Everyone was cheering and of course I was hailed as a hero but there were faces that didn't like it. I was about to say something, but suddenly my words were blown away. Of course, I didn't rest all night and my strength was wasted on repairing the totem codes, how could I still stand tall after all that? After all, Rex Hito's body was only that of a ten year old child.I tried to stay upright, but my legs felt very weak and my vision started to blur. My hands flailed around, trying to find a hold, but my head started spinning and my ears were ringing. I lost consciousness right after. This must be so embarrassing. I just wish I fell in a graceful position, even if that's impossible.I don't know what happened next, but I want to lie like this in silence for a long time because I'm so tired. It feels like every time I open my eyes, I have a problem to deal with and it's so annoying. However, it felt like I was only momentarily unconscious, I suddenly came back to consciousness, becaus
I took a deep breath and before I got up, I immediately contacted Rex first. If anything was possible, Rex would probably know something. However, before I said it, it seemed she could already read it through my mind.‘It seems this has something to do with the other leaders. The Grand Healer Flaming Totem is the main totem for the Healer party. They will be much stronger than before. I think we put an imbalance between them,' said Rex.I was about to say something but Rex seemed to stop me immediately.'Don't say anything. I'm afraid someone might be listening. We have no choice but to go to the party now. You have to replenish our energy,” said Rex.I immediately stood up, forcing my body which was still very weak, and my head a little dizzy to walk towards the middle of the camp, where everyone must be gathered. From afar, I already smell the aroma of food. I'm getting used to the smell of beast meat and it makes me feel hungry. My stomach needs to be filled and that makes me quick
The person supported my body and helped me walk. I'm completely unconscious now, but I know my feet are still going. I can feel it when that person lays my body on a bed. I think he's a good guy because maybe he brought me back to my camp.Rex is still trying to communicate with me, but I don't know why suddenly I can't hear his voice at all. He seemed to drown and I fell into a deep sleep, forgetting everything that had happened. It felt like all the aches and pains in my body just magically disappeared and I really enjoyed my deep sleep.As if there was a natural alarm within my body, I awoke just at the crack of dawn. I know dawn must be breaking, but it's so hard to keep my eyes open. A second later I realized that I really can't open my eyelids! I couldn't move my body and couldn't even feel it all. I feel like I'm numb or maybe I'm paralyzed!Soon the training for the apprentices would start and I would have to get up, but I couldn't do it."Rex Hito! Wake up!” exclaimed someone
"Hey! Raise your sword!” exclaimed a priest who suddenly appeared behind Rex.Rex was shocked to the point of almost aghast and I felt the same way. It turned out that the priests were watching from the back of the line as well. Rex was at the very back and now all eyes were on us.“I-I…” Rex stuttered."Come on, raise your sword!" cried the priest once more.I immediately racked my brains to help Rex. If he didn't raise his sword, things could end badly.“Raise your sword, Rex,” I said in a half whisper, even though I knew no one would hear me now except Rex."Rex Hito, draw your sword now!" cried the priest while walking closer.I panicked even more because Rex didn't even draw his sword. Everyone started whispering under their breath, speculating. They could have thought Rex was arrogant after successfully repairing the Grand Healer Flaming Totem and that was not a good thing."Lets do it! Don't think you can go against the priests' orders because you've already managed to refine t
"If someone really wanted to kill you, they would do it again," I said.Rex already knew that. He just took a deep breath at that.“You know who probably planned all of this?” I asked.“Maybe Rais Musi and his minions. I only know those who hate me,” Rex whispered.I also thought maybe they were the one. Who else besides them? However, considering that Rex's father was considered a traitor, it is possible that some of them hate Rex. Whoever it is, we have to be really vigilant before that person tries to kill us again.“When do you think they will try again?” Rex asked finally.“I guess every chance I get,” I replied."Then we should switch back," Rex said."How to?" I asked.We were both silent, because neither of us knew how to switch back. I tried to think about it, but I have absolutely no idea how."Think of the Golden Tree," Rex told me.I'm starting to worry if anyone listens to her words. However, he said it in a low voice and whispered, so I thought everything would be fine.
I could hear Rex's heartbeat getting weaker and it made me really panic. If I had a body I would probably be sweating and my heart was racing because I was trying so hard in the last seconds that death would come for me and Rex.The beam of light that appeared after made me feel like I was seeing heaven. I was really worried that the light that appeared was really the light of heaven, which meant that Rex and I had died, but it turned out that what appeared was the golden light from the golden tree.I squealed with joy at that. I can easily access the power of the golden tree now and with it, somehow I can take over Rex's body again. Rex's body glowed brightly because of the light from the golden tree and I could feel I was taking over the almost dead body.Even though I have now managed to switch places with Rex, this body has still been exposed to that deadly poison. However, I remembered the pouches that Mora had given me last night as a gift. With the help of the golden tree's pow
"We're going to die if we stay here!" I shouted. I realized only a second later that my voice might have been too loud.‘We will also die if we go out there!’ Rex shouted in my brain.“If we're here, we can only resign ourselves to death and we won't be able to find your father!” I shouted.Rex stopped talking when I mentioned his father. I might be too reckless, but I'm sure that staying in this tribe won't get us anywhere and death is always lurking. Whoever wants to kill us will keep at it until he succeeds. I won't be able to save us continuously.'I-I… I'm scared, Ares,' said Rex.I was speechless because I also feel the same way. Inside myself, I was terrified. However, I don't think we have much of a choice. With all that's been going on lately, I think the beasts are way better than the vengeful people in this tribe.I could feel Rex's fear but I ignored it.“You are stronger than you think, Rex,” I said.Rex was silent. Even though this child is whiny and likes to sulk, but w
I seemed to be struck by lightning when someone was behind me and called Rex's name. My brain froze even though I tried to think of reason after reason so I could answer his question. However, I was completely unable to do so."Rex!" call him again.I had to turn my head and how relieved I was to see that it was Noe behind me. Noe looked at me confused because maybe I looked pale as a ghost. I felt my hands go cold because Noe called out to me so suddenly that I was taken aback.“Noee!” I cried in a whisper.“Rex, everyone is looking for you,” said Noe.“I know,” I replied."What are you doing here?" he asked again, looking to the right and left. He seemed to have guessed that I was hiding and did not want anyone to see."I have to go, Noe," I said. I don't know if my words are easy to understand or not but I have to go soon and I hope Noe doesn't ask any more questions."But, Rex. It's almost dark!” exclaimed Noe while widening his eyes. There was great concern in the expression on h
