Chapter 222: Loot & Decision
Chapter 222: Loot & Decision
After a long time, the whole family was gathered in a temporary hut, eating and drinking after their successful raid, which allowed them to celebrate their success for a little while, even though it meant having more problems in their hands.
"Isn't this great after a long time?" Kiriah said, looking around at the assembled group of his sister, mother, Aunt Gundo and the other women including his own woman who was pregnant with a child.
"In a way, we haven't been affected at all despite our village getting destroyed. The weather might be the only thing that is different for us since we have to be extra careful when it is raining," he added, glancing at the boy whose eyes seemed to be staring daggers at Garnt.
Everyone noticed this strange blond-haired boy and knew he had some kind of a special relationship with Garnt, but decided to not talk about it unless Garnt himself started to talk about that topic.
"Is your village also fully destroyed?" Kara questioned her brother with her interest peeking up.
"No, but we can't keep mining unless we have food, and now that the main village won't send anything, it is not possible for us to stay there, so we had to leave and come here to find Garnt."
Garnt nodded his head approving what Kiriah did. "You have grown to be a well-sighted leader, brother. I'm proud of the decision you took"
Gundo and Ayra kept giving the food and drink to the family, while everyone enjoyed the little amount of happiness they got until Telvi opened her mouth to talk about the thing that had been eating her from the inside.
"Garnt, what are we going to do about my husband? He is under those travellers you keep mentioning and I..." She paused for a minute realizing it wasn't a great time to ruin the happiness of this little gathering with such a depressing topic, but when she heard Garnt's answer, Telvi could only feel happiness.
"I will do something about it. But before that," Garnt looked at his daughter, Guni, who was sitting next to a muscular woman, gulping down drinks while enjoying her huge piece of meat.
"Thora, can you feel it? Can you feel something strange?" Hearing Garnt's question, Thora looked at him confused at first but then realizing that she had been feeling rather strange these days, she decided to answer his question truthfully.
"Yes, it feels like something is asking me to come. Something far away is calling me to come and join it," It was a satisfying answer for Garnt from Thora, so he decided to tell her what he found so far, or at least what he suspected.
"I feel the same and let me tell you...I think it's because both of us have the essence of the meteor inside us. All of you saw those small pieces of the meteor that got attracted back to the sky right? I think it's because something big is going to come down sooner or later, and I suspect that it is going to be the meteor, the big one!" Everyone around Garnt gasped hearing what he said. read first at m,v,l,e,m p _y,r
[About the blueprint system in your system, it is not useless because even Mia doesn't know how to build certain types of things that are needed for the project of properly using the meteor. We might escape a few eras now that we have these things, but that doesn't mean your system became useless.]
"I guess you're right, Eva. All the old blueprints that I didn't use suddenly disappeared from the system and currently, these items are not really something I understand." Looking at the menu, Garnt muttered while Eva agreed with his sentiment.
While they were busy conversing with each other about the future of the tribe, there was a blond-haired boy watching everything from far away while his hands were gripping the walls, as if he was trying to crush them.
"So that man is my father's enemy! But-but why does Mother act all friendly with him? She should have killed him when he first met this man," This voice of anger and confusion came from none other than Toga who didn't notice another girl looking at him while listening to his rant about Garnt.
"You can't do that. He is my father. Don't say mean things like that," Toga suddenly heard the voice of a girl, and he felt shocked to listen
Startled, Toga turned to see a girl with blond hair, her eyes filled with determination. It was Guni, the daughter of Garnt, reaching out to him without knowing the relationship she had with this blond haired boy.
At first glance, Guni felt weird seeing someone with that unique hair that belonged to her family, but she knew about the basics of genetics thanks to Gundo teaching her and knew it wouldn't be strange for someone else to have the same hair as them.
"Who...Who are you? Don't bother me." Toga muttered, his anger subsiding slightly as he looked at her because he knew this girl was not someone he could show his attitude toward.
She had the energy of a big sister, who will do anything to cheer up her siblings, but at the same time wouldn't allow any of them to play tricks on her.
Without another word, Guni took Toga's hand and began to lead him towards the others, her grip firm yet gentle. Toga followed, still processing the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside him.
"Where are you taking me? Answer me, girl!" He shouted, but Guni just looked at him and smiled.
As they approached the group, Guni smiled brightly, her blond hair catching the sunlight. "Everyone, this is Toga. He's... well, he's new here. So let's play with him."
Toga glanced at the faces before him, realizing that they were all siblings, connected by the man he hated. And as he stood there, hand in hand with Guni, he couldn't help but wonder.
"Why do I feel like I know these people?"
