Chapter 39 - My new life VI

Avon Ophyris

She took off the rope that she had in her dress and with it, she tied a stick with the stone with which she cut the lemon. Subsequently, she approached the bank of the river and stood still while holding the makeshift spear. She was trying to catch a fish. She failed several times, more than ten, but in the end, she succeeded. The fish was so big and she was so small that it cost her a lot to get it out of the water and she watched with concern that other animals were approaching her because of the smell of blood that was released from the badly injured fish.

I thought about helping her before an accident happened, but I was very curious about how I was going to solve that problem and what I was going to do next. She finally pulled the fish out of the water and when it stopped moving, she opened it in the middle with the spear and took out its internal organs. Then she cleans it with the water, to later try to get more fish. When she managed to catch 3 fish, he began to move and went back to the house.

I was watching her for so long that I did not notice when my brother came and stood next to me. Since we are twins, we can communicate without speaking and I understood that he was equally impressed to hear her actions. We decided that we were going to pretend we did not know anything and see him make the fish, so we decided to go to class and wait for the night.

The classes were just as boring as every day, the men began to receive the teachings of the tribe a month after they return to their human form, while the women do so when they turn ten, since, although it is supposed that teaching is a safe environment, this is not always the case. Therefore, it is tried that the girls are old enough to be able to defend themselves a little. Also, women have more classes than men, since at the end of the day they meet with the priestess so that she transmits the knowledge of the goddess to them. This is because those girls will be found the new priestess.
