5 Chapter 5 - Yukiya and the thunder beast

The snake seems to be unconscious for a very long time. Xia che started getting used to having it on his body . He noticed that the snake was extremely injured.

"Hmm you should be thankful that I listen to mama Yukiyas class related to medicinal herbs. These Lillium flowers would heal its injured" he said to himself as he started picking flowers.

The trees leaned by themselves offering their flowers to Xia che. "Thank you for your help." He waved the Lillium tree and ran towards his river. He started looking around for some small rocks to mash up the flowers; to make a paste. He pounded the rocks until the flowers were made in to a paste. He gently held the paste in his fingertip; opened his pants and applied it on the wounded snake.

The snake felt very soft and slippery to touch but Xia che could feel some of its scaled were missing. Applying the paste gently he said "you stupid snake. Look at me being kind. Can you be kind as well and let go of my jj" he said softly to the snake.

A little raven perching on the trees nearby looked at this sight and thought "poor kid he seen to be speaking to his jj ah. Maybe he is not able to get it up or he is just trying to motivate it by speech. Either way Darling you should not grow up like that man" it told its young fledgling.

Xia che tried coaxing this little snake with food this time. He put a slice of dried beef jerky down his pants and told "Hey why don't you try this. It smells good right. Let go and I'll give you."

The raven nearby was mortified by this sight. Quickly hiding her fledgling's eyes with her wings she said "Oh my god this perverted man. Look at him using food for his pleasure."

Just like this little fairy Xia che was unknowingly mistaken as a pervert who talks to his jj And a pervert who uses food to relieve himself.

Unaware about all this rumours the little Crayfish was relatively happy. Expect being unable to relieve himself, he found out that he had regained his luck again.

One morning after stoking the snake sleeping on his jj, he walked along the river path in boredom. He tripped on a rock and found a pot of gold hidden under it. The next day he wanted to test his hypothesis, so he stoked the snake again and went to the sycamore tree to collect honey again. He took precaution to cover his face to protect it from the burial bees stings. It was super uneventful. The bees were rather happy to give him honey.

"Maybe you were sent to me as a gift from heaven" he told himself, as he skipped in happiness.

The same thing happened every day. The nearby raven saw the man put his hand inside his pants and confidently stroke his jj in public. The raven was mortified by this. She tried hiding her fledgling's eyes everyday from this perverted man.

"Don't ever build your nest near the clear river. There lives a perverted man who likes to touch himself there. Look at my son ahh. He unknowingly got the habit of stoking his underbelly with his wings, looking at that man," the raven cawed emotionally to one of its sisters. Just like that a new rumour started spreading again all living creatures inside the Nevada forest.

Now and the Xia che wondered where Yukiya went or where she is right now. But presently she was having a major life or death battle with a deadly Raiju.

That day when she went to visit Suikal village, her carriage was shot down from the sky by a huge golden raven. She was falling fast so she tried to get out of her chariot but it was a closed chariot so she couldn't get out soon. She felt her chariot hit the ground soon and lost her consciousness for almost a day or so. Feeling extremely woozy, she tried to get out of the chariot.

"Omg I am late. I am usually on time for our meetings. My poor little crayfish might be worried sick now," she thought as she got out of the chariot. She looked around to find herself in a dark cave. Shocked she tried to recall the exact location her chariot was shot down.

"My chariot was shot down on the way back from Suikal village. Near Kulin mountain range but kulin mountain range is fully covered by green forests. How does cave even exist here?" She thought out loud.

A bad premonition raised in her heart when she saw red crystals growing on the sides of the cave.

"These crystals, they are amethyst." she said out loud as she broke a small piece of the crystal and sniffed it.

She had read about them before, these type of red amethyst can only be found in the thunder bay of the heavenly plain. They are extremely difficult to find because that entire bay is protected by the thunder beast Raiju.

No sooner a big roar came from inside the cave. A huge wolf dog with thunder bolds covering its entire body came out of a small entrance in the cave. The wolf sniffed the air trying to find the intruder. Thunder wolf Raiju is said to be the most powerful beast of them all and they are fiercely loyal to the dragons.

She hid near a huge crystal formation to hide her scent. Regardless the thunder beast managed to find her. So the battle for her life started. It lasted till date for almost 10 years now.

The beast would only fight her from sunrise to sun set. After which Yukiya takes a nap and tends to her wounds. Over the years the beast had become slightly lenient with its attacks. But nonetheless it never let her thought the small cave opening it always uses. She even started doubting if there was a thunder beast cub inside or not. She tried searching for other ways to exit the cave but none was found over the years. She also searched for the portal that brought her here but she couldn't find it at all. So she had to battle the beast every day.
