Chapter 5 - A little time to get to know each other better

We gathered as much dry wood as we could and arranged it properly.

I had confidence in the trick I'd discovered while cutting the trartos meat. I took a piece of shell and a stone and rubbed them together. It created sparks that barely managed to ignite even the dead leaves. I blew on them as hard as I could, trying to keep the ember alive, but it kept going out quickly. Faced with my terrible performance, Hiyro mocked me with his whole being.

Everyone let out a laugh, even Rayzo, who hadn't spoken since the beginning I could hear him laughing. I felt humiliated.

Karla: <>

She couldn't get a word out without laughing. It irritated me more and more. So I decided to give up.

Nico: <>

She moved closer to the pile of wood and simply snapped her fingers. This motion created an intense flame in her hand. I jumped back from what I had just witnessed.

While I was trying to process what was happening before my eyes, Karla calmly continued to make the fire and even arranged it. It was inconceivable.

Karla: <>

I thought about it for a moment but finally decided to explain our situation to them in detail.

As we talked while eating pieces of dried meat whose origin I absolutely didn't know, I felt something vibrate in my pocket.

I had completely forgotten that I had gone out with my smartphone. How had I not realized it before? It's not like it was going to change my situation. But it seemed to arouse the curiosity of the others.

In the heat of the conversation, I found a way to get revenge for the humiliation I had suffered. I was going to impress them with my phone.

Nico: <>

I opened the camera option, then turned towards Karla, Estris, and Raysley, who were sitting side by side, and filmed them. Since it was already dark, I used the flash, which dazzled Karla and Estris.

I showed them the photo I had taken, and their reaction was hilarious, just like their faces in the picture.

This time, I put it on video mode and started recording everyone.

According to Karla's explanations, the forest we are currently in is undergoing rapid and abnormal growth. Moreover, it's where the temple of the seventh deity is supposed to be located. So there is a correlation. They were therefore sent to investigate. Apparently, they've been in the forest for over a week but have no clues as to where the temple in question might be. But I had a hunch.

It was decided. Tomorrow, we would head to where it all began.
