[In The Chapter Before]
...
While he was in great fear the thing's shadow fell on the boy as it moved out with unimaginable speed that made the thing look blurry .
The boy waited for a while and when he felt like there was no danger anymore he hastily moved outside ignoring the half skinned wolf corpse .
He looked around saw no monster nor there was a change you would think the boy as unfortunate.
[-------]
The day went pretty normal not considering the events from before .
Boy repeated the routine , except he felt himself in danger and built every kinds of traps around the shack . He had also gathered plants from around and with some other herbs he made different kinds of monster repellers . He had also set up magical traps here and there .
It could be a better choice to spend the day without a sleep yet he went to sleep to not burden himself with sleepiness . But incase he were to be attacked he drew a few simple runes near to the place he slept , it would send the sounds that was around to the rune and he would be able to hear the danger like he was next to it .
During his sleep he didn't wake up . But he dreamed again .
He was a human this time , standing tall next to the dark figure he always saw .
He himself was shadowy too this time .
The background was full of long shadowy trees . The color of the ground too was dark yet it was felt like the color of dirt , the sky was dark too yet it felt crimson of the sunrise .
The giant dark shadow had something in its hands , it was a giant shadowy bow , looking at it's structure .
Then shadowy figure looked at the boy and pointed its hand and a finger ahead .
There stood a white giant deer with all white antlers and light red eyeballs . It was too white that it was shining , or maybe it was shining originally and not because it was white . It's shine was like the Moon's .
Then the tall shadow told with its eeire voice :
"Hunt~~ it in three days , if not you will die~ . "
"Pelt~~ it in seven days , skin it well ; if not you will die ~."
"Eat~~ it well , share it well ~."
"Respect~~ it well , drink the red a bit and honor its soul~~~ ."
And the shadow raised its bow towards the deer and pulled the string , breaking the eye connection with the boy .
*Whish~*
It then released the bow and *~puk~* it hit the whiter than snow deer .
Red blood trailed on the white spotless skin in a pastelic manner .
The majestic deer turned and locked eyes with the shadowy looking boy .
And he woke up .
He woke with eyes wide open , once again .
He got up , spent the morning thinking about the dreams and their cause and meaning .
He came to the conclusion that the thing he saw before was the cause of the dreams . The dreams must have been a way of communication , he thought .
The last dream surely had a meaning behind it apperant by its content , he thought .
He ate and prepared food for later use and set out to find it , the white deer .
After scouting the area he found it not too far away from the shack .
It was truly a majestic deer like in his dream . It was also as aware as of its surroundings as it was majestic . It had fled the moment it felt the boy approaching but it didn't get scared as much as a normal deer , instead of running away it was more like it left the area .
The boy pursued it yet it was already out of the vision so he returned to the shack .
He started preparing for the next day , thinking about magics to capture it , making potions to attract it and other potions for himself to run faster . He made plans about how to ambush it , he set up traps near water sources and some plants he hoped it would eat but he didn't leave it all to chance as he used the potion on the plants .
The next day he waited for the deer and it came yet all his plans ended in failure as it only smelt the plants and went away and somehow it evaded all kinds of traps he set up beforehand .
The last chance was to attack it directly so he made a motion with his wand and an arrow-like magic was fired from it yet somehow the deer evaded it with human-like intelligence , and escaped .
Having one last day the boy feared and also got angry and sweared a lot that day with burning hate .
But this fear and hate granted him one thing he didn't have and it was a new mindset , a hunter's .
That day he hunted a bit and didn't return to the shack . He packed some food he hunted before for later use and did things which was mostly insane looking .
He filled the ground with every kind of traps . From runic to castable and he even placed runes on some little stones , they would become big stone thorns the moment it was touched .
He filled the ground full of traps yet he left a pathway for the deer to come as he knew for sure that it would come back , it was instinctual .
Then he climbed ...
He climbed a tree and didn't rest , he placed a magic on every tree while he jumped from one to another . It was a trigger spell , it would trigger when the deer comes near the trees but it wouldn't be useful without a map and coordiantes so he made a makeshift map .
The map was made of the tree barks , he had crushed them and glued it with magic . In the end it was like a wooden panel , it was dark in color and unlike a paper so he made little holes to represent the trees with the trigger on . He then connected all the trees to the every hole in the map one by one .
He also introduced himself as a deer to the magic so he could see himself in the map too .
When triggered the holes would shine with blue light , it would look like led lights .
He finished preparing and decided to wait for it on a tree as he thought it would be the best place to hide .
