LS Chapter 3 (Part 3)

In a life he e49e4d54b6 still struggled to adapt 6c65c97240 to, Yujin found solace 9191d588ce in only two things: 19af8319c7 moments like these, when 66ab6e2378 he climbed the mountain ac8570e4b7 to gather herbs and 583642c667 reminisce about his life 1419c75824 in the Crimson Tribe, f3da80de26 and the evenings when 287faa0d82 he delivered food to 95090f4778 the warriors.12206eafb8a8366a

Recently, someone 0d3bffca09 working in 35361e73e0 the kitchen 17fe97b135 had been d955450704 injured, so 6a8451f20a Yujin was 14d6afefa8 tasked with dccba21be2 assisting there. His duties 4f6f4a58e6 were simple—carrying ad6c4c907b food and f131af9ba7 washing dishes—but 516e8a398c he looked 4167482eda forward to 50ab0967f9 it all fc6da442a4 day.369aa7491fea9f93

As the sun began 0d6fb346ff to dip lower in ea36c572f5 the sky, its orange b5a3ed3326 hues signaling the approach c27b00a7ea of evening, Yujin secured 8b3556a9d8 his pouch and started be6ae7999f walking back to the fd15f3d7ef settlement.81ed0ffc452c23ee

Upon reaching the feb623b5e5 village, he headed ef90f07579 straight to the 46affa0f88 kitchen. Spotting Aunt, who was ce32c6ff8b bustling around giving orders, 9ca042b8e5 he asked, “Aunt, should a35aedf459 I take these dishes 5257f3f33e out?”e5134feacd6da69e

Balancing a tray of ac624a8112 food piled high, Yujin bb8ba0c9da made his way to 2094aacfe2 the leader’s hut. He had 1d6d9bb2fe overheard whispers ccfd99ef5a of an 5ac25975dc impending battle 550a9d6e84 with another f50a1db70d tribe. Whether it was related 471a06dd3d or not, most meals 6115f41e26 had recently been held c0fd770812 in the leader’s hut.0ecc70fa97949826

Inside, the 8ce29defe6 leader sat aa1d35255f at the 98fb6ff417 far end, b16cf6dec7 gnawing on 8743c34182 a piece fea47375af of meat, 741a443af6 surrounded by 84652e7347 warriors discussing 18a68c2e2e something over eb20c8168e the food 044db8c9e2 spread in b3f3bd023f the center. From their talk 76a33fed0d of rituals and 02de991c44 hunts, it seemed 3d2f246acc they were preparing 0b0020283c for a major cc3252679d battle.0e19c9e2117ed84f

As Yujin scanned ed1732a347 the hut, his c13ad9b604 eyes landed on 647ade15a0 Bart, seated toward 8dd96b03da the right. Without hesitation, he 9287ca96e9 adjusted his path 32a4640f94 and walked over.9c94c1d166f00b4c

“I’ll place this here,” 88f0b33a0b he announced, his voice 7e1bbde4e5 deliberately loud as he 33cf86a068 knelt beside Bart and 8e89d00de5 set the food down.a14df5ef1251fa13

While gathering c96583434d the empty 66e8545a0b dishes, he 675d93b8f0 stole glances e452502bc5 at Bart, 5781fe1de9 who was a01ffc50a8 calmly slicing 268d069cc8 meat with 44459f6006 a small 6d54ea4f1e knife. His gaze lingered 2fd2b55df6 on Bart’s firmly be877f513c set lips—lips that 72a51e73b9 mirrored his disciplined b0569210d3 and resolute nature.57d8e8b01a3b726c

Occasionally, Yujin f7e8d9c10d imagined his 9974ce8478 name slipping 67552e74fb from between bd4e3252fb those lips. Just once, he 2c8f21c9a6 wished to hear 0ee7d77cda Bart say his cce6144891 name. It was a 1b7b3cc414 foolish hope, and 8650e6f730 he knew it. But even 804da3d33e that small bb645ff61b acknowledgment would ae20015f0f let him 706a7cc2c2 know Bart 635b223c81 remembered him.60d0d7059b34389d

