"Lak are you alright?are you hurt anywhere" A worried voice from a woman in her mid thirties, looks like a European, blonde hair,blue eyes,white skin, there also have a traces of her beauty but she was malnourished. She is wearing brown animal fur.
"I'm fine mom, you know that I'm strong right don't worry, it's just a small wound in my head nothing serious" Cheerfully said but he was lying he feels like his head was broken and he feel the sting like pain in his head.
*Lak is also feel confused about the random memories he have after waking up, he also feels like become more aware of the situation of his tribe.
"Lak thanks God that you are fine, I thought you are already dead after the Giant Mammoth rush at you, I'm sorry because of me you need to put yourself in danger and hunt wild beast" Cying while hugging his 15 year old injured son.
- Lak is a 15 year old boy from kalzsa tribe, one of the weakest primitive tribe in this area with the population of 76 people. 6 kids, 40 young adult ages from 15-30 and 30 ages 31-70 main livelihood is hunting.
- This tribe is not yet capable of farming and conventional fishing they also all living in 1 cave, building homes is not a thing yet on this world.
*This world is in a stone age era for over thousands of years and the biggest culprit is magic, people in this world is capable of using magic that's why they never invent something.
This is a harsh world even a common fever kills you, magic is incapable of healing disease.
there's have dragons/dinosaur everywhere even the herbivore type is ferocious enough for humans to avoid them.
Most of the neighboring tribes are friendly terms at kalzsa except for the kiro tribe who kidnapped women and slaving men to work for them. Most of the tribes are afraid of them because of their numbers over 700 people.
" Lak I know you are feel pressured because of your father but don't push yourself too hard ok, just rest until that wound in you're head healed understand?" Sera said, worried for his son's life , because he know lak was pressured because his husband Ikov was died a month ago in a war against Kiro tribe.
"Yes mother, I will rest up and from now on I will do what I can as tribe chieftain, I will use my brain from today onwards" While smiling to his mom, reassuring everything will be alright.
He lie down and close his eyes to rest, while his mother is wiping his wounds in his body, he was doing his best not to show anysign of pain to make his mom not worry about him.
After cleaning his wound his mom bring a big piece of roasted mammoth meat, "Son eat all of this okay? We hunt a big one this prey that we hunt will last until next 4 days, because it will go bad sooner or later."
While eating the roasted meat an old woman a healer, sit beside his bed and started healing him,
Lak try to ask old woman "who are you? " But his voice does not come, a calming light came from old womans hand, his wounds is not hurting any more and it slowly heal his wounds, after a minute of continues healing the old woman smile at him " be a good person ok? Think it as a gift and he leave a small pouch made out of tree skin fibers into the stone chair, and started walking out of the cave.
Lak take a look at the small pouch, inside of it was variety of small seeds. He was really confused what happened because he knew knew everyone I'm this tribe, and the only one who posses Healing Magic is Darv.
But Darv is currently in a vegetable state due to his injuries from tribe war against Kiro tribe.
*Lak quickly grab the pouch and slowly stand up, He find a place where he can hide this pouch, he look at the weaponry he saw a stone knife he put the stone knife in his waist and equip it. He hide the seeds in the weaponry this is the best place to hide this seeds, because water can't enter this part of cave and no one can access chieftain weaponry beside his mom, Because the new tribe chieftain was him after his father died.
He quickly got out of his room ( his room was dug up part of the Cave) he walk towards the hunters who dismantling the meat.
He was greeted by Zeke, Zeke is older than him by two years , He was around 6 feet tall leaned and look like a mixed of South East Asian and European, if he was just in earth he would be a famous idol or model.
" Hey lak! I'm happy you are still alive, I thought you are goner, after this mammoth beast charge at you, but you not only survive you also manage to take down this beast!" With amazement in his voice.
"That was very impressive Lak, if you're father was just here, I know he would very proud of you " Say's by his uncle Lou with a cheerfully voice, to lift up Lak's confidence.
-Lou is in his 30's but he looks like a professional athlete masculine physique, he was one of the strongest hunter in their tribe second from his father.
"Ohh! Lak im glad you are fine, eat until your fill we have to finish this meat before it become bad," Leah said while handing over another roasted meat in a skwer,
-Leah is a beauty even in her thirties, she have a black hair and brown eyes. She was a bit malnourished but she still looked good.
