《Adventures of a young Zuma》Volume 1- CHAPTER 4

Today, I am excited.Why you ask??Of course, today I’m going to try a hand in experimentation from monster bones. How you ask??I have no freaking idea. In my excitement I forgot to try to know about these things, if the knowledge does exist in our clan.Luckily, i have borrowed (stolen) a hammer & a chisel from the builder warehouse.Well, no worries, I decided to fashion some kinds of weapons from those bones at first. After that I’ll see what happens after that.
Preparing every thing I choose to star with my lucky monsters tail bone. It was thick bone with slender breadth towards the end with a sharp arrow head.It looked like it will be a good weapon to stab or slash.I chiseled the tail bone to a height to my liking. At first, it was still heavy. Then I cut a gap either side of the bone to hold my hand. It looked like it was close to finish. At last i wrapped some fiber around the gap I created, making a good hold for my hand & finally it was finished.It was a sturdy weapon, stronger than my current wooden weapon. Then I broke the front canine from the skull, wrapping fiber around one end making it like a dagger.It was a long, good dagger. It took me more than 2 hrs to do all these things. It was my first time so i faltered a little bit but still it was a success. Then I drew a rough diagram of all the places I explored in the swamp, creating a crude type of map. All these work made me hungry. I took out some stored meat from the frost container & mixed it with some Vitalis, placed it over the fire stone plate to cook it. It was not that good but still edible. It was a good meal & I felt refreshed.

Equipped with my new weapons & my bag & my map, I went off to explore the swamp some more. These time I tried swinging & stabbing in the air, getting to know my weapons, easing into it. After getting tired doing my training, if you call it that, I took some rest & then decided to hunt some small type monster. Searching carefully, I found nothing. Felt a bit frustrated, after preparing I had nothing to show for it. I was standing in a clearing, thinking my next action. Suddenly, i felt a big chill going down my spine. I looked around, to see if it meant anything. After finding nothing, shrugged my shoulders & continued on my exploration. Something came flying at me, luckily I ducked it & it went millimeters over my head. Feeling relieved somewhat I looked forward & felt my happiness turned into sorrow as a medium sized Doner was in front of me.
It wasted no time attacking me again.It spit something out towards me, I was frozen in my spot, just mustering enough courage to move my tailbone sword to block it.The sword took most of the attack & was OK but a small bit fell om my hand.I felt a sudden burning sensation.I looked at my hand, saw that a small gash had formed on my hand. The pain was bearable & it helped me getting my will power to move from the spot. I quickly tried to dodge behind a tree, it spit again but it was blocked by the tree.My mind was racing at that moment, thing about everything & how would I escape this situation. I decided to run away from it, so I dashed forward not looking back.It spat again missing this time also.I knew it was matter of time before one of its attack would hit me, injuring or perhaps even kill me. After running for quiet some time I was feeling out of breath & tired. Deciding to hid behind a tree I took some rest.I heard some noise close to me.That Doner had followed me even to this place quickly catching up to me.The Doners must have fast movement also combining with their spit which turns out, burns your skin.It was a monster to fear.It moved closer to my right side.It was do or die.I readied my weapon & after feeling that it was in my area of strike i plunged out sideways stunning the Doner and stabbed it through the middle hole which I had first discovered.It dropped on the ground on the spot. I felt weird that a tactless plunge would work on these scary monsters, comical really.I as really lucky to be alive. I cut out the piece that I wanted & quickly went off towards home cutting short my exploration for the day.

At home I mixed some Vitalis with the Doner part & ate it...nothing fancy.It had no taste whatsoever.Feeling happy to alive, went to bed a little early...to early perhaps.
