Ari Chapter 10: A Terrible Tribe Incident
The wind was so cold on top of the trees. Luckily, I was wearing the cloak that my father had given me, and the feathers on my wings were already thick enough to endure the cold wind. I also got my pants slightly torn underneath when my tail suddenly appeared. The back of my clothes and cloak were also torn due to my wings. I now understood why a beastman normally wears skirts only. I decided to plan the design of my clothes again when I got back home, as I landed on the branch of the tallest tree. Then I got mesmerized upon realizing the color of the forest. "How peaceful and nostalgic..." I whispered to myself. I was laying down on the branch while watching as the wind blew some of the leaves, causing them to slowly fall off the trees and paint the ground orange. It was such an artistic scene that, if only paint and canvas were available, I would have already painted it, even if I was not good at painting. I wanted to take a nap, but I suddenly heard a loud scream from a distan
Ari Chapter 11: Mommy
The deaths of their children were detrimental to any parent. It was understandable that my mother suffered the most during the huge boar incident to the point of losing her mind; she had already lost two of her hatchlings during the dengue incident four years ago, and now she had lost another three. It was saddening to hear her cry every now and then. Her voice could be heard all over the tribal territory, and no one could do much to help her ease the pain—not even my own father. I was also grieving for the loss of my siblings; they were precious to me since I had never had any siblings in my previous life. I also cried while blaming myself for not being able to save them while embracing myself to sleep every night. I was already there. I had a better view from that tree, despite being at a distance. If only I hadn't been too emotional over a simple matter at that time, like a real child, I might have spotted the danger right before it happened. I was not an ordinary child; I should
Ari Chapter 12: Preparation for Winter
Our tribe has had a good system for gathering enough food before the winter ever since I suggested to my father that we could plant our own food and domesticate some animals instead of constantly hunting. It took our tribe some years to properly adapt to the process of farming and domesticating animals to sustain our food during the winter.We also started to help all the nearby allied tribes by teaching them the said methods. We often visit their tribes on a scheduled basis to constantly check their progress. Some seemed to find it hard to adjust to the method, but still managed to follow through with my father's guidance.One time, I accompanied my father and our people to the Forest Wolf Tribe to check on the progress of their farming and animal domestication.The Alpha of their tribe was named Acwulf, a bluish-gray Wolf beastman with silver eyes.The body of a Wolf beastman was smaller than that of an average Lion beastman, but their muscles were firm, they were more agile, and the
Ari Chapter 13: Lion Tribe Rules
Years later, I would soon turn thirteen after the winter. We still constantly collaborate with the other tribes regarding their progress on provisions every autumn, as preparation for winter, to ensure the safety of the people of the allied tribes. It was midwinter, and the heat and egg-laying season were in full swing for the Forest Lion Tribe. Different types of scent could be sensed all over the territory, indicating that most of the mature and youngling members of the tribe were undergoing their estrous and rut, while some had already laid their eggs and were already in the process of incubating them. The Elder Healer and I were busy brewing a tremendous amount of suppressant for the younglings and the unmarried males to prevent any unwanted incidents. I thought to myself that it had been too peaceful at the tribe for many days already. However, there was an intense sense of an eerie feeling that was bothering me for some reason. A female youngling suddenly rushed to the Elder H
Ari Chapter 14: Egg Hatching
Arvad's mother had gone mad due to the agony and grief, knowing her son could never do such things. Just before spring started, she disappeared, leaving her four male spouses and their eggs without a trace. The four males pleaded with my father to help them find their female spouse, so my father instructed half of the male tribesmen to search for the missing female. It had already been two weeks since they diligently searched for the missing female, but they couldn't find her or any clue as to her location, as if she had vanished into thin air.A few weeks passed, so my father tried to visit all the nearby tribes to inquire about the missing female but still failed to find a clue. They also tried to find Arvad, thinking he would know the location of his mother, but it was already too late when they found him deep in the forest with huge wounds from a beast attack. He had already passed away two days before he was found. They never found the female. The male spouses decided to move out
Ari Chapter 15: Gurion
The next day, the Elder Healer approached me with a baffled expression on her face, carrying the cute little hatchling in her hand. She asked curiously, "Ari, did you do something to this hatchling last night—his condition became stable right after you visited him while I was brewing the herbs for him?" "Nothing, I just patted his head a little, but I promise I washed my hands before doing so and did not use my gloves, then I left the room to go to sleep early," I nervously answered. "Oh, really?" she gasped, excited upon hearing that my condition didn't get triggered when touching the hatchling, and she asked, "You touched this hatchling with your bare hands, and you didn't get ill afterwards?" "Yes, Grandma Lony, I didn't—I slept well after," I replied. She then asked, "Would you like to try holding him for a while—I want to check if your condition is stable when holding a male hatchling?" I nodded and took the hatchling from her hand. She observed me as I held the sleeping ha
Ari Chapter 16: Fabric and Dresses Production
Six years had already passed since the boar incident, and I turned 15 years old. Gurion was getting bigger, and we became closer as I visited him often. He used to always cling to me and be reluctant to part with me when it was time for me to go. Meanwhile, fabric production was in full swing, especially when other tribes also started to negotiate with us on trading our fabrics for food, salt, rare herbs, and tools after learning about our fabric production. I designed a backless cloak just for myself so that it would never be torn again like before. I also wore an undergarment that doesn't hinder my tail when it suddenly pops out after my transformation. It was made from a combination of cotton and silk fabric, with silk lace ribbon tied on each side as a waist strap to hold it in place. I also decided to make a loose, backless, knee-length dress with a thick leather belt designed with a wooden clutch to keep it in place and remove it easily as I please underneath my long cloak tha
Ari Chapter 17: Someone lurking in the forest
I flew hurriedly to my destination as fast as I could without looking back. After a few glides through the sky, I arrived at the hidden spring. The spring was located near the summit of a huge mountain. It was surrounded by a thick forest and huge rock formations, and one could only enter or leave the spring by flying above, climbing the huge trees, or passing through a small dog hole gap between the two huge rock formation walls covering the area. I removed the shawl wrapped around my body and placed it on the ground along with my bow, quiver, and bag. Soaps and shampoo were still nonexistent in this world. We only used a variety of flower essences and ointments made from herbs and applied them to our bodies and hair, then used stones to scrub the dirt off our bodies while rinsing them with water. I was still in the process of studying how to make soap, but I got so focused on fabric production and on sewing dresses that it got delayed too much. I already brought a bucket and ba
