Coming out of the river with his path slowly solidifying inside his mind, he inspected his body he had grown much taller standing at 2.7ft after being able to satisfying most of his hunger.
his body was very sturdy similar to a wild beast. his clothes were fully gone by now, he was completely naked. although he was now more beast then human, he still kept his human body and had remembered his past memories with his parents. Some type of clothing was necessary, He went and hunted a few more 6 legged brown rabbits and carefully cut their fur to make some rags to wear.
Sitting down by the river again he went through the lightning tigers memory. He recalled from the lightning tigers memories these humans would hold tournaments to compete between their forces. These tournaments were competitions between their younger human forces, each force would train and nurtured their own force to satisfied their need for resources and land. If he could join one of these forces he could use their resources to raise his power, But this was only a distant idea he didn't even know where to start looking for such a force.
He let go of such ideas for now, he focused on letting his body and energy grow. for the next few months he hunted these 6 legged rabbits, he also found a fox like creature it had deep dark fur and 4 eyes with 2 tails. It was 3 feet tall and 4 feet in length, although it was quite a large animal for him. The fox like creature was pretty slim, it's aspect relied on speed more then strength. During most of his hunts Velex relied on sneak attacking his prey, 1 move kills were preferable in the wild to not attract the attention of other creatures or beast.
6 more months had passed he had now reached the age of 2, yet his body was 3.2ft tall his arms weren't too thick but they were stronger then ever. As he had explored the area around the outside of the forest he had found a small village, but had decided to not interact with them un till he was sure he could protect him self from any bad human adult. Although he was sure regular humans posed him no threat who could say, what could happen. He still had many years worth of growth in front of him, he wasn't worried.
This time 1 year passed as Velex spent his time inside the forest , on this day he was sitting inside a small cave which he had made his home. he was 3 years old now, yet he stood at 3.7ft tall. At this moment he had his eye's closed their was a golden blue light the circled around his body, it swayed back and forth as if being manipulated by some force.
A few moments later Velex opened his eyes, excitement could be seen in his red eyes with a tinge of power.
"Finally, i can control some of my energy. Even if its a small amount that would most likely result in small burns, this is a step forward"
Once he could control this energy to a certain extent he would be ready to visit the human village, he had no idea of the world outside the forest or the beast forest. he knew if he wanted to become stronger just time wasn't enough, if he could use his human side to strength himself he would be able to take large strides on his road to power.
1 more year passed, at this moment their was a human staring down a large creature. the creature was 8ft tall and 12ft in length it looked like a wolf, its fur was dark grey besides its 3 tails and size it didn't look much different from a regular wolf. At this moment the human made the first move it rushed fast towards the large wolf, the wolf didn't hesitate it beared its fangs and jump forwards as well. Yet a few feet before the clashed golden blue light came from under the human, he made a side step dodging the wolf frontal assault. Then quickly the human pushed both of its hands forward penetrating the wolf skull with its fingers. the wolf could only let out a small whimper as it lost all signs of life.
Of course this human was non other then young Velex, he was 4 years old now he stood at 4.2ft tall. His silver haired reached all the way below his back, the wolf he had killed couldn't be considered strong it was only the beginning of the food chain for beast. but too him it was good enough to help make his body stronger if only a little. recently after his body had developed more and his energy had risen as well. he was able to controlled small outburst of energy outside of his body, although not lethal amount he was able to use it to boost his mobility. even if it was only small pushes, he was now ready to visit the village.
In this time Velex under the cover of night had visit the village to steal clothes, he couldn't just walk in wearing beast rags its would make a poor picture for the villagers and they would become wary of him paired with his deep red eyes and loose silver hair and long sharp nails.
As for shoes he had to improvise the shoes from the village could not hide his nails. Velex took his meal back to his cave, he would go to the village tomorrow. he carefully cut the pelt of the beast, although he was young he was tall and strong. He hoped selling the fresh wolf beast pelt would make any unsavory regular humans let him be. seeing that his strength wasn't weak even if he was alone.
he was set on collecting info about his surroundings, soon this forest wouldn't be able to benefit him much. The same as any other night Velex sat down and circulated the energy around him, pushing his control over it as much as he could. It wasn't un till late in the night that he went to sleep to be ready for tomorrow.
He woke up before the sun came up, he fixed up the few items he had in his caved. he then put on the clothes he had taken from the village, they were some leather pant with cloth and a brown shirt and on top of all a grey rob. sadly his rob did not cover his feet or at least he didn't try to do so. he had used pelts from the wild animals with a pair of shoes from the village for shoes. When he was ready he grabbed the wolf beast pelt and headed towards the village.
By now the sun was rising in the sky, he could see some people on the dirt road leaving the village and goin in. they were mainly adults, sum older they had brown hair and sum black hair with slightly tired expressions . Yet they moved happily about their day ready to begin their work. Although their clothes weren't at all much different from Velex they shot odd glances at him , whether it was the long silver hair his red eyes or the big wolf pelt on his shoulder he was a very strange visitor for sure.
At this point a villager that was roughly 5ft tall with leather pants and shirt, he had black short hair he looked like a middle age man but his eyes had a certain amount of vigilance about them.
came up to Velex and spoke "Good day young man, your an odd one what brings you to maken village?"
"maken village?" Velex responded
