7 Think about it later

Scanning my surroundings, I located a lot of things and thought a bit about them before mixing a small amount within his food.

First, those to help him build resistance, after those for strength and later endurance.

"Why are you smiling Zephyra,"

"Big brother, I wish for you to grow up strong to protect me in the future."

The young air breather looked down at me with a look I could not decipher and then smiled.

Quickly turning away I picked a leaf, wrapped it to store water and ran to the stream nearby, there I scooped up water within the leaf and carefully walked towards the young air breather.

"Big brother, here, have some water."

I stretched my short arms out, and blinked up at him.

In my mind, I thought to myself, that I must continue to treat this thigh well, at least for my survival.

"Thank you,"

Right then the suns' rays shone through the trees, where he sat it graced his form, at that time he took a sip from the leaf, for some strange reason my heart within my chest accelerated.

Subconsciously I reached up and placed a small hand on it while staring at him, feeling somewhat confused.

This feeling... It felt so familiar, yet I could not grasp it.

This feeling... It felt as though something important to me has been found, but how?

What?

"Zephyra is so thoughtful,"

I blinked then smiled.

Forget it, I can think about it later.

I have to show my good points to my thigh.

"Zephyra, I think we have rested enough, let us continue. Do you want me to carry you again?"

Shaking my head I stood, and followed.

Along the way, I killed a few of the beasts that tried to attack, skinned them and roasted their meat, collecting their fur and pelt which was placed on a contraption the young air breather had made.

More than half a day later we left the forest dragging the pelts on a well-made piece of wooden raft.

There are many days the triple suns in the sky was viewed, I paused and stared blinking.

From memory, the Gaia Planet had one sun and one moon.

Why is it that it has three suns?

Even though I knew the answer, the heat was really getting to me making me quite muddled.

My throat became dry and my movements a bit stiff, still, I persisted only because of the fact that I wanted to avoid that family of mines.

The mountain forest was cool but outside of it was much hotter than I had expected resulting in me becoming sluggish.

It felt as if the suns were beating down on me, without the shelter from the trees and the dampness within the mountain forest due to the constant light rainfall I had produced I felt like I would die.

"Elder brother…" I croaked once we reached a certain distance, unable to continue further I simply passed out.

----

Young master of the first branch Au family,

Legal born son, third son birthed,

Au Fuji;

(various pov)

There was a gentle breeze, it felt cool against his slightly tanned skin, it had only been a few days but his once meticulously carefully trimmed hair now reached his shoulders and is now tied behind his head.

The boy's eyes felt himself tense, her voice had called for him so weakly unlike the girl who seemed to be like a god than a mere mortal girl.

Each time she killed and ate he thought he was under an illusion and this girl is actually over four meters tall and possessed power rivalling even a god.

How is it possible for someone so tiny, to eat so much?

Collapsed in front of him, he felt as though his three views were being tested, because it was her, how long had he stood there simply staring at the still form of the girl before him, he is not sure.

Her dark skin looked dry with a withering look to it.

The riot of curls half-covered her small pretty face, pursing his lips young master Au Fuji bent and picked up the small girl.

She had saved his life, and from the growth of his rank after being fed by her so many things he knew she assisted him in getting strong.

Young master Au Fuji, cradled her close to his chest after tying the vine to his waist and dragging the contraption filled with, skins and pelts.

She had wanted them, so he had indulged her. The little girl moved in his arms, he looked down at her pursing his lips once more, cold eyes narrowing for a moment.

A while later there was a stream, freeing himself first he then bent down and carefully gathered water and drop by careful drop fed her.

This process was done four times before she slowly awakened.

In his mind, the young master Au Fuji thought about her life.

A mother tossing her child in this forest, and her never having her own wrist band. He shook his head gently wiping her face. He may be young but he is wiser than his years. Since no one wants her, then he will raise her, having a little sister like this moulded as he wished would be satisfying.

A rare smile graced the lips of the young master Au Fuji, He stood still holding the small girl and continued walking forward.

The walk was peaceful, even though those beasts stared, they dared not attack.

For the few suns that those two were present, the tiny cub would hunt indiscriminately.

If they hunted in packs she would still ruthlessly fight back maiming a few so they could stay alive long enough to be eaten later.

The wolves prowled around the edges, wanting to growl but dared not.

The bears, prowled further back looking depressingly at the fürs that belonged to kin.

A lone panther, jaguar and the occasional snake would roam but most would flee, unable to attack or bear the pressure that tiny cub gave off.

In grievances, one of the jaguars ran to its alpha and yowled, snarled and growled.

"A cub has entered the forest, alpha!"

"So, what does it have to do with me?"

The jaguar is magnificent, it had a beautiful purple coat, its eyes were large and watery, with slightly long ears, the twin tails whipped in agitation before the jaguar gained control of itself.

"Alpha, this cub walks on two limbs. Extremely similar to the primates but lack fur on its body and a tail. Yet its head has plenty of fur-"

"Human? It survived so long? Why is it not dead!? What rank is it? I shall request a battle,"

The alpha tiger spoke in a curious tone.

The jaguar became immediately startled, ears fell flat on its head as the tiger alpha rose to his towering height.

Six limbs; four forepaws and two slightly longer hind paws.

The body was strong, limbs coiled with muscles and bursting with strength.

The four eyes stared at the jaguar, they did not ripple, even if a female went into heat nearby with the most beautiful coat and sleek form; the alpha would not care.
