Ari Chapter 58: A Male and a Female Youngling
When we left the tribe, Dawon looked extremely sad. I felt guilty, but it was not my intention to hurt him. We continued our journey according to plan and headed out to the next destination. It took us hours to go down the steep slope from the Tiger Tribe's territory. I had to fly Gurion down and wait for the others on lower ground. I initially suggested flying each one of them down the steep slope, but they all disagreed, so I just took Gurion and a bag down the slope instead to lessen their burden. Lowell, being the fastest, was tasked with going down ahead empty-handed to follow me and Gurion so that we wouldn't be alone for long when we reached the lower ground. He arrived just half an hour later than us. "I want to help them carry the baggage; Lowell, please stay with Gurion," I pleaded to Lowell with a worried tone. "N-no, hah, Ari; p-please stay here... t-they can manage it," Lowell replied while gasping for air. The others took longer than expected since they had to carry
Ari Chapter 59: Why is he here?
The night was long, and it was another full moon. Lowell decided to be on guard while the others went to sleep early due to exhaustion. I couldn't go to sleep early, so I stood up and went to Lowell, who was guarding on top of the tree. I quietly climbed up, but he still noticed my presence despite looking at the moon. "It's the full moon again—having a hard time sleeping?" He asked while lending his hand to help me climb on the branch where he was sitting. "Are you worried?" He pulled me up and had me sit on his lap while hugging me tightly. I was flustered. "Yes, I couldn't sleep because I'm afraid of having another nightmare—can you let me sit on my own?" I complained, "I'm not a child—it's a little stuffy." "Let me hug you for a bit; your scent is so nice that I couldn't resist you earlier; I've been wanting to ask you something for a while now, but you might get mad at me," he mumbled while sniffing the scent of my hair. "Hmm... I haven't even taken a bath yet (though I clea
Ari Chapter 60: Relapse
The shadow hands kept exploring my body like worms, crawling and wriggling on my skin, causing me to feel nauseated and disgusted. I wanted to puke.I prayed so hard for someone to help me or wake me up from this disgusting nightmare."Sephtis, stop it!" a familiar voice shouted suddenly out of nowhere.I was sure I heard her voice, but I couldn't see her."Ayla, help me, please," I muttered as I cried, pleading for help.The man asked in irritation, "What? Are you going to choose your sister over your own father?"I was baffled because I thought Ayla was my twin, if I truly was Arie. Even so, I couldn't deny their similarities. His black hair and gray eyes shimmer despite the darkness of the Abyss.I was so frightened, but I had no other choice. She was the only one who could save me. She is the only one I can rely on at times like this, despite not knowing why I trust her so much.Maybe because she really was my sister, and our souls might still be connected to one another. It was th
Ari Chapter 61: Canan Village
There were three main continents in the Beastman World: the South Continent, the Mid Continent, and the North Continent. The South Continent is technically a place where the sun never rises, making it a place where most of the nocturnal beastmen reside. It was also the place where the Goddess Ayla used to be imprisoned. However, we have no idea how she got free from her restriction. The Mid Continent was where most of the normal beastmen like us resided. It is the biggest continent since it occupies more than half of the world. Lastly, the North Continent was a place where ancient races lived since it was the place where the sun never rested. There was no regular beastman in the North because there was a barrier that separated the North Continent from the Mid. There were only a few ancient race beastmen who could pass through the barrier, since the higher their power, the harder it was to pass through. Each race usually forms a tribe in their territory, but there were groups of bea
Ari Chapter 62: Jael's Abode
The village chief was baffled upon seeing my appearance. "A familiar collar... An Ancient race... A White-Winged Lion... A guardian mark... A female?" he mumbled in shock. His confidante asked for my collar while Jael was still mumbling. I was shocked and nervous because my ovulation was near, and it would be a disaster for me and the village if all the males suddenly ran on a rampage. "Would it be alright to let her keep the collar on?" my brother asked upon seeing me tremble in nervousness. "Isn't that the collar you traded with us? Is she the ancient race female you were talking about before?" Jael asked curiously. "Yes, she is. Please let her keep the collar. She is sensitive to the scent of stranger males, and the collar helps her normalize her senses," Lowell answered. "Hmm... That's new. I didn't know it had an effect like that. I have a lot of questions. May I invite you all to my humble abode?" Jael mumbled. "It will be our pleasure," Lowell responded. Jael leads us t
Ari Chapter 63: The Tale of the Original Gods of Light and Darkness
Tora held my hand from under the table, squeezing it lightly while caressing it a few times to comfort me, so I suddenly came back to my senses. I looked at her and saw that she was confused about my reaction but still worried about my gloomy expression. "I see. How about the god named Sephtis?" My brother asked. "Oh, The god of death. There were tales that he was the real father of one of the twin goddesses, and it was in fact his curse that made the twin goddesses fuse once in a while, causing chaos on our lands. He threw it as vengeance for being defeated by his twin brother named Lev," Jael responded while feeling a little frightened. "Wait! Did I hear it correctly? You said Lev?" Dillon asked abruptly. "Yes, you did. His name was erased all throughout the history of the Beastman World, but my ancestors have never forgotten the name of the first ruler, even after his death. Would you like to hear the tale of the origin of our world?" Jael asked. They all nodded eagerly, so I
Ari Chapter 64: Papers
"Amazing! Did you learn how to read it? How about the light from earlier...? Uhm... Is it similar to when you were transferring energy to the stone so that you could understand what was written? Is that how it works? Can I do it on my own too?" Jael asked in confusion."I have no idea how it works either. I just happened to understand what was written after touching the stone, as if it were altering it into a different language not known to any beastman. I just happen to naturally understand the language, but I don't know how I learned it," I answered honestly."Unbelievable! Are you sure you are not a goddess in disguise?" Aja chuckled as she threw a joke.I choked due to the unexpected question that she threw as a joke."Haha! That was quite a good conclusion, my beloved," Jael added.Dillon, my brother, and Lowell looked at each other before looking at me. The others laughed, though they were baffled at the weird reaction of the three males.Only the three of them are aware that the
Ari Chapter 65: I am not a Male
We were allowed to stay in Jael's house while we were still in the process of making paper and translating the engraved text on the Ancient Stones. I guided them all throughout the process of creating paper, despite my discomfort dealing with all the males around us. Lowell made a suppressant that can lessen my sense of smell to prevent myself from feeling extremely nauseated every time any male was at a close distance. It also acts as a calming medication that lessens my anxiety over the presence of males, though it is still inevitable for me to suffer from my phobia when a male touches me, even if it is just accidental. The females around us were so obsessed and curious about me that they kept swarming around me. They might have thought I was a male. They even tried to give me a lot of fruit while I was working with all the males on making paper. Even Falla did the same despite being interested in another male. She was the other daughter of Aja and had a crow beastman named Hroc.
