Looking to the sides there they were, Marci holding her sword, and Jender clutching his daggers.
"You two know how to show off, you finished the fun all by yourself," Modez joked.
They all laughed at his joke as it was a flawless battle, Jender was seen kneeling on the carcass, of one of the antelopes and collecting something from it on a jar.
Modez moved over to him to observe what was going on, reaching behind him he stood looking at the process that was going on.
"Mmmmh!, impressive how did you learn to harvest the carcass?," Modez asked while being astonished by the clean work of Jender.
"Live in the jungle for survival then you will know even the sound of each bird," Jender replied.
Jender was harvesting all the important things from the carcass, from blood, meat, skin and other useful stuff.
After he has finished with one he encased the first harvest on the skin and left for the other.
Jender was so precise that he only left bones on the ground and other inedible stuffs, after half an hour he was already finished with what he was doing and stood up, he washed up and went to the camp the others have prepared while he was harvesting.
When he reached there, he found that others where cooking, especially Dorci, and others were finishing setting up the make shift tents.
Joles was standing Infront of on big tree, he seems to be doing something on his own, Jender went there and found that, he was extracting the sap from the tree, as it has some medicinal properties.
"So what is this for," Jender asked.
"Ooooh!, this is for the Desdais flower, as alone it can be used by only one person, but when combined with the Vinelate tree sap, it can be distributed to several potions of the same quality," Joles replied.
"Okay, and where is the leader I haven't seen him after he left me harvesting the carcasses?," Jender asked.
"How does the leader like eating his food roasted or heated?," Dorci asked.
"You just cook any I don't think he is picky, as long as it is well cooked I don't think he minds," Germin replied.
As they continued cooking, Jender passed at the area and asked about Modez, Germin told him about his whereabouts, but said that he requested not to be interrupted at the moment.
Jender didn't go any further, he stayed at the area where they were cooking, he took out a powder like substance from his pouch, gave it to Dorci and asked her, to mix a little water and apply to the roasted meat.
Dorci took the powder and did what she was instructed, soon the meet turned it's color to reddish brown, they all were astonished as they did not know what that powder was.
"What is this powder!?," Marci asked while Germin and Dorci were very attentive waiting for the answer.
"That's veltox it is a mixture of different tree that facilities the cooking of meat it makes it tender and tasty too," Jender replied.
As they were speaking Joles came to them, after finishing extracting the sap from the tree, he found them looking at Jender like he was a cave man as many didn't know how to make the meat tender but this guy's says it can be made tasty too.
"What's wrong guys why are you looking at him like he is a cave man!?," Joles asked.
"This guy came and gave us a so called veltox powder, it turned the meat reddish brown, and he says it can make the meat tender and tasty!," Dorci said astonishingly.
Joles curiosity peeked, as he has studied many alchemy studies, to make different things from medicine to recipes, but he only came to know, only a few clans that can make recipes in the kingdom, as it's said to be a clans heritage it's passed down from generation to generations.
From all he studied those who make these recipes, are just regular people in those clans, but hold a great class in it, as a few can master the techniques to produce the recipes.
Modez was sitting on a log along a cliff, west from where they camped, thinking of how to lead the squad that was entrusted to him.
After an hour of contemplating, he stood up and started walking, right back to the camp while breezing the fresh air on that windy cliff.
When he reached back to the camp, he found everyone sat together at the bonfire, cooking and roasting the meat, when they saw him everyone looked at him, he greated them and sat beside Dorci, that's where there was a spot to sit.
"Sorry guys I had to be alone for that time, how are things here?," Modez asked.
"While you were away nothing much happened, as we cooked and got to know about veltox powder, and it's uses from Jender," Dorci replied.
"What is that powder you are talking about?," Modez asked.
When he asked Dorci took the knife and served an antelope leg to Modez and asked him to try it.
When Modez took a bit of the meat, he was astonished on how it tastes, and how tender it was, as there is no was it would be like that naturally, as he has cooked and roasted his best share of this kind of meat.
"So this is what that powder thing does!, the meat it's not only tender, but the taste seems different from how it should taste, this I can eat non stop," Modez said while devouring the antelope's leg.
Modez was eating like he has never eaten for ten days, when he was full, he still didn't want to stop eating the meat, as the taste was addictive.
He took out a vial and chugged it's content like water, it was naurishment potion, it helps nourishing the body, removes fatigue also helps digestion to take place faster too, after fifteen minutes, he continued eating the soup, that was made by Dorci, till he was full again.
After he finished with the eating part, he asked about the Desdais flower, what should be done to it as it was valuable, and they were supposed to share it among each other.
"That is already taken care of as we only need to wait for the moonlight to concote the potions for everyone in the squad," Joles answered.
