Finding out

4 years later

My time in this village was coming closer to its end and I didn't fear for a thing since I had already reached the peak of what I could in this village which wasn't much, only thing I would miss was Lyra but she would do fine in the village since we had figured out that she had the deviant for of nature magic which wasn't great but she could still help the village out.

I threw the covers off of me and rolled out of bed to begin my daily chore list which had grown way longer over the years, due to my increasing strength, I put on my shoes and immediately was surrounded by people, 'Damn I guess she got impatient' they cuffed me and brought me towards the entrance of the village "Orion Rivers you are being banished for sorcery" I scoffed "And the proof" he smiled but the other man then said "The elder said she had seen you do it" I smiled "And I could say you did it but does that mean you actually did it" this began to make the crowd think but the man then said "doesn't matter the elder said to Banish you anyway" the steel gates began to open slowly and the crowd of people pushed me towards the exit when someone began to push past everyone towards me, my eyes widened when Lyra had pushed through the crowd and she said "if You Banish him you Banish me" I truly didn't think I had made that big of an impact on her since we rarely talked nowadays and when we did it was for a few minutes, the crowd of people didn't seem to care and the man said "means less people to feed" and we were pushed out of the gates and they closed behind us. "Hey Lyra I thank you for that but why?" I began to heat up my hands by thinking about how the village had betrayed me, this caused a fireball to form in my hands which I used to melt the metal she responded with "Well me and you are close friends so I cant leave you to die" I looked down at my hands and said "Ive had this planed out for years now" she seemed surprised and said "oh, I see" I set my hand on her shoulder "its fine I can change the plan a little for the both of us" this seemed to cheer her up slightly "Well the first thing we need to do is get cloths made for winter since we will be heading up north towards the supposed Awakend camp" she nodded and then said "How do we make winter gear" I sighed "we need to hunt furry creatures to get their fur" she nodded "and then we need to somehow stitch it together to make the cloths or we can kill bigger creatures" I said, she looked towards the forest "I don't know how much help ill be with this" I shrugged "you'll still be a help either way" we walked towards the forest in relative silence making the ocastional conversation.

eventually, we stopped and looked around and cleared the forest floor of the leaves and twigs, we then found some logs to build a fire to keep warm during the night that was ever so fast approaching "we need to find something to eat" she nodded and I looked around the area and found some grey berrys that I picked and brought back "might not be very much but its food" she grabbed one and inspected it and then shook her head "posinus for us" I frowned and threw them deeper into the forrest "damn was hoping for something easy" she walked into the forrest and I went the other way and looked for anything that was edible and I saw a rabbit in the distance eating something, I crouched behind a tree and watched the bunnie for a bit and then began to move forward to kill the bunnie it turned and for the first time I saw its blood red eyes glimer in the light as it spoted me and rapidly moved forward to try to kill me, I began to try to form a ball of wind but the rabbit moved to fast and lunged at me, It bit into my left forearm and wouldn't release, i screamed out in pain but still managed to grab the rabbits neck and began to crush it, the rabbit stoped moving and hung from my arm, i pulled its teeth out of me and immediately my arms were covered in blood so i took off my belt and tightened it on my uperarm and then brought the rabbit back to the small camp and Lyra was already sitting there with some berries in a small pile, when she looked up from the fire she said "Ohh my god, you shouldn't have tried to kill that thing" i shruged "ill be fine, probably" she shook her head "Ill heal it" i shook my head "don't or we wont survive" she frowned but didn't say anything else "anyway i need to skin this and then cook it" she nodded "well i found some none poisionus berries" i nodded towards them "i see that, good job" she smiled and then continued to eat the berries, i pulled out on of the teeth from the rabbit "this should work as a knife for now" and then i began to roughly cut the limbs off and skin it and when i was done i put it onto a small branch of a nearby tree, and then put the meat into the fire to cook, after a few minutes the meat was charged and then i pulled it in half and handed some to Lyra "My arm should heal fine since this is a low rank monster" she nodded and grabbed the piece of meat and ate it, we then went to sleep.
