Daylight crept across the floating island, chasing the shadows back into the crevices where they belonged. The Evolvers began to stir one by one. Their bodies were strong enough that a few hours of sleep was sufficient, and within minutes most of them were on their feet, stretching muscles and blinking away the remnants of rest.
Once everyone was up, Moon got to work. He pulled several beast corpses from his storage ring and began preparing them over the bonfire. He seasoned the meat with the spices he kept on hand, adjusting the heat carefully, rotating the cuts so they cooked evenly.
A few offered to help, and Moon did not reject, allowing them to cut the meat.
The mouth watering smell of various spices, herbs and tender meat filled the cave within minutes.
"Wow, boss! This is so good!" One of the female Evolvers said between mouthfuls, her eyes wide. "You're also a great cook?! Just what can you not do!"
