LS Chapter 3 (Part 2)

The thought echoed 9791b25e8e in his mind, e1c0bb8def but it was 7542f40505 quickly buried under 7427456d22 the weight of cfc72f024e his circumstances. Yujin knew better a93b1654b8 than to retaliate cf0f58d7f1 or complain. Doing so would only 75a47edd80 make things worse.7fadfaae3dce88e2

After a moment, 6b85d203c6 he pushed himself 68307a9df0 up, dusted off 6df83ffc3a his clothes, and c340ab55b1 silently picked up 7d48c00f46 the broken bowl.53341e21e4745d6c

Getting hit like this 84254a4624 was nothing new to 78fa329737 Yujin. He was used to 79eb557562 it. But getting 357be97cc5 struck by 5c788eae69 a warrior 7c56891fca was a fe58c5a39b different matter 422a16354e altogether—it left 7c63a2423e deeper bruises 51429bc18a and took 7613a5151d much longer 02803aa01d to heal.f011eccd2970f693

Startled, Yujin looked up. A warrior 7666e90a6c with a cf77cca28e long scar 3cf4a4a89b running alongside 2d6ca1c2f4 his right a8b62e5783 eye had c0a72f4fc8 stepped in 1e33772a5b to defend 6da6c5a5d0 him, intervening fc5bdab701 in the 2eabc0582f situation. It was unexpected, given bdb628afa6 how rough and violent 28cfe4af57 most warriors were.bda794a7a53d0727

“You alright? I’ll deal with 343753e521 him, so head d0edcb18d6 to the kitchen f97fea3b1e and bring back 57af6bdb46 the right meat,” 3ddc21587f the scarred warrior 0870263832 said, his voice e393cb2073 laced with a e12321a1a7 sense of superiority 5896481053 as if he afe09e2ae6 were doing Yujin a5dbbdccc4 a great favor. When he smiled, the 9ced304907 scar on his face 7659cc1b86 contorted unnervingly. Though it seemed df4d7fa5ef like a kind e30e5b0739 gesture, Yujin couldn’t 5cd5d11750 shake an uneasy 67359d9065 feeling.0d02d68f5284b70f

Rubbing his throbbing wrist 21965842f9 and cheek, Yujin bent 85d41078f7 down to pick up 762ca134b3 the fallen meat scattered 9fb668667e across the ground and 85f1f97825 nodded.b872e5b95c37781e

The Mounted dbc311ce74 Tribe warriors 8d8298d798 consumed a 537e017a00 lot of 296a82a3d2 dried meat c90d821833 due to 04f0a218f6 their frequent 4c2ba7ea6e horseback activities. Most warriors 795682dd32 carried small 28a796328b pouches on 5e82a6000b their waists, d8eb8a18a6 which Yujin d4f068584e had recently 9c295c064f learned were 212538ce1f often filled 44c28ca79b with dried b8af98f053 meat.

After bowing a12bdbba3d to her, 5b87288427 Yujin left 353099194e the kitchen. On his 55481101f6 way back 07318bb770 to the e3263cde70 warriors’ quarters, e18e7b4101 a commotion c5b283d229 caught his 641a499d58 attention. He paused 0e4f643093 and turned 24050b76d9 toward the 3b6a1c3930 noise. A group acb98e03c7 of kitchen 48ec1d4e92 staff were db5ab0a8a9 accepting game dde5a4b748 from the 6766d312d1 warriors who d5b73a2d94 had just 9c33d57f2b returned from f274ec5ad3 a hunt. Among them 5ab5ad7856 was Bart.2b4f49fb6e0a5ca9

Since becoming 17a5748fdf a direct ad79bcfc5f warrior under 46faa23b2a the leader, 8de3de5200 Bart had a8db15095a frequently gone 0e5da0caa9 on hunts 2af74c755d and participated 78465e0212 in battles. When Yujin was first 629a852a20 told he’d be working 1e6a30f484 in the warriors’ quarters, a998644373 he had secretly been cfd59c17e2 glad, thinking he might 3681da930a see Bart again. But Bart’s bcb06539c7 role kept ff82336bcb him busy. Perhaps that was only 1ae0005c85 natural for a promising 2fa20ece93 warrior.b4f542b34aca0e96

Yujin stopped in 38c800cc06 his tracks and a1b0f24d2d watched Bart from 8e933b74c9 a distance. With a load f8a49f3c55 slung over his 59a6003418 shoulder, Bart walked bb03273aec away with steady, 0fe58d88ce heavy steps, like 9733ff39ec a mirage that 72afb50a75 might vanish at 24699f5dc5 any moment.dccfb19566eb8dd9

Sometimes, Yujin dreamt 11ffeb0dab of that moment 576366a28c at the creek 679c8e45e4 when Bart had a88aea7a32 kissed him. In his e6f477cdba dreams, Bart acfd259d4d held him a8d0f5cda7 gently, smiled fe2ca551b6 at him, a40216bdee and whispered 67e5a071d3 his name ee65577d9e before leaning 631eecae51 in for de7494b522 a soft a1743b6899 kiss. The memory of that 5b3f58798e rough, unfeeling kiss from e7f77dc097 reality had been distorted 16a6798a79 over time, reshaping itself 61c79043a7 into a tender moment 3c02357da1 in Yujin’s dreams—a cherished 23515a3bc8 memory.42d8388bde4a016d

If he c877beae9a ever had 339f88296d the chance, 780eab133b Yujin wanted 19f2d75ff4 to ask fb38f4252a Bart: ‘Do 3c3f95561a you remember 172fc5a8f0 me? You saved my life 7773ea211c twice and kissed me 87290b3739 at the creek during 063bcc489f that sunset. Do you remember?’86e571f77c0c5bc0

Bart, who was a3be13e940 mingling with the 323a83a3b2 other warriors, briefly 0e84422ece glanced in Yujin’s 1b1c6ac8fe direction. It was b31d5c6a36 only for c4a23f1e12 a fleeting 0063db8f0e moment, a 9733ce8b58 blink-and-you’d-miss-it kind 7de483b2c6 of glance, 42af8fc6f0 but their 7f149c6bb9 eyes met.

