Communication

The moment he got back home, he noticed that his brothers were still sitting there around the fire. As he came close to them, they instantly parted a way for him at the head of the circle.

Looking around John grabbed a couple of twigs before sharpening them and handing it out to his brothers.

He grabbed one of the sharpened twigs before piercing it through a corpse and started roasting it. His brother followed suit piercing the twigs into the corpse and roasting it over the fire.

Looking at his brothers, he was quite satisfied with how they were already. Now he had to think of a plan for shelter, the sun had already started to fall. And it would not take long for night to descend.

It looked like he had a couple more hours left before night descended. For the time they had left he should teach his brothers how to communicate. He wanted them to learn how to communicate before taking them out for hunting.

The moment his brothers had stopped eating the two lizards, he came upon a fatal problem.

The raw meat would rot badly, he wasn't sure if they would be consumable by tomorrow. Deciding it was better to eat the food than waste, and seeing his brother's eager faces, he gave them the go-ahead to eat the other lizards.

When his brother and he had finished devouring the lizards. He faced his brother and tried communicating with them through sign language.

He felt that it was an easier way for them to communicate than actually telling them to speak.

He was quite adept in sign language being a civil engineer in his past life, he had a lot of clients that were disabled and being a communicator was quite important for the job.

And it was quite a success, his brother for whatever reason were extremely adaptable they were able to pick up sign language like it was nothing and it took them only an hour or two.

By the time night was descending, he was able to get across to each and every one of his brothers.

If anyone had stumbled into this clearing at the border of the forest. The would have been dumbfounded at the sight of little imp-like creatures making hand signs at each other.

[Brother, we should probably get ready for rest.]

Looking at Goliath, John was quite happy at the recent development. His brothers truly did learn really fast, they were able to understand human concepts like rest and brother. Though John did put in a lot of effort in his part. He was truly awed by the capabilities of his brothers.

"Yes, we should get ready," he signed back heading for the fire. By now the fire had already been reduced to embers the wood had already been consumed. John stepped on the fire, ending the last remains of the fire.

Then along with the rest of his brothers, they huddled together next to the spawning hole and for the first time in a long time, John felt at peace along with the rest of his brothers. With determination, he decided that as long as he lives, he would make sure that he and his brother would live.

It did not take long for him to fall asleep huddled together they looked like a red mound.

Roar

Roar

Roar

Waking up in alarm along with the rest of his brother. John was taken by alarm at the loud roars he was hearing from a distance. The area was pitch black, but surprisingly he could see like it was in the morning.

[Brother, what was that.] Goliath signed him alarmingly.

"I don't know, but I'm happy that we put at the fire. In this pitch black night we would be a prime target for any beast," John signed back.

"Let's just go back to sleep.," he told the rest of his brothers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waking up, John felt oddly refreshed. He stood up and due to his habit in his past life, John started stretching. Hearing weird grunts from behind him, John turned around to witness the strange sight of his brothers imitating him.

After signing for them to stop. John directed all of them and they headed for the forest. This time the moment he entered the forest with his brothers. He could see the lizards eating the colored berries on the numerous bushes in the forest.

The lizard noticing them instantly disappeared. Turning around to face them, he signaled to them that the lizard was the food.

Going to the bush that the lizard was before. He grabbed a berry. Turning around to look at his brothers.

"The lizards seem to eat this berries as fruit. Looking at them we should be able to eat them too. It also seems that we can use them to lure out the lizards." John told them.

He started signaling for them to go and collect as many berries as the could find. His brothers had already sprung into action grabbing as many berries as they could from the surrounding bushes.

As John was absorbing them he noticed their inefficiency. His brothers were constantly dropping the berries, looking around, he noticed the giant trees around. He could see that the trees had gigantic looking leaves.

Forming an idea, John used his energy by directing it to his arm and punching one of the trees with all he got. Instantly the tree started to make creaking noises. John's fist had completely gone through the tree. From there it did not take long for the tree to fall down.

Going to the crown of the tree. He grabbed some of its leaves. The leaf was quite huge as big as two of his hand. Signaling for his brother to grab the leaves, he put some berries inside the concave part of the leaf and taking it back to the spawning hole.

It did not take long for them to make a sizable pile of berries. Deciding that they had gathered enough berries, John signed to his brothers to go back home to think of their next plan of action.
