MADY
While running, Mady asked Piper "Piper why are you so slow! You slow us down!"
Piper was breathing deeply and kept running "I, I was feeling very strong. How can you be so strong?"
Viny asked "Piper, how many seconds did you last on your ritual?"
Piper shouted angrily "What nonsense! When there are thousands of red people to be chosen for the ritual, there is no way to perform the ceremony to me!"
Boden laughed "Haha, these were not strengthened during the ritual! All of these nomads went through the ritual. The weakest link was Piper and the other two then."
Piper's anger turned to surprise. "What does it mean? Is there a ritual for you?"
Mady nodded "Of course, the ritual was held. We killed many creatures. Even the chieftain could be killed in that skirmish. Our contribution was huge!"
Piper shocked "But that's impossible!"
Boden said without ever diminishing the smile on his face "Where's the impossible! That man slept while hugging Adbel. I think this is more impossible. Stop bullshit!"
Harper grunted "What's impossible to embrace the big-titty woman. Hmph!"
Mady blushed looking at her breasts and then looking at Boden "I still haven't asked you about the pool. I will make you heavy pay for this!"
Boden gulped and looked at Viny. Viny didn't even understand Boden's mood because he was looking forward.
Looking at Boden, Mady ordered "BODEN! You run far behind. So, my hatred of you may decrease a little."
Boden angrily yelled at Mady, "What does that mean! I will never run far behind or in the front ..."
Mady loudly insulted as if she was mumbling herself. Boden didn't even get there. About an hour later, they found the Akons. But these Akons were dead. Sagu was among the dead. Some parts and features of their bodies were heartbroken. Viny quietly pointed in a direction with his hand signals and they started running in that direction.
Ten minutes later, they found another group of Akons' bodies. When they ran for another half hour, they stopped at Harper's signal. "There are six squirrels up to 2 meters tall with fox-like tails. They also have armor on them."
Viny took out his own binoculars and after looking a little "There's a den in there. They guard it or wait for something out there. Since Akons are going in this direction, they may hold some Akons in prison there. Or they are all there!"
Boden took the binoculars from Viny and looking a little "I think they appear quite easy. They are not in a state of panic. It seems as if whatever is inside is completely under their control." After a few minutes the group rested, the voices were heard. 12 squirrels came towards the waiting squirrels from another side of the forest. There were three Akons that they tied with them.
Harper said "I think we should run. Squirrels must be very strong. Otherwise they could not catch Akons." Boden nodded in agreement. Piper wanted to run away from everything. After studying a little more, Viny said "If they leave, we'll raid. There should be few squirrels left. After all, we have to spend 3 more months with the Umra nomads to accomplish the mission. If we succeed, we can be immortal. So, let's focus on solving the problem, not running away from the problem."
Mady nodded "You're someone who makes logical decisions at the most comfortable times, and makes irrational decisions at the most serious times, let's do what you say!"
"Me?" Viny pointed to his nose.
Mady nodded like a chicken eating barley. Harper wrinkled her nose "Don't give a face him, then he'll hug you too"
Viny looked at Harper with interest. "This is the third time I've heard this. I guess my hug for Adbel made you unhappy."
Harper made a middle finger gesture when Boden looked towards Harper like Viny.
Mady asked Harper "Harper, are you really interested in this klljoy?"
Boden gulped and thought about what Harper had said during the night shift. 'If I don't stop there will be blood.'
Boden caught everyone's attention "There are 10 squirrels left the den now. 8 squirrels remain behind. 4 squirrels were inside, and 4 squirrels are outside. We are 5 people. If we are careful, we can do this job."
Viny and others watched 10 squirrels leave. After a few minutes, when there was no activity, they moved quickly to the area where the den was located. After drawing their sword, they took down their bags and took an attack position.
At Harper's signal, Viny, Mady, and Piper turned from the right, Harper and Boden turned from the left, and they quickly clashed. Mady and Piper welcomed the Squirrels.
Viny would move behind Mady's and attack the squirrel in front of Mady. But in a surprising move, Viny's short sword hit the squirrel's head in the distance, opposite Piper. For a moment, Piper stuck her sword in the eye of the squirrel, who lost his balance due to sudden hit from behind and got killed. Mady and Viny killed the other squirrel and backed Boden and Harper and killed the four squirrels without much noise.