He didn't sleep and waited patiently ,listened the sounds of animals , no rather he was listening the prey as he was the predator lurking in shadows .
He waited for hours with the map in hand and finally saw a moving dot .
The prey was in the range an it was his time to lurk in its shadow while it was unaware .
So he moved tree to tree with little sound and movement in this dense forest .
He moved like a shadow and placed himself in a good spot to hunt , he watched the deer as it evaded the traps he had laid , gracefully , yet unaware it was being lead in a path that the hunter pawed for its tragic fate .
It escaped from all the traps .
Or so it imagined and smugly lowered its head to take a bite from some plant around ,
While boy was moving closer to it on the trees with silent haste ,
and *shlick~* a noise was heard .
It was a stone that was now a thick needle that was going throught the deers mouth and its eye , while evading the brain .
Yet it was enough for the hunter as he had already launched himself to top of the prey .
He landed like lion on its back and grabbed it by its antlers .
He took out his wand that was covered with magic probably unknown to Western Lands and stabbed it to the deer's neck like it was a knife .
He purposely hit the veins with crucial importances quickly with neat but strong pushes .
The deer tried to cry with misery yet it had no time in hand anymore even to do that .
The giant white deer fell like a giant tree and hit the ground with heavy grace .
It bleed from its neck and the boy was already prepared to drain the blood but he waited until the deer stopped kicking air in its last moments .
He then made the corpse fly and transfigured the branches of a few trees around the deer's hooves and legs . He then cut the cut the head and waited for the blood to drain for a while .
He knew the danger of other creatures in the forest so he didn't waste too much time there and left as soon as possible , with the corpse and the head .
When he returned to the shack he tied the corpse to a tree and placed repeller magic around the corpse and the head as he didn't want it to be eaten by the creatures of the forest .
He then left it for a few hours to drain its blood and slept about 2 hours , it was already night .
After the little rest he restarted the work , took his wand that was more of a knife than a wand when you look at its use .
He thought for ways to skin it well and beautifully . He could use magic too yet he found joy in skinning it with hand and he had enough time too .
He took his time and skinned the once majestic deer with the artistry of a sculptor .
He within 3 days skinned it well and within the next 3 days he had butchered it and frozen the majority of the meat . He cleaned the head and placed it in the shack as a prize .
Lastly he wanted throw a celebration for himself and found some herbs , plants and mushrooms to add to the meat of the deer he was going to cook .
He also found the stones other animals would likely lick , they had salt and minerals in them . He cleaned them and grinded a bit of them .
Now it was time to celebrate .
He cooked and prepared the feast , he then sat to eat .
Then a figure entered the shack , and the boy became alert .
It was the dark figure that entered , it had things in its both hands and they were dark as well .
The boy prepared himself for the worst .
But it didn't come as the tall darkness sat with lotus position opposite of the boy .
As the dark figure placed one of the things in its hand it became colorful , it was a drink . The darkness passed it to boy .
"Eat ."
It said .
And the boy obeyed , he didn't have anything different he could do . He knew who the true hunter was in this little shack .
The darkness sit too and started eating with the boy , as the boy inspected the creature in front of him he said in his mind
'Hmm. Strange . '
The figure next to him was rather curvy ? He asked to himself . Was this thing perhaps a female , it was still hard to figure it out .
As they finished the feast the darkness looking at the skin and the skull that was of the deer's , it spoke again :
"Uhm , good job for a first timer . Yet sloppy nevertheless . So much to learn ~."
Then it jumped afoot .
The boy looked up , and SAW .
There stood no more a tall darkness , it was an incredibly long woman .
No , no ... Not a woman . There stood an apex predator , a hunter . Tall , imposing , sharp eyes , strange clothes made of skins-furs . With cold eyes there stood a "beauty and the beast" as one creature or monster . A monster in the skin of a woman .
The boy felt it , the excitement of the hunt and felt his blood boil . He had an unconscious smile on his face , thrilled .
Then the cold and sharp eyes turned to the boy .
"Get up , wolf cub . We have so much to do . Hunt awaits ."
Then it clicked .
The boy muttered the word quietly :
"Bayanay ..."
[Auth. Note : Now I too wish to write more yet I was busy with university stuff so kinda problem and starts again in 10 days - I was taking summer lessons .
Secondly you will find out about Bayanay/Baianai from wikiped'a but it is sth like a forest goddes in short . She is portrayed as cheerful but it turned out different when I wrote . And if anyone wants to know , my research resource mostly refers to Uno Harva-Altai Pantheon in this spesific example. ]
