"What, will you miss me?" I asked cheekily. "Don't worry, I just have to do something on my own. Will be back in a couple of weeks!"
"Humph. Don't come back without fresh herbs."
I chuckled and called the Union to come with me. Together, we flew toward the cave that had been my shelter until Guying fell in front of it.
When I came there, the Union immediately sniffed the air. I could hear noises from within—something was in there.
Not entirely unexpected.
I walked up to the entrance and pulled aside the fur flap that covered it.
Inside the cave, a massive black snake was guarding a clutch of a couple dozen eggs. Its head was the size of mine and rose to my height.
The snake hissed at me, showing a pair of dagger-like fangs that dripped with venom.
I grinned.
"Oh, an omelet from snake eggs. How nice. Union, kill that thing and I will give you half the eggs!"
