Red Blood
Dragon Hunt (lll)
In the afternoon for the second time, Taring stopped fishing and regrouped with friends. The results of the fishing was very much if Taring see from the number of fish he caught, maybe eight fish the size of the thigh. He held the fish behind his back while walking home to the cave.
Arriving at the camp, Taring saw a pile of meat hanging over the fire. Beef, deer, antelopes, rabbits, squirrels and more are lined up in the grilled position. Ilfina, Miria, Ula, and Rhino welcomed his arrival while carrying a fish that was also not less numerous.
“Taring is back, let's here we eat,” Rhino said.
Taring put the fish, then said, “how can you get this much meat?”
“Oh, we were hunting for a while around here,” said Miria with a hand of six explaining, “but most of this meat is captured by Ula. He is good at setting traps loh.”
“Ah, that's not how good."
“If you know you can get this much meat I don't have to bother fishing.”
“Who told you to go fishing?” Ilfina ketus.
“....,” Taring glares at the veiled girl. They both looked at each other as if they were hostile.
Miria inevitably has to be a mediator, “already, Taring fishing results are also not less. Here we clean first.”
Taring handed the catch to Miria, but with eyes still not moved from the glare of Ilfina.
Ula looked at the two of them like a child in a fight. Although they often uttered hurtful words, none of them actually expressed hatred for each other. More like a joke. That's why the women of the Lilua nation can only roll their eyes seeing the two of them acting as if they are looking for attention from each other.
Half an hour later the fish that was cleaned by Miria had been roosted along with the ranks of meat that was being roasted. It's already night time. Mosquitoes as well as some other insects start to go wild disturbing the ears of those who are camping near the cave. The ears of the rhino have been up and down since.
Some pieces of meat seem to have been cooked first. They divide the portion evenly into four parts because as usual, Rhinos only eat grass that has been available on the ground. After giving the parts to Taring, Miria gave something else.
“Taring, this please.”
“Who's blood is this?”
“This is the blood of the animal we are cooking. I save it just in case you need.” later
“Oh .. thank you. You know, to be honest right now I'm not really gonna drink blood. Somehow but lately my lust will be a little less blood. I would rather just eat this roast. But I appreciate your concern, Miria.”
“That's because you're in good shape now,” said Ilfina still with a sniffy mouth, “the better the Vampires control their emotions, the better they control their bloodthirsty instincts. That's why Vampires are often made leaders and nobles because of their skill in self-control. But I'm not sure you're fit to be a leader even if your bloodlust is gone.”
“....”
“....”
“....”
All speechless. One by one, it started to raise the question, what is the matter with these two?
Back Miria looking for a tense atmosphere, “Ilfina, can I ask you something?” He said after thrusting a lump of hot venison.
“Bby.”
“Can you tell us about the Ancestral Core? I know that this thing is to ensure that the descendants do not become extinct, but why can its function be so powerful? Are there any other uses?”
The veiled girl put her food back to the side. He did not want to eat it yet because he felt that he would tell a long enough story about the origin of the source of this chaos that caused Bourga the Werewolf king to desperately snatch it from them. Eat it later.
“Thanks to the ice and fire that keep falling to Middle Earth, suddenly a tree grows. The tree grew and had fruit. There are six fruits, of which each fruit is born a human. They are the ancestors of mankind and the gods we worship today.”
“These six brethren for some time lived under the tree of life that gave birth to them. They are still confused about not knowing what to do because they can't go anywhere. Starting a life is hard. Finally they realized, if they want to start the life of a big tree they must cut down. After being cut down appeared a very powerful spray of water from under the tree that swept across the surface of the earth.”
“The water was to create a flood to all corners of the world that we now know with the Great Flood Tragedy. From the flood came five additional islands. Then they agreed to share the island and start life there.”
“Si eldest sister takes island in west. It was a place filled with hot lava. The younger brother first took the island to the north, a place that had previously been frozen covered in ice and snow. The second brother took his place in the east. While the third sister took the island to the south. The fourth sister and the youngest inhabit Middle Earth together.”
“After getting their respective places, they started cloning*human in order to be the inhabitants of each island. They made humans out of ribs and combined them with materials they found in their respective dwellings. The eldest brother tried to form a human from the materials of fire and lava. As a result of being born the first Orc, the nature of the human he created follows the nature of fire, hard, barbaric, strong, and unruly.”
[*] Cloning \= Man-making
“The first Adik who inhabited the northern earth gave birth to an enormous giant as tall as a mountain. It was the origin of the Lilua nation.”
“Eh, wait a minute,” Ula interrupts, “how could our ancestors used to be giants?”
“The story is not over. The second sister then gave birth to Elf and the third sister gave birth to the Krairon nation. Each of the humans they created had flaws. Like the barbaric Orcs, Lilua was too big and Krairon who could not breathe on the surface had to stay in the ground. The only one who managed to create a perfect human is the second brother, he can create Elves perfectly and has a long life.”
“The oldest brother then created the Orc Alpha in order to lead the barbarians in the West Earth. As a result even like monsters at least they can be arranged. The first brother also needs to make a solution for his giant people. After observing the living giants for several centuries he finally realized that the area of the East Earth is too narrow if filled by large creatures. So he also made an heirloom capable of shrinking their bodies to normal, namely Blerit."
“But he couldn't measure how much power Blerit needed to make Lilua's size fit a normal human. As a result he used the power of the tool excessively so that the giant body that was about to be normalized even became too small.”
“But from the first brother's fault, he noticed that the resources of the Northern Earth archipelago were very sufficient with the small size of their people. Because basically the area he got in the northern earth was much narrower compared to his other brother. So he just let his petite people inhabit the island.”
“Oh .. so so the origins of Blerit and my ancestors,” Ula nodded.
“For the second brother who inhabits the Southern Earth feels his creation is the most perfect. But after a few centuries he realized that the Elves were much stronger during the day than at night. So he changed a little bit of their DNA in order to better adapt to moonlight. That's why when night comes let alone a full moon, Elves become strong.”
“Same with Werewolf?” Tanya Taring's.
“No, Elves are not as strong as Werewolves when exposed to moonlight. They just make our senses much sharper and the movements become more agile. To me may not seem too much influence, but on the main descendants of Elves only very obvious.”
“Terus?”
“For the third sister, she was having quite a strange problem from the others. He did not think that his human creation was unable to breathe oxygen directly and had to live in the soil. So he started experimenting. He told one of his creations to create a new human being without any interference from the third brother. One of the Krairon tried to use the ribs belonging to the third brother we now know with the Ancestral Core with one of the plants.”
“Oh, so you mean that Ancestral Core is the rib of our creators?”
“Well, those who created us lowered their ribs on each of the creations that is our own ancestor. That's why it's called the Ancestral Core, if you have it it's the same as all the DNA power of your race is on you.”
“That's why the owner of the Ancestral Core is so powerful,” Miria nodded in understanding.
“Continue from the third sister experiment, was born a new creature that is a tree that can talk like a human. The third brother increasingly did not understand how else so that he could make a normal human. Finally he gave up and let the two creatures coexist together. That's the origin of Krairon and Erga.”
Everyone was silent while nodding. Now they understand the origin of their ancestral events and the history they have never known. But of all the stories of Ilfina, she had not told him about the Vampire and Werewolf parts.
“Well, for the stories of both races there is a special story.”
