83 Promise (1/2)
The elder bear woke up and did not feel as powerless as before so he tried to sit up until a voice stopped him. ”Do not get up until your body is fully recovered, right now you need to recuperate and regain your strength.”
The bear looked up and saw the deer standing by his son. ”The pain is no longer there but I still feel itchy on my wound. How did you heal me?”
He looked down and saw that the infected wound skin around his wound were no longer there and the cleaned wound had already began to scab over, in time it would leave behind another scar on his body.
”You have suffered many wounds from many battles, during the healing process your body also has to fight off infection and illness. Every injury and loss of blood adds up to worsen your overall condition, then there is your age... if you were younger you may have been able to fight off the infection but as you are now you became greatly weakened. Your wound became rotten and infected further from not being properly treated after a long time. I had to remove the rotten flesh, force out the infected blood from your body and speed up the healing process.” Shadow spoke nonchalantly.
”I do not fully understand everything you said but thank you.” The elder bear replied while further inspecting his wound clearly impressed.
The sun bear beside Shadow walked over and placed a plant next to the elder. ”Eat this, it should help with your recovery.”
The elder bear looked at the plant, looked at his son and then Shadow and back at the plant again. ”Okay.”
His emotions inside were quite complicated, he knew his son well...
His son seemed simple on the surface and too trusting but he was not completely hopeless.
His son would never get involved with anyone who had harmful thoughts towards his family or himself.
If someone was sincere towards him he would be accepting of them, judging from how he trusted in Shadows words proved that even if she had any thoughts towards their clan it would be in their benefit too.
Since she had already cured him he should keep his end of the deal.
”You said you come from the mountain, is that old monkey still alive?” The elder bear let out a sigh.
”Yes he is but his current situation is not favourable right now but I am working on changing that.” Shadow spoke with confidence. ”The clans he allied with in the past are on the verge of a revolt so there will soon be a large battle. So I need allies not just for the survival of those I wish to stay alive but also for my future ambition.”
”Ambition?” The elder bear looked towards her with interest.
”I want to leave this small world in which we are trapped and see the much larger world but right now we are blocked from doing so until we break through the barrier that traps us inside. This place we live in is a prison, we all believe we are born free but do not realise the truth. We see our limits in strength in this small world but what we do not realise is that in the outside world we are merely ants in the eyes of those who live in this outside world. So I need allies to grow strong together, to explore new lands, to face new enemies. I need your clan and many others to overcome these hardships.” Shadow spoke again while revealing the cold harsh truth of this world and then promised. ”My promise to you is that I will find the way to escape from this barrier, take you all with me and let you experience a new world while you will face hardships I will also be there to face them with you.”
During the time they were talking Shadow began to remove the arrow from the sun bears bottom and began treatment until she finally finished and waited for the elder bears response.
”I see, this is a lot to take in all at once. I will discuss this with my son and let you know my reply.” The elder bear was very surprised in his heart. ”Son first escort the young lady out of our territory safely.”
