Chapter 31: Thea's Hunting Grounds

The following morning, Thea and Lily woke up early, they made breakfast together, before getting ready to go out for the day.

"I have made you some hunting clothes, it would be a shame if all your dresses got ruined." She said as she handed Thea some seemingly normal clothes.

"Won't these just tear instead?" Thea asked with a confused expression.

"Why don't you use your inspect skill on those clothes. I'll give you a new set when you are old enough." Lily said with a smirk.

Thea did as she said and inspected the clothes.

[Elder Dragon Clothing Set]

She then opened the description and was baffled by the details.

[Elder Dragon Clothing Set: Clothing made with the skin of an Elder Dragon, extremely high durability and high physical and magical resistance. Will size according to the owners body]

"But mommy, I don't need such amazing clothes." Thea said reluctantly, looking at the first really impressive possession she had seen in the house.

"Althea, do you know how far we have walked?" Lily asked Thea.

"About 30 miles." Thea said hesitatingly, unsure of the question.

"Why are you so unsure, you are correct, we have walked a total of 30 miles north today. I will let you hunt in a 60 mile radius of our cottage, this way you can run back in a days' time when your stamina has gotten to that level." Lily said seriously towards her daughter.

Thea accepted the conditions, although she already had the [Greater Vitality] at max, it didn't say she had infinite stamina, and although she had infinite defense, she could still get trapped somewhere, suffocated, starve and more unusual things that would potentially harm her.

Knowing her shortcomings she accepted the conditions as a 60 mile radius wasn't small and could keep her interested for a few years.

"Alright, now that is settled we will walk back, we will practice navigating through the forest when its dark. Then I will help you with some camping tips and tricks so you can overnight in the forest... if you ever want to." Lily said caringly. You could even hear her hesitating to let Thea sleep alone, if she was thinking about Thea or herself, even she herself didn't know yet.

They then started heading back, it was quite easy as Thea had great night vision with her eyes so the lesson Lily wanted to teach was for naught. They arrived home early in the morning and went to bed after an uneventful bath.

The next day Lily taught Thea some camping tricks explaining things from making fires to setting up tents. Thea sometimes wondered how old her mother was to know so much, but afraid of the consequences of asking her, she never did.

Just like that, Monday came and Thea started her cycle that would continue for the next 9 years.
