Skinning the bison wasn't easy, but Arad managed to do it thanks to his size, strength, and skill. By now, the maid who taught him how to skin games should've died already of old age in Yog's world, but her teachings were engraved into his hands, showing him the basics and allowing him to skin even the largest and weirdest of monsters.
Her teachings had helped him a lot, and he could only hope that she had lived a long, happy, and fulfilling life.
Thanks to her teachings, they now have a fresh, large hide to sleep on and even a bit of meat for dinner. But sadly, killing and skinning the bison had cost them precious time, and now they had to hurry and cross the frozen bay and reach the forest long before sunset.
They did need to find or make a shelter after all. So after wrapping the hide into a massive roll and stacking it up on the sledge behind Haru with the meat on top, they were about to start moving.
