Chapter 3

I was sleeping alongside my brothers. Kage let me rest my head on his side while Shiro rested his head on my lap. Shiro is such a cuddler, what cute little brothers I have. They have a dear spot in me; I look out for them as they look out for me in this world of carnage. We're all we got, now that she's gone.

Thinking about Her made me touch my mask without thinking. Oh, how I miss her. We all tried to get stronger so we could protect her as she protected us. At first it was hard; we had to start with weak beast such as the Unmoving Maidens and Flying Maidens. We got lucky one day when we found the remains of the Great Beast. I had my brothers' bite off its claws and its larger fangs so I could make weapons. It was the only chance I had at getting stronger than my weak self.

I've always noticed how different I was from my brothers and Her. They had more fur than the patch of fur I had, they had harder skin than me too. I had extra limbs unlike them and they were stronger than me– but not by much. But my differences didn't make any changes in the way they treated me. I once told Her I was cold, she left for a couple of days telling us to stay hidden. She came back later with warm clothes. I asked her where she got them and she said from a dead Great Beast King. Such beast attracted other Great Beast to its remains, so she risked her life to get it so I could be warm. I'll never forget that, it was one of my fondest memories. She did so much for me so I would do anything to protect her.

I had to be careful when shaping my weapons, every strike counted. One mistake and there was no guarantee I could ever get the materials for another try. Using the left over cloth from the makeshift fur I used to cover me for warmth, I used a tiny bit to wrap the Greater Beast claw onto a sturdy stick strengthen and bound with Maiden Beast's blood. I also wrapped some cloth at the dull end of the Greater Beast fang to make a make-shift handle and strengthened it.

The weapons made me so much stronger and improved my skills. I was able to take my brothers on more challenging prey like the Greater Beast so that they could get stronger from devouring them. It was messy at first but with practice we got better. At the time we felt invincible, like nothing could stop us. But that was our biggest mistake and she was taken from us at the cost of it. Now with her gone we fight to keep living like she wanted us to do. So we continue to live for us, and Her.

Coming back from my reminiscing I noticed how quiet the forest has gotten. I've been having a bad feeling all day and it's been putting me on edge. Could this be caused by the human male I told Kage not to eat a couple of days ago? Perhaps I'm just paranoid from spending so much time thinking about the past. But… my instincts have never lead me wrong.

Suddenly there's movement in the bushes ahead of us. I get up in alert, Kage and Shiro follow suit after me. We ready ourselves for whatever was coming our way.

Whatever it was, it was making a lot of strange noises. "Come on Sakuya, you've taken out Vajras and Chi-Yous alike just to be defeated by wild bushes and trees."

"Honestly Lindow, it's not funny," it's a human woman. "You should take this mission more serioul-" She stopped making noises once she spotted us.

"Sakuya, what's wrong?" She was then joined by two other male humans. One made a noise that gave off his vibe of concern; the other had the same vibe but was silent. Then they too looked upon us, that's when I noticed that the tanned one was the blue furred male from before. At the time he had an angry vibe just like he had now, but it hadn't been hostile so I saw him as no threat. But now he and the other humans were on guard and on edge, I didn't know what to make of the situation.

Then the taller male in the darker fur smiled and made a strange noise, "Hi there, nice weather we're having today, perfect day to be outdoors."

"What's that noise he's making Sis? Is he trying to communicate?" asked Shiro.

I raised my eyebrow at him, "How should I know? Just cause I look like them doesn't mean I understand them."

"That doesn't matter now," added Kage. "We need to find out if they're a threat to us or not."

The female began making noises too, "Listen, it's dangerous out here. Come with us so you can be with more of your kind."

"You have been summoned by Fenrir to become a Gods Eater. You're coming with us, like it or not," voiced the tanned male with blue fur in a cold tone.

He put me and my brothers on edge, the tone made us believe the situation could lead to possible violence. Kage started to crouch down into a fight stance and growled.

"I don't like the feeling on this human, he screams malice."

Kage's actions lead the other human female and the tanned male to get into a fighting stance. This caused me and Shiro to get into a fighting stance, the tension in the air was so thick I could slice it with my knife like I would these humans if they didn't back off. The male in dark fur seemed to be trying to break the tension between both groups.

"Guys chill. Soma back off, you're making them feel threatened."

"It doesn't matter; it's not like she can understand what we're saying."

"This is getting out of hand, Kage back down."

"They're not backing down. If we back down now we're practically giving them our lives."

"Kage-"

"No! I'm not chancing our lives, not yours, not Shiro's, not mine!" Kage charged at them.

"Damn, I wanted to avoid this."

"What a drag, don't get in my way."

"Guess we have no choice. Alright, let's go."

For some reason they only went after my brothers. The female seemed more of threat to me than the others. She kept releasing these fast streams of projectiles that were far faster than I could throw my knife. But Shiro and Kage seemed to be dodging just fine; I guess all those fights really did pay off. The humans seemed to be caught off guard by it.

"Impossible, how could these Vajratails have such strategic intelligence?!" The female gasped aloud, making the blue furred male respond back.

"How should I know, don't let your guard down."

We weren't really going to hurt them, just tire them out then make a run for our den so they would lose us. Everything was going well, like a violent dance, until they stepped on our foot. Time went in slow motion for me when the blue furred male landed a heavy blow on Kage, knocking him off his feet.

I should've known Kage would let his emotions get the best of him. Kage was stronger when he put his emotions into the fight, I'll give him that, but it clouded his actions and the other guy was still stronger. We were holding back but they were not, if I didn't get Kage out of here now they would kill him.

"Kage!" Using my spear I push the dark furred male away from me and swung my spear around to force the blue furred male to back away from Kage. Grabbing Kage I moved toward Shiro, "Shiro! Take Kage and head to the den. I'll catch up with you when I deal with these humans." I told him as I placed Kage on his back while keeping an eye on the enemies.

"But what about you, you'll need my help."

"Kage's hurt, and needs to get out of here now. He needs you more than I do. Go! I'll hold them off until you guys get back home! See you in a little bit. Take care of Kage for me, okay."

Shiro began retreating back home. "If you're not back in 10 minutes, I'm coming back for you." He said looking back.

"No need." I said as I watched him run away because it would most likely be the last time I'll ever see those two again. I heard of talk of these people from the herd, they're the devourers of Beast, they call themselves God Eaters. So they came for blood, well they're not getting my brothers. Thank goodness we took a nap outside in the field instead of the den; they'll never find my brothers now. The blue male was going to pay for what he did to Kage. Putting my mask on, I readied myself for battle. They wanted blood, I'll give them blood.
