Chapter 32 - Harder Than I Thought

Inside the healer's hut, Maya's parents came in in a hurry, to see what caused the commotion. By the time they got there, the light is already dying down and the light is completely gone by the time they got in Maya's room.

"What happened! Is Maya ok?" The mother asked.

"It's ok now mother, Maya's going to be fine now," Gale said to apparently her mother.

"Healer what happened?" Her father asked.

"This lass right here is a miracle healer," Grandma Crane said while motioning towards Joana, and the bystanders gasp in surprised that Joana is a miracle healer and they started to murmur.

The mother is starting to tear up and knelt to the unconscious Joana, "Thank you... so much... I don't know how to repay you..."

"Alright show's done, everyone leave my hut in peace and let my patients rest," Grandma Crane exclaimed.

"The Healer's right, leave the rest to her, everyone, return to your chores!" The Datu ordered, "Talon that Strikes Hard, you can stay here with your wife to watch over your daughter," He said to the father, "And Gale, go out hunting now so your parents have something to eat while watching over your sister, also, bring them with you and see if they can hunt on their own" Datu pointed to the group.

Gale nodded as the Datu left the hut, Gale said goodbye to her parents and motioned Alex's group to follow her leaving Joana behind.

-Outside-

While going to the armory to get some bows and arrows Gale asked, "OK, who knows how to use a bow here?"

Elijah raised his hand and this surprised the others and they asked simultaneously "You do?"

Elijah answered, "Yea, my dad likes to hunt in the forest near us so he often teaches me how to use a bow there."

"Ok so that's one down, anyone else?" Gale said as she look at everyone a no one raised a hand.

"Sigh... This is going to be harder than I thought," She whispered to herself and motioned to follow her to the armory.

-Armory

"Here take this," Gale said as she handed them each a bow and a quiver of 20 arrows, "You four practice shooting that from here," She said as she pointed towards some target dummies on another tree.

"You on the other hand will go with me and hunt some food so you guys won't starve to death," She said to Elijah as she prepared to leave.

But before she left, Gale gave some instructions and pointers on how to use a bow and only after about an hour of explaining did Gale and Elijah left who clumsily followed her down the trees.

Charlotte went straight to business as unsurprisingly, she missed her target and overshot who almost hit a patrolling guard.

The guard warned them to be careful next time as they might accidentally hurt or kill their own tribesmen.

And then started the target practice as they unsurprisingly missed all their shot which pissed Kristin and just went for an air punch that definitely hit the target... But also blew everything away with said target.

Might I remind you that these air punches destroyed a 5 feet wide 200 feet tall tree with ease.

This of course alerted the whole tribe thinking they are under attack but in truth it was just an angry girl.

and as soon as the men got there, they saw nothing but an enrage girl and she is quickly subdued and taken away while her friends just watch awkwardly as they take her away.

Finch soon got to the scene and saw the destruction that Kristin made as he was terrified of the power she could release. Finch then got to where Alex's group were situated and asked what's going on.
