Chapter Seven
*AN: Wakfu is NOT MINE. I am happy to announce that I have been reviewed! I appreciate that you took your time to review my fanfic, and I also appreciate the support! Thank you!*
My eyes flutter open to find Adamai looking back at me. "Why are you two out on the knoll?"
I sit up and rub my eyes. "Yugo couldn't sleep, so I stayed with him out here."
Adamai arches an eyebrow. "Really?"
"That's the gist of it, yes."
"Okay. I toasted bread in the haven bag and heated up some bacon for breakfast."
That's when I notice the heavenly smell wafting from the bag. "Yes, please!"
Adamai had already eaten, so I wolfed down my portion of breakfast. "Hey Adamai, any ideas on how we spend time here?"
"Well, because I need to asses your interesting moveset, I was thinking we go back to that landing rock and test your powers."
"Good idea. Do we wait for Yugo?"
"There's no point in him coming, though he can stay if he finds us."
"Okay."
We take the trail back to the field with the lone landing rock. I notice that one of our dragoturkeys have escaped. "How did it escape?" I ask Adamai, who shrugs.
"That's not important right now. Do you remember how to make and use portals?"
"Yeah, let me portal to the other side." I open each side individually and leap through. I land on the rock with my knees.
"You're getting better at landing," Adamai says as he lands next to me. "Alright, now open the other side again."
"Okay. Now what?"
"Move the portal on one hand to the other and hold both portals open."
"Okay." I play sticks with the portals, having two on one hand.
"Now open another portal with your free hand."
It takes all of my external strength to open the third portal, but I manage it. Adamai notices it's sapping my strength to keep this portal open, and tells me to close the portals. I fall to the ground, utterly exhuasted.
I lie on the ground for an hour, gathering enough energy to sit up. "You did better on your first try than Yugo ever did." I nod, and finding enough energy, sit up.
The talk of power popped a question in my head: did that power drain affect my ability to create fire? I open my hand, and a tiny flame mirrored the one in the cell. I stared into it, drawing help from the warmth.
"You can create fire?" Adamai asks, staring at the flame in my palm.
"Yeah."
"Well, that explains the orange powers." I nod.
I hop up with renewed strength and say, "Isn't it lunchtime? Time flies when you work hard!"
Adamai checks the sun. "Yeah, it's noon."
I levitate back to the haven bag and bound inside. I open the fridge, and find... soup. "We are running out of food, Adamai. Do you or Yugo know how to hunt?"
He shrugs. "I do, I doubt Yugo does."
"Well, I do. I can teach Yugo, along with how to shoot a gun and how to use a knife."
Adamai's suitably impressed, which I didn't expect from him. "Can you teach me how to throw a knife?"
"Sure."
Yugo slowly ambles into the kitchen, yawning. "What time is it?"
"Noon," Adamai replies with a hint of annoyance.
"Follow me," I say to Yugo and Adamai and step out of the haven bag. I wander around until I find another clearing. "Let's start here. Adamai, take this knife and try to hit that tree across the clearing," I say and point to a thick tree about 10 feet away.
Adamai faces the tree, takes a deep breath, and throws. He scrapes the tree and it embeds in another tree.
Yugo rubs his eyes and asks, "What is happening?"
"Wake up, you're next," I throw over my shoulder as I fix Adamai's stance. "Try now."
He hit the tree's side and embeds it.
"Yugo, do you know how to hunt?"
"No, why?"
"Take a wild guess."
"Oh, duh," he sighs. "Can I learn how?"
"Do you have a weapon? The knives I have are throwing knives."
He closes his eyes, and a Wakfu-made dagger appears in his hand. "Here," he says and hands it to me.
"It's time to go hunting."
