Chapter 8 - Signs of a Bad Omen [I]

The twin sisters were not originally from the Birch tribe. The two girls were born in another medium-sized tribe.

When they were children, their tribe was reduced into small groups of villagers because of the raging war, and the surviving tribe members fled and became wanderers.

Many years ago, the Birch tribe found more than a dozen surviving members of this tribe while hunting in the Outer forest, and brought them back to their tribe to settle down, including the twin sisters.

One day, Oscar decided to live separately from his parents. His mother, Kiara, saw that the two girls were cute and well-behaved and had no relatives, so she arranged for them to take care of Oscar's daily life.

As the eldest of the two sisters, Hespera matured earlier. She had a calm temperament, and worked more patiently. She was most loved by the couple. Whereas, Shesara was more childish, playful by nature, but greatly cute.

Under Kai's observation of the sisters' temperaments, as far as marriage was concerned, Hespera was the most suitable at the moment.

As for Hespera, knowing their lives were saved by the chieftain, so the decision of the tribe ruler could only be obeyed by her. Moreover, Hespera knew in her heart that her foster parents were also doing what was good for her.

Although she had an endless love for Oscar as her brother, she knew that it would never be possible to continue staying with him. She had to leave one day, and the day was now here.

Seeing that Hespera had agreed, Oscar immediately walked over to pull her up, and comforted her. "Sister, don't worry too much about me. I'm in good hands. I just want you to be happy. I know you're in a good hand too."

"Mhm."

"And..." Oscar looked outside the door and said with conviction. "...I will use the remaining time of these few days to further observe the character of master Guyon's person. If his character is not right, then the marriage arrangement will be canceled and he would be sent away from our tribe."

"Oscar is right. In the next few days, we'll make more contact with him, so we can observe his nature." Kai also added before turning to Oscar. "The hunting tomorrow is up to you, Wynter will supervise you, just in case."

"Yes, father." 

"And Hespera, you'll also been in contact with this young mage in the next couple of days, so you can learn more about him too."

"Okay, father."

"Good." After hesitating for a while, Kai continued. "As for the Canyon tribe's purchase of the bows, I've been thinking about it, and I believe that it would be good to give them some as a wedding gift because of Hespera. What do you think, Kiara?"

"It's a good arrangement. I'm in support of it."

Kai nodded, then glanced at the crowd at last, got up and said. "That's settled then. Oscar, you go and arrange the hunt for tomorrow."

"Wait." Kiara stood up and said. "Son, come here."

Kiara picked up the emerald box on the table and said to Oscar. ".Although this Mithril Coat is not the best, it is still a treasure. So, I want you to it on now for your safety during the hunt. That way, I'll feel more at ease."

"Yes..." Kai nodded and laughed. "... I already forgot about it."

Kiara pulled Oscar over, and began to take off his clothes, leaving only his trousers. 

Oscar quickly put his hands on his trouser and asked his mother nervously, "Mother, do I need to take this off?"

Kiara couldn't help laughing. "Why, are you still so shy in front of your mother? This Mithril Coat is a close-fitting item, how can you wear it without taking all your cloth off?"

Oscar had no choice but to remove his trouser, making everyone snickered.

The Mithril Coat felt similar to the undergown worn by modern women, except that it was thinner and more transparent, and has stronger elasticity.

After putting it on, he put on his robe, and a sensation of coolness washed all over his body. A sensation of coolness.

He stretched his hands and feet and walked back and forth a few times in the room. There was no hindrance at all. Just as if he wasn't wearing anything. 

The sheer magical power of this thing made him sigh in content. .

Looking at her son, Kiara was filled with joy.

After turning around two times, Oscar saw that everyone was watching him, snickering, and suddenly remembered the embarrassing situation just now. He put a frown on his face and said. "Mother, if there's nothing else for me to do here, I'll like to take my leave." 

Then, he ran away.

When everyone saw it, they smiled at one another, and then dispersed.

At the corner of the tribe square, the Shaman hid behind a tree, observing the patriarch's hut. She had been here for a long time, observing the signs in the sky.

She had been seeing signs of bad omen in the sky and had been making supplications to avert it, but they were scaring her more than before.