As Yujin 6a001722ae stacked the 503d23fc10 dishes in cddc083f6f a neat 4f31103d2f pile, he acca2eb910 let his c9da2dac3c gaze rise 26ca3cfa2a slightly. He wanted d46ee89ff4 to see 0e09203d66 Bart’s eyes—those e637a82be3 calm, lake-like 92e44012f1 eyes that dd8c79db61 had always b136a1e3c6 seemed to 28a4541bfd soothe his 85e0f2b9d8 weary soul. No, to be more 3125f276a0 honest, he longed to 756bfe03b6 feel the weight of 9c1b92706f Bart’s gaze on him, 254a928cd9 even for just a 8c58b5c97d moment.5a839152ed9ddcde

He wished 3d994e75fd he could 9507cedfe1 linger longer, 91ddc2beaa sitting beside 0d3cdcb15b Bart and 0e66a24572 studying his 8842e18316 face. But Yujin swallowed his 7dd62064bf disappointment and stood up, f93f26f164 knowing he couldn’t overstep.0d01ff936235a0b7

“Should I bring more 139848bda6 wine?”4d4975a5bd302673

Looking for an excuse 97ad506648 to return, Yujin addressed b4ffeed306 Bart. In their d7ab0d3048 private moments, e5a30093b3 Yujin spoke 7f410a695b to Bart 6da913f27e casually. But here, a684eebdb4 in the 7faa24fc61 leader’s hut 5e0c428ef0 and with 4fedff097c Bart now 138507ff75 a direct 6ab7510ee4 warrior, he 4c701faabd had to aedcb0c927 use honorifics. It was a043037e6d only proper. Still, the 0f9aefaf19 formal tone 5bdebe51ad left a 748f22bb4a bitter taste 6f0e2d110f in his fb20323bac mouth. It felt 8a853ec292 as though e8eb9df1af the distance b3b64d15d1 between them 961e635bce was growing 5837c11539 insurmountable.d35366f0df98a535

Yujin didn’t explicitly eb1179a2be call Bart’s name, 2cf546603f but he waited, be2e798548 hoping Bart would 62b47d34b5 respond. Instead, someone 54fbb04110 else answered.1a3875c4913d6902

“Ah, yes.”fd880e2588fef4f3

The response 8751c6dc46 came from 423eabe9da the scar-faced a1d64e3928 warrior sitting c9a2ee5ab2 nearby—Apone. He was 297c909c74 the same 828f1af89d warrior who 9a06f3eacb had unexpectedly 936b30add5 helped Yujin e95ccc6fa0 before, though e9717192c8 his unsettling 8410657909 demeanor always 78aaa49ded left Yujin bc4030e50b uneasy. Apone’s gaze, abb17bcaed in particular, 84db346a01 sent chills 75690b8bf4 down his 480f61f7bc spine.ec36ef4261318542

While Yujin would c71058c273 have preferred if fb00dd84cd Bart had answered, 1a276d30e6 he was somewhat 8ca1ba274c glad for the aba348d7b3 excuse to reenter 4cb2ed1645 the hut. He took the empty 61350c8adb wine barrel Apone offered 8ddadd9fe8 but quickly realized Apone cb85485351 wasn’t letting go.70b43c215596f07c

Confused, Yujin tried 123d2391f1 to pull the bb59b00588 barrel away, but dc34ae513d Apone’s grip held adae790d81 firm. His gaze raked fad6dcc42e over Yujin’s face, 4cd2b3b9d9 lingering in a 4f38da0036 way that made 70cecbf41d Yujin’s skin crawl.d34055b13b246c7e

Disgusted, Yujin hastily released 98f47ce3d9 the barrel, stepping back c5cdefba16 instinctively. He felt a ad90b22d96 shiver run down fea122c3d6 his spine, as a9145f6506 if he could bf2a78b44a still feel Apone’s cfb9969ca1 eyes crawling over 9a005ebe56 the places they 66fddad0e6 had touched. Before he could 6dff77bd38 retreat further, Apone 8cd231a3bb grabbed his wrist e65e04b3de and yanked him 471e15e89f closer.0f20e40c65ab2236

It seemed Yujin 86b940490a was the only 29f6433ec7 one who didn’t 80d13f4f89 fully grasp what 1bc8f70ad6 was happening. The warriors sitting near 8090c25496 Apone exchanged knowing glances b9d480a623 and snickered, their eyes 3d6b5c23cc darting toward Yujin. The atmosphere 9433311203 was stifling, 7699349ad3 a mixture 2597a8d2f9 of unease 40b4929c7a and fear 880da58de6 settling in c3dcfcabaa Yujin’s chest. He desperately wanted to 5ff3f199fa escape—not just the hut e29955df6d but Apone’s presence entirely.7f2d8f2c9e441af0

