Swoosh!
Norrak ran towards the half-dead Arc Hen, and he dodged past it before pulling the spear out from the snow with a bit of pause due to how deep it was in the snow.
Spinning around, Norrak stabbed the spearhead into the chest of the Arc Hen. The sound of flesh being pierced by the spear was disgusting, but Norrak pushed through it with a firm expression.
Bang!
Using the spear stuck in the chicken's chest, Norrak lifted it into the air and smashed it down heavily; the struggling body of the Arc Hen finally stopped moving.
[+20%]
Suddenly, Norrak stopped, shocked by an unexpected sensation in his body. At that moment, his bodily functions increased by 20%. His fatigue from running vanished, replaced instead by a sense of calm.
'What was that? Can I get stronger by killing enemies? Or is it just animals?' Norrak thought as he pulled the spear out from the chicken's chest, causing a spurt of blood to paint the white snow a deep red.
Steam rose from the snow as the hot blood melted it, and a stench rose into the air from the blood. Norrak, Sokka and Katara lifted the bird and ran away.
If they stayed longer, then the smell of blood would definitely attract a predator, and they would be screwed if a Polar Bear Dog suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Let's go before another animal appears!" Norrak said as he helped Sokka carry the chicken. The snow under their boots compressed, leaving their footprints as they ran.
Meanwhile, a couple of kilometres away, a massive polar bear that easily eclipsed a polar bear from Earth was trotting without a direction. Its size was easily as large as a small truck.
Its nose twitched, and a hungry growl erupted from its stomach as it suddenly began running. Its speed was not slow at all, easily reaching a running speed of 50 kph.
The ground shook with each step the polar bear took, its red eyes glowed with a hungry look, ready to devour anything that it could get its massive maw on.
Back with the trio, they soon reached the ice village with the Arc Hne, and everyone in front of the small town was waiting with worry. The moment Kanna and the others saw the three carrying a massive Arc Hen, they smiled.
But they mostly smiled because the three were not injured at all from this little endeavour for food. Kanna stepped forward, and she smiled as she reached out and ruffled Norrak's hair.
"Good job, Norrak, Sokka and Katara. You can leave the Arc Hen inside the ice storage so it doesn't get bad. Also, Katara and Norrak, come with me for a second," Kanna said, turning around to walk into her tent.
Norrak and Katara nodded, leaving the Arc hen in Sokka's hand alone. The weight suddenly increased, pulling Sokka into the ground, his palms under the heavy body of the Arc Hen.
"Argh! You two should really not drop things without attention!" Sokka shouted after his sister and Norrak. His face red as he lifted the body of the Arc hen.
Katara and Norrak followed Kanna, their eyes locked with each other as they smiled. Norrak reached out and took Katara's palm into his, the warmth of his arm warming Katara's own.
Entering Kanna's tent, the older woman sat down on her chair and then reached behind her to take two objects from her pouch. Norrak and Katara watched, their eyes widening at the sight.
In Kanna's hand were two silver objects, each of which had some writing on it. One had Katara's name on it, and one had Norrak's name written on the inside of the object.
Kanna smiled as she saw the emotions on Katara's and Norrak's faces change from shock to excitement. She reached out her palm, and the two let her take hold of their palms with a smile.
"This ring was created by Hakoda, Kya and me. We carved it out of our most precious metal, silver. The rings glow under a full moon, and form now on it's yours," Kanna said, handing the ring into their open palms.
"Now, what I want to talk about is obvious. I did not bring this up before because you two still had time. But I can see that you two are quite eager, reminding me of my youth~," Kanna said while smiling.
"Gran Gran! That's embarrassing..." Katara said while avoiding eye contact with Norrak, who smiled as he looked at Katara. Truth be told, he was not horny, but he wouldn't refuse.
"Oh, don't worry. You two will understand in the future. But for now, if you two really love each other, slide those rings onto your fingers," Kanna said slowly, her voice turning serious.
Norrak and Katara turned towards each other, and Norrak got on one knee, taking Katara's hand into his own. The sight caused Katara to freeze before a happy smile erupted on her face.
"Katara, will you become my wife?" Norrak asked, holding the ring with his name on it. Katara nodded eagerly, her hair flying around from the force of her nods.
Norrak smiled and slid the name with his name carved on it onto Katara's ring finger. The ring slid onto her finger, and Katara's finger filled the ring nicely, emitting a soft silver shine for a second.
"I Will!" Katara damn near shouted before also sliding the ring with her name onto Norrak's finger, afraid to be slow. Norrak stood, and Katara, who had a slightly shorter stature, looked up slightly.
Norrak and Katara faced each other, and they closed their eyes as they shared a kiss. Their lips touched, and Katara could not help but lean in harder, which Norrak reciprocated.
"Ahem! You two have your own hut, don't you?" Kanna questioned sharply as she interrupted the newlywed couple. Norrak nodded, and Katara blushed a deep red.
"Wanna sleep in my tent from now on?" Norrak asked Katara, and the girl nodded heavily. Seeing her agree, Norrak held her hand as he led her towards his tent.
Seeing the two leave, Kanna finally released a tired sigh as she closed her eyes. She couldn't help but think of her dead husband, with whom she once shared such emotions.
"Such a long-awaited moment, I wish Kya could see this," Kanna muttered with a sad smile.
_________________________________
What do you all think about the relationship between Norrak and Katara? This will have harem elements, especially since Azula is the best girl. I want to emphasise that Norrak will not be jumping from one girl to another; instead, he will develop a meaningful relationship with each girl before deciding to be with them.
There will also be a bit of drama, because I can't see Katara easily agreeing to Norrak having other girls besides her. But it will be solved gradually.
Leave a power stone!
