Advertisement
Neri, Nora, Nei, Nina, Neil & Noah. These were the names of Neina's children based on their age. From oldest to youngest.
Noah was the youngest and was a playful kid. Her brother and sister love her so much, especially her precious mother.
But, her beautiful life ended earlier than she expected. An unidentified man mauls her to death. 'Mother... it hurts. mother'
Neri, Nora, Nei, and Neina found Noah's lifeless body too late. His blood was all over the place.
They found a mysterious person in the distance and chase after it.
Neri leads the pursuit and then they suffered a heavy blow. The mysterious person was smart and vicious. It was too late for Neri to realized his mistake. One by one, his brother and sisters died in front of him. Even Nora's eyes fell on his face.
'If I listened to Mother's instruction back then.' Neri blamed himself for his mistake. Soon, a stick fell on his forehead making him suffer. Then his vision went dark.
Ron believed that his Queen is safe and her children. So he went away from Neina's side and helped Roa hunting some food for them.
They hold the dead bodies of white rabbits using their mouth and ran through the forest after the hunt.
But an unexpected thing happened. Neina and her children were all gone!
Ron and Roa's body trembled.
'My Queen!!!' Ron's mind went to chaos. He dashed through the tree where his Queen rested he didn't find her.
He quickly put down the dead bodies of the rabbits on his mouth and howled, "Awooooooo!"
A few seconds later, there was no response. Ron's heart pumped like crazy as he scanned the entire area.
Soon, Roa came late as well. He has bruises all over his body. He put himself on the line and hunted the entire day.

But his eyes were dead. Ron did notice this but did not say anything.
"Arfff! Arfff!"
They dashed through the forest hoping to see their Queen and her children.
As they ran, Roa was silent. No, rather terrified.
Roa found Noah's dead body on the ground when he was on his way to Ron's side. 'Noah... those bandits again!'
'Queen, please be safe...'
"Boss! Boss!" A young man shouted from the distance while running. Shortly he arrived gasping his breath. The young man wore a ragged brown shirt and a tattered short.
In front of him, a bald old man wearing a leather vest was sitting on a rock. Hearing the young man, the old man asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter, kid? Is something wrong?"
The young man bowed his head and said, "Boss, we couldn't find the wolf's leader. It seems they escaped before the fire broke out."
"THEY?" The old man's eyes twitched. He stood up and grabs the young man's slender neck and asked, "are you saying that some of those wolves escaped?"
The young man struggled, he tried to break loose but he can't. "I--I'm sorrr--ry boss!! --- please For--give me!"
Hearing the young man, the old man released his hand and stared at him, "I'll give you till nighttime. If not...", he raised his hand and smashed the rock where he sat a while ago. The rock turned broke to pieces. "Did you get it?"
"YES!!!!" The young man replied immediately in fear for his life.
Shortly, he ran far away from his boss with his shorts wet. 'That old bastard! He nearly kills me!'
After the young man left, the old man was silent, pensive and troubled. "This is bad. If the news broke out those Leaf Ninja dogs will hunt us."

Then he takes something on his back. It was a mask, covered in dark color. After he examined it, he wore it on his face.
He performed a hand sign using both hands. Then a black smoke arose under him. Shortly he disappeared.
Zheng has a wide grin on his face. He received thousands of experience by killing the five wolves.
He calculated that he received a total of 7,700 experience points! Adding to his current experienced points of 800, he had a total of 8,500 now.
'Wow. That's a lot of points.' Zheng could not believe it. He was looking at his character window with his mouth wide open.
"Well, time to collect my rewards." Zheng closed his window screen and went down on the pit.
'The smell is bad. But barely.' Zheng complained as he tossed the dead bodies above the ground. Though Zheng was injured, Zheng manages to carry them all. Their average weight was around eight kilos.
Above the ground, Zheng found a vine and he tied the dead bodies together.
"This will do," he tied the vine around his waist. "I still need to collect the other one."
Then Zheng walked while humming inside the forest. He was in a great mood.
The forest was so quiet as he walks through it. Soon he manages to found the dead body of the other wolf. He went near it but Zheng immediately stops his track. 'Wait a minute...'
