Chapter 4

Last night, I didn’t tell anyone that I could use my soul weapon. After eating, my mother set off outside and I go towards the books are placed. I read again the book that is related to the soul weapon to confirm something. If the soul weapon age is based in the soul of an individual, I think, I'm overqualified. After reading the book, I confirmed that my conclusion is right. I go outside and fly, remembering the jet airplanes that did stunt back on earth. I try to emulate how they fly at first it's quite hard but I get used to it as the time passes by and flying is really fun.

…

Whenever I wake up, I always mark the trunk of the tree house as a day. Five years had passed since I came to this world. My siblings are much bigger than me. My brother is almost 6 ft. height while my sister is around 5’6 to 5’8 ft. height. If I'm not mistaken my height is almost 5 ft., most of my mother’s time is in the chief house while I'm doing the parental or rather strict discipline to my siblings. Their bodies are bigger than mine but they can't defeat me in our sparring sessions. Some of the young wing beastman are wanted to befriend but I just ignored them, my guts telling me that, I might feel the pain again of losing a good brother.

While teaching my siblings how to read, I found it difficult since I could not talk. I need to use my whole body just to explain to them what is the meaning of every symbol. After a few moments, a strong gush of wind came from the arc shape hole of our house. My mother arrived, she looks serious and panting for a few moments.

“We're going to leave now! Get your important things! Quickly!” She said in a loud voice, I get some loin clothes and some wooden weapons that I crafted.

After a few seconds, we fly outside and go to the south part of the hawk tribe mountain. There are also different hawk and pigeon wing beastman that scattering and flying fast in different directions. While flying, I look at my mother in a curious manner.

“I know what you’re thinking, even with the help of pigeon tribe, the eagle tribe is too strong. We need to go to the land and hide or else we will be enslaved by them.” She said, suddenly, there’s a strong breeze of wind at our back that affecting our flight.

“Ahh!, Ahh!” There are many wing beastman’s that groaning in pain simultaneously, most likely from the hawk and pigeon tribe.

I look at the back and there's a bunch of eagle tribe soldiers. They have a white feather on their face while each of their beaks has a different shade of yellow. Their wings are white while there’s black color at the end of it. All them are robust and definitely bigger than the adults of our tribe.

They're hacking most of our tribe members and laughing, the adults of our tribe can’t stop them. The difference in strength is obvious and our tribe alliance is in disadvantage.

As I was about to use my soul weapon, ”Fly faster! Fly towards the southeast! we need to hide in the forest.” She shouted at us, she looks serious and I think, my siblings know that we are in a tough situation their usual carefree behavior is different.

We change our direction to the southeast. After a few moments, the crying and shouting of different wing beastman of our tribe are getting louder. I want to help them, but I know there’s nothing I can help them with.

Suddenly, a fast flying soldier of eagle tribe suddenly take over on top of us and block our path.

“One hand mother, If you didn’t take your kids, you might have a chance to escape.” The soldier of eagle tribe said in a loud voice. When I’m about to move, my mother lifts her left hand to stop me.

“Take your brother and sister now! I know you understand the situation! If I can't make it, you must avenge us.” She said in a solemn manner, her eyes became a bit watery for a moment.

I signal my hand to my siblings that they should go with me or else I will give them again some heavy punishment.

“But mother!” Minerva cut, she looks distressed at the moment.

“Follow Norman! The two of you should listen to your brother norman! Remember, avenge your parents and your fallen tribe!” My mother said in a loud voice, my two siblings nodded their head and follow me without a moment of hesitation.

As we are flying further, I look back again to our mother. She's fighting using only her left hand that holding a long mace, even though she should be in disadvantage, the eagle man still having a hard time. I think, my mother has the upper hand and maybe, she can make it out alive.

After a few moments, we arrive outside of the hawk tribe floating mountain. The mountain is literally floating above the surface of the deep blue ocean. We travel continuously to the southeast direction and I can’t still sight any island. Suddenly, there's thunder roaring above us, some of the clouds are getting darker and the strong winds are generating huge waves on the ocean, I think, there's a storm. A few minutes later, lightning strikes in different directions and nonstop beads of water are pouring at us. We are swaying while we're flying, I look at my siblings on the side and signal them to lower our altitude. Both of them look lifeless and sad, I want to shout at them but I know what they’re going into and I can't even generate my own voice.

