After a long night of hunting, Zukiro managed to grab a nice batch of rabbits, about 20 or so, whilst Xanuthos managed to bring back a good two whole bucks, in tact as well.
Great job brother! You finally managed to bring more than one in! And in tact as well! I'm so proud.
Thank. You.
Xanuthos laid the two bucks next to the hut so Zukiro could skin them later on. Zukiro set aside the rabbits on the table next to the bucks, waiting to be skinned and preserved. This amount of meat would last about a week, thanks to Zukiro finally controlling Xanuthos's appetite.
"Alrighty, now that everything is settled, Xanu, swim."
Xanuthos slowly waded his way into the river, waiting for Zukiro to grab his incense for their weekly meditation swim.
After settling, Xanuthos began to swim against the river, Zukiro started a small chant that made it easier for Xanuthos to swim against the current.
"Saquarius calmos negatem"
And they began their ritual, swimming down the river bed past Ketra, all the way to the base of the river. Once they made their turnaround, Zukiro ceased the chant, and Xanuthos let the current carry the both of them.
Zukiro, in all his nights, never experienced one where he had an odd presence near him. One which prevented him from reaching his complete meditative state. On the way back to the hut, he heard music playing, it sounded like a grass whistle but he was not entirely sure since he has been away from society for so long. He settled Xanuthos next to the hut, and went searching for this strange but serenating song.
