《Legend of Xeor》2 First Hunt

Advertisement

It has now been a hundred years since the creation of the world and most species have developed habits and ways of living.

There are plenty of tales to be told but for my purpose of making you more familliar with the world of Allastar I have selected to follow a few champions among its inhabitants who will shape the world to how it is now.

From Anchora(The future name) of the Central and greatest of continents I have chosen a lion beastman or Lionman for short, Xeor.

All lionmen and lionwomen have the head of a lion and a humanoid body, only distorted by the strange animal like legs and paws instead of hands hiding sharp claws.

Lastly you can see their lion tail and fur which are not a common trait for all.

If you ask me what they wear I won't answer I leave that to your own discretion.

Let's go back to Xeor, he is a bit young at the moment, you could call him a child by our standards but in his tribe all males have to become warriors by his age(5 human years).

He lives In the Milewoods (as they will be called in the far future), a broad area of gigantic trees that covers the southern reaches of Anchora.

4Day of the Red Sun (1st month of Summer) Year 187

Today is Xeor's first hunting day a holy ceremony on his way to becoming a warrior and in order to catch his first animal, His Mother Haki took him with her, cause only Women and children hunt in the lion tribe.

What it's not racism, it's considered like cooking, in our modern days many still consider it a woman's job. I believe humans can do anything if they want to. Now among the tall trees a mother and her child hunt for small animals like Silfars and Monstrodonts.

It's really a bother to explain what they are but this is a short explanation of how they look.

Animals in Allastar are more akin to monsters in our world.

Silfars for example look like deers but have a short neck and long legs, they can jump away and run real fast, they eat tree leaves and bushes. They travel in packs and in the first sense of danger disperse and regroup far away.

Monstrodonts look like wooly boars with a wolves jaw and a boar's turks, well more like an elephant's in size as they grow bigger and bigger. Monstrodonts are quite reckless as they eat anything from grass to meat, when they grow too big they can no longer tell friend from foe and most of the times are killed by some other predator. They live in families of two, until they grow too big and leave their children on their own.

In Allastar there are Herbivorous, Carnivorous and the Omnivorous creature, like in our life but unlike our world there are also the Nonvorous that don't need food at all, don't ask how is it possible cause it'll only get even longer.

The main difference of course between them is size.

What you thought I'd say what they eat, who care about that.

Omnivorous for example grow bigger as time passes by and If you see me adding a Ma- prefix to the animal's name don't get too confused, it means it is monstrously big for its own its kind.

Herbivorous on the other side don't grow in size but grow in numbers.

Carnivorous grow normally and have a fixed max height as well. Nonvorous animals are quite rare and have no common ground except for their eating habit.

So where was I, they have just hidden among the trees trying to find something delicious to eat, the dense grassland and many brown bushes were perfect for an ambush, suddenly a loud sound was heard.

As it drew closer and closer fear and a strange sense of excitement passed through Xeor's body. As it came to a fair distance and they begun to hear tree branches breaking and squeeling sounds filled the area. In a hurry Haki threw Xeor up on a tree and climbed it herself shortly afterwards.

They now laid in wait, their ferocious animal claws were ready to rip any animal to shreds. Though his mother was more causious and careful than him. Haki wasn't known for her beauty but she was the best huntress of their tribe.

They waited a bit more and a Mamonstrodont came crushing through the trees in front of them and charged right through their tree trashing it to the ground, they jumped on its back and em...(do I seriously have to describe that).

Well okay they killed it as fast and efficiently as they could(His mother ripped it's neck with her claws and teeth while he went for its eyes with his sharp claws).

When the beast stopped moving and all was over, from where the Mamonstrodont had come, arrived Rixish. She was another woman of their tribe and the tribe leader's wife, she is considered to be the most beautiful woman of their tribe, although not the best huntess there is, apparently.

(Rixish)-Xsss, Good work hunting someone else's game

She said arrogantly, not that she could have taken that beast out, she was probably hiding nearby while they were fighting the beast.

(Haki)-Mmmr, We are so sorry my Lady, we did't know you also had your eyes on it

(Rixish)-Mhh, It was almost dead even without you doing anything

Xeor was really angry by her words but could do nothing as he was quite young and still weak, he knew full well that they could do nothing to prove their rights due to the law.

