He stopped just before the edge of the tribe as he turned around and noticed that when he came back it would be the final time as a deep and cold voice made an announcement.
"Wait for me Measkyle, as I have a surprise for when I come back! It'll be a surprise not only for you but for everyone in the tribe. Since you've seen me as a curse I'll make sure I'll be remembered as one."
Then he placed his left foot in front of his right foot at a slight angle, raised both hands to the side as he bowed slightly. As an evil and sinister smile formed on his face.
Polemos straightened himself as he held his evil and sinister smile as a slow and deep laugh echoed in his throat as he turned around and walked towards his camp. His smile returned to normal when his back faced the tribe as he was already making plans for his hunt.
'Huh, I'm hunting the most dangerous animal. Apparently this should be fun but I doubt it will be. Ashern will be too shaken to do anything or fight back; it seemed Rose scared his mind somehow. It's weird the insect pit was his favorite form of torture but somehow he's terrified of Rose weird. Then there's the craven prick, Alyan the dumbass will run the moment he sees me or Rose.'
Polemos took a deep breath as he looked towards the setting sky.
"I guess he no longer needs his knees then if he likes to run so much."
Polemos said as a small smile formed on his face when he switched his thoughts on what type of buffet he should make for Rose when he gets back to camp.
Before he could even start the process he saw a huge dust cloud in the distance as the sand was starting to tremble. His smile rose higher as his face relaxed when he saw the dust cloud and felt the sand tremble.
He used his own movement technique as he rushed towards his partner, Rose as he shouted.
"Rose, sorry for taking so long!"
When Rose heard Polemos shout out to her she let out a very happy and long hiss as her speed increased which surprised Polemos as it seemed that she had gotten stronger.
'She's gotten stronger? Just what the hell did she kill, was it from the water source? Shit, I was camped near something that held Special Elite ranked beasts.' Polemos was trying to think of what she killed or fought to increase her strength as he only saw Common ranked fish as he didn't dive into the depths of the water source.
When Rose was finally close to Polemos she quickly slowed down as she circled around him as she continued to hiss in glee.
"Sssss, sssss, sssss…."
Polemos just smiled as he watched her run literal circles around him but, when he raised his hands she noticed and stopped as her head neared him and lowered. When Polemos saw Rose lower her head he shook his head but still reached out his hand and rubbed her head.
'Rose you're not a dog, you're a centipede, did I just train a beast somehow?'
He continued to rub her head till he jumped atop her head as he spoke excitedly.
"Let's head to camp Rose, I'll make a huge buffet for you when I get back." Then his devil-like smile spread across his face and continued. "Then will be off to the desert again as we got prey to hunt again." When Rose felt his excitement she hissed as she rushed back to the camp.
When they were heading back to camp Polemos felt her excitement as she started to slightly rock her head back and forth.
But when he saw something huge lying dead near their camp he understood why she was so excited as the damn thing was still in the water. Rose went around the dead fish that looked like a giant water snake with deep blue scales with gilded edges. It looked to be about 8 meters looking up and at least five times longer than Rose!
Polemos was interested in how Rose was able to kill such a creature then when she rounded its head he saw a hole the size of Rose on its underbelly. There was still a massive pool of blood as it seemed to be fresh as she killed it recently. Rose stopped and lowered her head as Polemos slid off her head, and without missing a beat walked to look at the massive snake.
"Rose this is incredible but, why does it seem like you were eaten. Did you use your acid to burn your way out, I'm impressed. Plus you're very lucky as it's still fresh, it seems I should be able to get something off it." Then he looked at the still shiny and clean scales on the snake's skin, and breathed in deep. "That's gonna be fun to try and skin."
Then Polemos looked at his dried and bloodied hands as he headed towards the water source to clean himself.
He quickly cleaned himself and put on a pair of black harem pants and walked to his tent to get his axe and dagger as he would need them to try and skin the snake. And also barbecue some snake meat for the buffet.
Before he started he made a massive fire as the sun was about to fall completely and bring the start of the warm nights.Polemos was done skinning and collected what he could for the meat and skin all the way until the second moon was about to join the first moon in the beautiful silvery night sky.
Polemos had already started grilling and barbecuing the snake meat earlier as he was still cooking as he promised Rose a buffet.
He was sitting atop her head as he was reading the new journal Carl gave him. He was only a quarter of the way in as he was familiar with everything so far, as he remembered everything up to what he read. But when he noticed that more than half of the journal was filled with what happened he frowned.
"Just what the hell happened, Rose as according to what Carl wrote in the beginning he said that it was normally how the Blood of the Beast Array reacts but then things went in a way he's never heard of. But everything is the same as I remember what did he…."
Polemos lost his wording as he just read over the part where it seemed like his mind snapped and he went limp!
'I don't remember this, just what the hell happened!!'
Polemos's eyes went wide as he tried to focus on what Carl wrote next but before he could start he smelt something slightly starting to burn as he jumped off Rose's head and took off the grilled and barbecued snake meat. He gave four massive kebabs to Rose and he grabbed his own sitting down by the fire as he took a huge bite from his grilled kebab.
"It's good but it could be better. Now what the hell happened, as I don't remember going limp at all. The mind snapping comment must be when Death called to me and me going limp must be when I entered my own mind." Polemos opened the journal again as he took another bite off his kebab and continued to read the journal with interest.
Polemos wasn't able to stop reading the journal until both moons were high in the silvery night sky. When he stopped reading the journal his brows were deeply furrowed as he stared at the burning coals of the fire.
'I have too many questions and no answers.' Polemos loosened his brows as he fell backwards with his arms spread apart. He looked to the beautiful silvery sky as he spoke aloud.
"Just who the hell was I reincarnated into? Who is Polemos really, I mean who am I really." Then he smiled as he laughed to himself. "I don't need to worry about all that I know who I am. I'm The Cursed Devil Polemos the Mad One. No, that's too long. I'll only use that when it's needed. Besides Polemos the Mad One rolls off the tongue quite well I think."
Then he looked towards his partner Rose who was soundly asleep as she definitely ate her fill of all the snake meat she could eat. Then he looked to the twin moons as he saw that they were still high in the night sky as he stood and patted himself off.
"Still if I was left in a damn tribe that hated a child because of their eye color then my parents, if they are even alive, they never cared for their child then. Oh well such is life but, if I find them then a Devil I shall be. I should try to get some sleep as I'll need to be ready for when the sun comes up as I'll be a little busy."
Polemos stretched as he headed towards his tent as even though he said he needed some sleep he felt full of energy. When he entered his tent he didn't fall asleep as he made a solid slab of sand to meditate on to focus and increase his strength.
'It, won't be long Ashern, Mesakyle, and finally you Alyan.'
Polemos had a devil-like smile on his face before he focused on his meditation so he would be prepared to start the hunt.
