Turn*
"Huh? There is no one, it is my paranoia?" Goddess turned her head back to Manav who was squatting in front of her.
Manav also stood up and walked back on his way.
He only has one rule in his mind just go with flow, if there is any hint of danger turn to another direction.
"Oh how can I forget it." While walking and looking around goddess slapped her forehead.
She rubbed the ring on her finger and a cloak appeared out of thin air.
She walked in front Manav and stopped him.
Manav was confused as to why she stopped him holding a robe in her hand.
Goddess raised the robe in her hand and made the sign to wear it.
Manav was confused for a while and nodded after a few seconds.
Goddess walked near Manav and put the robe on Manav and buttoned it on the chest, so it doesn't fall.
Now Manav's whole body was draped by robe, even a person standing near Manav can't see his appearance.
Whether he is human or puppet or some other species.
Manav signaled her to follow after seeing that she has draped the robe on him.
Goddess walked step by step with Manav.
After walking like this few hours was spent and suns was over their head.
Suns, oh sorry there are three suns above them and three of them are of different sizes, making shape of triangle.
Goddess was sweaty and the clothes has attached to her body because of excess sweat pouring out of her body.
"Ugh, level 1 is always hard and on excess there is so much heat and these three suns of wasteland are famous for their highest heat in all planets, because only on this planet these suns will shine most and yield most heat here." Goddess said angrily wiping her forehead with already wet clothes.
After walking for another hour they entered a forest was not much big, but there are seen to be many large monkeys playing on towering trees.
Manav stopped after seeing them, goddess who was lost in thought bumped her head in Manav's solid back.
"Ouch hey tell me before stopping suddenly like this." Goddess yelled lightly at Manav holding her forehead.
"Huh? Those are Joker Monkeys, we have to be alert and don't attract them to think that we are special and movements are unique, they also have unique ability and that is what they think will become real but invisible for us, but only shortcoming is that they like to imitate even small actions, and higher the level they have more intelligence and more the invisible reality power they hold." Goddess muttered to herself watching the unique looking monkeys playing on the trees.
Suddenly a monkey stopped and found two persons looking at them from far away.
"Ku ku ku ka kaa kaa kaa!" Monkey screamed to his kins and ran towards Manav and goddess wa standing.
Manav stepped back quickly and was about to turn to run.
But goddess waves her hands in front of his face signalling to not run.
In few seconds monkeys reached near Manav and goddess and surrounded them and started screaming and laughing while pointing towards them.
They imitated the heroic pose done by Manav and goddess, they also stood straight and filled their chests with air to make them more big and domineering.
Goddess bowee her back and picked up a small rock from ground and tossed it in her hand.
Other monkeys also imitated goddess and picked up rocks invisible to goddess and manav, and tossed it up and down.
Goddess threw the stone far away, and sand flew when stone hit the ground.
Other monkeys also threw the stone and sand flew when they hit the ground.
Seeing this Manav was surprised.
"So they have powers of Mime, interesting it is easy for me to get rid of these monkeys now." Manav thought to himself and walked behind goddess and stood there.
Other monkeys also stood behind their kins making lair of tows.
Manav seeing this, started walking backward to the direction they came from.
"Huh what is he doing?" Goddess thought to herself and followed Manav want to see what he is doing, because this is the first time see saw someone doing this when encountering these imitated monkeys.
Because the aborigines she have met till now has only one method of luring these monkeys away.
Monkeys also started doing this in the direction Manav was walking.
Suddenly Manav turned and put his hands on air like he was putting it on the wall.
Manav started the action of finding the door knob, after a while Manav found it and rotated and opened the door and walked out signalling goddess to follow him.
The moment goddess walked out Manav immediately closed the door and make the gesture of locking the door and putting a stone in front of the door.
Monkeys also walked forward and tried to imitate the action Manav did to open the gate.
But they tried and tried but can't open the door.
They started to panick and yell at each other, some monkeys came forward patting their chest in reassurance.
(Picture)
Other monkeys made the way for them and let them try.
After few tries they also slumped down on ground with defeat.
Few monkeys hold their heads in despair and few ones laughed at the monkeys who tried to open the door.
Goddess watching the monkeys was quite amused and surprised.
She stared at Manav who was looking at monkeys.
"What an intelligence he has, quite the one which no puppet ever has." Goddess was
A small and unique looking monkeys stepped forward to walk towards the door.
Other monkeys seeing him few ones started to laugh at him and others screamed at him with anger clearly showing disgust.
The small monkey stood in front of the door and hold his hands aligned like holding something like stick.
This small monkey started to attack the door like chopping the wood with axe.
Manav and goddess was surprised seeing this.
The little monkey came out of the hole he made in the door, ignoring other monkeys who started to yell angrily at small monkey.
Goddess suddenly signaled to Manav making sign of capturing the little monkey.
Manav hesitated whether to do this or not, but seeing the actions of goddess and expression on her face he thought he must catch this little monkey, the size of cat in his previous life.
Manav stepped forward attracting the attention of little monkey who was making various action to trapped monkeys teasing them.
He stared at tall figure of Manav and turned his sideways in confusion.
Manav made the gesture of putting a box on little monkey.
Little monkey who reacted lately was trapped inside he tried to pull the steel bars in front of him but failed.
He tried to make the same gesture of holding an axe but it failed because of little space.
Manav stood their holding the cage from upside.
Manav made another gesture of putting a iron sheet down the cage he made, trapping the monkey.
"So he made an small cage for monkey, as long as the monkey thinks he is in cage he will be in, until he found a tool similar to axe but smaller to pry open the cage. Now's time to tame this little imitated monkey, and this little one is quite rare in thousands of years, even harder to find than divine beasts, but I can't tame it because although this monkey is good, but not powerful enough to accompany me to the path of becoming goddess again, so let's make this puppet tame the monkey, because puppet beasts have special ability to tame more than one beasts, as long as they have purple taming crystals, and I will tame this puppet beast, and he is qualified to be my companion beast, first because they are immortals as long as their core is intact and can strengthen their bodies with stronger metals, diagrams, and runes, a rare beast who is more precious than divine beasts, and I am lucky to meet one and a intelligent one not aggresive." Goddess thought to herself and found that she was lost in her thoughts that she did not see Manav standing in front of her staring at her quietly.
She was scared and took a step behind.
"Hey did you have mission to scare me everytime? Okay now let you tame this beast." Goddess said signalling manav to hold the monkey in cage.
Goddess rubbed her ring and took out and luminating purple crystal and raised in front of Manav's face.
Manav was confused seeing her action of taking out the luminescent purple crystal and raising it in front of him.
Goddess saw that puppet did not move and was definitely confused.
"Oh how can I forgot that this crystal is very rare." Goddess showed her tongue to Manav and started making the signs of taking out the blood of monkey dropping it on crystal and putting the crystal against his head, but she made another sign of knocking out the monkey or beat it until it did not have rebellious thoughts.
Monkey was still jumping in little cage sometimes pulling the cage bars or sometimes trying to bite it.
Manav raised the cage and put it into front of his face staring at little monkey.
Monkey suddenly took out his hand from between the cage bars and scratched his claws at Manav's face.
"Fu*king monkey, how dare you damage my right eye." Manav put the cage on the ground and made the signs of holding two threads, he attached them to each other for few times and put the wire on his legs and made sign of shivering heavily, after a few seconds Manav stopped shivering and approached the cage
Seeing this monkey stepped back trying to make himself pitiful.
