It was about morning time.
The ground clock Alex made from a stone shape of an axe's blade told him it was 6 AM.
*Cuckoooo*
The hens started to wake up the Village's people one by one, it looked like it was raining in the night as the ground was soaked wet and mud was everywhere.
"Ahhggh..." Alex woke up from his once again, good slumber in this new world, He stood up and stretched his hands, he smelled the fresh air not polluted by anything and smiled in relief.
"Good morning Grandma." Alex looked back to see Old Woman standing on her cane with her eyes closed.
She opened her eyes and looked around, Grandma Bratislava smiled.
"Good morning Alex, did you sleep well?" She asked.
"Yes, i did," Alex responded and put on his clothes, he didn't even mention her way of sleeping... standing on a cane and closing her eyes, When he first saw this Alex was shocked and thought she was doing this not to take the bed away from him, but then he understood this villagepeople slept like some kind of upside down Vampires, everyone here just stood and never sat down in the night like something was wrong with their beds.
He was even confused as to why did they have beds if all of them just slept standing up.
*BsshhhhttTT*
Alex looked at the little fireplace in the hut, This hut was structurly powerful, it could host a Fireplace without burning the entire hey ceiling.
"You are making Burnt Chicken again Grandma?" Alex put his hand on his nose and said this.
"Yes, with delicious charcoal." Grandma Bratislav was moving the tree spoon in the big pot as she had a crazed smile on her and drool coming down on her.
"Hey Old Woman, what do we have for the Dinner... Oh hey, Alex." Old Man Paule Came up from the underground room and shook his hand with Alex.
"Agh... stop stop stop..." Alex said this when he felt Paule holding his hand way too tight.
"Ptiuw... You can't even beat an old man like me in an arm wrestle? What kind of man are you?" Paula smiled and punched Alex's back.
"Don't bully the kid now Old Stick, come and pour this to your throat," Bratislav said this with a spit on the ground and pulled out a wooden bowl as she put the burnt chicken on it and actual good porridge.
"Hahaha, calm down you two," Alex said as this scene reminded him of his Grandparents, This was how old people showed love, and it didn't change in this Magical World as well.
They ate a good dinner together on a table made out of stone and went outside.
Everyone was working as usual, it's just now there were lots of muddy feet going in and out of the village.
"Oh hey Alex, can you help me with this?" Admetos asked Alex, Admetos was a tall man with darker skin and a tanned body, he was wearing leather clothes and was pulling a cart filled with fruit.
"Of course," Alex answered he was familiar with most of the folks in the forest, and he had a good understanding of where they stood and came from, the only thing he didn't know was if they were actual Humans or not.
*Clop* *Clop* *Clop*
"Thank you, it's been hard these days, i have heard there was a centaur going around killing people from the Absoram Tribe, We should be careful when going out... anyway thank you for helping me, Alex. May the luck of Hermes be with you," Admentos said this and pulled the leash on the donkey as he went out of the village.
Alex looked in front of him to see a big Wooden gate with a few watchtowers next to each other and an enormous Gate made all from the wood.
He sighed and went back to the shack.
Before that tho he saw a few kids coming toward him.
"Hey brother Alex, can you play now? Please???!!" There were many of them asking exactly this to Alex.
Alex smiled, a few days back he made a ball created from crushed leaves and vines and introduced primitive football to them, after that they pestered him the moment they woke up to play with them.
"Not now kids, go play with each other, i mean how can you guys be the Champions and defeat World Cup if you are slacking off like this," Alex said.
"YESS!!! Let's go, guys, we will become strong to defeat the Tyrannical King And claim the Throne for ourselves..." The kids looked like they were in all rage mode as they ran away to the Stadium they made for themselves.
"Thank you, Alex, they made my head hurt with how much they were yelling." A young girl came towards Alex.
She was Rose, someone Alex met when he was injured and needed to get the water from the well, Her appearance was quite weird, Alex didn't know why but every time he saw her he felt like he was meeting her for the first time.
Her village vowen and fiery red dress could be said to attract attention but everyone was used to it as it looked like for Alex.
"No problem Rose, I was just doing my job as a freeloader." Alex smiled and scratched his head.
"Nonsense, you are not a freeloader, the thing you gave us... What was the name of it again... Uhmmm..." Rose put her hand on her rosy lips.
"It's called shoes." Alex reminded her.
"Yes shoes, it made the Life of the Hunters so much easier, everyone here is thankful to you," Rose said this with a precious smile.
"I see... alright then, i will go back to Grandma, i think she told me that she needed to skin a Boar later," Alex said and escaped.
Rose gave him weird vibes he didn't want to be associated with.
Rose looked at Alex as he was running towards the Shack and smiled, and for a second little red hue surrounded her eyes.
End Of Chapter.
