The Moon Tribe II

Cedric would be in charge of looking for food, I looked for wood for the fire with his indications, then I made a circle of several rocks so that the flame of the fire would not get out of control and would not generate chaos in the forest, Cedric preferred to bathe after looking for some edible plants and some rich salmon, the horses stayed near me, I rested my body and my eyes but I could not sleep as such I heard many voices, I dreamed with luck and how I calmed down in my sleep.

I woke up somewhat agitated since I did not understand the screams, as it was not yet dawn I saw the surroundings and I felt observed not only by nocturnal animals but other beings that still could not rest in peace, I got up in silence and remembered an old ritual where with prayers and a flame light a portal was created that only those who wanted to rest in peace could see.

I felt how little by little my hands became warm and I noticed how the firelight danced without any wind, until after being still for a few seconds the breeze came back and the forest felt less tense and heavy.

It was already dawning so I decided not to sleep and take a quick bath in the river to be more awake, as I felt cold from the bath I decided to use the coat that Andina gave me to warm up, the horses ate grass and the Aves seeds I still had, we ate bread and a glass of milk that I had left in a thermos that Paula gave me some time ago; we continued on foot for the horses to take more strength.

Near nightfall we reached the end of the forest and decided to walk a little more, we did take short breaks but I wanted us to be closer so we walked a little more, late at night the birds were already sleeping, Thunder looked at me from time to time while he could still hold on, we reached a waterfall with some high mountains.

The forest was very illuminated not only by the moon but also by the fireflies that illuminated a large part of the path and the waterfall, we filled the thermos with water for the rest of the way and we went back to refresh ourselves, after placing fire for the firewood and lighting it Cedric calls me and guides me that by the path to the left we would be a little more in the forest but we would arrive in the morning if we continued in a while.

So that's what we did, we rested about 3 hours and resumed the road, and near morning we were arriving, I could see how there were mountains of all heights and were full of pine trees and shrubs somewhat high yellow with brown leaves and other very green like pine, and the whole center a wall made of wood but very strong with 2 guard towers and in the center 2 large doors, I was exhausted and as he should enter alone, I decided to put me in a place not too far away or too close to wait for him with Thunder and the Birds.

Cedric hugs me tightly and tells me he won't be long, I nodded and mounted Licht while he was on his way to his village, I decided to explore a little, I saw some trees loaded with mangoes, so I climbed a little and lowered a ripe mango, I looked for one of my daggers and cut it into slices, one was for the Birds, one for Thunder and one for me, so I helped Thunder with the piece of mango and after that I ate mine with pleasure, where I was I could see the firm and large land having partly nearby fruits such as mango and avocado.
