9 - Take

"Some of the informations had been withdrawn. They'd been kinda deleted from my brain. I'm not sure."

Vie said. He was lying in bed, but had been helped to seat up. He wasn't recovering quickly. He should, but the odds of all the ugly experiences and the complementing blows had left him with no choice.

"Just say the little you can."

There were five men standing by the bed side on the right. He would had loved them to move to the left that the apt atmosphere might do its justice, but there was no space by the left.

Twas a very thin room. He was lying on a bed made from bamboo stalks and laid with few animal skins. Twas comforting though but not at its very best.

He felt hunger reaching for the depth of his consciousness but the fellows who were standing and waiting on him needed something to hold unto. So that they could act quickly and probably rescue the dark man.

He could discern the face of their monarch. He had long grey beards and his eyes had some shots of wine rage. He would had loved to have some slurps from them.

"But be comfortable too."

The Monarch added to what his adviser had said earlier.

He yawned and looked around his room for the last time. He had thought and feared that he wouldn't be able to return their while he was in the bush, but how glad he was to be there alive and hearty.

"We were going to hunt some animals before we saw this hefty lion. He started pursuing us till we were able to climb some trees. I was unconscious and jumpy because it was my first time. My peg slipped and dropped and so did I. So the lion came upon me. But Hava also jumped off the tree because of me and the lion changed its prey. At the long run, Hava killed the lion, but soon as he killed it, some Manganis appeared and took me away. He turned to my absence. He started looking for me then saw me on the shoulder of one of the Managanis. He was caught too and we were tied and feared that we would be killed. But the Manganis spared us both but took him to river Put. Then I was escorted by one of the Manganis to a junction, where three paths met. So, I took the wrong path which led to the hides of Cougars. I was going to be killed when I was saved by another Mangani. I've never seen that one with those evil ones. He had a good spirit and took me to the border of the forest. There I was attacked by another cat, a leopard. I couldn't remember what happened next. I just woke up at the end of the route which leads to our village and stumbled down the road where someone saw me and summoned everyone."

He stopped talking. He felt very light and exhausted, like he had donated his salivary gland.

"Thanks, my son. Rest. Take enough rest. Hava should be fine."

One of the men said,

"You can't guarantee that, dullard."

The adviser said, not too loud though.

The Monarch waved the men to him and said,

"We should send men to Put. They will take the paths in the caves. No Mangani ever goes there."

He said and walked away from them all, while they try to catch up with him,

"The order gains its life now."

The Monarch's dog took his turn to communicate the message with all those who would be going for the hunt.

He was making some sounds only monkeys had the pitch.

To retrieve the body of that Hava.
