the ancient warriors of King Val.
After walking for a few minutes, he found the cat’s footprints and walking for more distance, he began finding other strange footprints. It was almost like Fluffy’s footprints except around five times bigger, rivaling that of a human footprint’s size, and instead of four footprints like Fluffy, which denoted walking on all fours, that one was in two, which shows whatever creature it was, probably walks on two legs.
Immediately, the air behind Zeras exploded as he burst forward with horrific speed, rapidly chasing after the footsteps.
He had learned of what Rowa said about the place, being that strange groups called Aboriginals dominated the area.
But he had no idea of who or what they really were, if they were welcoming of invaders or not. Still, he was sure he could protect Fluffy from whatever harm.
But who would have thought he would have descended into slumber, until he never even knew when Fluffy disappeared from his side.
Running through the woods, he could see smoke in the distance, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Rapidly running towards the smoke area, he came across a village settlement.
A settlement with about fifty bamboo houses, but he could sense that there was no one in the houses, and even more, he could see various large footprints present around the place.
“A clan of aboriginals,” Zeras thought to himself, using the footprints and houses as proof. Finally, he could hear the strange sounds. A strange sound that resembled not a human, but a... cat?
Immediately, Zeras closed in on the clan’s center. He was finally able to see them, a total of four beings holding roughly crafted spears of bamboo.
They were humanoid and tall, around 2 meters in height, and strangely, their skins were covered in strange furs of a total of two colors, just like that of a cat.
Their legs were also like that of cats, bent and also covered with furs, but their hands were humanoid, although possessing the lankiness and sharpness of claws.
Soon, Zeras arrived closer to them and immediately they sighted him.
