"that bastard Joseph, did he think that he is the leader of this village.just because my dad died at the start of the cataclysm, did he think that he can take my inheritance " shouted by Raymond.
"dear, please speak in low voice.people will hear"
"you to talk back against me... I know you married me just because I was going to the village leader. you want to leave me now..right?"
"dear, don't talk like that please..al least think about our son"
" son..where did he go?? if he comes crying again after getting kicked by that little devil joan. I will skin him"
"dear don't talk loud if Joseph hear you said a bad thing about joan he will come here"
"don't worry. its been ten days after they left. just like Joan's foolish father he will die at the hands of wind wolves. if both sides died in the fight it's better"
" I feel uneasy, what if they came back as a winner. he already a favorite of everyone. after came back if you suggest moving the village. you will lose your last claim on this village"
"foolish girl, I already talk to a few people about it"
"but Joseph told you not divulge the information about moving to normal villagers"
"who he was to order me? foolish girl you will understand everything soon. you don't know people don't like to move outside of their comfort zone.they just need a reason to protect it. I will give them that reason " Raymond started to smile like everything happening is in his control.
............................
"it's been five days after they left nirvana Mountain.all of my injuries healed. the healing power of a one-star body is amazing. what if it becomes two star or three star.i should work hard" hari thought.
"what are you thinking brother hari. are you fear that people never follow us back to new settlement?"
"...." actually hari never think about it before. he always thought that it is common sense to move to the safe zone.
"maybe there will be no problem...right"
"don't worry brother, I Joseph and my brothers (hunters) protect and feed the village all these years. people trust us" after saying this a proud smile came from Joseph and hunters.
.....….........................
" mom, my friends called uncle hari devil spawn"
"what?"
"don't worry mom, I beat him good this time .he never dare to call uncle hari like that"
".....…!!"
at that time agnes hear some loud voices outside her house.she also felt some unrest in the village after Joseph felt.its been long year's people making problems outside her house.agnes opened the house.
"brother Raymond, what do you need? why are you shouting in front of my house?"
"agnes, ask your little devil...look at my son his hand bone is broken"
"brother Raymond, few days before your son made fun of my dead husband and make joan cry.what did you say that time 'it is a problem between children no need to adults to join' .why did you come now?"
"agnes, don't believe Joseph is always come to save you. may be he already dead by now.i don't know anyone else foolish enough to believe that there is a safe zone in this catalytic world"
"RAYMOND, it is over the limit. if you talk bad about Joseph again I will show you who I am"
people who enjoy the show outside is started to swear at Raymond for telling bad thing about Joseph.
"sister agnes I didn't mean like that. I just wanted to say that devil spawn hari using brother Joseph to his own uses"
"hari is the savior of my child.are you calling him devil spawn because saving her. you even called my daughter little devil just now"
"no, no sister... I was angry at that time because of my son"
at that time a young hunter who was in charge of protecting the village came running.
" sister agnes...they returned...leader Joseph is returned..they will reach our village in a few minutes... I need to ring the bell to notify everyone"
.............................
when hari and group reached the village entrance. he saw almost all the villagers came to welcome them.some of them hailing Joseph. hari felt the prestige of Joseph.then hari sense some people looking at him weirdly he felt hate, good intentions, mixed emotions from these gazes.joseph also felt this weird atmosphere.
"uncle Joseph..uncle hari..you came back..joan is worried" joan was struggling to get in front of people.joseph went there and picked her up.
"what happened my little sweetheart?"
"uncle Raymond said uncle Joseph is going to die because of uncle hari. he called uncle hari devil spawn... I forgot he called me little devil too"
Joseph looked at Raymond who was smiling at him. seeing Joseph looking towards him Raymond felt cold shiver.he was sure joan told everything.
"brother Joseph welcome back... I Raymond in the name of village congratulate and thank you for the successful elimination of our greatest enemy wind wolves "
"Raymond tell me why did you talk bad about people who went hunting"
"Brother Joseph I don't mean like that I just called brother hari like that because he wanted our village to his place"
after hearing that people started to get restless.
"why do I need to move out. this house is my all saving"
"This is my place my family lived generations"
"I already old I am not moving anywhere"
.....
.....
after hearing this Joseph felt awful. he just boasts at hari that everyone will hear him
"IT IS NOT HARI, BUT ME JOSEPH WHO DECIDED TO MOVE. I BELIEVE EVERYONE WILL BE READY TO MOVE IN THREE DAYS."
Joseph shouted loudly. people stopped talking to each other.even though they showed their reluctance through facial expressions.
"I want to move our village because brother hari found a safe zone where no animals will attack. i thought for our future generations it is best to move out. and about hari he is a hero who fights against alfa wolf for saving fellow hunters. he killed alfa wolf with his bare hand.if anyone cuss at him he will be my enemy"
after Joseph's speech people started to think about it.at that time Raymond's lips started to curve up.
"Brother Joseph I don't want to make you angry, I just wanted to ask you instead of common people.you and our brave hunters killed our village's enemy wind wolf pack. now there no enemy which affects our village .then why would we need to move.what difference here and that fabled safe zone?"
Joseph who was a warrior not a politician started to get irritated at these wordplays felt his hard work becomes waste.
"I will move out three days from now.who ever wish to follow me should ready for moving out that day"
"we will follow you leader" all hunters who came to hunt decided to follow Joseph. they knew protection of the safe zone. more than that they trust Joseph. Joseph and hunters left to their house respectively. raymond felt gloated inside. hari felt most of the people against moving out. just like Joseph he also not a good speaker. but still, he decided to speak a few words for Joseph.he called out people who going back.
"foolish people... I felt sad for Joseph who fight and support this village from cataclysm days. if he and his brother didn't come back just like other villages this too becomes extinct. still you guys doubt him? unfaithful bastards"
