Already, there was 40 of this Butcher guard. The addition was 42, as this was important for later.
"Welcome to the Butcher Guard Guild, i supose you two are choosen by Chief." It was a Female Lizardman, soon Crim also enter the Guild.
"You should be more polite, Prae." Prae semi-immediately bow down, but ask by Crim to lift her own head.
Turn out this Guild was the group who protect the flesh carrier, as they shoo off the pterosaurs.
"There was no bird around, perhaps they are humid on their nest."
All of the guards physique isn't that impressive to say, but they surely have strength and speed needed to protect the carrier. Little you know there also a yard behind this guild, it was wide and can fit around ten times amount of civilians here. As this place also needed for a sparring session with each other, the goal was gripping one's arm.
"Younglings, be careful with these folks alright. They can do much worse than the bow, hope you all get along." A group of Guard approach them, they are no taller than Crim himself sure there are some that was taller than Crim but most of them are no taller than him.
"First time around guild?" One of the active Guard said to the younglings, always put a smile on them.
All of them gesture to each other, they state "We are choosen over all the juvenile there was, most of us are males. But some quick females also qualified, though they put more attention to them."
"A, i almost forget. May you two introduce yourself." Crim continue to adjust his bow again, as if he was prepare for something.
"Raskl." Female pale skinned and blue eyed, irregular for a lizardman. Put some sense of beauty, but also something else entirely.
"Mir-Alo" Male darker skinned colour scheme than Raskl, but the green eye is somewhat jarring. As who would thought that Raskl can match Mir with that kind of intensity, after all they have a suprise of how fast Raskl is.
"Guess you two are formidable here, the fact that younglings was choosen over some juvenile is something else."
They continue to look at Crim, as he completed his setting and handle it at the older Guard there. "Chief, what is it you doing?" Crim leave no words but a slight tap into him, proceeds to ran outside.
"What else is this?" As he tried to pull the string, he hard a hard time with it.
Everyone just continue to be amazed at the accomplisment of this older guard, tho it typed older he isn't that old. He's on his mid to late thirty, make sense to call him that. But often that reach 40 was almost always retired, and ended up carrying the flesh.
"He did it!" As the eldest of them pull the bow into extend, then it hit his protective pad on his forearm. It crackle upon impact, but not enough to break it.
Everyone just speechless from what they see, Crim chuckle from outside. "He made it, as i hope."
Out of no one's expectation there was something odd, it creak outside the field. Tall, close to giraffe, stocky, and robust. As you may guess, it isn't doing it's migration like the other did.
It slowly approaching the guild, with the knucklewalking stance.
Crim also seems unaware about this, or did he?
"I have think he cannot make it, times ago was a total failure you know?" The other also tried this bow but they are unable to do it, soon there was a sound of knocking on the roof.
"Allow me." As one of the Guard began to move outside, it was a pterosaur.
3 metre one, instead of running away he immediately put a stance. "Folks, we have guest here!" As they all went outside, the pterosaur tried to peck one.
It's beak quickly captured by the eldest of them, the pterosaur can't go anywhere. It's feet already planted to the ground, grabbed by some of the guard. As the eldest gently loosen his grip, the pterosaur immediately target him for it but grabbed by Raskl.
"This- is easier than it seems, it didn't even have a power to open it's jaw." This was the unique fact about this kind of pterosaur, it was similar to that of crocs.
It can't open it's mouth out of force, but breaking it's own jaw. As the eldest now moves aside, the pterosaur tried to peck Raskl.
Mir immediately grab the beak, out of everyone's suggestion. "As you urge me, happy now?"
The pterosaur here was quite friendly, but it can be quite dangerous sometimes. As this is still a hostile animal, Crim immediately went out with some sauropod flesh on his hand.
"Raphii!" Crim scream as pterosaur's attention were focused on him, it immediately caught the flesh when it was mid air.
Then everyone leave the pterosaur alone, as it began to comfortably sit down besides the ground. It sleeps, put itself around. Just like a sleeping dragon, as if it was a dog or something similar.
As snow began to cover it's body, eveyone began to come back at their shelter.
Thus night has fall, it was freezing cold as if you were on top of a mountain.
He shiver, processing what he witness. "Crim, why don't you sleep? It is winter, you aren't worry about your condition?" Relating to perspective it was pitch dark, normal for them to sleep. But Crim are always like this, he doesn't bothered by the snow as he himself are now barely able to sleep.
"My friend, i am afraid i have seen the fate of thoose around me." His friend can only silent, then walk into his own tent with Crim still on the middle of this camp.
Slowly rise into a small village, but there was something else he think. "I think this camp need it's own ruler, but i am not ready to go."
"Prae, get out of your hiding now."
Prae, 19 years old female lizardman. She follow the path Crim have shown to her, often taking a second command on the journey to this place. As she herself is the first one to ever shoo away the pterosaur other than Crim, but she did it the harsh way.
"Chief, how you know me here?" She currently wear a blanket from sauropod's skin, it isn't as dry as it originally was.
Chief wore nothing but his everyday long pants, his feathers began to grow. As his tail feathers grew longer over the course of weeks, but now the noticable thing was his buds of small feather began to grew.
"I know, and you wish to know how to assist me for butchering the long necked beast." She put on a suprised face, but it all was just the first one.
Crim shrugs snow from his body, now ready to teach. He fix his gaze towards a single tree from afar, as he began to do a loosening.
"You know, this isn't as simple. Better be prepared."
