12 Leaving

I had just hidden under a tree stump to absorb the wolf's blood. I wasn't going to ask Jormi for help and I wasn't going to go back home because my mother would kill me for what I had just done.

Even I can't be dependent on them what will happen to me when I'm alone. Finally, Jormi will always be with me but that's not a reason to ask him for help for all the things I will do. First I dug a hole in the ground because I was going to squeeze the wolf's body and thus gather all the blood in this little place.

I knew that I shouldn't absorb it but I was going to let my body feed on these nutrients to strengthen itself because I know I will become bigger and stronger by drinking the blood but a too sudden an increase in power will give me a bad foundation so I prefer to strengthen my body first and then make my body grow bigger.

I wrapped my body around the corpse who was to my left and little by little I started to increase the pressure soon the pressure was so strong that those eyes get out of their sockets. Eventually, the body breaks under this force and tore itself apart, and several pieces of flesh scattered around.

It felt like a butcher shop or a crime scene. So I started to collect all the body parts and put them in the little hole I had made. Then I started to strike this pile of flesh with my tail and after the tenth blow, I had a mush.

"This is exactly what I needed. "

Then I plunged myself into the hole unfortunately I had not prepared myself well, indeed to strengthen his body it is necessary to destroy it. So my body would self-destruct and then re-form by absorbing these nutrients.

I was now in the hole and I was suddenly taken by an immense pain that was spreading over my body. I felt like thousands of burning needles were being pushed under my skin because my scales were not protecting me from this phantom pain.

Little by little my body adapted to the pain, but it still hurt as much as ever. At last, the expected moment arrived, a blackish flask escaped from my scales, it meant that my body had finished destroying itself because it had got rid of all these impurities. The mush in which I found myself became smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared.

"Pfouuuu it's finally over. I thought I was going to die, but at least I didn't come out of that experience empty-handed. It strengthened my mind as well as my body. If I once I had the same power as the wolf, I could now face two of them alone without using my venom. "

Author: Yes only two wolves because I don't want him to become strong too fast but I want him to become strong with every experience he goes through.

Then I looked on the floor to see if there was anything left that I could eat. But no, it was all gone.

"Well, I think I'll go hunting and think about what I'll see next. "

After some searching, I found a group of rabbits but as I was about to head towards them I saw what looked like a panther in the foliage except that it had a sword at the end of its tail.

"Why the surroundings are so dangerous, I won't be able to hunt if all my prey are already hunted. I think I'll fast today and retire. "

As I was on my way home, I thought of a rather crazy idea I had to see Vroul tell him about it. This one was simple I wanted to go to the southern plains to train. I wanted to leave my parents because it is not with their protection that I will become stronger, but by fighting and when I leave they will not be in danger anymore. I will be the only one hunted.

Finally, I saw Vroul and beckoned him to come and join me.

Vroul began to question me "So how was your first stopover?"

"Exciting but I'm not here to talk about that, I would like you to give a message to my parents."

He was intrigued "Why you can do it you're right there."

I moved my head "No I can't, I want you to tell them that I've gone to the southern plains to train on my own."

"Why must you risk your life? You're safe here."

"But for how long, if I stay with them, this security will only be a memory."

"Sounds like you really want to leave."

"Does that mean you're going to help me."

"I am your guardian I will have to help you at least once and yes you have my word I will leave to pass on your message to your parents, on the other hand, I think it is better that you leave now because your father will surely accept that you leave to train and he will feel only happy to have a child-like that but your mother. . ."

"I know my mother is the real problem, she will refuse to let me go I think that even if I would have come back, I would have had the right to a great moral from her because I had gone out without protection. So I'll leave this to you Vroul. "

And I started to leave, but I stopped just before the clearing to hear my parents' reaction. The noise I was waiting for finally came, but not as I thought it would, a big explosion appeared next to our cave.

I heard the scream of my mother "WHAT DID YOU SAID?????"

Vroul was recessed on the floor "Bagir has left and asked me to give you a message ma'am."

Pril began to speak to herself as if she was taken by madness "Bagir my child, why did you leave? Why did you leave your mother alone? Talk about what he asked you to pass on to us."

"He told me that he was going to train in the southern plains."

"He left without saying a word to me. . . No that's impossible I know you must have sold him to one of the people who chased him away. What were you promised"

She then started choking Vroul.

While the latter was about to lose his life Snar who had been silent all this time moved and freed Vroul from his wife's grip.

"You're crazy, you were going to kill him."

"Don't tell me that you too are on his side, you dare to help the person who sold your son instead of your wife."

Vroul found the energy to speak and said "He also asked me to tell you that he was leaving because if he stayed here he would not become powerful fast enough and his presence would put your life in danger."

Finally, the anger that had invaded Pril gave way to sadness.

"My son. . . "

She then collapsed to the ground.

Snar approached her "She just fell asleep, the emotional shock was too much for her."

"How come you're so calm we're all talking about your son the same way."

Snar takes Pril and began to speak "There's nothing I can do if he wants to do something he can do it. He just needs to know that we'll always stand by his side. That's the real role of parents to be their child's moral support. It's his adventure, it's up to him to live it his mother and I have already had ours and I will find it a shame that my son has to hide all his life, he would also give shame to Jormungandr.

"I am surprised that you say such wise words."

"You're wrong, it's not wisdom, it's only logic "

What the parents didn't know is that their son had heard them all.

"Father, mother, you'll see I'll make you proud and make my name inspires fear in all Urdu and yes this is my adventure, not yours you can live in peace in this place now. "

Finally, I came out of the forest and took my first real steps in this world.
