Chapter 21 - Food secured

Igris went closer to inspect what he has just seen, cleaning

his eyes to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks in him , and it wasn't

because of hunger or lights, he has just enough strength to move around and the

sun was setting, he just didn't notice them before because that was something

so unexpected, something he wouldn't have thought of in his wildest

imagination.

Looking through, he picked up 3 elephants which were the

size of racoons and threw them into where the crocodile meet was kept , and he

kept moving, he didn't have time to be amazed, after walking for awhile , he got

to the end of the path made my the ants.

It was in front of a really big cave ,it was dark , beside

this cave was a smaller one ..it could fit at most two humans , and it was a

little above Igris height.

"This would do , I'll spend the night here " igris said ,

 Besides he heard the

flow of a river just beside him , after he dropped everything he was carrying

inside the cave , he assumed this place was the safest because this is probably

where the ants live , considering they are the apex predator of this parts , no

animal or insect would dare come around this part .

He opened his hurriedly made pouch that he made from his

robe, removed the two elephants, and the crocodile meat , it was as Igris sat

down he realized he had his sword all these while , but what could that do for

him , all the opponents he faced so far where not ones he could defeat with

just swords, all he has been doing so far was trying not to die.

He slit the throat of both elephants, the proceeded to find

wood to make fire , finding wood in a place where just like the animals even

plants size are out of proportion, the trees he thought he had been seeing were

nothing but tall grasses , and forest trees that normally towers to the sky are

below the human shoulder

Plus the ants uprooted trees and used them  he didn't no what for yet , but dry wood

wasn't hard to find .

After arranging dry leaves and tree bark together, he tried

sticking his sword on the rock , just close enough to the sparks created by the

two objects hitting each other would create a flame , after multiple trials ,

he got what he wanted , he arranged everything together, putting the dried wood

over the just made fire , seeing the fire burn , made igris really happy, the

warmth from the fire , the fact je actually survived this long without any help

and the fact that he has secured food to eat .

"Ahh …the meat , while the fire was burning, Igris followed

the sound of the rushing water to a fast flowing river, where he proceeded to

wash all the meat he was carrying with him , plus he cleaned up his robe ,

He got back to his cave , placed the meat on really big

leaves he lay in the ground and started cutting it into edible sized when

pierced his sword through each one and placed them over the fire, from time to

time , he kept turning the meat , and he noticed something surprising, the

crocodile meat was taking longer to roast than the elephant meat.

Upon realizing this , he took down the half ready crock meat

and left only the elephants meat there , after multiple turning.

" I think it should be ready" igris said touching the meat

" ouch " he said , quickly withdrawing his hand after the

hot meat burnt him , he then removed the meat from the swords and placed it on

the leaves, replacing it with the crocodile's , he planned to leave this all night

.

"now , moment of truth , I wonder how this would taste "

Igris whisperer

Taking a deep bite from the meat , he began chewing, his

eyes lit up , then he took another and another , there wasn't any salt in the

meat because of his circumstances, but he finally had food food to eat, rich in

proteins, just like that tears started rolling down his eyes ,

"look , I'm crying " igris wiping his tears

"I never knew I was going to live this long , and alone

nevertheless, but look at me , I have encountered three life threatening

situations and survived , if that's not impressive, what is? " Igis said wiping

his eyes .

He finished what he was eating , went to the river to drink

water , and decided to get a little shut eyes , he knew he had to find a way

back if that was possible, he wondered where the others where and if they were

ok , despite the sounds of creatures noises in a distance, he managed to sleep.
