For a moment the world around him slowed. He felt like he was falling to the bottom, like he didn't make the jump. Then his feet landed on the rock and everything went back to normal and they continued walking.
"Rinn, you're such a scared cat I cant. How are you the chieftains son and are still scared of heights." before Rinn had a chance to say something back Ben continued to talk good 5 minutes, then change the talk back to how much cool stuff they will do when they arrive at there.
The group continued to walk for over an hour. Talking, pushing each other and joking around.
"Jakiel give me back my water bottle" NJ shouted as Jakiel ran forwards with the bottle in hand that he sneakily took from his bag
"Make me, or you can't?" Jakiel replied running more to the front. NJ quickly started to move after him. He nearly caught Jakiel, but he slipped out right as he was about to catch him and threw the bottle to Ben, who ran a bit back.
NJ continued to run after who had the bottle, until he grabbed Jakiel who just caught the bottle from Rinn
"Well well well, now you're mine now" NJ said before pushing Jakiel off and putting the bottle back to where it should be
Rinn just chuckled at this chaos. He didn't participate in it himself as he was the slowest out of all of them.
"Hey guys look I think I see it" Rinn shouted to them
"No way bro, is your eyesight that good? I knew you had a better one than us, but bro this is too much" NJ said, before muttering another chant under his breath as the orbs light amplified slowly
"Rinn if you're lying imma kick your ass right here and now" Ben said, and looked at Jakiel as he was about to say something
"Same goes to you if you make this sound gay, you faggot"
Such shallow threat didn't stop Jakiel though
"Damm bro a threesome and foreplay, didn't know you were that freaky"
Jakiel then started running as Ben chased after him. While NJ continued to make the orb shine brighter and brighter. After a few minutes the orb was bright enough and they saw the cliff end and the massive sea start many giant spikes sticking out of it and many cliffs made from them decaying. Such a beautiful place was undisturbed by light, except the one visitor brought it.
"Okay, I understand why you wanted to bring us here Ben" NJ said overlooking the majestic sea, the dark water, the beautiful spikes and cliffs making this masterpiece.
"Told you, now can you help me beat up Jakiel, I can't anymore" Ben said while still chasing Jakiel who outran him a bit
DJ just nodded and also started to run after the two of them. The orb following him. After a minute or two Rinn was left alone overlooking the sea. He sat down, and continued to look. The Dark didn't hinter his vision. This was a trait he was born with. He didn't know why. His father, the chief just told him that all the males in his bloodline have had this for millennials. That their bloodline was special, for what purpose he could just ponder.
Rinn concentrated and started to pull out his Gyv again, making the faith he always had into his own Gyv always was not easy. But his tribe believed he was a prodigy. He just accepted the faith and his Gyv grew and grew. He started to imagine something again as he closed his eyes.
A giant wolf. He though what would be his face like. He made his face fur all white with a scar over his left eye. He imagined that the wolfs eyes should be blue. The he should be red, like his Gyv and that he should have no more injuries. Then he struggled to think of how the teeth would look like. How the rest of the body would look like.

Suddenly he opened his eyes as he heard moaning near his ears. He quickly jumped up, but found that Jakiel, Ben and NJ had came back.
"Bro did you fall asleep? HAHAHAHAHAH" Ben laughed. Jakiel quickly followed suit.
The 2 of them laughed to their hearts content. NJ soon also caved in together with Rinn. the four of them laughed and laughed.
After the laughter died down Ben stepped towards the cliffs edge, overlooked the sea and jumped down. Rinn quickly reacted by running near the edge to see if ben really just jumped to his doom. Then an air wave whooshed past him knocking him back as Jakiel and NJ laughed even harder. Ben flew out with on the back of a massive bird. Rinn instantly recognized that the bird was made purely of Gyv.
"Congrats on your first summon Ben. A bird for fucks sake? Really" Rinn shouted towards Ben, as he was far higher than him
"Yup" Ben flew down and landed the giant bird
"Aight, now lets go for a flight, watcha say?"
Before Ben could say anything with his fast mouth Jakiel already was speaking
"Dibs on the place between NJ and Ben."
Ben was astonished for a second that Jakiel could speak faster than him, but then retorted
"Told you he's gay"
Jakiel laughed harder, before starting to deny it, but it turned into an argument. He still got the seat between them. Rinn sat in the back behind NJ. The bird darted up and they soon found themselves flying over the Sea.
It was magnificent, everyone of them looked down amazed. Then Ben started turning the bird to the left and down , they flew down to the far. Until they were right above the sea. So near that they could touch it, but nobody did. The bird flew the spikes that were massive this low, dodging each of them.
Ben continued to fly them for a while, before turning around and starting to fly back. As they got back Ben unsummoned the Bird and looked back at Rinn, Jakiel and NJ
"Told you I'd show you something cool. Now who's up to go back to the tribe and go to eat?"
Everyone perked up at the suggestion and they started walking back to the tribe. The walk wasn't much different than before, other then Rinn making the jump without fear this time. He just beat that hurdle. That jump couldn't scare him anymore.
As they entered the tribe and walked past some people they went to Granny Nona. When they arrived she instantly pulled out 4 plates and made them her special Steak. Everyone dug and chatted while eating. After the meals were fully devoured they started to part ways.
"I will be going now. I need to go help my mom" NJ spoke
"Same for me" Jakiel added
"I'm going to go join my Dad, he said he'll teach me how to fight better. And you Rinn? What about you" Ben asked
"I'll go see what Mara is doing. You know her, she can't stay put"
Ben chuckled and all of them parted ways for that day. Rinn went back to the cave and saw that Mara was still playing with Reddy. When she saw him walk in she waved and ran to him
"Hi big bro, so what did you do???? Tell me tell me tellmeteelmetellmetellme"
Rinn just pushed her off of him and sighed.
"Nothing happened Mara, now go back with playing with Reddy or ill unsummon him and go to sleep"
Mara scoffed angrily
"You're so mean sometimes big bro"
Then she went off and continued to play with Reddy and the other kids there. Rinn just continued to watch them for a while, before closing his eyes and there he was again. The wolf. now it was more detailed than before.
"Did he fix what I didn't make good" Rinn muttered under his breath. He didn't even know that he did that. He continued to slowly sculpt the wolf in his mind. He saw that the bird than Ben made was clunky, A basic bird he could make quite easily if he put him mind to it, but Rinn didn't want that. He wanted to make perfect summons. Indistinguishable from real animals. Maybe even better.
Rinn continued to make the beast. He was nearly done, when suddenly he felt a nudge and his sisters words and shouting.
"Big bro. wake upppppp. Wake UPppppppppp. WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP"
"Ughhh. Mara, what happened? I was busy"
"'Big bro, you were sleeping. You even unsummoned Reddy a bit ago. I though you wanted to mess with me. Then I heard you snoring" Mara giggled
"So what were you dreaming about?" She continued
"I don't remember actually., but I think you had enough play time for today. Let's go back to the tribe. Daddy should be home. Tomorrow ill summon Reddy again okay? Rinn said while fist bumping her
"Okay big bro, but you always say that you don't remember" Mara said and started running out of the cave.
Rinn looked around and found that he and Mara were the only ones left there while contemplating that . He sweared in his mind for falling asleep. Then he got up and started to follow Mara back to the tribe.
Once he got back he instantly went to his tent. Pulled out the sleeping bag. Undressed and went to sleep feeling drained. As he fell to slumber he once again saw the wolf and started to sculpt him again, fully forgetting anything besides that.
