After everything that happened recently, Jack became curious as he felt that there were more incidents of the Jackrixis acting differently.
"System, are they okay? Why are they being...I don't know nicer?"-Jack
[]Well, host they are not necessarily nice they are simply following their emotions and what they feel is right[]
[]This is how all cultures start. One or two people believe in something or do something, and others will follow if they like it. That's what's happening[]
[]Like how the now dead blue as you called her gave her knowledge to the young to continue what she began[]
[]It's the same with the wolf killer after a hard-fought battle it showed respect for its kill and took a trophy to remember it[]
[]I know that a lot of restrictions have been put on you host, but some things need to be allowed to happen like the curation of cultures and beliefs[]
[]We can't just wait until they get to the tribe stage, and then they get everything at once, or it would be mayhem[]
[]They are living creatures who are trying to see and understand the world they've been put in and are getting smarter the longer they're here[]
[]They won't be robots, they will die, and they may do things that repulse you, but in the end, that's how they evolve and change.
In the end, you made them in the hopes of them being hunters, but that doesn't mean they don't have the same emotions as you even if slightly different[]
"...."-Jack
"I'm gonna just go watch them for a bit. Talk to you in a bit"-Jack
Now, out of that weird situation, a young female Jackrixis was currently eating some berries that were edible when she saw something strange.
Not far from her, a male Rixis was going into the water, and she was confused as to why before realizing he didn't come back up after a few seconds.
She was confused as to why he was trying to get himself killed and couldn't understand the point of it, but it wasn't her problem.
She continued munching on some sweet berries until two minutes later. The male came out of the water with a fish in his hand while he was finishing eating another.
This shocked her, not even knowing they could hold their breath that long, which showed that the Jackrixis still didn't know what the limits were.
The male noticed her as he was shaking the water off as she made her way towards him slowly they both watched each other, wondering if the other would attack.
When there were a few meters between, they both just waited while on edge, and the female decided to make the first move gesturing towards the water.
Then, she pointed to the fish in his hands. This happened a few times before the male got the idea but wasn't sure. If he should teach her, as he intends to give his knowledge to his children as his ancestors did, and this was a stranger who he wasn't sure was friendly.
This went on for 3 days before he finally relented and brought her under it was hard at first since she was scared of drowning.
However, she quickly realized she could hold her breath comfortably for 5 minutes, which was decent for someone underwater for the first time.
She then followed the male's lead and sank to the bottom and stayed still for 4 minutes so the fish would come back from the disruption.
This, however, left a small period of a minute to catch anything to eat and get out before passing out and drowning.
They had to try a few times before getting it right, and then she could do it on her own this led to them becoming closer. As they saw each other more they became mates and would soon be helping create the 5th generation and continue to pass on the knowledge learned.
In another part of the biomes in the desert, a group of five wolves looked hungrily at two Jackrixis from a dune they were hiding in and watched their prey.
The two rixis were male and female who decided after battling to become mates. Currently sitting down and eating the prey they caught.
They did not see the wolves and would soon have to face a battle they might not win just before they could start a family.
"Damn it, these wolves aren't gonna give me a break. I was lucky the last Rixis managed to kill that lone wolf, but that was a one-off and probably was shunned from the pack."-Jack
It was hard to say if it was good or bad, but the wolves waited till night, which allowed the two Rixis to finish the meal and heal up some wounds.
But that also meant they would find it harder to spot and track the wolves at night and would be tired from the day's work.
The sunset and so did the nooses around the Rixis necks as the wolves slowly etched towards the male who was on watch while the female slept. He felt that something strange was happening he could hear some sounds but couldn't tell what it was, but one thing was for certain, which was that there was something out there, and it was stalking them in the surrounding area, and he didn't know what it was.
He quickly woke up the female and didn't need to tell her what was happening she sprang up readying herself for a fight.
Sadly, they couldn't see the enemy, but for some reason, the Rixis felt they were being watched, and it wasn't just from one place.
Strange howls and growls got closer, but still, all the Rixis saw was darkness as sadly they had not gotten fire yet.
So they didn't know the taste of cooked food but also the more important part right now was seeing in the dark what was hunting them.
One thing is for sure, they would be fighting for their lives.
