"Uhm.. What's wrong with all your faces?" Little white had a puzzled look on her face as she looked at her families shocked faces.
"Ehhhhhh she is speaking!" The family was utterly thrown into confusion, it was quite understandable since she had not yet become a 1st spirit gathering spirit beast and unlocked her spirit wisdom…. And she seemed so nonchalant about the what just happened.
'Weren't we just under attack and you are walking like you are casually going on a stroll after being attacked by the little wolf that was a spirit beast while she was an ordinary beast!' They began to think to themselves in frustration.
"Oh that! Right right, when I ran away I ate a plant and all of a sudden I got a lot smarter." Little white smiled as she lied to her family 'Of course I cannot tell them everything as they would not understand, even most humans wouldn't believe me..'
Old grey was a little doubtful but sighed deeply. "So what happened to the wolf that went after you?"
"Oh the pup… That fellow was very annoying so I sent him away." She blinked her eyes innocently.
"Uhm sis where did you send him?" Little grey asked cautiously as the others looked serious.
"Well of course he got sent to his death." She blinked again.
The family were trying to catch up on this new information, their previous timid and silly daughter was now casually chatting about herself killing a wolf stronger than herself like it was no big deal.
Little white surveyed the camp, stamped her feet like a proud little leader and began praising everyone. "Oooo well done everyone, I knew you would beat those silly wolves."
"Thanks?" The others were feeling a little depressed now.
"No need for thanks, we are all family right? Let's hurry and collect their cores and head back to the mountain tonight! The smell of blood will reach the other beasts soon and it will only get more dangerous here." Little white spoke sniffing the air and observed the surroundings.
"She's right, we should get going." While feeling a little depressed old grey found his little daughter quite funny but she seemed to have a good grasp on the current situation so could only agree.
The family began to make their way back while little white chatted happily to her sister, while her brother silently watched over.
Her mother looked at her filled with love and care while receiving support from old grey on the journey.
Old grey smiled happily gazing into the starry night through a gap in the tree tops and spoke to his wife. "The kids have grown up finally"
His wife had a tear in the corner of her eyes began to smile. "I'm so glad we took this trip, look at them now. I don't think we need to worry any longer."
