Bardon is still unconscious with the blood all over him. Oddly enough, the bear seems not to care about him at all. The bear might be agitated by the wolves that might harm her cubs. The bear just wanted to defend her territory by unwanted predator.

While unconscious Bardon dreamed about his deceased son during the Great Battle of Quenterac, a battle took place in Quenterac (the planet where the exiles lived) two kings decide to rule over the planet and reigns supreme.

"This bloodshed never ends because of simple greed of power and sovereignty, countless family broke apart and innocent children dies. For what rich and glory?, life is just a simple toy for them", Bardon uttered. (Bardon once was the Grand Commander for King Granfrez, the king of the northern empire)

His son was a honourable knight for King Granfrez and would die to serve the king.

"I disliked my son because of his blind honor but I am proud of him and I regret that I never even said that to him, not even the day he died", Bardon thought.

"I wish I fought beside him til the every end. I wish that I died in that battle not him instead obeying that ruthless bastard of a king."

King Granfez eventually win the battle but for the price of Bardon son's life.

"After that incident, I resigned as a commander I would no longer see my king as a honourable man. I tried so hard to find another job just to fill my belly its a shame that Quinthiz (his wife) see me now today. I just a broken shell of a man of my former glory."

His wife died after giving birth of his son and somehow blames it so his son for giving birth to him.

"I am such coward and blissful moron back then I even blame the death of my beloved wife to my son, what a sad fuck I am."

"Maxilliom, my son. I am always been proud of you, always been. I'm sorry that I did, I put the blame on you when your mother died. Now we can fight along side with other again", Bardon uttered.

"Dad, I am always be with you no matter what", Maxilliom lamented voice increasingly fading.

"Son! Son! Come back!", Bardon whimpered.

"Son!"

He didn't realized that it was only just a dream. Bardon is suddenly awakened from a near death.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"I feel my wounds are getting better. I don't know what the hell happened", Bardon spoke with relief.

"I can still feel the pain though but I feel that it miraculously healed or something that is really weird. For extra measures", Bardon patched up his wounds from the thin portions of his bloodied clothing.

"I must get to the cave immediately or else the wounds starts opening again I best hurry", Bardon thought.

"He picked up his walking staff and began limping through the heavy snowstorm I am surprised that I didn't froze to death while I was in a short coma. That dream though its something else."

"Three hours later, Bardon finally made his way back to the camp. Good thing, that I didn't forgot to bring back the woods with me."

Bardon started the fire and boiled the snow using a wooden pot that Arden made for him on his backpack.

"Arden really thought about this journey this makes it a lot easier"

He drank the water and dressed his wounds to prevent it from getting an infection. He rested for a week to be able to completely got back up with his feet again.

"All I been eating this past few days with this fuzzy looking white creature (a bunny) they doesn't taste too bad to be honest but I would like some salt on it."

"Its a miracle that I survived from an attacked with those ferocious beast with nothing but a walking stick, I merely survived that one. After all of this is done, I would like Arden to make a decent weapon a sword to be exact or we might as well build a decent house as well", Bardon thought to himself.

"I forgot about the creature I need to find this creature even if I'm still injured I can't leave Garm and Arden unchecked", Bardon murmured.

As soon as he feels that his wounds are slightly getting better, he immediately thought about the woods that he has previously attacked.

"That strange woods is interesting I found two different creatures in the same time, I might found the specific specimen for this journey if I go back and venture that woods again", Bardon thought.

Packed his belongings and taking his walking stick he ventured again to the woods where he previously got unconscious from.

"This might sound stupid that I go out in that same area that I almost died from, but I'm desperate we won't survive this planet if we don't get aid in a form of man power we are too frail and weak to go on."

Even limping on his walking stick Bardon seems to motivated. He seems to be confident that this specimen might be lurking on this place.

"I know that if I don't get this shit done we are all doomed I can't go back to camp empty handed", Bardon uttered.

He slowed his pace for the nearby predators that might spot him.

"This place is cold, I can't last for a month I will die here."

Bardon decided to grab the locator that Arden gave him.

"I hope this will work," Bardon said.

He points the device to the nearest creature he can found but none of them seems to work.

"Arden said that the device should blink red if the creature of appropriate for synthesizing."

He points at the third creature that he spotted, no luck. As he gets deeper in the woods, the fogs seems be denser and denser.

"This might actually be bad news for me the fog gets thicker in the area I can't properly see where the specimen might be. I'm thirsty I need to find this specimen soon."

Luckily, after Bardon walked further and further to the dense fog. He miraculously spotted something.

"A lake? Frozen lake to be exact, Bardon thought to himself. I think I have a knife with me."

Bardon grabbed his knife and began stabbing the thick layered ice to get some water.

"This is way too thick but I need water I don't have a choice."

Unknowingly, Bardon seems to be attracting creatures by the way he stabbing the frozen ice, forcefully. The creature seems to be intrigued something that is hanging on his backpack.

As soon as the creature touched the pot that is hanging down his back. The locator started making noises alerting the prehistoric monkey (which is extinct nowadays).

Bardon quickly startled from the beeping noise and began to look behind him. The monkey swiftly ran away and climbed on a tree.

Bardon reacted and grabbed the third device and sapped the monkey in place, plummeted against the snowy ground.

"So this is what Arden was looking for, look at the size of the teeth of this thing its fucking massive."

"Arden was right, we are looking for a creature that is relatively look like an actual Euphymian it got arms and legs."

"Get up!", Bardon instructed.

"It's seems to understand as well."

"I need to get back to camp immediately. Finally, I found this thing", Bardon let out a sigh of relieve.
