Heavenly Forest Wolf 32 Chapter 32 - Creation

The whelp, which Zaro had come to know as 'Draaklar' was fortunately very informed about the world and its history. From what Zaro understood, there are many continents in world divided by vast oceans that can't be crossed normally. The current continent which they resided in was known as the 'Ikha Continent' and from Draaklar's experience, its the weakest when comparing the creatures that inhabit it to others.

Draaklar had only managed to visit three continents during his long life, those being Ikha, Kalimar, and Oagas with Kalimar being the most dangerous continent he had ever been to despite being born there.

Zaro had never felt so insignificant and powerless in his life as he thought about all of the creatures that were apparently stronger than Draaklar and then became extremely scared when he remembered that the crane's now deceased master had the potential to destroy the world.

After telling him a bit about the world, he then delved into the various calamities in the world, specifically Orne, one of the strongest creatures in the world which had existed since the dawn of the world.

He was one of the first awoken races, however, unlike other 'Creation Pillars' he was the only one that sp.a.w.ned making him the sole member of his race. Creation pillars were large stone monuments with a species or race's genetics and attributes engraved in the form of 'symbols'. They can be awaken by deciphering the symbols and reading them aloud, sp.a.w.ning a certain amount of ent.i.ties.

Suddenly, a thought came to Zaro's head and he immediately asked if he had seen any humanoid figures and described the race's features. Draaklar thought for a moment and then shuddered slightly before responding to him.

There was no race that he saw that fitted the description but apparently the description resembled Orne quite eerily. The only difference was that Orne resembled more of a beast due to his eyes, teeth and beard that Zaro guessed was similar to a Lion's. Regardless, the similarity was quite horrifying and Draaklar couldn't help asking how Zaro knew about the race.

Zaro chuckled nervously but luckily didn't have to respond because the woman on his back had opened up her eyes and mumbled some incomprehensible words groggily.

"You're awake! Thank goodness how do you feel?!" Zaro asked while ignoring Draaklar which was still curious as to how Zaro knew of a race similar to Orne's appearance.

She lifted herself up and rubbed her eye before speaking, "I am fine, simply exhausted... I just remembered... there is something I must give you, Wolf." Zaro got really excited and figured it was time to get his rewards for fending off the three cranes.

"Since only two of the three cranes had been eliminated you may only receive two of the three rewards... do not worry, you will receive your final reward once the final crane eventually pa.s.ses."

Zaro whined slightly but since beggars can't be choosers, he didn't push it and waited patiently as she summoned the Demoness' Enchanted Darkness Pill and the Empowered Sapphire Core. When the two items were summoned, Draaklar suddenly approached the Pill with curiosity.

"This pill... can only be forged in the continent of Kalimar, where I came to existence... you must consume it before your awakening, or else the after effects will potentially kill you or your body will become possessed by the demon."

Zaro looked at the pill with hesitation before facing the woman, "Wolf, whatever you choose to do from now, I hope it is with the intent of becoming stronger... I must leave as I have some errands to run for my previous master... Draaklar, where will you go?"

Draaklar stared at the ground in thought and then looked up at her, "I will evolve my core in the Ikha Continent before returning back to my homeland, there is still a threat of calamity there and I must gather my race to defeat it."

The woman nodded her head and then looked at Zaro with pity, "If only you knew of the dangers that existed in this world... what do you choose to do? Perhaps I could guide you in the right direction..."

Zaro had so many ideas and thoughts in his head, however, he suddenly had an idea which seemed a little odd, "I would like you to point me to the nearest Creation Pillar..."

The woman and Draaklar looked at each other wide eyed, "You wish to attempt activating one?" she asked with a tinge of excitement.

"I may have deciphered symbols in the past... I feel rather confident..."

"If that is so... please," she paused for a moment and transformed into her crane form and turned away from him and knelt down before continuing, "Awaken the Creation Pillar of my own race..."

"Yizar, after traveling my whole life, I always wondered if we could truly create our own settlement... if what happened in the past was a mere unintentional disaster."

"Listen Tauren, we simply cannot take the risk..."

"But didn't you tell me a countless amount of times that when I make a mistake, I should learn from it and move on?!" he snapped back at Yizar stunning him.

"That concept doesn't apply here! What has gotten into you in the first place?! Why are you spouting all of this stupidity?!"

Tauren went silent but oddly enough, Gerald appeared from the side and answered for him, "He, just as I are sick of running... that beast you spoke of, something of that size would easily exterminate us! By moving around endlessly, we are just delaying the inevitable!"

At this point, the rest of the nomads stopped walking and faced the three, unsure of what to say but stared at Yizar eager to know his response.

"That..." however, before he could speak again, he was cut off by Tauren.

"When we were attacked by that terrifying boar, what did we do?! After eliminating it, we fortified ourselves and prevented something from killing us while we gathered our strength! If you think about it, shouldn't we do the same so that we can protect ourselves from other creatures?!"

"Or those rabbits that we captured and placed them in cages! Wouldn't it be better if we could cultivate them and distribute them among all of us continuously?" Gerald added while raising his voice while Yizar looked at Tara for support.

"They aren't wrong Yizar, for so long I had wish to store all of my herbs and flowers some place but since we are constantly on the move... it's impossible..."

Yizar was speechless and turned to the rest of the nomads which were giving him the same desperate expression.

"We spend countless hours travelling a day... and because of that I can't even train myself to become stronger..." Oken said, limping as he approached them.

Yizar was quite surprised, it wasn't just idiotic nonsense... everyone had shared the same thought and Yizar couldn't deny thinking the same too at times, could it be... a revival of the Aelfs?
