They went their separate ways after they were done conversing about the magical beast and its attack with smiles on their faces.
You know, Ryan always enjoys conversations like this with his older brother, it bonds the both of them. But he hadn’t been conversing and bonding much with his sister these passing weeks, and it wasn’t his fault.
He and his sister had never been that close, even before he went into a comma. Their relationship wasn’t like the kind he had with Kai, and he didn’t know what to do about it.
After the rank-4 magical beast was killed, remember the warriors began discussing how they were going to move the beast’s lifeless body from the place where it was lying to another place.
Well, you know what? They didn’t end up moving the beast’s body. But just because they didn’t move the beast’s lifeless body doesn’t mean they left it there. They found a way to make sure the beast’s body disappeared from that place in just a few days.
How did they do it? They made sure vultures feasted on the body until they were done feasting on it…they didn’t leave anything.
Vultures are attracted to dead bodies normally, they do feast on them when they see the chance. But the warriors made it better by spreading a certain substance around the beast’s body that would attract more vultures to it.
That substance would make the vultures keep feasting on its body nonstop until they were done feasting on it… Enjoy exclusive content from empire
This was something they’d done in the past to clear off a beast’s lifeless body from a particular place where it was lying after they’d killed it. There were times when they’d actually moved their bodies from a particular place to the wilderness.
The two options were always open for them to decide which one they want to go for after ending the life of a beast right in a community.
So the one that was more convenient for them at a particular time is the one they’d go for…
Now, imagine what people were feeling seeing vultures feast on a beast’s lifeless body as they were walking past…the feeling wasn’t great at all.
The beast was killed right in a particular community, so of course, people would be walking past and seeing the unpleasant sight which wasn’t making them feel good at all.
But they understood though, that this was the way the warriors found convenient to clear off the beast’s body. They were even thankful to the warriors for bringing down the beast as usual.
If they hadn’t brought down the beast, it would have killed a lot more people…
They knew they wouldn’t keep seeing the unpleasant sight forever. So they just kept bearing until the vultures were done feasting on the beast’s body after the passing of a few days.
Now, what about the lifeless bodies of the people that were killed by the beast? Well, the warriors were able to gather them one after the other…there was dried blood all around during the time they were gathering these bodies.
The warriors did an excellent job, it couldn’t be denied. After battling and bringing down the rank-4 beast, they then found a way to make sure the beast’s lifeless body would disappear from the place where it was lying after the passing of a few days.
After that, they began gathering the lifeless bodies of the people that were killed by the beast…
It was a lot of work, but they did it with all their hearts, and the king definitely rewarded them for it.
After they were done gathering the lifeless bodies, people began coming to check if their loved ones were among the people that were killed. The people that came to check were the ones that hadn’t seen a particular person or people in their family after the beast’s attack.
So they were suspecting they were among the people that were killed by the beast, while also hoping their suspicion was wrong.
Some people saw the bodies of their loved ones among the lifeless bodies, which meant their suspicion was right all along. While some didn’t see the bodies of their loved ones among the lifeless bodies.
..So on that particular day, there were tears and relief.
The ones that didn’t see the bodies of their loved ones among the lifeless bodies were relieved because there was still hope they were alive.
While the tears were from the ones that saw the bodies of their loved ones among the lifeless bodies. They were in so much pain, and some were comforted by others, while some weren’t.
The ones that were relieved ’cause they didn’t see the bodies of their loved ones among the lifeless bodies weren’t that relieved. And there was a reason for this.
Remember the beast was killing people by ripping them apart with its teeth and squashing them to death. Well, the warriors gathered both the lifeless bodies of the ones that were ripped apart, and the ones that were squashed to death.
Many of the ones that were ripped apart didn’t have their bodies attached to each other anymore. Their heads were separate, hands separate, legs separate, and so on.
Some still had their legs and hands attached to their bodies, some still had their heads attached to their necks, and so on.
Well, the warriors gathered everything like that, it was a lot of work. Seeing the face of your loved one was enough to know he or she was killed even though the head isn’t attached to the neck anymore.
Seeing how their loved one’s bodies were ripped apart added to their pain…
Now, the reason why the ones who didn’t see the bodies of their loved ones among the lifeless bodies weren’t that relieved was because who knows whether they were ripped apart beyond recognition.
Since the beast was killing people by squashing them to death and ripping them apart. Who knows whether their loved ones were victims of the beast’s attack, and were ripped apart beyond recognition.
Yes, this fear was instilled in their hearts that their relief started turning into blown out fear at some point.
And truly, there were some who were ripped apart beyond recognition by the beast whereby their bodies fell to the ground like sliced meats, and the beast even swallowed some of their heads.
So it was a situation where some of them would later find their loved ones because they weren’t dead. While some wouldn’t because though their bodies weren’t among the lifeless bodies, they were still dead because the beast ripped them apart beyond recognition and even swallowed some parts of their bodies.
The king compensated those who lost loved ones to the beast’s attack…it was always like this.
Whenever a beast attacks, causes damage, and kills people, the king would compensate those who lost loved ones with lots of money, and some other items.
Though the compensation wasn’t enough to cover up for the pain they were feeling from losing a loved one, they always make sure to accept the compensation.
..At least, it was better than nothing.
Students kept talking about the beast’s attack for days at different academies, Ryan’s academy included. It was the trending topic for days.
And up till this moment, they were still talking about it. You know, a beast’s attack was a huge one, not to talk of it being a rank-4 beast, the highest rank of magical beasts.
There was no way students wouldn’t talk about it for days. Ryan was in his classroom currently, and murmurings were resounding across the classroom, students were conversing among themselves.
What were they conversing about? The beast’s attack as expected.
None of the students in Ryan’s classroom were affected by the beast’s attack whether by losing their lives to the beast’s attack, damages done to their properties by the beast, or losing any of their loved ones to the beast.
None of them were affected in these ways listed…Ryan was sure about that. But as for the whole school, he wasn’t sure.
Murmurings were still resounding across their classroom when a certain teacher stepped foot into their classroom and heard the murmurings. Seeing the teacher, they stopped conversing among themselves, which ended the murmurings.
“When would you guys stop talking about the beast’s attack? It’s been days, but you all are still talking about it like it was yesterday it happened”. The teacher said to them after stepping foot into their classroom, it was a male teacher.
The students didn’t say anything, they were only glancing at him like they didn’t understand what he was talking about. Then the teacher’s voice resounded again,
“It isn’t only your classroom, other classrooms are talking about it as well like it was yesterday it happened. I know a magical beast attacking this kingdom is a huge one, but you guys should stop talking about it”.
The students nodded their heads a little while still staring at him. Nodding their heads didn’t mean they’d do as he instructed, they only nodded their heads to deceive him.
They’d keep talking about the beast’s attack until it had gotten to the time for it to die down…