Strange, If this is earth, the parents will stop their children to do dangerous things. After long hours of flying, finally, I see not just islands and there’s a possibility that one of this island is part of a continent. I zoom my vision and it's possible that there are no civilized species that are living in these islands. Most living things in this areas are a different type of monsters and animals.

Fortunately, there’s a small island that only has small animals and only a few monsters living in it. I pointed out the small island and my siblings agree to my decision. We landed at part of the island where most of the tall trees are standing. I commanded my brother to cut some trees, I'm going to build a modern or maybe quite old type design of a house using these woods.

After spending half day of creating our house, finally, it’s finished. Using the different kind of woods to our new house and leaves that can act as ropes, I tied them together. I made a rectangle shape house that has a triangular roof. Also, I made some water storage that made from the wood that has similar characteristics on the bamboo woods back in the earth. The water that runs down from our roof will be stored in the water container.

My brother hunt some big gazelle looking animal and we eat the meat raw. Curiously, I try to burn the meat or rather cook it. As I taste it, It’s not edible and I think, the birds have a strange sense of taste. After I spit some of it, both of my siblings are frowning at me.

“Big brother, where did you learn to create that kind of house?” She said while still looking at the house that I build.

I draw symbols to the soil that depicts, from the books, you’re a lazy reader, you might miss that book. After she read it, she nodded while my brother looks at the symbol closely and scratching his beak.

“You’re really a moron, Arsenio, big brother write that, the idea of creating that house is from the books. ” She said and tilt his head sideways.

“Who’s moron! I understand the meaning of that and I think, I read that book.” My brother said, he stands up after he knew the meaning of the symbols.

I know, I know that my brother is lying, Minerva is kinda quick witted but this arsenio is quite dull. Aside from his abnormal strength and huge stature there’s no other positive on this brother of mine. Look’s like they moved on and forgot what happened before, only two days had passed since we left our home but they already move on?

I draw again to the ground that depicts, Let’s rest for now, continue the planning tomorrow, if mother is alive she will go here.

Both of them nodded and we enter our new house. I feel exhausted and immediately fallen asleep.

Before I wake up, I dreamed that I’m talking to my son and daughter. I told them about this strange new world and they're both look excited as I telling them the story, they also want to go here but I just laughed at them.

After pondering things, I hear some high pitched tone of voice. I approach the room of my sister and I know she’s crying. Curiously, I also visit my brother’s room. He is not lying on the ground or crying, instead, he’s kneeling and saying something in a quiet voice.

There’s uneasiness of feeling inside me, Why did I think that they forgot what happened? I misjudged the characteristics of this wing beastman. They’re emotions are similar to humans or maybe, they’re even more emotional than the humans. They must be thinking that our mother possibly died. I don’t want to go to war again but after living twice, maybe, my destiny is to live in war.

In the next morning, the face of my siblings both serious and I feel their strong resolved. I draw symbols on the ground that depicts, we will get our revenge on our parents, not now, 10 years 20 years 30 years all we do is going to train hard, if we are ready, we will be the reason for the extinction of eagle tribe!

…

I taught them the different bunch of training of the soldiers back in the earth. Not specialized in one area but specialized in all areas. Even my brother arsenio is quite dull, he’s showing promise especially in close quarter combat, he’s one of those dangerous one man soldiers. While Minerva, she’s good at everything especially in thinking outside the box situations and now, I can barely win on her in our chess match. Just like that, two years had passed and were still on the island training every day.

My sister got some sort of long thin black spear as her soul weapon. While my brother, he can’t still summon his soul weapon and he’s getting scold by my sister.

“Arsenio! Just relax! guide the blue energy to your chest area and let it naturally flow to your mind!” She said in an angry tone while my brother is sweating furiously.

The sky’s getting darker and finally, he summoned his soul weapon. It’s a huge broad axe that has one metal edge in it. After a few moments, he’s broad axe change from one metal edge to dual metal edge axe.

Immediately, I draw a symbol on the ground that depicts, how did you change the metal in your axe.

“Big brother, I see our chief soul weapon one time and the metal on it is like this, I just imagined it to transform like the chief soul weapon but looks like I can’t, only the metal of our chief soul weapon, I successfully copied.” he explained, his head face downwards, looking like he's not satisfied with the results.

I stand up and try to remember some of my collection from the earth. I summon my soul weapon again. Suddenly, a weapon appears in my hand.

“Haha! I miss you, baby!” I said in a loud voice while hugging my soul weapon.

“Big brother! You can talk!” Both of them shouted at the same time. They're eyes widen while their beak agape as they look at me.
