3 Red-spotted deer

In a blink of an eye, ten years had already passed by.

On the remote mountainous region, a black shadow could be seen flashing by through the forests.

.

A plump rabbit was lazily chewing onto some lush grass while suddenly its ears perked up and it went on full alert.

From a distance the plump rabbit saw a shadow flashing towards him! But before it could speed up and run away, the shadow was too fast as it zoomed down onto him and bit its neck forcefully. The rabbit whimpered as it choked and within a few moments it stopped struggling.

As the sun rays shone onto the shadow, the shadow's identity was finally revealed.

It was a human child that looked about nine to ten-years old, the child had long dark hair that reached up till his waist.

The child's golden pupils shone with excitement as it tore open the rabbit and feasted heartily upon it.

The child stood on his fours and his demeanor was no different than a beast. It then sprang towards a nearby water stream and quenched its thirst.

Coincidentally there were two silver wolves holding down a red-spotted deer as they sunk their sharp fangs into its smooth and delicate neck.

The deer was in its final death throes and struggled fiercely but to no avail. One of the silver wolves let down his guard as he loosened his grip onto the deer, this was practically a heaven-sent opportunity for the deer who had just accepted its fate of being eaten.

After a round of fierce struggle, it managed to escape from the jaws of the two fierce wolves as it sprinted away from them as far as possible.

The direction that the deer sprang towards was coincidentally right towards the human child!

The deer didn't notice the third party early as it stood by a inconspicuous location but when the deer noticed it, it was too late.

The human child held a sharp stone in its hand as it brutally smashed it onto the deer's head.

The deer's skull cracked and in the next moment its running body feebly collapsed onto the ground.

In no time at all, the pair silver wolves caught up with fallen deer. One of then grabbed the dead deer by its neck and started dragging it back to its den, whereas the other wolf just simply nodded and gestured the human child to follow them back.

.

It was a strange scene as a human child and two silver wolves walked together like fellow brothers.

.

Inside the deep forests of the remote mountainous region, there was a cave that ran all the way down to an underground chamber.

One might think that this was probably a man-made creation, but it was infact naturally made. The walls of the cave were layered with stalactites and stalagmites.

There was a small pond at the centre of the underground chamber, the water inside of it was as clear as the sky and had a faint luminescence to it.

A silvery white wolf about two meters tall lay asleep beside the pond, in deep slumber. The scenery of a silvery white wolf asleep next to a faint luminescent pond painted a strangely unusual yet beautiful image.

The peaceful scenery didn't last long as a pair of silver wolves along with a human child ran up to the sleeping white wolf and started whimpering in excitement.

The white wolf clumsily looked at her kids as she noticed how they excitedly showed off their kill- the red-spotted deer that they had dragged up inside.

Although the silver wolves would normally act mature and have a dominant aura around them outside but here, inside the den in front of their mother, the aura wasn't worth sh*t.

They always found themselves return to their childish natures whenever they saw their mother.

Their excitement was in fact not without a base, the red-spotted deer was extremely tasty to eat yet at the same time there weren't many red-spotted deers in the mountainous region. This led to the three brothers to heavily enjoy and be excited whenever they caught a red-spotted deer.

Normally the kill would be divided as per who made the most effort and this time the human kid had made the most contribution as it prevented the escape and also dealt the final blow to the prey.

The three brothers had mutually agreed upon that half of their kill would go to their mother while the other half would be divided between themselves.

Although the white wolf didn't like such an arrangement and often at times protested against it, her kids were stubborn and unwilling to listen. Hence she could only ruefully obey their wishes.

The red-spotted deer was quite big and it wasn't a problem for the small wolf family as their portions were more than enough to satisfy their hunger.

Well that was normally the case for all their meals, but red-spotted deer was truly an exception as you would find yourself desiring to eat more of its meat even if your stomach was full. Such was the deliciousness of red-spotted deer meat.

.

As the wolf family ate their meal, a silvery paw sneakily extended onto the meat portion meant for the human child.

The child who was busy chewing his share of meat seemed to feel something was off and was on alert.

It soon sensed the sneaky silvery paw and immediately grabbed onto it tightly.

One of the silver wolves who was right beside the human child was hence caught red handed as he tried to steal from his brother's portion

The human kid then looked at his mother and whimpered as if it had suffered a great injustice, it even rolled about to show its weakness and how his own brothers bullied him.

The white wolf looked sternly at the silver wolf and barked out for a bit before she tore-off a portion of that silver wolf's meat and gave it to the human child.

The child immediately rejoiced and happily devoured his 'extra' food.

Watching all this from the sidelines, the silver wolf had tears in its eyes. It made a mental note to not try to so openly steal his cry-baby brother's food.
