Chapter 12 - i want to learn (2)

Nexus momentary halted and waited for his father Conversation to end as he the leader of the Hunter group, Nexa, a rather muscular man sporting a thick goatee.

laying his hands on his shoulder, he spoke, "Nexa, With your spearmanship skills, i am confident that this days Hunt will be successful."

Nexa replied, "i thank the chief for the compliment, i will assure a good hunt for today so rest easy."

Satisfied with his answer his father he turned his attention to the hunters of the group.

He looked at Igor, the man responsible for scouting.

"Igor make sure to Carry a few sand bags to throw at any dangerous beast you guy's might encounter"

Shaking the three leather bags full of sand in his waist, igor gave an assuring smile, "Don't worry chief it's already been prepared."

Seeing that the bags were already prepared, his father moved on to another hunter, Nefil, Responsible for picking herbs on dangerous areas that would otherwise too dangerous for the women to scavenge.

"The Elders have requested for more herbs so go get some, take as much as you can before Winter arrives and be sure to Carry lots Diso herbs for us to use as well."

"Don't worry chief I'll be sure to bring plenty of herbs, as for for Diso herbs i was already planning on getting some so rest assure I'll bring lots"

"Good", with his men ready, his father wished them luck and They quickly started walking out of tent After saying their goodbyes and headed for the forest to begin Their hunt.

Nexus, who was silently waiting all this time immediately jump to his father his side after the Hunters left.

"Well if it isn't my son the little Chief himself." he jokingly remarked.

He added, "Is there something you need Gahr?", curious to why his son came to meet him.

Wasting no time, Nexus immediately told him his reason for coming, "father i want to learn how to hunt!"

"(⊙⁠෴⁠⊙)Hmm?" His fathers smile quickly faded and replace by surprised, from to the unexpected request of nexus.

He originally thought that he was just gonna ask for some berries like his elder brother.

He pondered if the hunt from yesterday's affected him that much?.

Setting aside his curiosity he immediately rejected his sons request,

With a serious expression he bluntly replied, "I'm afraid you're too young to practice the way of hunting Gahr."

He added, "Although you are blessed and have a great future ahead of you, it is simply too early for that, how about i give you some Drins instead."

"But Father I am already strong enough."

Nexus quickly retorted, knowing full well this would happen, his father would undoubtedly reject his request.

After all he was just a child that is not even close to reaching the required age to start training, so he already planned to show his true strength to impress his father.

"Oh really?" His father ask with interest.

With enthusiasm nexus quickly replied with and affirmative yes as he nodded his head.

"i can prove it!"

His father couldn't help but laugh at the words coming from his son.

Opening his palm wide open, he gestured for Nexus to punch it, with a smile he teasingly said.

"Let me see if the little Chief is speaking the truth"

Seeing the opportunity to prove his strength, Nexus readied his fist for a punch, adjusting his posture he aimed to give it his all.

With a thud his fist landed on his fathers Palm, (⊙⁠෴⁠⊙)!?.

Yet again his father was surprised after the punch landed, it wasn't that strong but as the chief responsible for training the warriors this....

"This is not the strength of a five year old" he exclaimed, surprised present in his voice.

"How can he have such strength" he thought

"This must be the work of his blessing thats the only explain."

At first He Had his doubts but after seeing it for himself, he was more certain that it is the case for his sons abnormal strength.

It didn't take that long for his father come up with such conclusion as expected by Nexus

His father was more than happy for such thing as he ecstatically yelled praises inside the tent.

"This is fantastic hahaha, my son is destined for greatness ghahaha, i thank the Messi's!"

Seeing his fathers cheerful look nexus knew that he already set for the training,

"How is it father?, Am i worthy now worthy to seek the way of hunting" he asked not hiding the grin on his face.

His father of course said yes immediately as his son had already surpassed his expectations.

Looking at the smiling child before him, he can only imagine how much of a Beast his son will become in the future.

He quickly carried his son and headed for to the Cave to announce his sons strength.

Noon soon came and the hunters arrived home with their prey.

The Hunt plentiful as lorh, his Father finally announced the news of his strength after everyone has gathered.

His voice was loud and clear as he spoke to the people gathered before him, "Everyone!, as you all know my son Gahr, who has been blessed by the mighty Messi's signified our days of prosperity."

The people cheered as his speech continued excited for what's to come in the future.

Continuing his speech his father spoke once again, "but that is not all, for he is destined to Rule this land, not just as the blessed one but as a warrior capable of protecting our land"

He added, "i am sure many of you have heard the battle our elders fought for, although they fought valiantly end though the battle was still loss and our land was taken by the northern people, leaving us to be scattered with no place to go, even after we have already settled for 2 generations, i am sure you all still remembered the loss we have faced."

"All of you might have given up on revenge but i have hope that someday we will take back our land and claim whats ours, with my son as the lead in taking it all back, for he is destined to lead us back to our land!"

His speech ended then and there and the people was silent.

Although the notion of reclaiming the land they once have, it was simply impossible as their enemy was the northern strongmen capable of using unknown weapons that shoots pointy sticks at blistering speed.

They were simply out numbered and out gun, if they ever choose to face them once again, defeat is undeniable.

Seeing the uncertainty of the people around him, lorh began to speak to once more.

"Everyone, I understand your concerns and i too have lost the passion for revenge and reclaiming the homeland but now it has come back for my son has shown unbelievable strength and wisdom at his age."

"I'm sure you know of this he thought us method to preserve fire using the blood of trees keeping heat to last winter, thought us herbs to help recover and recently shown strength beyond those of his age, all this derived at the age of Five, think of what he can do when he reaches my age?."

He added, his his voice like a fire, heating up the place resonated across the crowd.

"I'm sure all of you already understand that our current territory cannot sustain us any longer and we need to expand to ensure our future, are you just gonna wait for our end!?, when our descendants starve and killed by the ruthless northmen!"

His words was like a flame igniting the heart of the people, inspired by the words of their leader, they shouted in unison the name of the Tribe, "glory to the Earth Tribe!"

Lorh quickly joined the crowd and shouted the name of their tribe like the others, he looked at Nexus who was also cheering them on.

With a gentle voice he spoke, "my son, i knew from the moment you were born that you are bound for greater things and now i see that it has started and i will help ensure that happens"

Kissing the forehead of his son before ending his words, lorh raised him high up for the people to see as they cheered.

Food prepared before hand was placed on the caves center, amd the people ate happily.

Elders burned herbs spreading the smoke throughout the cave, creating cheerful atmosphere full of laughter as they dance in celebration.

A feast was held that night as the people celebrated the soon to be legend, drums were heard once again and the voices sung a celebratory melody.
