3 Chapter 3

Finished with cutting up the magenta rabbit's carcass, with a primitive knife I made out of clay from the earth and heating it with fire from a small flame, I'm left with a black sparkly bloody mess. Luckily 80% of my cloths are black, so now they are sparkly and damp... Great...

Collecting other twigs from the surroundings and creating a small fire pit to cook the rabbit meat. I gesture in a way that creates a small ball of flame and gently guide it towards the twigs, causing some of them to caught on fire. And then cancel the magically created flame in my hands. With my original poking twig, I stab a piece of rabbit meat and hold it above the flames.

Minutes later, I have a somewhat cooked rabbit meat. Funny thing that happened while it was cooking, a black sparkly gas started to raise out of the meat. Guess I missed some important step from my dismantling session.

Thinking about what's different from this price of raw meat compared to what I usually have at home. Well besides the obvious differences from it being a another world's magical creature.

Blood.

How could I have missed the most obvious thing! Maybe because it's a sparkly black here instead of a crimson red? Well now I've just wasted an entire carcass. Poor magenta rabbit, I shall bury you and remember your sacrifice!

Making a gesture like I'm parting the Red Sea, a small hole appears in the ground below the remaining magenta rabbit carcass. Followed by the carcass falling to the bottom, I add the parts that I had over by the fire pit. And reclose the Red Sea.

Using the same gesture I used for water magic, I draw a small stream of water from the near by lake and dowse the fire. Making sure I cleaned up as much of the area I was occupying as I could, I depart back into the forest to find more poor souls to experiment on.

Trying to be as quiet as I can, I walk through the magical forest.

Apparently, I'm not walking or stalking correctly. Every magical creature I happen upon starts to scurry away as soon as I'm around ten feet away from them. Giving me no time to make the appropriate gesture to prey upon any future victims of mine.

Returning to the lake from before, I noticed that one magenta rabbit decided to return to the lake. However, before I could start any gestures a black fox materializes from the shadows of the forest. Just before the black fox was about to pounce, a line of black script appeared around its paws. Followed by a non-glowing energy surrounding its paws. And then the black fox pounced upon the magenta rabbit. Only for the magenta rabbit to turn around the last second and notice it's intimidate doom.

The magenta rabbit got slaughtered by the black fox in matter of seconds. Black sparkly blood splattered the black fox's muzzle and the surrounding grass from the repeated onslaught of the black fox's non-glowing energy covered black paws upon the magenta rabbit's body.

Although my water blade from earlier was a magical attack, like that of the black fox's, why didn't the rabbit from then notice until it was too late? Maybe I'm missing some important factor in this other world when it comes to magic? But that can hardly be my fault, I'm new here after all.

It's good to know I'll have some sort of warning before a magical creature attacks me in the future. That is unless I'm not staring right at its correct method of attack. Then I'm completely out of luck.

Moving away from the sight of the murdered magenta rabbit, I head towards a new direction within the magical forest.

Currently, I have no plan what so ever to leave this forest and search for some kind of civilization. At least not until I can defend myself properly.

So for the next few days I hunt the local wildlife, like magenta rabbits and eggplant squirrels. Nothing too dangerous or predator-like. And I've practiced with my magic gestures to almost instinctively create the magical phenomenon I want.

Side note! Figured out that I need to let my victims bleed out first before I start dismantling them.
