His cursing made Randu a little disappointed. Did Burdak wish she could immediately become a swordsman? She looked down deeper.
“You should train your stamina first. You ran around this land… twenty-five times. I'm used to running around this village with that amount as an initial exercise..because you're human, this only area…” Burdak gave a code with his hand…for Randu to circle this forest clearing twenty-five times.
She swallowed her saliva. Will she be able to?
Randu started to move, she ran with pain in the soles of her feet… two laps, she is already limping and being slower. She spurred herself.
'Being an ordinary human is a disgrace here…so you have to be strong Randu. Save at least a sliver of your pride to run twenty-five laps!' she kept saying those words.
In the tenth round, Randu had difficulty breathing. She stopped a few times and took a breath…then ran again even though she is li
When Burdak came back, Randu could no longer eat the meat. There is still more than half of the deer in front of her… she looked at her husband with a look of regret."I... I…. I can't do it anymore." She couldn't even speak. Her breathing is heavy, like someone who had run a marathon.Burdak sat beside her, he ate Randu's leftovers.“You have to learn to eat a lot… because you will need the energy to survive.”The way Burdak ate it, quietly and silently. He moved gracefully… but in just an instant, all the meat in front of them is gone. After drinking and cleaning his hands, Burdak asked Randu to follow him again.They walked towards the north, on a different path from where they had practiced earlier. They went into a more tenuous forest. The sun could come in, and illuminate their journey, Burdak walked five steps in front of Randu. From a distance, Randu heard the sound of falling water. Burdak turned lef
The uphill path is very steep, several times Randu almost fell into a ravine. Burdak casually climbed the high cliff full of roots. Burdak grabbed the roots to climb up. Her hands are full of wounds now, because sometimes the roots to hold on, are sharp.In front of her, there is still a cliff that is difficult to climb. Burdak is already on top of the cliff, looking down. “Come on… we are still halfway…” Burdak finally sat down waiting for Randu to arrive.Her breath is already very heavy, Randu took a lot of oxygen and exhaled slowly. She must do it!Randu stood up, she tried to stabilize her shaking knees. After several attempts, she is finally able to arrive beside Burdak.“It turns out that traveling with humans is so boring, so slow!”"Sorry, maybe I'll get used to it later!" Randu replied looking down. They had continued walking, she is grateful that the next path is an ordinary field with
“If you're really serious about it… and wish to try. Okay." Rames smirked showing his crooked teeth to Randu, he seemed to have more fangs than a normal human.Burdak then backed away, and Randu is confused. Why did her husband back off? Then what should she do? Should she back off too?“You, you're holding that wooden stick… use it as your sword. Your only mission is… hit me!”"But.. you're a wolf!""Then?" Rames is still grinning.“I'm only human…isn't this an unfair fight.” She answered boldly since she is looking straight at Rames, she doesn't want to lower her head again.“Ha…ha…ha… you're so naive! Or what we call... stupid! Does your enemy care… that you are human or not? Do not talk too much! Quick…attack me!” he snapped.Randu is shocked and almost dropped the stick. She had never fought before… and she had ab
Rames showed his two sharp-clawed hands.'One more.. number.' Randu kept repeating it in her head. One more and she could be free. Maybe she can…yes she definitely can.Rames is very close with his hands outstretched, and he aimed at Randu's chest. This is a lethal move. It looks like the wolf king is about to spit out Randu's chest. That's why he spoke of preparing to die.Randu held her breath, her whole body felt numb..and she ordered with her brain to move her legs..but she couldn't, she wanted to move her hands..but she couldn't move her hands either. The claws are already very close to her chest…and the last thing she could do is turn around. She rolled twice until Rames clawed her from behind. Her clothes are torn at the back and some of the skin on her back had peeled off. Stings. Very sore."Ten!" Burdak shouted, then Randu heard the sound of people running towards her. Rames heard the word ten And immediately stopped in his positio
It might be true that the living-garden pond has healing magical powers. Currently Randu has no longer feels pain at all, in fact she feels her whole body is very soft and warm. She tried to raise her hand, all the wounds that were there has disappeared completely, not even a scar! There are only red spots, like people had soaked in hot water on their skin.“Try to move your feet!” Burdak's orders. He asked Randu to do that to see if her bones has returned to normal.Randu did as she was asked, she moved her legs and she could move normally without any pain. Then she lifted her leg until her upper thigh saw…nothing strange there, exactly the same as before.Burdak cleared his throat. Randu looked up with raised eyebrows at him. Even though it is already very dark now… she could see Burdak staring at her very intensely."When you're healed, get up quickly…put on your clothes…we'll find a place to spend the night!&rdq
Burdak felt what happened is a very difficult thing. He is quite shocked by what had happened to his wife at the summit with Rames. For a year, Rames has not been a bloodthirsty being… even if he doesn't like someone, he will throw him out…or ignore him. Not with what happened to Randu.When Rames said he would give the time in ten counts, and he would attack Randu… Burdak felt that his wife's life is on the brink. He knew what Rames is like and his powers. He is the most powerful werewolf he knew, and Rames never lost.At the start of the count, Burdak coded with his eyes, hoping that Rames would see…he wanted to talk to the man telepathically…but Rames refused. Rames scolded him while he attacked Randu. Burdak remembers everything.'You better choose someone else...''She will only bring trouble, and hassle.''If you love your pack… it's better if she dies here. So that if she still holds a grudge…
The fog came, Burdak's heart rumbled, he remembered what had happened to him a few years ago, the incident that made him reluctant to enter this forest again. Randu is already beside him, sitting down and holding her big toe which had hit the wood. While Burdak watched warily what is happening before his eyes. The fog is very dense, but strangely from where he is standing… everything is clear. Half of the logs are covered in mist… and the view of the moss forest is nowhere to be seen. He prayed silently, nothing would happen.Randu pulled her leg, seeking attention. Perhaps she thought she is still not allowed to speak, indeed Burdak had not told her that they had passed through the moss forest. They entered an area called Pine-five. Why is it called like that..because along this area can only live as many as five pine trees? It can't be less and it can't be more. Each tree is hundreds of meters away from one another. Burdak raised Randu's hand to help him up. H
Burdak invited Randu back into the forest behind their cabin. It felt like Randu's whole body is sticky and itchy, she wants to take a quick shower.. she becomes addicted to the sensation of washing her body with clean and cold water, whereas in her village before… she only bathed when she saw a clean river. Randu took one of the arrows and positioned it in a ready state. They are still slowly advancing. They can't make a loud sound if they don't want their prey to run away. Burdak also walked slowly, his eyes alert…and paying attention to the situation. They walked for some time and they heard footsteps from their left. The two of them are silent, and look at the origin of the voice. A deer. Maybe this place has a lot of deer population. "I'll give you one arrow… if you fail… tonight is your turn to fetch water until the water tank in the bathroom is full." whispered Burdak. Randu nodded and swallowed her saliva. This is a very stressful challenge. S
