The night passed, and the day arrived. The man woke up after a long sleep, yawned, and looked around. His sister was still sleeping. He decided not to disturb her and went outside for fresh air. He had to prepare food for today, so he decided to make a bow. Some animals were way faster than him, and he didn't want to lose his prey.
After making a bow & arrows out of wood and stone, he decided to hunt some animals. He had his bow in his hand and a spear behind his back. While strolling around with his guard up, he noticed something quickly. Just some 50-100 meters away, he saw a small herd of aurochs. He quickly assessed the environment and went back to his cave. He returned with a big sharp stone and started to dig around a big tree. The aurochs, unaware of this, were grazing around. He left one spot for him to climb the tree. After climbing the tree, he took out his bow and aimed towards an auroch's eye. His accuracy was very good, and the arrow pierced the auroch's eye, reaching the brain and killing it instantly.
Other aurochs instantly got alarmed and rushed towards the direction where the arrow came from. However, they were not aware of the traps laid by the man. Rushing blindly, all the aurochs fell into the pit. The man slowly killed every auroch by attacking their vital points.
After this, he returned to the cave and noticed that his sister was awake. He waved his hand in a gesture for her to follow him. His sister immediately followed him to the place where lots of aurochs' dead bodies were laid inside the pit. He gestured to her to do what he does. He found a tree, broke its vines, and tied them up, making a very tight rope. He then tried to tie something up and showed it to her sister. His sister understood what she had to do. After making the rope tighter, they both went near the pit where the dead bodies were. His sister jumped inside the pit, and the man threw one end of the rope inside. His sister immediately tied as many aurochs' legs as she could. The man tied up thicker ropes behind to extend its reach. After tying up all the aurochs' legs, he pulled the rope, dragging the bodies of aurochs outside the pit.
After taking out all the bodies of the aurochs, he again threw the rope inside the pit so that his sister could climb up and come out. He then tied all the bodies with the rope, carried it behind his back, and dragged it along the way to the cave. It was evening, and they stored it deep inside the cave after smoking the meat with fire. They were having their dinner when suddenly they heard some footsteps. The man immediately picked up his bow, and it was a group of other injured Neanderthals. The others, noticing the man with the bow aimed towards them, got shocked and opened their hands and waved, gesturing they didn't mean harm. Looking at their entire bodies covered in herbal leaves, he decided that they meant no harm and approached them. He asked several questions in a gesture, to which they replied back with gesture as well. While asking them questions, his expression was getting serious.
After asking some questions, he got to know that they were wanderers, roaming around for food, shelter, and other resources. On how they got injuries? They were roaming around in the nearby forest when suddenly they entered a completely new biome. All the trees were burning, and there were strange creatures they had never seen before. On the ground, in the air, and in water, everywhere, there were strange creatures they were seeing for the first time, despite having huge experience and knowledge about animals after exploring the entire continent's biomes and nature, etc. Their curiosity got the better of them, and they decided to explore deeper despite being scared of the strange animals. Suddenly they noticed a huge column standing straight on the ground, so tall that they couldn't even look at the top of it as it was covered with clouds. After approaching a little bit closer, suddenly, one person in front of them got hit by an unknown fire, and his entire body started to burn as he screamed for help. Some of the men and women tried to throw water from the animal bladder they had collected after killing some animals, but before the fire could be extinguished, the man died. The other men and women were now completely scared and looked at each other in worry. Finally, they decided to run away.
But suddenly, another woman trips, and her head gets pierced by a sharp stone. The stone pierced her eyes and passed through her head, and she died instantly. The others were now more scared than ever, witnessing two deaths of their own in front of them. They tried to run away, but slowly and slowly, one by one, everyone was dying. A giant branch fell over a man and woman's head, and their heads got crushed with all their brain and blood splattered everywhere. They tried to run without looking back. Suddenly, another woman burned to death, but they still ran straight forward without looking back. They couldn't hear the moans of men and women in pain and suffering before death as they wanted their own lives. The remaining men and women, consisting of 3 men and 2 women, survived with a lot of injuries and got out of the biome. They couldn't express their feelings in words, but they mentally cursed the place as their friends and family members died in it. They were too injured and took a few hours before they got their stamina back. Now, they were groaning in pain, with all the wounds still not being cured. The men went to find medicine for themselves and the women, while the women were collecting fruits like Prunus armeniaca, Rubus idaeus, Cucumis melo, Malus sieversii, Pyrus pyraster, etc. They roamed around everywhere to find food and resources until they saw a trail of smoke coming from a distant place. They immediately rushed there to see what it was and found a cave. They were already hungry and thought that someone was cooking something with fire. They entered the cave and found the man with the bow aiming towards them, and the story ends here.
Knowing the near threat, the man with the bow decided this was not a safe place for them to stay at. He looked back at his sister, who was still eating cooked meat happily. He didn't want her to get hurt; hence, he decided that she should go to another continent as a safe option. He gestured to the other men and women to take a nap until tomorrow. As for his plan for tomorrow, he had decided to enter the biome himself to check how dangerous the place is.
As another day arrived, the man with the bow woke up before everyone and went outside the cave. He started to prepare for others' safety, knowing that where he was going was beyond others' capabilities, as they were injured. Bringing others would just increase the number of people who might die. But first of all, he brought out the stored meat he had preserved by smoking so it wouldn't spoil. He then cooked them and waited until others woke up as he would prepare to explore after they left this continent so it wouldn't make his sister sad.
After the other 3 men, 2 women, and his sister woke up, he instructed them to build a boat, big and sturdy enough to sail through any possibility. Though he wished nothing like that happened to them on their voyage.
After a lot of days, they had forged a friendly bond, and also, the day when they had successfully crafted the giant boat had arrived. They spent a lot of time hunting, crafting, etc. The man with the bow asked the survivors about the information and description of whatever happened out there in more detail. As they told him about all the incidents that had occurred while they were running away, he nodded while understanding everything. The sister was confused about what was going on when her big brother didn't board the boat. The man with the bow patted her head and gestured that he had some work to do. When his work would be finished, he would come to visit her and bring her a souvenir. After understanding his intentions, his little sister got happy. After others stocked the ship with aurochs meat, since they were smoked with fire, they wouldn't spoil anytime soon. While others were stocking up supplies, the man with the bow secretly gestured to her to remember something, which was a mix of different gestures. She didn't understand it completely, but because it was told by her big brother, she tried to memorize it by repeatedly doing it in her mind and practically.
Now that the supplies were stocked, everyone waved towards the man with the bow as the boat set sail.
And now, what's left was his preparation for him to enter the biome and check for himself what this mysterious place was that had killed so many people.
