Chapter 15 Caveman life 5 (1/2)
”do you like bear meat?”
looking a the cub shadow death panther in front of him Mars decided to try and bribe it with food first
”...”
but the panther just stared at him with its usual cold cat eyes, Mars assuming it was suspicious of him tried to explain further
”you know the giant bear that was living in a cave near here?”
as Mars mentioned the place the bear was living a light of murderess hostility flashed in the eyes of the panther before its horns flashed sending a telepathic message to him
”know... bear”
Mars sensing the hostility of the panther captiously explained further
”i killed that bear a few days ago, and now the meat is starting to go bad so i want to share the meat with you”
the panther look at him confused for a few seconds before its horns flashed again
”human... why lying?”
”i am not lying, i killed it”
”...”
seeing that the panther still didn't believe him Mars got an idea and asked the panther
”you have a good nose right? do i not have the smell of that bear?”
a little after he asked the panther moved a little closer and gave him a sniff and quickly jumped back as its horns flashed again
”smell fire... but also bear”
”yes as i have been living in the cave after i killed the bear and sleeping on its hide so naturally i smell a little like the bear”
”...”
the panther still had a confused look in its eyes a few seconds before it changed to hostility as its horns flashed
”human... friends with bear... try to cheat me”
as soon as the words entered his head Mars knew the situation was deteriorating and quickly tried to explain as he saw that the surroundings of the panther was being covered in some sort of dark shadow that was oozing out from its body
”no i am not friends with the bear! even if i where why would i cheat you?”
”...”
seeing his exponentiation had some effect as the dark shadow that was speeding out from the panther had stopped getting bigger Mars continued explaining as he appealed to the cats intelligence
”you are obviously smart so think about it, if the bear was alive would it allow me a human to be inside its territory let alone its cave”
after a few seconds the panther sent a new message
”no... bear would eat human”
”yes! then the fact that i have been living in its territory means?”
as Mars asked that, the darkness around the panther was slowly absorbed back into the pelt of the panther as it steered at Mars for a few seconds before asking
”then bear... is dead?”
”yes”
believing Mars this time some happiness passed through the eyes of the panther before it asked him another question
”then... why share meat”
faced with the still suspicious eyes of the panther Mars decided to come clean
”because you are the strongest i know in this forest and...”
finely acknowledging his own feelings Mars continued
”i want a friend i can talk to”
the panther was still a little confused but obviously a little that Mars had called it strong for a few seconds before its horns flashed
”why... does human want friend?”
as the panther asked it moved a little closer while slowly swaying its fluffy tail from side to side and its horns flashed again
”is human... lonely?”
seeing concern from the panthers eyes Mars felt something inside him tearing
”yeah i am lonely and... i am afraid”
the panther walked up to Mars stopping a few meters in front of him and asked as it tilted its head slightly
”why afraid... human strong”
not knowing if it was against the rules Mars still decided to tell the panther about himself
”i was born... no taken to this world not long ago with parts of my memories missing”
as he was speaking the panther sat down in front of him a looked Mars in his eyes when its horn flashed again while it tilted its head to the side
”human... not remember anything?”
”no i remember somethings like the place i was living and where i was working but... i do not remember any of the details or what my name was”
seemingly understanding what he was talking about the panther leaned its head closer as its horns flashed again
”then human... is like me?”
