"Beastn naturally co up with their own nas when they reach adulthood. So we had to rule out the notion of giving them nas." Caden said as he looked at the well lined up pups. Even the unruly juveniles were in their respective lines.
Numbers are more convenient but thats also a little tricky. Anyway, numbers will do. Let’s number them from the oldest to the youngest." Scott ca to the hall grounds and joined the others.
Sydney was busy with the malnourished cubs who were eagerly putting forward their little heads to receive pats from her.
The naming begun and the eldest of the gathered little ones was seventeen years, almost eighteen. They were around sixteen of them.
You guys go stand at the side. You’ll he evaluated and we’ll see what to do for you." Ash instricted them and they nodded obediently.
Caden and Ken went to et the warriors the king’s had sent forward to help out wirh the cubs. It was awkward for those warriors but they looked forward to this work.
The classification begun from those that were fifteen and below. They got their numbers and each age group was assigned to a different teacher who was in charge of them.
Sydney returned to Scott’s side and looked at the big skin booklet in his hands and sighed. "What lessons are there for them to learn?" she asked.
Scott drew his attention to her and sighed. "It’s not much. I chose intense hunting lessons, learning different herbs that can help with wounds for unforeseen circumstances and female charming." Scott ended with a grin.
Sydney looked at Scott speechlessly. "Did you knock your head or sothing?" she glared at him and plucked his notebook from him and cancelled out that silly lesson. "You are a doctor but don’t seem to know what’s good for your patients!" she rumbled as she looked through the other lessons.
"Hey! That took ages to co up with!" Scott grieved over his loss.
"Seems like big brother’s brains have been fired to crisp! They need love! What femael charming?"
"Isn’t that love?" Scott looked at Sydney like she had grown a third head.
Sydney was so angry that she ran away from him. There was no use talking to him. She walked to the back of the dinning area where the kitchen had been established. A few beastn were busy with their work and none of them sulked off.
They were preparing the first of the day and or was basically milk and at. Then lunch would be at alone.
Huh? Milk? Where was this much coming from? She wondered and walked over.
The beastn there had already noticed her but they didn’t even dare look up at her.
Sydney who had walked up to them in hopes of having small talk. "...."
She was smart enough not to talk to them and only walked around till she ca to where the ’milk was being manufactured from’ She was stunned once again!
Before her was around fifty buffaloes stretching from one corner of her eye to the other. They were locked in a shade and the beastn with red faces had access to their udders. No matter how she looked at this, it felt extrely wrong!
Where the heck did they get these many?! And weren’t buffaloes extrely aggressive when startled? She didn’t know what to say but greatly admired her mates courage!
No wonder so much milk could be produced on the first day. Her one cow back at ho couldn’t possibly feed all these malnourished cubs. She wanted to ask questions but knew everything was well maintained with Scott’s tilicous plans.
What she didn’t know was that this was actually Ash’s plan amd he had personally implented it in his own only to share it with Scott once everything was in place. Even Scott was shocked that he didn’t even dare ask questions but that didn’t an he begun to have suspicions towards Ash. How did he know the world’s style of handling things if he hadn’t been there before?!
By around midday, everything was already set and Sydney was so tired from walking around and helping at the different miscellaneous tasks. She only sat her butt down when it was ti for the al.
"Wow...I’m so tired I could die!" she exclaid to herself but in no second was she surrounded by her worry sick husbands. "What’s up?" she asked them.
Ken looked up to the sky in confusion. "The sky!" he comnted leaving everyone speechless.
Caden laughed and ignored the stupid Ken. Do your limbs hur" Caden asked as he went on his knees to check on her legs. He pulled out her for legs from the skin boots only to find that her white legs had been ’cooked’ till they were wrinkly. He frowned.
The other also saw the state of her feet and their faces contured. Before Sydney could explain, Ken had bolted from the place and imdiately returned with Scott handing off his shoulder. "Sorry! But Sydney is dying!!!" He apologized after throwing him before their mate so that he could check up on her.
Scott who had been thrown down. "....." He turned to glare at Ken but his face was directed at Sydney’s feet by Titan’s harsh grip.
"What’s with you?!" He really couldn’t bare this manhandling. This was pure humiliation.
"Sydney’s dying! Won’t you take a look?" Ken was the most impatient. While he really doted on Sydney and angered her to death whenever he had the chance, he couldn’t stand her dying and leaving him behind before he was able to provide his ability in bed. After that episode in bed, he had beco the laughing stock in the family and he was only glad that this matter wasn’t exposed to the public.
Scott who had finally gotten a chance to catch his breath couldn’t help but hiss at Ken. "We will settle this score later!" he promised and shifted to see what was killing Sydney.
Caden made way for him while handing him Sydney’s ’cooked feet’.
Scott took over but as soon as he looked at her feet, he was so angry that he almost fainted!
He turned shades of colour and Ken almost mistook him for a chaleon beastman!
Scott let out a puff of air from his nostrils to calm down and shifted his icy grey eyes to his sister.
"I did not get the chance to tell them that it was nothing!!" Sydney defended herself.
"And where the heck did they get the idea that you were dying? I know they are stupid and it must have been you rumbling!" He pinched her feet to vent his anger turning the skin green.
The n who had been called stupid. "....."
"I feel your feet are not cooked well enough! Why don’t I bring you to serve as a saddle in my kitchen??"
Ken growled at Scott who wanted to ’cook’ their female.
"Do you know wolfsbane?" Scott glared at Ken who imdiately shut up.
’who wanted to co into contact with that devil plant!!!’
Ash sighed seeing Scott wasn’t being serious. It only ant it was not life threatening but he had indeed felt his heart leap from his mouth the mont she said that!
Lucky for them, they had Scott around amd he was more efficient than the city witch master!
Scott stood up and looked at Sydney resentfully. "Why co out with closed shoes in this heat? Are you that stupid?" he asked with a frown and turned to Ash who was the most reliable.
"Make her shoes that leve her feet out. Co back to my place and I’ll show you how to!" he said with a soft smile.
"I understand." Ash agreed and looked back at Sydney..He was also happy to learn that it was nothing false alarm!

Shawn ran for a while till he reached a stream where he stopped to drink so water but as he took gulps, he sensed that he was being followed? Or was it another beast in the vicinity minding their own business?
When they had first co to visit the herbivore beastn, they had learnt that this group suffered from a stray settlent not far from here. To agree to trade their plants with them, they had wiped out all the stray settlents both big and small bringing comfort to these grass eating beastn.
This also wasn’t a place other beastn would co to hunt knowing it was close to the herbivore tribes.
He stopped drinking water and raised his snout up in the air to sniff but the forest went silent. His hair stood on end and before his brain could process, he had jumped away from his initial spot avoiding a cruel attack.
He was already far from the city of beasts and his howl wouldn’t reach that far!
Seems like he was on his own!
But who was this and why were they targeting him?
