7 Time For Some Hunting (2/2)

From the side, Luna chipped in, ”Also, keep quiet and pay attention to your surroundings.”

Magna gave the twins a thankful smile as he only remembered the rules of hunting from his old world.

After an hour of crawling through the forest, the group came across a large group of rabbits. Argo leaned on a tree a small distance away from the rabbits and signalled Magna and Luna to cover the exit area.

Luna and Magna quickly spread out as quietly as possible. Once everyone was in position, Luna took in a deep breath before slinging a barrage of rocks towards the rabbits.

Startled, the rabbits quckly tried to disperse. Luckily, some rabbits were either killed by a rock to the head or injured to the point of not being able to run. Taking the panic as a signal, both Magna and Argo leaped out from where they were hiding before delivering the finis.h.i.+ng blow to the wounded animals.

The group had no time to rest, however, as they quickly tossed the rabbits into a bag before rapidly making there way towards he ruins.

While running, the group could hear the sound of howling bellow from behind them. Magna almost started to panic before catching sight of his sisters. While Argo may seem fine, he could tell her skin had turned pale as her eyes seemed to glow in an erratic light. Luna was worse off as she seemed to be on the verge of bursting into tears yet desperately tried to hold it in.

Magna forcefully calmed himself down with a deep breath. Suddenly, a warm feeling circulated in his body as he rapidly wrapped his arms around the girls and leapt up into the trees. As soon as his foot landed on a branch, he was surprised as he instantly leapt forward travelling on the treetops.

The girls only stared on in awe as Magna seemed to easily carry both of them and their game while easily traversing the treetops with nimble and agile steps.

After about 30 minutes, Magna stopped on a thick branch and collapse to his knees. Panting and sweating, Magna felt the world around him sway. Almost as soon as he started to fall, Argo and Luna hastily caught him and forced him to rest.

Looking into his half-opened eyes, Argo released a sigh of relief and muttered, ”…Luckily, he's still conscious. However, he's extremely fatigued and needs some time to rest.”

Rummaging around in her bag, Argo pulled out the flask of water, held it to his mouth and said, ”Drink.”

With a grateful nod, Magna greedily drank a couple mouthes full before stopping. Panting, Magna struggled for a couple seconds before saying, ”…Sorry, girls… I-”

Before he could finish, Luna covered his mouth with her tail as she giggled and said, ”What're you saying? You managed to get us out of there! As faunus, we have much better hearing than a human. And while that wasn't a pack of grimm, it was a large group of wolves.”

Receiving a small nod from Argo, she added, ”What you could hear was probably a scouting party. And from the amount of different howls we could hear, I'd say it would've been a pretty large group. If we were cornered by them, it could've been the end for us.”

Before Magna could even say a word in response, Argo light hushed his mouth with her finger as she said with a gentle smile, ”Don't worry, we're safe up in the trees. Just rest and we'll continue back to the ruins when your capable.”

Suddenly, Magna found himself in a warm and fluffy embrace as both sisters hugged him closely while covering him with their tails. Luna snuggled up against his chest while Argo snuggled up against his stomach.

Seeing the light smile they gave him as he became wrapped in a blanket of warmth, Magna slowly drifted to sleep under the watchful eyes of his adorable sisters.
