An Jin composed herself and returned to her dwelling with the food. She was getting hungry, so she started a fire to cook.
In the Beast World, the tool for starting a fire was a special kind of Energy Baryte called a Fire Source Stone.
By striking two translucent Flame Stones together, sparks would fly. They landed on the dry, oil-soaked kindling, which started to smoke and quickly caught fire.
Over a low flame, the stone pot slowly warmed up. An Jin coated the inside with a layer of fruit oil. Soon, the fragrant aroma of the oil, mingled with the scent of fruit, filled the air.
The oil at the bottom of the pot sizzled.
An Jin took the knife herself. After cleaning a portion of the wild boar meat she had selected, she sliced it into pieces of moderate thickness and arranged them neatly on a leaf.
Next, she took out some ingredients she had dug up over the past two days from her Beast Skin Bag, mixed them, and sprinkled them into the pot.
