Chapter 107 Shadowsigh (2/2)

At once, Arran knehat he would do

It was a fitting end for a beast that had intended to eat him, but more importantly, this was the first time he had captured and killed a ifts fro he had achieved without help

After ait into pieces and discarding the entrails and fur It was hard and ht to see what he was doing, but after several hours of effort, he finished it as well as he could

His clumsy work caused him to waste ering ah to feed him for months, if not s Although he was eager to try it, he worried that the reht attract other wildlife, and he decided he should first try to reach the cave again

He kept it up for several hours until finally, he was too tired to continue He did not knohether he had achieved a proper balance, but weary as he was, it would have to suffice

He lay down on the cave floor, too tired to even lay down bedding Moments later, he was asleep
