《The life of a little orphan tortoise》Chapter 3: The blood that ties us together
Advertisement
After having killed the Sea Cricketeer that was tormenting his younger sister, Reya, and feeling quite satisfied with his own work. Shao then turned himself around (in order) to face Reya. Checking to see if she was alright and not badly hurt that is. Watching as Reya gazed right back at him in admiration.
You could almost see the sparkling wet tears emanating from her teary eyes. That was how close she was in terms of a near-death experience. If her older brother Shao wasn't there to save her, she would surely have been killed by the Sea Cricketeer.
"Are you alright, sis?"
Reya then nodded her head in confirmation, reassuring Shao that she was perfectly fine, for the most parts. Except that her exterior tortoiseshell has some slight cracks and slash damage incurred from the Sea Cricketeer's slashes.
"I'm alright."
"Are you able to walk by yourself?"
Shao asked Reya whether she could walk by herself, alone that is without any support. Reya then affirms to him that she can manage to walk by herself.
"Yeah, I can manage somehow."
"I see. Are you by chance on your way heading home. Or just out to look for food."
Reya kept quiet for a sec. Embarrass to tell him that she was looking for some prey or food to eat. But couldn't find anything edible by herself. Which resulted in her in getting ambushed by the Sea Cricketeer, bullying her, and almost got herself killed in the process.
She was quite a shame to even tell him how weak of a creature she is.
The gap between herself and the much older ones just keeps on growing, as they slowly grow stronger and bigger in size. Rising in levels and strength steadily, becoming out of her reach.
"I was... on my way heading home."

Reya paused her speech in mid-sentence, afraid that Shao would belittle her for being how weak she is. So she changed her statement to something else. Despite how hungry and starving she is. Whilst, Shao observed her small figure. Finding it quite strange on how small her size is when compared to himself and the rest of his brethren's.
Every day, he would watch and observe the growth of his brothers and sisters, whether it is small or some major growth spurt. Everyone is making some progress. However, Reya still remains tiny in size, almost like she was starving herself.
"Are you by chance hungry, sis? I can share the prey I hunt with you. And teach you how to find food. Food is everywhere. Here and there."
Upon hearing the mentioning of food, Reya becomes immediately responsive. She looks at her brother with starry eyes. Drawing much closer in excitement.
"Are you really sure, big brother?"
"Yeah..."
Shao drew closer to the corpse of the Sea Cricketeer he killed, dragging along its dead torso in his mouth, bringing it towards the direction of Reya. The corpse being dragged along the sandy beach area, leaving behind a small trail in the wet sand.
"Here."
Dropping the corpse caught in his mouth, down with a thud. As Reya looks at it with drooly lips, saliva almost overflowing out of her mouth.
She chomps and tore bits of the Sea Cricketeer's body off. Finding it quite hard to chew on the hard endoskeleton of the Sea Cricketeer. Nevertheless, she continued to chew breaking apart the thin endoskeleton, then into its meaty flesh. Watching from a distance, Shao was indeed quite satisfied.
Changing the subject. Shao then has a look at his Status, recently updated after his frequent level us. He should be now a lot stronger than his previous self.

"I have become a lot stronger. But more creatures much stronger than myself. I need to become stronger. Not risk getting eaten by others."
Shao was already quite the intelligent lad as he is. Realising the limit of his strength, and not being too overly arrogant as Kaan was. There are a lot more monsters bigger and stronger than he is. Just by being able to level up doesn't mean that you are able to qualify yourself as being at the top of the food chain.
It is easy to kill someone like it could easily get yourself killed at any time.
Reya was quite satisfied with having the leftovers of Shao's kill, even if she didn't actually put in much work. That was something that doesn't happen quite often
At least she could rely on her big brother Shao when the time comes if she needs help. If she is willing to learn from Shao, correcting her weak mindset and lifestyle, and be able to survive on her own. Rather than being too over-reliant on him, that is.
"Are you finished?"
"En!"
Reya nodded, and they both headed home to the nest.
On their way home to the nest, Shao pointed out the plentiful food resources of Seaweeds and kelp, an edible plant commonly found washed off from the seabed, lying around all over the place around the sandy beach.
Shao then grabs a few seaweed as a traveling snack, sharing it with Reya on their way home.
Once they were inside of the nest and stone safety encirclement. It was already starting to get dark out. So they each began to go to sleep like the other tortoises within the facility. Reya was afraid of being alone by herself at night.
So she asked on whether could she cuddle up next to Shao. Shao then happily obliged, finding it not to be a problem at all.
"Can I sleep next to you?"
"Sure thing..."
Shao then slowly digs a hole in the sand surrounding them, partially burying themselves within the sand, disguising themselves as still rocks. In an attempt to trick predators, if they were to be invaded and prey upon during the night.

Young bloods (WIP)
" So-called leaders prostituted their people to wars and abuse. They destroyed families, culture and economies; their hands dyed red by the blood of the children, the families trampled by their lecherous motivations and diabolical war machines. Trained and taught by the Revenants or rather “young bloods” from their war-torn world, we were going to build a better world for us and for the later generations, a world when there shall be no more wars waged over territory, a world where boys and girls can frolic around for all of eternity." -Sasha, Terutan regular army cadet. ‘History is determined by the victors, and here we stand transcended over those who abused us. History is filled with liars, broken promises of eternal prosperity and peace. The more things change, the more things stayed the same: ideology change, location shift but power will always find a place to rest its head. We fought and bled for the adults, the grown men and women who preached of us being their future, preached us of the freedom from tyranny and slavery; no wonder why we hated them so. History is determined by the victor, and there shall be no victors when we’re done.’- Yulia Bronskavya, Red Army Homeguard. As the first modern war came to a close in November 1st, 1918, rows of passed juveniles laid the battlefields. In the name of some royal fat cats or some shitty national leader, cruelty and crimes were committed against the weak and the vulnerable younglings; in other words, adults were assholes. Their deaths marked a new beginning, a new beginning in a strange and magical land that was and had only been dreamt of in stories and folk tale, they had arrived to Terruta. The first ones regarded themselves as Revenants, heroes who had been able to be reborn in this world and began their adventure to explore this strange foreign land. However, “every coin have two sides, like everyone have two faces”. 'As they left their former life behind, the young soldiers and operators found themselves being deceived, abused and taken advantaged off again by the elders of this world. Many were abused, tortured, raped and sold to slavery, Revenants were quite sought after due to their timeless charm, strength, intellect and immortality, they were unable to be killed no matter what; many were bought and used as pets, slaves and entertainers for their masters’ entertainment. Fed up with the similar treatment and abuse by the adults of this world, many revolted and founded ICC, International Cooperative Coalition.'-Sasaki Kotegawa, JSDF Private.
