yawn, it's been a month since I joined the pack, not much happened after the panther attack
during this month I basically just focused on staying discreet and observing everyone, during this time my certainty about this from millions of years in the earth's past came to fruition, the stars, some animals that I saw that passed near the herd, and the fruits that I eat they are similar to mango, although the flavor is far from good, they must belong to the Anacardiaceae family, in addition to being in a small forest that must be about two kilometers long, surrounded by a savannah in Africa combined with a bunch of Chimpanzee-like monkeys make me believe that. and if my estimate was correct, I became an Australopithecus africanus.
During this month I wasn't just observing, but also planning what to do, I don't know if I'll come back or if something will happen, but I won't, I'm waiting, thinking about what I started to plan my future, thinking about that, I live in a world where no modern civilization can be good, and with my knowledge I can advance much better than everyone here.
With that in mind, I decided to leave a little further away from the tree. I noticed that some australopithecus that were a little bigger than me were expelled or moved to the lower part, which makes me a little apprehensive, I'm probably just considered a young person who doesn't pose any threats, but so Once I reach the age of majority for them I will be expelled or become one of the gang's base.
So I decided to go ahead and create something to protect myself from all the things I can create better now, it would be a spear and a dagger.
Spears were the first masterpiece created by human hands, after humans discovered chipped stone, they used it to sharpen wooden stakes to make spears, but the spear I want to create will be even better, it will be a short spear with a tip of stone and the dagger will be a stone that I will transform into a serrated dagger.
I'm going to do this a little bit away from the class the last time I tried and I walked away. My mother was a little worried, but I realized she didn't try to stop me, it must be something in their culture where they let young people learn to survive.
After moving away a little and ensuring that no one was watching, I picked up two stones that I thought were decent and started to grind them, rubbing them against each other to sharpen them. It took a while but I managed it successfully, they weren't the sharpest thing in the world, I mean I really think they were the sharpest thing in the world lol, well, but they were enough for what I wanted to do, first I took a one meter wooden stake and a little more width, it was a little bigger than me, but it won't be a problem, then I took some of the stones and some vines, I hit the chipped stone on the stake and used the vines to secure it, then I took the stone and used a another normal stone to shape and serrate the cutting part I also used a vine to create a place where I can hold the dagger more firmly.
Then I decided to create something for myself to help carry the spear and the dagger so that I wouldn't have to carry it in my hand, so I used the vines to create something like a belt for the dagger and I used one to carry the spear on my back, I did that it was tight enough to not fall out but not tight enough for me to remove without any difficulty
