Sadness Might Hurt

The human tribe has occupied a dark part of the region just like Red Riders tribe, if they said it the true dark region then it would be more accurate, it was so much clustered with the woods that it might never have seen the rays of light.

The half beast tribe was forced slightly at the edges, and they have their own concerns, six months were still bearable but the coming six months would prove challenge for them, being on the edges they were able to witness a whole bright day but the six months night was at their doorstep, in those months the whole region would turn a real dark region.

They have to survive from all the hidden threats though they have capability to see through the night but the human tribe consisted of sly people they usually attack in those months and force half beast tribe to the edges, very likely one day they would enter in the void again if this went on.

In the half beats tribe everyone was busy to prepare for the six months night, the Red Rider last sent the half beast leader to check on the edge because he was aware that half beasts would not be able to obey his orders during six months night because they were always alert about the humans, half of them remain of alert while the half rest, same way those who rested would be next to remain on alert.

And they were given this extra work to build a stone chamber for the human.

Jen came out from the tent and could see everyone in a rush, "Is anything wrong, the enemy come looking for me?" she stopped a fox who was entering in the next tent.

The fox saw the girl and wagged his tail, he was in a good mood yet as soon as Jen stopped him and asked, it turned slightly annoying, "You can say your luck is bad, the six months night is about to begin today or tomorrow, but I heard the humans can't see in the dark, I heard a rumor about you and I don't care if it is true or not but really you might be killed by the human tribe when they would sneak attack since half beasts have capability to see in the dark," the fox smirked and entered in his tent.

Jen was left dumbfounded, perhaps the fox was right, she was truly unlucky all these years even losing Zhi Chang was part of bad luck, everything turned out all of a sudden not giving her a sliver of chance to probe the solution.

"Don't take his words on your heart, that fox did not meant to hurt you, he wanted to alert you that the six months night would be a challenge for all of us," the female sambar came back with few herbs hanging in the pouch around her neck, she heard what the fox said, Jen did not mind it either but it was revelation, another bad luck was waiting for her.

The female sambar entered the tent and Jen followed, she sat against the wall and observed, she did not answer.

That stock of food was the only reason that the space in the tent became stuffy for two people, it turned out that despite having small space in the tent, the heart of the sambar was as big as ocean.

Jen was touched, "Do you have any information about the human tribe, I mean how many people of human tribe are insanely strong and why they wanted to harm half beast tribe?" Jen spoke though she was suffering the pain from her wounds but it was necessary for her to know beforehand.

"I think you should let me give you this first, just carefully apply," the herbs were mashed, the female sambar handed her a small amount and the remaining she was applying on the wounds where her hand could not reach for example when Jen was blown toward the rock, her back hit the rock and it got severely wounded, patiently they applied the paste then Jen tore her old clothes in to straps and banded, the female sambar was helping very amiably, it brought warmth and comfort for Jen who was not only suffering her wounds but her heart was also in turmoil.

The memories where that sly man forcefully brought Zhi Chang with him constantly flashed in her mind, and it hurt her heart, if her great grandfather caught wind that the punishment seal was used by his granddaughter, he must have come to look for her but he only thought that she would use another seal to call him if she needed him, he was under the burden of bigger matters and from a long time he did not bother to check on her.

Every after six months, he would come and sneak at what she was busy in, if she was surrounded by her enemies or what she was learning currently but it was pity that he was busy all this time to sneak once.

Jen was suffering but she don't want her great grandfather to see her in this state, she don't want to imagine how he would look at her, if there happened to be pity in those eyes? She won't be able to bear it.

'Would he scorn her or admonish for not using the diction, but where was that enough time to use it? All the time that rascal was tossing both Jen and Zhi Chang like toyes, breathing toyes, she was forced in the corner of the rock until she found his real intentions.

"What is giving you pain other than these apparent wounds," the female sambar slightly removed her hair from her cheeks and asked, she could see that the human was not speaking much, she was silent and even did not answer back the fox despite him being little nosy.

It was not that she was hiding her disgust toward half beasts if she happened to dislike them, it would have come at her lips already when she was looked down upon by all the half beasts that means there was something else that troubled her.

Jen looked at the female sambar and slightly smiled, even her smile was looking painful, "I lost someone who was close to my heart," Zhi Chang lived in the central acmes pair for long and then he was unwilling to leave her side, it was enough for him to occupy a place in her heart, and it turned out that she was equally unwilling to let him go.

The female sambar blinked her eyes, she has seen many humans and met couple of evil humans too, but they were all same, they all hate to the half beasts, initially when the sambar brought the girl in her tent was solely because she was a girl and wounded, but at this moment, it seemed there was no distance between a human and half beast, the human equally feel grief as the half beasts, the humans could also show emotions for those whom they care.

Most of the humans she met until now were stony inside and outside, not cared whether their words can hurt a half beast, not caring whether their behavior can kill many innocents.

"I also lost my family, they were chased by humans, I wish I could meet them once but it is not necessary when I know I cannot see them again no matter what, but if you have hope then you should not remain this sad because your sadness might hurt them wherever they are," the sambar placed a big leaf filled with the food, it was slightly cooked as the half beasts were not immune to eat raw food.

The words were simple but one could feel the care, Jen nodded.

This half beast tribe should be called with some humanity in the actual sense, despite having witness lots of debaucheries committed by humans, they were willing to take risk to return back the favor of a human.

Jen looked at the food, she brought out her storage of food to share with the sambar, there were piles of fruits which she bought from Clandestine Manias before leaving, the fruits were still fresh and juicy, the female sambar looked at the delicacy and took deep breath, it has been a long time since she saw some fresh fruits.

"I hope you like these fruits, it will be a good adding in the food stock?" Jen gave a warm smile.
