The first day was mostly spent on traveling. We had an early morning breakfast and started moving shortly after. I killed a bunch of bears on our way to the den but at so point a quick break to sit down for a mont, and grab a snack sounded really great, so I just stopped.
I ate with Ki'rei, but she seed more interested in sothing entirely different. She wanted to fight but wasn't saying a thing, although her actions spoke louder than words. She kept bumping on or poking with her elbow. Glaring at like angry kiddo.
I finished my al first, then sighed heavily.
- If you want sothing, you need to say it - I said and created myself a short baton out of void essence, and stood up.
She imdiately beca all lively, and took her knife out.
- I want to spar!
- I know. Show what you got.
She lowered herself a bit and started to approach . Her movent was careful, calm. Eyes sharp, looking for an opening. I probably had plenty of those, as I didn't assu any stance, just stood out there knowing that I can just shadow walk to safety if she attacks.
She did. She suddenly charged at , aiming at my leg. I swung the baton, to stop her more than hit, but she rolled on the ground, closing the distance, and avoiding the hit. She tried to stab my foot, but the knife ended up piercing the ground, as I got the hell out of there.
She imdiately jumped on her feet to look for . I was standing between the carts, waiting for her. She started to circle around, but I shadow walked again, behind her, and before she managed to turn, I poked her back with the baton.
- You're dead.
She stumbled and fell on her side, but quickly picked herself up.
- No I'm not!
- Look at yourself. I just stabbed you in the back. There is blood everywhere.
She puffed her cheeks, while still looking straight at .
- So tis you win, sotis you lose - I said, and let my temporary weapon disappear. - Let's try again tomorrow.
With those words I made my shadows start walking again. We were on the move until the evening when we reached the right stop to set up the camp. After a short al, we both went to sleep. Ki'rei cuddled to in her chicken form.
The next day after eating, I went to the den and utilized the usual tactic. The third variation of bears was a bit difficult, as usual, but I managed to kill them too without major problems.
Then my shadows started a long process of picking up the crystals. When I finally returned, she was already waiting, with the knife at the ready.
- Let rest a bit, then we can fight. Aren't you hungry?
She nodded and put the weapon away. We ate, and I sat under a tree for a while. She on the other hand started training, cutting the imaginary enemies. She was relentless, but eventually tired herself out, and sat next to . I put my arm around her and pulled her closer.
- I'm hungry - she said.
I sighed and stood up, to bring her sothing to eat. After around an hour of rest, she was ready to pick where we left yesterday.
We stood against each other, a bit away from the carts, with gigantic trees all around. She with a curved knife in her hand, and I with a club created out of void essence. We stared down at each other, like the cowboys in western, although it wasn't high noon, but rather almost evening.
She moved first. Rushing in a straight line. I wanted to allow her to attack , but knowing her weapon might be dangerous to , I reinforced myself with everything I had, except shadow fusion.
She suddenly jumped, throwing a handful of sand straight into my eyes. A move I didn't expect. I didn't even notice her preparing such a surprise.
I closed my eyes for a second, swinging the club at the sa ti, to knock the knife out of her hand, and turning my entire body, to move out of her way. I didn't hit anything, but she actually managed to scratch . I imdiately repositioned with a shadow walk.
- You wanna play dirty, huh? Fine by .
She let out a short battle cry and charged again. I just put a strong barrier right in front of her. She hit it, and bounced off, landing on her back.
- How your own dicine taste? - I said and used shadow walk, to get closer, and pin her down with my knee.
She tried to stab , but I grabbed her hand. In terms of raw strength, she had no chances. She still tried though and growled at , then punched my leg a few tis with her free hand.
,m - I win, you lose, but it was a clever tactic. Good job - I stepped back, releasing her.
She imdiately jumped on her feet.
- You are so an - she said.
- Said sobody who almost stabbed . I have to heal myself now...
- I would never stab you! I just scratched you!
I focused on her for a mont and quickly healed myself. Her words seed genuine, which was interesting information. Was she as fond of , as I was fond of her?
- Let's stop for today, and continue tomorrow.
- I wouldn't stab you!
- Ok, fine, I believe you. Co here...
She slowly walked closer to , and I just hugged her.
- I believe you, so don't be angry, ok?
- I'm not angry.
I sighed. She was so damn stubborn, that arguing with her was pointless, so I just patted her on the head, and went to eat sothing more, before going to sleep. She joined for so dried fruits. Then we crawled under a cart, and as I turned on my back, she shifted into her Tam-Ki'rei version and snuggled closer.
The day ca to an end with 3 390 350 points remaining on my account, forty-two class points, and 578 bear crystals on my cart.