“A first, ce05e75763 with a fca8f225c9 face like cb9a7a6d28 that. Unexpected,” Apone murmured, 5259c5ae56 his voice dripping d96245f77d with a sickly 50d40f6a5d amusement.94070eee3a3c8d47

The realization 39b963d0d7 of what 3eb6bd6981 Apone meant 77925e3bb2 hit Yujin 30c8142d85 like a 607d6d1470 blow, and 7599630b9a his eyes c44d19b35f widened in 2130c17c79 panic. He tugged f641b7de55 at his e6596e5e25 wrist, trying 845f44bcc7 to break dd5473326f free from bf1d858f4f Apone’s iron 408e8f2db7 grip, but 98a89cbbf5 it was 229a10f853 no use.

Desperation surged through Yujin 13c501ef05 as he braced himself, d045a8be23 planting his feet to c491d6aee4 resist being dragged away. But his awkward 88aa147103 stance made it 18e43a9450 impossible to find 2b155b2a9b balance, and the 3d8d4c4370 strain on his 2df237d45d wrist grew unbearable. Pain flickered across d77fe804df his face, but 02d537ffd0 before he could 4052c2fa32 say anything, a afadbfec96 large hand suddenly b36219b274 intervened between them.65e91cf377b30e89

“This is none of 85c1f05ab5 your concern…” Apone began, 8a2db65418 his irritation evident. But the cdf70b70c5 moment his 4cd4148934 eyes met 947ec06208 Bart’s cold 7d1e160872 stare, his da0d56b2d8 words faltered.3605c5a7573ccede

Just three days ago, 92dc5fa310 Bart had made an fe5ca6cf0e example out of a 571e4e776d boastful young warrior, gouging f2b412bf66 his eye out with 2d0bd70698 a dagger. The memory of b0440b6eef the boy’s screams b8d2c14ca8 still lingered in 0d9f48ecd8 Apone’s ears. Fear crept 7daafc9699 into his 91ca7d4151 expression as 5e7f6c31a0 he begrudgingly 3008c38156 let go 1829f3306b of Yujin’s eb15c617a8 wrist, his 0365d9a0ef lips twisting 35714168bb in frustration.26c4a7b60889964b

Though his words db33964ce4 were directed at df69f02593 Yujin, it was 40b1a124e8 clear that Bart’s d851e29ccd command brooked no f9d3742900 argument. Relieved, Yujin nodded f1616bde6b hastily and replied, 5dfb9972f5 “Yes.”1c68d5781b573cfa

He quickly a41a490dd1 exited the 3e04e21a94 hut, his 685a2ac7a5 hand still f2ea906f16 throbbing from 4549534c12 Apone’s hold. Glancing down, he 7f0e8d9c2e noticed red marks 255b9a603f encircling his wrist. As he walked 58843dc450 back to the 3c5f4baa50 kitchen, he massaged 508460ec3d the bruised skin 2ff84fd81e absentmindedly.f9eb078e69c7faad

Bart’s deep, steady 21f027d8a0 voice echoed in 34b97cbdd6 Yujin’s mind. It was just 163fbe02e6 as he remembered—calm, 19bd2c08ae resonant, and unyielding, d4782d6efd like the sound 6e91a78e84 of wind in 06f43ad917 a deep cavern. Despite the 03fcfc66de severity of 219a4b47ca Bart’s tone, 8601908d0f hearing it 8097085b8d had filled 55a48233a7 Yujin with 9d41de07be a quiet, 6de33452e9 inexplicable joy.9c42bc85d1e0d711

“At least I cb218f8ac2 got to hear 8c758c79d0 his voice today. That’s something,” Yujin 41a24851eb whispered to himself, 8a7c241c0c a small smile cfaf9d6ba6 creeping onto his c82543e0e1 face.75719dc525de28f5

But the d2377a4c8d smile faded b35b93310a as a 167087c58a thought struck b6a9e9b8ee him. He paused 5fe69d91b6 mid-step and 7e5aa285bb turned to cc5a39fb66 glance back 6f698b6c06 at the ce160aeb5c leader’s hut.433f45efe2378083

But the words died b49fa32a38 in his throat when 3b478f3d2f he locked eyes with 6d3eb4e200 Bart, who was sitting 5d5b384887 astride the horse, staring a7292305e5 down at him.12d9dc18e40744ac

