Horizon before dawn

Rising up in the morning afeter a well deserved rest my body and mind were ready to start a new day.

Albedo was already up eating some fruit and wating for me, i could see she was motivated, afeter eating some myself i picked up my weapons and bag.

"Pick your spear girl, follow."

We took some steps outside and made sure no one was around before starting the grueling training.

I told how to hold the spear and show her some moves so she can grow acustumed with it and them i proced to bet the crap out out her, a bit rutheless maybe but its the best for her, she have goals to achive and she needed to see its was not going to be easy to kill the Carja.

She was sueting and sufering some minor bruises but dident give up the fight and never let the spear drop form her hands i was impressed.

'Good, she have potencial." I thought to myself.

"Ok thats good for today, let's go back and eat something, i need to leave to hunt soon."

"Uff, yeah ok, if you hungry we can stop, let's go."

She was prety banged up but still smiling, training to kill her enemys was truly the best exercise a Nora looking for revenge can have in the morning.

We went inside and she went to cook the leftover meat while i was crafting a needle out of some scrap metal and animal bones.

"Take this, it should work fine, your job today is go out there and gather food and wood, try to catch some fish with the spear if you can, then try to make something of these leathers for you to use."

"You dont any for you? Its your spoils. I can wait."

Looking at the torn out rags full of dirt she was still wearing i told her i was fine, my clothes were better crafted anyway.

Picking up my weapons again i moved out to the watcher site, i was going to test my new spear and skill by killing all that i could on site, there was just three watchers there guarding nothing at all.

'No one around, paths marked, ready to roll out.'

Concentrating on the closest one i drove my shiny new spear into his heart, my skill silent strike is amazing, i just knew were and when to strike and the machine went down just like that, easy, but still made some noise who alerted the other two, i picked a stone and trow it at one direction while going the other one and got ready to kill another watcher, and soon the site was clear, mission sucess, i had done it again, now was just scraping the watchers for my deserved loot.

With my bag full of loot and half a day already gone i decided it was a good time to look for TIM again while still keeping and eye on potential animals to hunt down.

I walk for hours taking my surroundings with me hunting some game but no Krest could be found and soon it was time to go back. When i was almost reaching my cave i saw a trader so i went to him, maybe today was my lucky day and he dident know i was an outcast.

"Hey there, you have fire arrows? And some outfits i can buy? Maybe a new bow?"

I ask him and prayed to the All Mother's he dident know me.

" Sure do, best fire arrows in sacrad lands. How many you want and what you want to trade them for?"

Great, he dident know me, its was my lucky day, finaly i could upgrade my gear and sell my loot.

I took out my spoils and barter for a while with him and afeter some back and forth i manage to get ten fire arrows a new outfit and a new bow, i could give my old one to Albedo now, and the best part he did know were Krest was and point me the location, but that was all he needed to know i was an outcast and started screaming to get the hell out of there and to not speak about this to anyone.

I already had what i wanted so i nooded at him and went home, i could allways trade with Krest now i know were he set up shop.

Entering the cave afeter dark i was greated by Albedo who was both shining and grining at me with four fishes already cooked.

" Look Noir i did it! Four fishes! Hehehe. Come sit, you must be tired"

" Good job, i also got a present for you."

Giving her my old outfit, bow and a quiver full of arrows she was overjoyed and cryed again for a while.

We ate our dinner and start talking about the future training and what i expected of her, my personal goals for the next few days was to get much more food and suplies, i needed to go back to my base and learn to program with the focus and mess a bit with the parts i had gathered and i decided that Albedo was almost ready to learn some things about the real world we live in, She got nothing left, so in the next ten days i was going to kill everything on site and keep training her to be my personal killing machine.

And them i would drop the a true bomb on her.
