Chapter 7: Mosquito Infestations

last update Last Updated: 2022-09-22 08:16:12
Recreating the habitats of the animals was tricky, but my father decided to simulate the original habitats of those animals in a small area, then placed a fence around it with a door for the tribespeople to enter when feeding the animals and collecting the eggs or cubs.

My father also instructed the tribespeople to make separate housing for the new hatchlings and cubs of the small animals for domestication. They even created a smaller version of the incubation room of the tribe for the incubation of the animal eggs with controlled temperature management.

The incubation room was a hut with a stone-made fireplace to heat the room, especially during autumn and winter. The fireplace was constantly checked by the elders to ensure the safety of the eggs while keeping them warm. Everything went smoothly after that, and so the livestock were slowly domesticated by the tribe.

    After waiting for the silkworms to finish creating their cocoons during the autumn, I checked the ones that I had placed inside the cups, and I was so happy with the output. It was already wintertime, and they had become perfectly shaped cocoons. I decided to ask my father to make a small wooden reel similar to a fishing reel and a mini weaving tool. It would be hard to explain how to make these tools because paper and pencils were not yet invented. So, I could only use smooth wooden planks and carve the drawing with a knife to show my father the output I wanted to make. I waited for my father to return to the Elder Healer's treehouse from his daily routine during dinner to show him my drawings. He came home earlier than usual, but he seemed to be in a bad mood. He was covered with snow all over his hair, beard, coat, and feet. He looked like a young version of Santa Claus with a scar on his face. I welcomed him with a huge hug, using my small arms and wings spread widely, while my

  • Ari   Chapter 9: Survival

    I was lucky to still have my memories from my previous life, so I was able to survive a few years of my life in the tribe. It was springtime, and it was my seventh year since my rebirth. The night before I attended my first day of school, I dreamed of a beautiful lady with platinum-silver hair and golden eyes. She hugged me and smiled at me while saying, "Good job, my dear Ari; please remember that I love you." I woke up the next morning feeling nostalgic while trying to remember the rest of the dream, but all I could clearly remember were the words she uttered. I couldn't even remember her face. I stood up and prepared my things before my father knocked on the door and called me to eat my breakfast so he could bring me to the pavilion before he accompanied the hunting team. The elders started to gradually accept me despite my condition, especially after I helped solve the issues of food shortages during the winter and my creation of fabric. Female cubs like me were taught how to

  • Ari   Chapter 10: A Terrible Tribe Incident

    The wind was so cold on top of the trees. Luckily, I was wearing the cloak that my father had given me, and the feathers on my wings were already thick enough to endure the cold wind. I also got my pants slightly torn underneath when my tail suddenly appeared. The back of my clothes and cloak were also torn due to my wings. I now understood why a beastman normally wears skirts only. I decided to plan the design of my clothes again when I got back home, as I landed on the branch of the tallest tree. Then I got mesmerized upon realizing the color of the forest. "How peaceful and nostalgic..." I whispered to myself. I was laying down on the branch while watching as the wind blew some of the leaves, causing them to slowly fall off the trees and paint the ground orange. It was such an artistic scene that, if only paint and canvas were available, I would have already painted it, even if I was not good at painting. I wanted to take a nap, but I suddenly heard a loud scream from a distan

  • Ari   Chapter 11: Mommy

    The deaths of their children were detrimental to any parent. It was understandable that my mother suffered the most during the huge boar incident to the point of losing her mind; she had already lost two of her hatchlings during the dengue incident four years ago, and now she had lost another three. It was saddening to hear her cry every now and then. Her voice could be heard all over the tribal territory, and no one could do much to help her ease the pain—not even my own father. I was also grieving for the loss of my siblings; they were precious to me since I had never had any siblings in my previous life. I also cried while blaming myself for not being able to save them while embracing myself to sleep every night. I was already there. I had a better view from that tree, despite being at a distance. If only I hadn't been too emotional over a simple matter at that time, like a real child, I might have spotted the danger right before it happened. I was not an ordinary child; I should

  • Ari   Chapter 12: Preparation for Winter

    Our tribe has had a good system for gathering enough food before the winter ever since I suggested to my father that we could plant our own food and domesticate some animals instead of constantly hunting. It took our tribe some years to properly adapt to the process of farming and domesticating animals to sustain our food during the winter.We also started to help all the nearby allied tribes by teaching them the said methods. We often visit their tribes on a scheduled basis to constantly check their progress. Some seemed to find it hard to adjust to the method, but still managed to follow through with my father's guidance.One time, I accompanied my father and our people to the Forest Wolf Tribe to check on the progress of their farming and animal domestication.The Alpha of their tribe was named Acwulf, a bluish-gray Wolf beastman with silver eyes.The body of a Wolf beastman was smaller than that of an average Lion beastman, but their muscles were firm, they were more agile, and the

