Chapter 13 - Home Living

Now that the primary beasts he interacted with all had names and had become acquainted with one another they all settled in to start living close to one another. To make this possible the Rogans were built a special house that used water logged trees and was built into the Rivers edge as the Rogans loved swimming and they vastly enjoyed their new living accommodations. Next up the Reffuns needed adequate living space and something easily accessable for them. The nameless one accomplished this task by building a home at the tops of the trees and used a ramp system so he as well as the Rogans and the Rahils could easily access them too. The Reffuns home was a small network of treehouses with perch like porches they could land on to as then go into their respective dwellings which consisted of nesting materials they would bring in. The nameless one wanted to allow each of his friends to do their own decorations and make the homes unique to themselves so he had no part in the interiors of these homes.

Each of these homes served a triple purpose.

*First it was a safe place for his new friends to live, while also being closer to himself.

*Second it allowed them to be able to defend their respective positions with the Rogans protecting the river and the Reffuns protecting the skies and being able to view the vast forest more easily.

*Third it gave them a better way to interact in each other's environments and felt much less uncomfortable for the native species. Even the Rogans would occasionally travel up the ramps to see the Reffuns and vice versa with the Reffuns to see the waterways.

Like this a small economy of trade also developed as the Rogans had a steady supply of fish and crustaceans they would catch and trade with the Reffuns for land based prey. The nameless one and Blu would assist the Rahils and they would forage for materials to keep upgrades going. The nameless one also provided training to the two new species as well as better armor and when possible weapons for his friends in exchange for the friendship and occasional fish or land based prey. He did have a taste bud or two for unique foods after all.

He built the Reffuns a unique leather armor they could loosely wear over their feathers which helps protect them and even made higher altitude falls less impactful. He also built them metallic talon tips to give them an edge when fighting hard shelled beasts. They were razor sharp and if they got damaged it was easier to replace then the Reffuns waiting on a new talon to grow.

The Rogans on the other hand didn't need much in the ways of armor as they were moving barricades of scale and muscle but he did build them a cushioned footwear to allow them to run more easily and make them makeshift gauntlets that could fold down over their forearms when running to be used as additional mini battering Rams. It quickly became a new favorite tactic of theirs to use their head first and then slam their prey directly into the sky with their arms afterwards. Rek and Jek were by far the most violent of the bunch when fighting as each attack would instantly break most creatures they encountered.

Noting all of these facts down the nameless one secretly always planned for potential rebellion even from his friends as he couldn't risk what happened with the Cenives to occur again. He studied their fighting styles constantly always becoming one step ahead and always ready to defend himself if the need arose. While doing so he also made a few ranged weapons. The first was a larger style bow that took an incredible amount of strength to wield but it also shot metal barbed javelin type arrows. These were the arrows he made to resist the Rogans if ever necessary and he built a smaller bow he could fire with a trigger system after loading the arrows. This was the bow that held a light but dense arrow and when this arrow Head impacted it would split apart shredding what it encountered. These arrows were great for flying creatures like the Reffuns and would even be a useful weapon against the Cenives. While doing all this Blu's race the Rahils grew increasingly close to the nameless one. They all seemed to accept Blu as their leader as she was the biggest and strongest of the bunch and they followed her loyally. Due to this the nameless one made them leather armors and made them a small style bow they could wear on their backs and fire using a strap that hung from their leather armor by their head. The Rahils simply needed to bite and pull it and the arrow would fire. Each one could only fire once before he was needed to reload it but with 10 of these arrows flying forwards it became a deadly tactic towards any creature threatening them. It still was not perfect as aiming wasn't the Rahils strong suit so the nameless one did his best to train them up and make it easier for them to fire and fire in the general direction they wanted it too. They could hit a target in a general location up too twenty meters away about four out of ten shots so while it wasn't perfect it did have some results.

During this time Blu found a mate. He was the strongest of the Rahils beside Blu and he was covered in dark Blue almost black fur and had a scar on his back from where Blu had first taught him a lesson. He respected and loved Blu for that though as she cared for the Rahils like a true leader. Seeing this the nameless one grew happy to see his best friend happy after so many years and he even gave her mate a name because of this. His name was Basun.

During all of these events two years had passed by with no sign of the Cenives but they steadily built up their own community. They wielded Spears with a reverse side having a crude blunt end on they could impact creatures with breaking bones or stunning hard shelled ones with. The Cenives grew increasingly violent and took over the entire forest they inhabited forcing the small species that had just begun to evolve there to be their prey and constantly live in fear of these beasts.

The Cenives leader was not named Grug this time around as the future had been changed this name wasn't even an idea in the leaders head. Now he had given himself the name of Fuhit. Fuhit was the name of the first leader so it was well respected however only the leader knew the true reason for this name. This name meant Failure to him and he would bear it until he rectified his failures! Fuhit would have his revenge against that blasted creature and it's pet.

Fuhit was still an intelligent creature and built a shabby home resembling the nameless ones shack he spied upon for his clan. They would reside in it at night and leave during the day to forage for food and resources to grow stronger with and to continue to prepare against the Human and his pet. Little did Fuhit know but one of his first children bore by the first female with three children was actually just as intelligent as he was. Most Cenives had a decent intelligence for these species but were still unable to compare to him; however this son he bore life too was planning something of his own.
