245 Little Bird (2/2)

He smiled and picked her up, he then sat with her on his lap and said: ”Hmm. To put it simply, it's like a tribe that stretches as far as the eyes could see. There also more people in it compared here.”

Raven was also aware that it wasn't just her who's curious about where he came from. Neman and the rest were already listening intently to him as he answered her question.

”Really!?” Nana's eyes shone, ”Many people? How many Big Brother?”

”Millions of people.” Raven replied, but when he saw Nana tilted her head in confusion, he thought that he had to be more creative in his description.

”Do you know what a Mountain is?” Raven asked, Nana nodded her head so he continued: ”If you stack a million people on top of each other, you could form a tall mountain. That's how many people we have.”

”Waa~!!” Nana exclaimed, not really knowing what to say, ”Say Big Brother? Are there a lot of food and water in your home?”

”Of course!” Raven nodded and decided to brag a little bit, ”We never ran out of food and will never run out of it. We have so much that we have to eat at least three times a day in order to make sure we leave them to rot in there. As for water, we have even more of that. Back in my home, all you have to do is ask and anyone would give you water. The same one's I gave you before.”

Nana's eyes were shining like brilliant stars as she listened to his stories. Even the one's who are listening were gaping at him. They looked at their empty plates and jugs while thinking about his statement.

That plate of food was something they will gladly risk their lives for yet in Raven's home, there was too much that it was rotting. This jug of clean water is something that they will gladly sell their souls for but it was given for free. How could there be such a thing?

Some didn't buy it, but for some reason they wanted to believe him.

”Big Brother? Isn't it dangerous outside? Mama and Papa always told me that there are big and scary monsters outside that could eat me whole. Aren't you afraid of them?”

”Hmm.” Raven mused for a bit and said: ”It is true that there are big and scary monsters outside, but we are stronger than most of them. Yes, others could eat you whole but in our home we eat them instead. And I won't be here if I'm afraid of them, right?”

*Squawk!*

”Speaking of which…” Raven narrowed his eyes as he heard that.

The tribesmen who heard the similar thing shivered and hurriedly dropped to the ground. They looked at the skies only to see a huge bird flying down towards their tribe.

”Uwaa!! It's the Lord!! What do we do! He's gonna eat us again!” Nana panic as she clutched Raven's clothes.

”Lord?” Raven frowned, it was Neman who explained what she meant.

”It's the Lord Bird. Every six months, it will fly down to our tribe and claim some lives. We tried fighting it multiple times but failed, we will just end up with more injured people so we stopped resisting.” Neman sighed and continued: ”Please hide yourself young friend. We can't allow you to be injured because of out negligence.”

”Are you serious?” Raven asked almost in a rhetorical manner, ”This little bird is bullying you?”

”L-Little Bird…” Neman was stunned by how Raven address something they called as the Lord. He then saw Raven shook his head and comforted the scared Nana.

”Don't be afraid.” Raven said as he walked with Nana in his arms. Everyone panicked when the saw him do this but their fear prevented them from moving forward. Seeing Raven bravely walking forward made the 'Little Bird' angry so it let out some threatening squeals.

”Noisy.” Raven waved his hand and just like that, the head of the Little Bird exploded into bits and pieces. He then looked at Nana who was staring agape in his arms and said:

”See? I told you I'm strong.”