    Years later, I would soon turn thirteen after the winter. We still constantly collaborate with the other tribes regarding their progress on provisions every autumn, as preparation for winter, to ensure the safety of the people of the allied tribes. It was midwinter, and the heat and egg-laying season were in full swing for the Forest Lion Tribe. Different types of scent could be sensed all over the territory, indicating that most of the mature and youngling members of the tribe were undergoing their estrous and rut, while some had already laid their eggs and were already in the process of incubating them. The Elder Healer and I were busy brewing a tremendous amount of suppressant for the younglings and the unmarried males to prevent any unwanted incidents. I thought to myself that it had been too peaceful at the tribe for many days already. However, there was an intense sense of an eerie feeling that was bothering me for some reason. A female youngling suddenly rushed to the Elder H

  • Ari   Chapter 14: Egg Hatching

    Arvad's mother had gone mad due to the agony and grief, knowing her son could never do such things. Just before spring started, she disappeared, leaving her four male spouses and their eggs without a trace. The four males pleaded with my father to help them find their female spouse, so my father instructed half of the male tribesmen to search for the missing female. It had already been two weeks since they diligently searched for the missing female, but they couldn't find her or any clue as to her location, as if she had vanished into thin air.A few weeks passed, so my father tried to visit all the nearby tribes to inquire about the missing female but still failed to find a clue. They also tried to find Arvad, thinking he would know the location of his mother, but it was already too late when they found him deep in the forest with huge wounds from a beast attack. He had already passed away two days before he was found. They never found the female. The male spouses decided to move out

    The next day, the Elder Healer approached me with a baffled expression on her face, carrying the cute little hatchling in her hand. She asked curiously, "Ari, did you do something to this hatchling last night—his condition became stable right after you visited him while I was brewing the herbs for him?" "Nothing, I just patted his head a little, but I promise I washed my hands before doing so and did not use my gloves, then I left the room to go to sleep early," I nervously answered. "Oh, really?" she gasped, excited upon hearing that my condition didn't get triggered when touching the hatchling, and she asked, "You touched this hatchling with your bare hands, and you didn't get ill afterwards?" "Yes, Grandma Lony, I didn't—I slept well after," I replied. She then asked, "Would you like to try holding him for a while—I want to check if your condition is stable when holding a male hatchling?" I nodded and took the hatchling from her hand. She observed me as I held the sleeping ha

    I tried not to laugh when I saw Macan's annoyed look. On the other hand, Tora and Jala were giggling while giving the babies to Dillon and Dylan. They just finished feeding my babies. They then pushed the two stunned and clueless males near me. "Let Ari see her children. Come on! Stop dazing around," Tora nagged as she pushed Dillon. "Honey," Dillon mumbled while handing over one of my lovely babies. "Hmm? She's—wait, no—it's a boy? Aw!" I choked as I coughed in shock, then crouched a little due to the pain. "What, babe? First time seeing a baby boy?" Macan teased. "Well, technically, yes," I replied embarrassedly. "Oh, right. I forgot," Macan whispered, looking away lightly. "How will we know who's their father? They looked extremely alike," I asked. "The female is my daughter...," Dylan said. "Right, and the male is my son," Dillon added. I was stunned and mumbled, "How did you know?" "My mark disappeared when she came out crying loudly across the room. She was quite energ

  • Ari   Chapter 124: Birth of Twins

    A few months later, my stomach kept growing, and everyone was mortified to see a huge stomach. I was embarrassed because female beastmen don't grow their stomachs too much like mine, so I stayed in the room behind the throne and patiently waited until I could give birth to the twins. The twins were so active inside my stomach that I sometimes couldn't hold back my pee, so I had to wear padding on my undergarments. Also, the weight of my stomach was so heavy that it was too hard to move around, let alone walk. We could see my stomach move from time to time. It was surprising at first that Tora screamed in shock. It looked amusing to me since it meant they were healthy. One day, when the autumn was almost over, I suddenly felt a series of stomach pains. Macan explained that it was because it was almost time for me to give birth. The pain was bearable at first because it was similar to the pain I had when I had my period, but it suddenly started to worsen, and I was finding it hard to

  • Ari   Chapter 123: Portal to Dylan's Palace

    I successfully opened the portal without receiving any penalty. I figured it would be like this because my power has the same attribute as the barrier, making me conclude it was created by my parents since the two of them can control lightning. "Honey! Why are you so reckless?" Dillon roared in nervousness. "Are you alright?" Macan dashed to check on my condition. "Yep! I knew it. The barrier won't retaliate against my power because I can also control lightning," I grinned. "God! Babe! You scared all of us! You should have explained to us first before doing something potentially dangerous," he scolded. "Sorry... It's because you won't allow me even if I explain it, since I wasn't sure of it either. It's better to show it straight in front of everyone. First of all, Mother said I could use it to open a portal everywhere in the mortal land where my people are located. Gurion is one of us, so it's easier to open a portal since he lives in the palace," I explained. "It's still risky,

