---- That gesture had be second nature to him.


    He carried the little leather pouch full of nts on the other side.


    They moved to a shore far from curious eyes, damp rocks and moss all around, pebbles under their feet.


    There they are, but theyre hard to catch since they nest in the center of theke and fly away when you get close," Drakkar was already thinking of how to catch them for Lyra.


    As for the Alpha, she was pleasantly surprised that those creatures looked like big, fat ducks, several kilos each.


    But their sharp beaks looked dangerous. Looking around, she found the solution to their problem "''See those dry reeds? Grab them, Ill show you how to sneak up on.


    them." Then, in just a few minutes, the tall warriors body was slowly sinking into theke, his eyes locked on the "chickens" nesting on the aquatic nts.


    Once the water was up to his neck, he brought the hollow reed to his mouth and moved forward, unafraid of drowning or being spotted.


    Lyra watched the "little stick" move in the direction of the distracted animals.


    ---- suddenly, in the middle of the stillness, a loud squawk rang out and the whole flock took off, leaving their nests behind.


    But blood tinted the water around two fat Ungarnix, stabbed from below by Drakkars sharp de. His ck hair broke the surface as he quickly grabbed his prey and snatched a few eggs from a nearby nest on the way.


    There were other predators in theke, like flesh-eating fish, and the blood would attract them.


    Lyra pped as she saw him approaching with two heavy kills in hand.


    "Lyra, this weapon is super sharp, I only had to stab once!" Drakkar was as excited as a pup, every little thing with this female felt new and amazing.


    Lets make beggars Ungarnix!" the Alpha jumped on him, kissing his chin and soaking herself with the cool river water.


    Crazy to rip off his loincloth with the excuse of drying it in the sun. Drakkars eyes lit up seeing her that happyhed face the entire world for that smile.


    He gutted the prey right there to clean out the insides and plucked the feathers.


    Gaias dagger sliced through the meat like butter.


    ---- Lyra stuffed the insides with herbs and some sweet fruits to add vor to the dish, then rubbed what little salt they had left over it.


    Wrapping everything in a big, smooth leaf and tying both Ungarnix with vines, they returned to camp so they wouldnt be alone in such an isted ce.


    Verak and Nana had already returned too.