Viny quietly brought the group to the entrance of the lair. They entered slowly and cautiously. It was dark inside, and nothing was visible. Viny pulled them all back out. They lit fire from the trees with a rag, extracted animal oil from the hip area of one of the dead squirrels and used it as a torch. They went inside again with the torch and saw four squirrels sleeping inside. Each one took his sword and at the same time they killed the squirrels by sticking them in their eyes.
Then, after moving a little inside, they found 13 Akons in the area that was closed like a cage. Gilen was among them. Gilen was surprised to see Viny and the others. Viny made a hush sign. After slowly rescuing the prisoners, they went a little deeper. They found another cage. There were 4 akons here and they were killed. Their hearts were removed and consumed by ritual. For a much larger and stronger squirrel, apparently performing ritual, was on the ground, unconscious in the magic formation.
Viny took his sword and came to the strong squirrel, which was unconscious and whose body was still growing all the time. He pointed its right eye to Boden. Boden came to him and moved his sword at its right eye, Viny brought his sword closer to its left eye. He counted back "three, two, one ..." and at the same time they thrust their swords into the squirrel with all their might. It struggled to death on the ground and stopped moving after 10 seconds and died.
Viny took a deep breath and said "He might not really die with one sword."
Looking around, Mady said "Look! Look what I found!" Everyone was shocked when they turned their eyes. A ritual-type method was marked on the wall. A triangle was drawn with the blood of the sacrifice, and an individual passed to each corner of the triangle. In the middle of the triangle, you put the heart of the sacrifice. You repeat 'La foma de galiga enta' three times. Then the strength in the heart of the deceased is evenly distributed among you.
After everyone looked a little, Viny started talking. "Let's not just get offended or get angry with each other this time. If we survive during this quest, we can use this formation in the quests we go alone. Now all we have to do is draw lots between us. I'll hold five sticks. 2 short, 3 long. They will not be able to benefit from this prey, which attracts 2 short sticks.
Everyone agreed. Boden drew the first short in the draw between them. Harper drew the second short.
Viny drew the triangle with the blood of the black squirrel and ripped out the heart. Piper, Mady and Viny sat down and repeated the sentence that started the ritual three times. Nothing changed. When they repeated it the fourth time, the energies around them began to change. When they repeated it for the fifth time, a black energy coming completely from the heart enveloped their bodies. It was coming in their mouths and noses as it was coming out of their asses. Their bodies lifted up and 15 seconds later the energy was gone, and they collapsed.
Boden spoke with discontent to Harper. "We are very lucky. Almost we would have something out of our asses. Oh my God. A disgraceful spell! I will never use it!"
Harper weirdly looked at the Boden. Then she shook her head. Harper bent down and shook Mady's body. Mady opened her eyes and smiled. Then she got up from where she was. Then they awoke Viny and Piper. *(1)*
The Akons came to them and collected their spears thrown on the ground from the corner. A few of them changed their armor. Boden immediately asked "How do you feel?"
Mady excitedly said "It's like my mind is wider. I can think faster."
Viny and Piper nodded
Piper clenched her fist "It's like my muscles have gotten a little stronger"
Gilen couldn't stand by them and said "I don't want you to be upset, but shouldn't we leave this place? We have been attacked by more than 150 Heldan."
Viny headed for the exit, hailing everyone at once. "Gilen, how many black squirrels-, erm black Heldan were among the attackers?"
As the group quickly left the den, Gilen replied "We had a little fight first. In our first battle, there were about 60 Heldan and one chief Heldan, that is, the black Heldan. When we killed him and about 20 more Heldan, their number suddenly increased to 150. Five more Chefs Heldan came. First, they killed Sagu and about 12 people. Then we started running. About 10 more people died in the second collision. We were divided in two. They took over our group. Adbel and the 7 people with her fled to the other side. Four black Chiefs went in their pursuit. They will catch them and bring them here."
When the group quickly left their den, the Heldan group of 10 came against them. One of them, looking at 13 acons and 5 people in front of them, spoke irritatingly "Ohoo, they look like they have been saved. Hmm, look at those little white Akons. These should taste better."
One of the Akons released his arrow and killed Heldan, who spoke. Then the confrontation began with the attack of the Akons without saying a word to Viny. Boden and the others did not wait for any command as well. Quickly everyone attacked each other and one of the Akons was killed. They killed all the Heldans. There were 12 Akons left.
