Mugha came closer and opened his mouth.
"those Monryad couldn't help us. They said that humans didn't exist"
"DIDN'T EXIST?! THEN HOW SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T EXIST COULD KILL OUR FAMILIES?!"
"i tried to explain that to them.. but.."
Shanti moved closer and stopped him. Mugha knew something was off.
"..... there's two victim.... this morning..."
!!
-dash-
Mugha ran toward the center of the village. Two bodies were covered with brown blanket. He lost for his words.
"RHAAAAAAAAAA"
He dashed toward the entrance but Shanti already blocked his way.
"MOVE SHANTI!!"
"i won't..."
"-krrrrrrrrr-"
-blaar-
He stomped the ground as hard as he could to release his anger. Shanti still stood there with her strong determination showed on her face.
"-fuuh- I'm sorry...."
"as long as you understand Mugha"
"I don't get it ... why they keep killing us... just .."
"we already know the answer" The elder came from behind
"father?"
"it's already written in the old tale and prophecy. Human is our enemy. They were the reason for judgement war"
"but still.... they must have their reason"
"we don't need to know that nor we have capabilities to do that"
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"we need to discuss about our next move"
"understood father"
"yes elder"
They moved to the elder's house while the other started to prepare the ritual.
"Shanti? you're not coming with us?"
"go first. I will bring you the lunch"
".... thank you" Mugha nodded
They gathered at the house and started the meeting while Shanti gave the soup and bread to both of them.
"... there's no other way. Take too much time and our entire tribe will be annihilated"
"Mugha...is there really no other way?"
"Shanti.. you should realize by now. My power is not enough. Following the prophecy is the only way... Our furr'dhad definitely can save us"
This time, Shanti couldn't answer that. She put her hope to the Monryad race, yet they prevailed to answer it.
-knock knock-
Someone was standing near the entrance and everyone looked at him.
"Khall? what's wrong?" The elder asked him
".... i want to tell something that i heard when they captured me back there..."
"please sit down"
Khall's replication joined the meeting. He looked around before finally speaking.
"I've heard that human could moving between places using their magic device"
"and that's a problem?" Mugha asked
"yes. They could move to this village from their fort in an instant"
"!! is that true?"
"I've heard so. They could move their soldiers here in a very large number"
"that means.... we could be attacked anytime.... with a very large troop" Shanti was shocked
"that's the worst possibility... we can't survive for sure"
"why didn't you tell us yesterday? why now?" The elder was curious
"... I forgot. Maybe because I'm tired"
".... that makes sense"
"see now Shanti? do we have another option?" Mugha looked at her
"can't we just leave this village?"
"and where will we go then?"
"to the north... to the white tail tribe"
"Vallen tribe?! are you serious Shanti?!"
"they are also Half-beast. We are the children of ROGNIR"
"...that idea is worse than asking for Monryad's help" Mugha shaked his head
"Half-beast in the north.... i see..."
"Khall? you say something?"
"no... it's nothing"
Mugha turned around and looked at his father.
"how about you father? do we have another option?"
"i think leaving this village will be..."
"seriously father? we are the proud and mighty Half-beast from Ohre village. Half-beast beast in the south. What will we become if we leave our home? our land?"
"We are still the proud and mighty Half-beast from Ohre village"
"by running away from human? abandoning our home?"
"this is emergency situation. Everyone will understand.."
"our beast god ROGNIR had given his prophecy!! i don't understand why you and Shanti don't want to accept that?! The elder and shaman should be the one who understood that!!"
-brakk-
The elder slammed the table. Everyone looked at his direction.
"enough Mugha. Why you always talked about prophecy and the last howl sacrifice ritual?!"
"because that's the only option that we had. That's the right thing to do"
"sontt throw your life so easily! why do you want to sacrifice yourself?!"
"father... i live my life to the fullest. I really value my life and don't want to throw it for anything useless. I need you to understand, this is the only way... that we have"
They couldn't responded to the Mugha's words. The room became silent for a moment.
