4 years went by , the 3 babies were now young kids , yet unlike any other kids in the village their age. Usually the kids their age only had playing in their mind , but for the three brothers, it was different. Eric actually got back to playing pranks on their parents.

Their Father was the village chief again! he was a strong and bulky fellow and named Rolland . His hands and shoulders were buff and had black hair. he was the strongest in the village . he could chop down trees easily and carry 500 pounds stones as if he was just lifting just lifting his hand. He always carried an Axe on his back and had the habbit to train early every morning to keep on strenthening .

When they reached 3 years old was when eric got the urge to play a prank on his father . So he dug a hole in the yard his father trained in and hid it with bushes , the traditional old trick. So he pretended to get hurt which caused his father to rush to him leaving his training and tumbling down after tripping. Eric laughed so hard , his stomach started hurting. Rolland then grabbed Eric and spanked him twice then leaving to go back to training.

Vince uttered a stiffle laugh while Cross started rolling on the ground. A 33 year old played a prank on his father and got spanked in return . the look on eric's face was priceless with his face so red from embarassement.

Cross on the other hand saw the childhood memories when one pranked and one beat up children. he also had the urge to go kick some random kid's ass. fortunatley, Vince stopped him . So he decided to train with his father . this made Rolland really happy, because of his 3 children , Cross was the one with most resemblance , be it body or face.

Cross looked a bit chubby yet strong with black hair like his father and black eyes with a bit of white in their pupils . Vince on the other hand had black hair down to his shoulders , he was a bit taller than the other two and white skin like his mother and blue eyes. wWhile Eric had Red hair which was quite a bit tall and black eyes. They had differents traits from their parents mixed so each one came out unique.

That year was uneventeful, except for the training that Cross had to go through got harder and harder. The wierd thing is even though this traing was something that adults in their own world was not capable of enduring, a small child could and ended up getting even stronger. This aroused doubts, from rebirth they knew that their was something strange, but the fact that 3 brothers shared 1 body seemed ordinary to them. So they trained too and felt themselves getting stronger and faster than what was possible before.

3 years went by. Hunting and fishing were the main source of income for the village. Their dad was the best hunter so he taught them how to lay traps , how to lure beasts , how to avoid them...

The three got even taller , with Vince still the tallest. They were now the strongest kids in the village even stronger compared to some adults . This made Rolland so happy that he bragged about it each time he drank with his buddies.

Without a doubt , considering strength , Cross was a league beyond the two. He can now pick a 500 pound stone while the two can only pick a 300 at most while 500 was not Cross's limit.

But considering battle prowess Vince was number one! As strength and battle prowess are two different concepts . He had amazing fast speed ! he can run 100 meters in 4s to 5s while the other can do so in 7s to 8s and had unbelievable reaction time speed . and he trained his sword to be faster than him by only using the most basic techniques over and over again. Stab-Slash-cut- Draw-pierce... each a couple thousand times a day .

As for Eric , that one can be considered the weakest yet also the strongest. He loved the bow as he always played pranks from afar and got used to ambushing people. This was the best choice for him, while the weakest between the three in comparison to their physical attributes he had an advantage, his sight was much much better than theirs and if one gave him enough time to lay down a strategy then he would be in for a big trouble while his eyesight helped him see targets from hundreds of meters a way. He trained archery so hard that he could now hit bull's eye continuously in the rage of 300 meters.

The three of them had build a base of their own a tree house in which they discussed anything they wanted in private.

They hunted beast for the first time when they were seven years old as a 3 man team, Eric as scout and archer, Vince with his speed luring the beast and Cross hiding near by to strike. they were going into the forest to hunt a boar or a deer. Yet Eric seemed to have something else in mind as he spotted a tiger a few hundred meters away, still a safe distance.

The tiger did not have stripes but a tattoo on its skin , somewhat strange yet mysterious.He relayed to Vince that the tiger was injured .

" then something must have injured it , and since you said it looks like it's still in a vigilant state , the attacker must be quite near by!" vince said

" let's hide and see the show " replied Cross

"hehehe" Eric giggled

and indeed a snake about 20 meters came chasing and hissing at the tiger for tresspassing into its territory , the snake was also injured , it had multiple claw marks on its body and was bleeding and seemed lacerated on its face while the tiger seemed poisonned.

The two fought for an hour , enough time to realize that they were not normal beasts. The elders at the village always warned that if they saw these kind of creatures , run! Just run! Never try fighting them!

The trio had something else in mind. This could help clear some of their doubts. So they waited till the two were launching at each other for 1 last strike being at their wits end .

whoosh!

whoosh!

2 arrows came from 1 side of the forest while the two were jumping at each other .

the two beasts twisted their body but what they did not expect was an extremely agile young kid jumping behind and cutting with an extreme speed brining out his potential cutting the head of the snake first as poison was the most dangerous for them now .

the other side had Cross jumping and bringing his axe down with full strength on the skull of the already heavily injured tiger. the beast had no way to act again while mid-air.

This ended up with both beasts dead and the grinning faces of the trio. What they did not realize was that if the tiger was not poisonned or if the snake was not extremly injured , even if they were six of them they would still die, so luck played a big role in them living on.

" his mother! hahahahha that was intense waiting for Vince's call! but we got a huge harvest!" Crossed laughed

" hehehe ... imagine the looks of the elders when we bring the corpse back" Eric laughed as he liked to show off!

while Vince just stood there shaking his head seemingly deep in thought as they looked at him puzzled.