    After dinner was served in my room, the servants also gave me a box containing a necklace. They said it was from my mom."But do I still need this even if I'm already pregnant?" I asked curiously."Yes, Your Highness. It's not only a suppressant of heat and scent. It can help you use the ring without using your power. The necklace will also bring you back here if you suddenly have a sudden fluctuation of power," the servant explained."I see. It would be quite convenient. Send my gratitude to my mother. I couldn't go to her right now because I'm feeling under the weather, but I'll meet her tomorrow before we all leave," I instructed."Yes, Your Highness," she answered before she left my room.******************************The next morning, we had breakfast with my parents for the last time. We decided to go back after the meal. They were both emotional, but they didn't change their minds despite the heartbreaking goodbye."Are you sure about this?" my mother asked."Yes, Mom," I repli

    All the males came back later than we'd anticipated. They were all extremely intoxicated, except my brother. "Oh my god! What the hell happened to all of you?" I gasped in shock. "Dear... You stink! Don't go near Nita. You'll hurt her nose," Tora scolded my brother as she pushed him away. "Aww! Do I?" he asked, sniffing himself. "Yes, Brother. What kind of hazing did you all go through?" I blurted while laughing at all my unconscious spouses lying on the floor. The servants had a lot of trouble bringing them all back to my room. "Hazing? What is that?" my brother asked. "Never mind. Go take a shower and bring Tora and Nita into your room. It reeks of alcohol in my room. I'll handle these punks," I instructed. "Will you be alright, Ari?" Tora asked worriedly. "Yes. Come on! Make haste. Nita has a sensitive nose; she'd get suffocated with this kind of strong scent," I insisted as I looked at Nita's disgusted reaction. "But Ar—" she mumbled as I pushed them out of my room. "Hur

    The next morning, I decided to ask my parents for a favor. "Mother, Father, I want to tell you something in private," I said after I finished eating breakfast. "I see. Let's wait for everyone to finish their meal. I'll have the servants and guards move out of the room," my mother replied, smiling while holding my hand for reassurance. "Thanks, Mother." I smiled as I lifted her hand and placed it on my face, rubbing my cheek against her palm. After everyone had finished eating, my father gave Nita back to my brother, and I told everyone, "Please go ahead without me. I want to have a conversation with my parents." They all nodded in agreement and did what was told to them. After everyone left the room, my mother started to ask worriedly, "Is there something wrong, my dear?" "Mother, Father, may I live in the mortal land as a regular female beastman?" I asked. Their faces darkened with sadness. "You don't want to be with us?" my mother asked while weeping. "I... I'm sorry, Mothe

    The other Immortals performed their skills to entertain the guests in between meals as part of the celebration. It was fun since Nirvana rarely held a feast, but it was also exhausting because it lasted until dinner time. "Son, I've prepared a room for your family near Arie's room. I've also asked the servants to prepare the bath and new sets of clothing to change. Go ahead and have your wife and daughter take an early rest. I bet they're tired from the whole day of celebration," my father said to my brother. "Thank you, Father," my brother replied while hugging him briefly before following his instruction. "Mother, Father, may we go ahead to my room? I feel quite exhausted and sleepy," I asked. "Sure, my dearest! Take an early rest. The servants have already prepared your baths. But will your spouses be staying in your room? Would you like me to have them bring some extra blankets and pillows?" my mother asked. "Yes, please, Mother. Thank you and goodnight!" I replied in gratitud

  • Ari   Chapter 118: Feast in Nirvana

    The news about my pregnancy made my mood lighter and distracted me for a bit. It was nice seeing the people dearest to me in times of grief. I couldn't utter a single word about what happened during the battle. I couldn't bring up the topic because it hurts my heart to think about the sacrifice of my sister. Luckily, there was other news that could keep them busy for a while. "Wait... Who's this little cutie?" I asked as I crawled near my brother to see closer. Her brown eyes and hair were similar to my brother's. "She's Nita; she hatched a few days ago." Tora grinned. "Aw! I want a mini version of Tora, but she's cute. She looked exactly like Brother Orson when he was small," I mumbled. "Right?! She's so adorable!" Tora beamed as she hugged me tightly. "Don't put your weight on Ahri," Macan warned as he pulled Tora away. "You're so stingy, brother! Hmph!" Tora complained. I chuckled at her cute reaction. Dillon sat beside me, stroking my hair with a relieved expression. "Hone

    I was relieved to meet the Supreme God in my dream. I felt like my chest became lighter, though I'm still grieving. I accepted and faced reality faster with his help. "My dear, welcome back! How was your talk with Father?" my mother asked in a calm and warm tone. "He should have let her rest first before summoning her," my father sighed in a low voice. "You're right, but I believe He's just worried about her. She's His beloved granddaughter after all," she replied with a saddened tone despite her smile. "My dear, are you still tired? Are you hungry? Would you like some water?" Dylan asked with worry. "I'm well rested, and I don't feel hungry as of the moment." I chuckled and smiled miserably with teary eyes. "My dear..." he mumbled in worry. "I'm all right because she'll be alright somewhere. I just need a little more time," I responded with tears in my eyes. My parents also cried and hugged me, trying to console me without uttering a word. We were all equally hurt since we lov
