Chapter 05: "Shelter."

After certain events, currently Kiay, Alada, and Rimei have materials to make weapons.

They were in a large tree collecting ropes from large branches the size of a tree, and ropes that were leaf branches.

Kiay: "How do you do this? Isn't it too big to carry, we are only two, did you forget?!" [so cold! This place is too windy!]

Rimei: "Usually 10 people carry this, and when the giant leaves fall down below, but since we have Alada on our side, it'll be much faster and easier -" she almost falls and breathes heavily.

[Rimei, don't look down, don't look down.] Rimei, looked down and got very scared.

Kiay grabs her hand, "Don't be careless just because she (Alada) is with us! Or you'll die! Don't be afraid or it'll worsen our situation!!"

Rimei, scared: "Sorry... I'll be more careful!" [Pull yourself together Rimei! You won't die so pathetically!] she slaps herself hard in the face.

Then both use vine ropes tied to large leaf ropes.

(the large leaf ropes are basically the core of the leaf, the part that looks like a branch, thin.)

Kiay: "do you think they're secure? this rope worries me!"

Rimei: "I don't know, I just did the best I could with the little time I had, but Kiay, it'll be okay, just hold on! And let's finish quickly to get out of this horrible place."

Kiay was scared and had never done anything like this before, [I hope this is enough, we need branches to make a shelter and stones to make tools, Rimei's knife is great, but extremely fragile, this obsidian knife is amazing.]

"Alada... we're ready, you can go." Then Alada held onto the leaf ropes and carried them to the cave with both of them on top of Alada tied tightly to not fall, with the winds seeming to get stronger and scarier every second from that angle.

Already in the cave, both were freezing, Alada warmed them with her warm and long wings, once Rimei warmed up, she came out from under the wing, grabbed the branches, and began cutting the woods or in this case, branches, with her newly made small knife.

At that moment, she wanted to wake up sleeping Kiay, but she didn't want to wake her up since she was so tired.

Despite her body already having maturity of an adult, she must be exhausted, and too stressed, since we almost died many times up there, which is a lot for her still, anyway (looking at Kiay sleeping on Alada's wings)

Rest young leader, I hope we can have help soon, too much work for too few people, can I bring one of them?

Isn't it better not to, they might try to kill her, maybe one of the exiles from the large lagoon, I'll talk to her about it later.

for now just rest child tomorrow will be a long and hard day, maybe worse than today, let Alada help us survive everything.

The next day, as dawn broke, Kiay woke up and saw Rimei sleeping, after staying up all night cutting wood, her hands were completely covered in calluses and cuts, she had made several boards, and stones for an axe, knives, and ropes.

"Thank you, friend, this will help a lot." She smiled, grabbed her by the arms, and dragged her under Alada's wing.

Okay, weapons, tools, and boards, we still need clothes and stones to cover the excess holes.

And also reinforce the house... let me think, at this rate, it'll take us a month or more to build a house, and we need more people, when she wakes up I'll talk to her about it, right, we need a lot of things, to have the basics, if Alada gets hurt, we're dead, this place can only be reached by flying, and it's a safe place but extremely difficult to get to and leave, we need to make a rope ladder.

And something to cut the woods more easily. (sigh) I'm getting more questions than answers.

maybe some help from-

Kiay hears a noise that sounded like wolves howling near the nest, she approached and saw several wolves looking up, directly to where the cave in the steep mountain was.

"Isn't it what I'm thinking?! They can't climb this high, we're way above the ground for them to reach... we haven't set up many traps yet!"

Kiay at that moment remembered something her father said. "Daughter.... No matter the reasons, avoid fighting with wolves or killing one of them. They always seek revenge against those who do, and they never give up."

Kiay: "But we didn't kill any wolves, we didn't kill any wolves but he, that dog, Alada killed was walking with one.

So the one that escaped warned where our hiding spot was? what a damn wolf.

dad I know you said not to kill wolves, but I prefer they die than us!"

Kiay wakes up Rimei with several slaps on the face: "Wake up Rimei!!!"

Rimei: "Ow, what's happening?! can't I sleep?"

Kiay: "Wolves, targeting our shelter, what does that mean?"

Rimei: "It means they'll attack us, in at most a week, and at least three days."Kiay: "Do they take all this to attack?"

Rimei: "Not exactly and we're very far from down here, so until they manage to get up here it could take this or more days."

Kiay: "We almost died like 10 times yesterday in that tree that never stopped windy for a single second, and now a pack is trying to kill us... We're very lucky huh Rimei?"

Rimei: "Yeah..."

Kiay: "Let's finish the traps quickly and let's attack them as soon as they're up, and let's bring them all down, and make some very comfortable beds. I can't wait for warmer clothes!"

Rimei amazed by the young girl's attitude,

"You're quite extraordinary..."

Kiay: "We need to be brave, and we need 2 more people, just that, more than that Alada won't be able to carry. Do you have any idea who can help us or who needs a small tribe like ours?"

Rimei: "Apart from my family, only the exiles from the large lagoon."

Kiay: "Why were they exiled?"

Rimei: "I don't know, they were all exiled for different reasons, I wanted to invite a rabbit friend, he knows how to make tools and is a great cook, and a cat friend, only these two from the lagoon tribe."

Kiay: "Later we'll get them for our tribe and also kill some wolves."

Rimei: "Yes... Leader Kiay."