(Haki)-It's as you said but the beast is so big, If you could...

Rixish turned her fangs at her and...

(Rixish)-Hsh, Silence you thieves you know who I am and still dare talk back to me, be gone! or you will have to answer to my husband

His mother sadly gave her their prey and left in seach of another prey.

Well, let me explain the reason they could do nothing about it. The law of claiming was made by passed chiefs to ensure their power as chiefs, if you wanted to claim something the other had you had to fight him in a duel and win, the problem in that was that the duel had to be done in public, in front of the chief or some of elders.

Xeor's father Kor was considered to be the weakest of their tribe and more than anything liked to sleep. Xeor was different he had the balls of a lion or I would like to say. After that disgrace Xeor was so furious, he went staight back home to his father, Kor, leaving his mother to hunt alone as she usually did.

As Xeor went into their village, god make it one, it looks like nothing at all just trees and strange holes dug in the ground as if some wild animals made them.

Well, in one of those shitty holes Kor stood guard, aka Slept. Don't start your feministic comments on me, it's something like a caveman society.

Xeor was now in front of his father a considerably large Lionman two times his size who was waiting outside their lair. Well, you see, he waited with his eyes half closed.

(Kor)-Oh, how was your first hunt son?

(Xeor)-Father I want you to teach me how to fight

(Kor)-Oh,what is it this time, it's the tenth time this month

(Xeor)-Our prey was taken from us by some other lionlady

(Kor)-Don't fret over spilled milk son

Well honestly speaking it was another phrase but you wouldn't understand its meaning even if I told you, to humans It would be like Grawr Grrr or something, the meaning however is the same.

Xeor was left dumbfounded as his father who was very kind and gentle to him, was also said by all the others to have mental issues. The reason for that is because his principle was everything can be worked out peacefully, yup he's an out-of-place pacifist.

Xeor left home angrier than when he came, but he didn't know why his mother loved his crazy father so much, he was just a lazy bum.

Xeor was a well known troublemaker, he and his two best friends, who were around his age.

Gulf who was well-known for being furry as his whole body had long lion hair, many called him fat because of that. He was stronger than Xeor, at least at the present.

His other friend Fren was an absolutely average lionman child, no talent at all, but he had a good lionhead on his shoulders, he was the brain of their group.

(Gulf)-What's up my man, why the angry face

(Xeor)-Shut it fatty

(Gulf)-Want me to beat you up again, Xeor

(Fren)-Stop it you two you are acting like children, we are men now

(Gulf)-Yes lets duel, Xeor

(Xeor)-Now you're speaking my language

(Fren)-I didn't mean that, you two

The two young lionmen started fighting without giving notice to their friend who tried to talk them out of it for a bit, before sitting down to enjoy the fight.

It was almost nighttime when their fight ended with both of them on the ground laughing as they didn't even remember how or why they were fighting.

(Gulf)-Oi Xeor, why were we fighting again?

(Xeor)-In my opinion there doesn't need to be a reason to have a fight

(Fren)-I told you, you shouldn't have even started it look at you now full of bruises, your mothers will be shouting at you again

(Gulf)-Nah, my father only cares if I won or not, hey Xeor, did I win or not

(Xeor)-Lets see nine bruises on me five on you, I think you did

(Fren)-What a stupid way to put it, you fell to the ground together so normally there can't be a victor

(Xeor)-Don't be a fool, if we were using our claws he would have won

(Fren)-Don't say stupid things, your paws hide even sharper claws than ours, and they are not really meant for punching, in a normal fight...

(Gulf)-Sorry guys but did I win or lost?

(Xeor)-Win

(Fren)-Lost, cause you are too slow

(Gulf)-I'll go with Xeor's opinion, he was my opponent after all

(Fren)-Whatever, suit yourself.

Fren and Gulf went home while Xeor stayed for a bit looking at the night star glaring at the golden moon, well it's one of the seven moons, also told to bring good fortune.

(Xeor)-I hope I can become the greatest warrior of them all one day

As the day passed by Xeor had made his decision.