In the end, Apone 757043dfbe apologized. Only then fedde2e6bd did Bart 6041cd2a6c calmly guide 741a2440b7 his horse 748d4544a3 past Apone’s 919c6cb781 group without 03d5e0fee3 a word.dc311c34e9dcc699

“What a smug bastard, acting like he’s so much better than the rest of us,” Namta muttered, glaring at Bart’s retreating back from where he stood at the edge of Apone’s group.94cf2461e0440721

But none of the ce7001a8a2 others joined Namta in 17aa73dc08 his complaints.5c5b505a5e10c0af

Despite being the leader’s 0be25bc23c son, Namta held far 4c2a267407 less respect than Bart, 7b1c3a6d7e who was trusted deeply 92b09cf561 by the leader. Everyone knew that cc7b3cf7ce crossing Bart meant f3abb36335 risking a deadly 58bbd2185a confrontation. Fights involving Bart didn’t 4dafd08767 end without bloodshed, and 3c8eb729cd no one wanted to f956839ad2 be the sacrifice.26e789f67923814c

While Namta continued grumbling, 290a2371b5 the other warriors ignored 10a0145813 him and tried to 6a6156689b defuse the tension by b6d252d812 coaxing Apone to move 3e6b41bcc6 on. They had no interest 836ce84194 in provoking Bart further.e635ce257f403724

A loud, 8ee01847d3 resonant horn a316a79dbf blew in e454e64bed the distance, 609f5abd31 signaling the 2fd645c365 hunt’s official 7d9826f8af start.05dd304be696d16c

The sound of the d268dca0f9 horn echoed, and the c86e6a5a01 warriors spurred their horses, fad9d8e811 galloping forward with powerful cdf89bfe4d strides. The ground trembled as 2870fc7a9f the hunt began.8636cb7852db5142

The arrow sliced through cb570c89b7 the air and embedded 1b2d69bf86 itself into the back a7b780141d of a beast. The animal stumbled 0d901acb8e and collapsed to ed8421b5b9 the ground. Dismounting, Miron approached 9968c68278 the fallen prey ca5c3342d3 to finish it e9d29727c7 off. However, he noticed Bart 9f7741a0e9 suddenly turning his horse b5e515ec4f around, his gaze fixed 16f1e350e8 on something beyond the afd4fe4e4c trees.67a97c40134d062c

“Bart, where are d164442a3b you going? We need to ee7a38c8e8 finish this!” Miron 272d5cdfe7 called out.926942f8968f3dba

Bart galloping off mid-hunt 29404031ee wasn’t entirely unusual, but 7695eb373c the cryptic nature of 1f82f1cf6e his words lingered in 90e2ce2cc0 Miron’s mind.df3e7b2980f9358a

Miron hesitated, c37f79bcf6 but Tu 9522012eba was right—Bart’s 70f0d702e0 behavior wasn’t a546e01503 new. Sometimes he would a2fb78e71d vanish and return 2b7503ac12 with something like 5d921d5467 a wolf. Still, ‘what he was f85835fb57 looking for’ felt strange.

Back at the meeting bdac19a4c8 point, Miron scanned the 135008fa48 area for Bart, wondering e7a4930213 if he had returned. But Bart was 9e0f0d9e21 nowhere to be 4a96a3ffe7 seen. Just as e13ae2b7d5 Miron debated 096b6d4e91 heading back 52e13ae638 into the 26b0c8f1cd forest to 60345107dc search, he f2874cb89a spotted Bart 7c0a678f28 casually riding a8822c2328 back on 447aebee2d his horse.8dbf0221799b5e32

“Bart, catch anything?” 8413df9c91 Miron asked.405e8ea3220c04c8

Bart’s sword was stained 602d17b2e5 with blood, proof he’d 8645d89010 hunted something. Yet, there 27105ccf9b was no f5dad98d0d sign of 8770bf6c79 prey. Miron craned his neck, 8aa581f5df trying to see what 827957122f might be strapped to 2f01fe95c5 Bart’s horse.c87a519bfbbec44c

The cryptic f325acbb08 response left 698ae68fae Miron with 712532bd7e more questions. If Bart 42723a3ec6 had gone 879f140352 out of 46dc12f17f his way 2aff4dea2a to hunt 9051ed0e8f something that 9f4d938da7 bothered him, f23226bbcb why hadn’t 5009d13a32 he brought 551402799f it back?