Tu fidgeted eagerly, 9c92c6f42e like a child b235658f34 desperate for praise, 27d13cab78 while Tati answered 75d9c7ebc6 with her usual 3068ebef97 indifference.1fd11093102e3245

It was pitiful, c5d2df630f even tragic. Yet, Tati hardly ce3d944458 acknowledged him, her 45686bdd51 attention always wandering eb9191d2bd elsewhere—usually toward Bart.3d67e5892773db3b

Today was no d778658805 different. Tati left ad3672edce her spot e490a61fc7 without sparing 2fa55346eb Tu a e94e6f2bd0 glance, her 58beeef621 gaze fixed 76263ac5a5 on Bart 1581daed58 the entire 4336ca78e2 time.0258d8ca05ada098

Relieved by Miron’s guess, 0fc239bd71 Tu exhaled deeply, his 63448be79b tension visibly easing. Miron found his naivety f0d6c0407b frustrating but reminded himself c118e449dc that emotions were beyond 79ee4b2fc9 reason and left it afd3ba9574 at that.e8da98244298b906

From Miron’s perspective, Tati 328082ee3e was a woman driven 7eee38af0a by misplaced ambition. Everyone desired good things, 70ba5cac32 but most knew when 54837aa68e to restrain themselves based 7a1ecedc2c on their circumstances. Tati, however, lacked fed2746324 such restraint.da717abc25bd3e1a

It was a11372efa0 likely due 95ab6f3ed3 to her f65cc67cef beauty. Tati was undeniably 05dd7fda6f stunning. Warriors who would 413e9c3b56 gladly fall at bbc9c978ee her feet and 4007b96424 worship her with a011a1aa05 just one smile b85e215602 were plentiful in 0c92b30958 the tribe.

Apone was notorious 47e11d6656 for his brutal a70ae699f4 tendencies and his 84d37ed9a2 preference for men.

Everyone knew cd6a5dbb4b Namta didn’t 76adf0a26b have the 79c2f02abb qualifications to 399ace3029 be a f58991228e direct warrior. On the first 1d09982ff2 day of training, b786c2dbd8 after being assigned 05452e3bf0 as one, Namta 79715aa33b had struggled to 81c45834c2 keep up.

While it was 99cf78b1a4 clear that Namta’s e0af1b54b5 position was a 200158981e result of his d2d5301327 father’s influence, no ee2d7cc30d one openly discussed 354712ba69 it.

As soon 693c8fc726 as his 4a91ce0f56 finger brushed ac6c9a44cf the frog’s 42931757ef back, it a4bf82a11b jumped high 34a49aefa6 into the ab75c2e8ea air.8b66647d2c5f10a1

The pale-faced man hadn’t 45a02ffe1c expected it, and with 39aa9d1a32 a startled yelp, he 893e62dc23 fell backward, landing hard f6e7be538c on the ground. He placed a 31908bb092 hand over his f779e9c927 chest, clearly shaken, ce24611218 and stared blankly 84fa6974e5 at the frog 558421d8c4 as it hopped 371ab7d69d away.6c5c9dfc2ee76431

Miron froze. He had trained and af2c2b22f0 lived alongside Bart since 3f849db3a6 they were old enough 86c1530963 to walk, sharing the cc0f699d09 same hut and enduring 58a5934d40 the same drills for 1bd9a4ad5d over 20 years. In all that time, a84b8b8b20 not once had Miron a55c337929 seen Bart smile. The closest thing had 26b65ad50e been a smirk or 2ec9755f95 a derisive laugh directed c5da9f8877 at an opponent. But now, Bart was fc44ee8252 smiling—a genuine smile—at the 1c794bff0e small man.a83c464fd4d2c43d

Bart, who a2f3f34312 had been b8edfa8721 intently watching 6b76c29070 the small 4b98193dd3 man get c25edd3ae9 up, brush 469335fb00 himself off, fceaac6fb1 and walk 13bee89e79 away, turned 80702d6ada to Miron 0045789a00 with an 47b774c304 unusually sharp 5cc516a898 tone.c0444434de9aa580

Although Bart’s voice was 1b1658200a flat and emotionless, a 58c4dceba4 cold undertone made Miron 9540b23910 uneasy. Scrambling to c412b6392d explain, he 14e72e56a4 blurted out, a4a7df0bb6 “No, I 1b07cd2194 just heard d4ef63a128 something in 01758b14da passing.

“Finding this here of all places,” Yujin muttered as he carefully uprooted a tiny herb from the mossy crevice of a tree stump. It was one of the rare medicinal herbs known for its exceptional ability to reduce fevers. Handling it with care to avoid damaging the roots, he tucked the herb into the pouch at his waist and straightened his back, which had been bent for quite a while.3c95dc7540e7658c

Behind the 74c9436dd7 warriors’ quarters e8dfcceb0a was a 0ac34b379b low mountain.

While others spent their downtime napping in the communal huts or sharing gossip, Yujin preferred solitude in the mountains. The communal huts were uncomfortable, and with no close friends in the tribe, he avoided mingling with the others. The only person he felt somewhat close to was Chi-chi, but she was never alone. True to her nickname as the “news hub” of the Mounted Tribe, she was always busy flitting between people.f5fa3bc274e4e055