*the reason why most of them was malnourished due to the fact that food is scarce scsrced in beast glades and they can only hunt a small mammoth after a week of preparation.
And even after they successfully hunt, the meat would go bad after 3-5 days.
He suddenly remember his past life how people on earth preserve their food.
"Thanks aunt leah! But I think I found another way for us to consume this meat if my idea works"
He was excited because he knew it would work and he will be able to improve the food problem of their tribe.
Lak stand up, and give his first command after a month of taking over the role of being a tribe chieftain, "! Attention!! gather everyone at the cave entrance and we will have something to talk.
*People are very confused for sudden summon, but they still decided to follow his commands because in their tribe chieftain is some one who have biggest authority.
-after thirty minutes everyone was gathered in the main entrance except for some hunter that was injured from the recent war and hunting.
*Lak stand tall, and walk into the platform of tribe cheif, everyone was silent for a moment.
Everyone was amaze because they knew lak is a shy and coward kid until recently.
"Lak? What are you doing, I said you have to rest right? " Worried voice from his mother.
"Don't worry mom! I'm fine, ok is everyone gathered here? " Lak knew that in order for his tribe to follow him, he need to act strong,
*Everyone nods.
"Good! I want everyone to cooperate with me, I will improve our living condition but in order to do that we have to work harder. " With a loud and strong masculine voice.
*marriageable woman are looking at him with admiration, they think lak become stronger after the first hunt.
In this tribe everyone is goodlooking, woman chooses their partner based of masculinity, means if their man was strong enough to protect and provide for them.
"Yes that's a good thing Lak, but what idea you have? That can improve our living condition, may we know what is this idea of yours! " Ask by the old weapon craftsman darvus father of Darv the healerhealer.
" Yes certainly, first even woman will be able to participate it, because we lack numbers to complete this task, I have found a way to preserve meat. And we can do it right away.
* every one was shocked, because if lak was able to do it their everyday lives will be really imimproved.
"I'm also planning, for all of us to move out from this cave"
Everyone was confused Becaused they think lak was out of his mind and bull shitting because out side of this cave was full of giant monsters,
Old man darvus raised his hand to make a question.
"Yes, Mr darvus what is your question? "
"I don't want to be rude at you Lak, but i know you are aware that we already tried it before, 20 years ago! Before you were born,
The shelter that he made from wood and thatch was overwhelmed by the monsters, I don't think we would be able to survive outside of this cave" In a loud voice because he is thinking that Lak's plan was terrible.
" Yes certainly, wood and thatch is not enough to stop those monster how about these. " Lak grab a stone as big as his fist, and bring it to darvus.
"What does it mean Lak? Why did you give me a stone? " In a very confused tone because he did not get what Lak means.
"Ahh yes, what I mean is we will create a shelter outside using stones . To protect against those monsters. "
Everyone was confused but Lak said it in a very confident tone, like he already know what to do in order to complete this project.
"Mr Darvus, give all woman a stone knife ages 15 above they need it" In a commanding tone.
Darvus was shocked from what Lak said, his dream is to live outside of this cave. But it was shattered 20 years ago, but now a new door was opened for him, he knew that Lak was serious from what he said.
* darvus quickly ordered his sons to get all of the daggers they have that made out of bone and stone, to give it to the woman in their tribe, without the slightest hesitation.
"Listen , all of men here quickly gather firewood as much as you can until the sun downs, quickly go"
Every male go outside to follow his orders
" Every woman age 15 above follow me " Lak bring woman into the mammoth that they hunt.
"Ok everyone look! look what I'm doing and do it after me "
He get his knife and slice the meat into thin slices, everyone was looking carefully because this is the first task women have inside their tribe,
Women started to slice the mammoth meat and also they remove the meat from the bone, Lak also command them to carefully remove the skin from the meat.
They are very passionate at the tasked given to them by the 15 year old tribal cheif.
Woman's eyes was filled with motivation, because at the first time they have something to do except sleeping and eating because they cant go outside because it was very dangerous.
It was almost night time males gathered enough firewood, lak welcomed them in the entranced of the cave and command them to rest and leave everything to him and Mr Darvus.
Mr darvus ask lak what he can do to help him"yes we have a lot firewood it was enough for month of consumption, and now what we will do with this huge amount? "
Lak carefull explained his plan to the old craftsman, and draw his plan into the ground, and they started to create the table made out of the twigs that will be used to smoked the meat and preserve it.
They created two of this table and rest after.
