Eric: all of that for nothing. all those askals one day I will hunt you.

He got up and he stretch his muscles and he starts to collect woods for the fire camp. He examined the hen and he seperate the edible parts in the hen. He needs a food right now before going back in the town. He starts a fire and he cooked the hen parts that are edible. He looked at the askal because he wanted to carry the askals and sell it to the town. 

Eric thought for a moment and questioned his wounds that are already healing in a faster rate and what happened to the askals. Before he's conscious slipped away he saw the pack of askals ready to feast his body.

Eric: I guessed I was lucky this time.

After his meal he picked up his bone knife and departed immediately because it is dangerous in the forest. He carry the askal even it was bigger than him. He notice that his strength has increased and his mental state became calmer. He was smiling and feeling clueless about what happened to him, luckily nothing happened during the journey back in town.

He got immediately and started to work he skinned the askals and seperate its meat. After the work he rest and sleep because he needs to sell it to the market tomorrow morning.

He woke up early and started to prepare his breakfast. He takes the hidden bread in the drawer and he start to eat it and a warm water to quench his thirst. After that he pack up his bone knife and the things he need to sell. He push the door open and he went outside. The neighbor saw and greets him.

Neighbor: Good Morning Eric, I heard you had a good hunt yesterday.
