Note : ( Hey readers a small note let's make the talk of the beast from this * to "it gets confusing while writing )
In the forest, where large trees whispered secrets of ages past and shadows danced among the undergrowth. Forgotten by time and shrouded in mystery, it awaited discovery by those brave enough to seek its hidden truths.
Several magical creature dwellings were located in this area where a young human child was gazing intently at small bears standing nearby.
" mama human food "
They started running in the direction of the baby. Suddenly, a large shadow landed in front of them with a thud, making them stop in their path. It was the mother bear's paw that stopped the children from getting near the baby, as they might eat him.
" listen carefully all four of you no one will eat him no not even touching "She paused, then continued her lecture and introduced the baby to them.
" He will be living with us from now so he is your friend "
Being a beast child in instinct, they surely have an appetite for meat. But they were not older; they were the same age as the boy. Being a magical beast gives many advantages, as they are born in nature and nature favors them. Mana is usually wild and cannot be taken in its pure form, but the animal has cores that directly convert the wild mana into a warm sensation.
Magic creatures typically reside deep within the forest, avoiding humans due to their selfish nature.
Beasts or magical beasts have parts that are sold at very high prices, with the core being one of the rare materials used in various activities.
When a human encounters a magical beast, they often attempt to hunt it alone. If unsuccessful, they may enlist a group by offering rewards, and together they kill the beast.
This forest is home to magical beasts. Unfortunately, they destroy most of the forest. Humans inhabit the outer edges, where beast hunters hunt and eat the beasts.
Human activities have endangered magical beasts, leading them to avoid or even attack humans. Hunting practices have resulted in situations where groups of beasts attack and annihilate entire villages, towns, and even cities, without any chance for remorse.
" ya ee yaaa "
Four young bears surrounded the human baby, who was enjoying the attention he was getting from them. He kicked in all directions, and suddenly, a young bear got hit in the face. He came back angrily to seek revenge and kicked the leg that had kicked him. Before he could kick the leg again, it kicked him in the nose, which made him even angrier. Everyone present started laughing.
"When was the time I saw my family this happy " She was delighted seeing all playing around turn she turned around and was about to leave but then suddenly
" Growl" Four of the bear's stomachs together made a sound indicating they were all hungry but then again a small sound came as if copying the sound from the baby's stomach
" growl"
all four bears leaving behind their new family member ran toward their mother and with puppy eyes commented
" manma food "
With a small smile on her face, she sighed and sat on her back.
" come everyone it's milk time "All ran to her and started drinking
When a magical beast gives birth to its offspring, the newborns are provided with milk until they reach 4 years of age. The milk strengthens their core, preparing them for evolution and enabling them to handle mana more effectively.
The baby who was hungry and looked all four ran toward mother bear and decided to follow working hard to make himself sit he sprang into action crawling he reached the bear mother's face and hugged it.
" You are also hungry, you can also drink "
He freed her head and moved towards where all the others were present. Copying their actions, he started drinking slowly, putting his hand on her stomach. Eventually, he fell asleep in the embrace of his new family.
It was already night sky was blue and two moons were shining providing new rays of hope in the forest family of five bears was sleeping peacefully. But one thing that was making it unable to comprehend was a small human baby was among them.
Inside the cave where Emily and Ragnarok disappeared a group of people appeared a voice rang
" Where have they gone? Did the earth swallow them, or did they vanish into the sky? Damn it! " with a frustrated face he hit the ground
" look for them find them, go fuck !!! "
"Boss according to the last their mana signature was here " A member of the commented while looking at a device.
another voice suddenly rang alerting all
