Bayuna yelled on top of her voice dropping the green spear on a girl beside her like it was trash.
Rushing towards him, bayu crouched down, smiling, receiving her into his arms, bayuna held on tight.
"You're alive!" she screamed excitedly.
"And what is this?" "Your wounds are gone!" "You're hair seems Greener too!
You've been gone for so long, I thought you might never return!
Bayuna bawled.
"It's alright now, I'm back." He then raised her up, tilting her to his back, he felt a tap on his shoulder, and then a hug, it was his uncle Maxon.
"Bayu, I knew you would make it," Maxon spoke pulling away, while patting his shoulder with a smile, he also got a warm hug from maxon's wife reesha.
That night, the candle lights burned fiercely in both the two sections of the hut, it'd been hanged down from the ceiling's middle to avoid the hut from burning.
It helped in keeping them warm in the cold nights, since it was rainy, they had three of the ceiling candles hanged in both rooms.
His hand was placed on bayuna's cheek, he'd been telling her various stories. She seemed quite interested and hadn't slept even three hours even after midnight, that was how much she had missed him, bayu took a peek at the little girl, she was now deep in sleep. He smiled, adjusting on the bed and staring up at the sparkling fire of the candle lights.
Maxon had updated him about all that had happened since he passed out.
He'd been asleep for two whole months, luckily his team hadn't been sent to the arena for execution.
This was great news to him, he was still in the team but his fate was going to be decided earlier on. Bayu knew it was going to be rough as whoever skipped killing monsters for that long was going to face all the consequences at once, even if they died and somehow got reborn, they won't be exempted.
He turned on the bed facing his green spear which stood in one corner of the room.
That wasn't his only problem, the tides have began rising, the raining seasons were coming, the monsters were going to become fierce and try to breach the wall, seeking shelter from the other side of the island, soon enough they were all gonna be forced to break through their ranks. Whether it pleased them or not, if you don't, you die, only children were exempted, there was nothing they could really do about it, after all, it was the safest way to survive on the island.
He sighed taking a look at the green spear and recalling what the system had said about completing the spear formation.
Something clicked, he pulled the blanket off his body, stretching his hand towards it, he heard a whirring sound come out of the spear, it fidgeted.
"System?" He muttered as he tried to stand up on his feet, the tip of the green spear suddenly glowed in response, bayu stared at it in shock and admiration, he walked closer, observing the gleaming part and holding on to it.
"So what you mean by completing the spear formation is making all the parts of it glow?
And to that it'll involve some sort of task right?
Am I correct system?"
{Affirmative, acolyte is one hundred percent correct. The task is to kill a number of archaic beasts.}
{Perception points +1 added}
{Acolyte may proceed to getting prepared for the universal call.}
Alright, bayu said clenching his fist, he is finally going to be like his mother, having the sort of strength that even the most powerful monsters feared.
Bayu smirked, he was just getting started. But for now he should rest, his wounds haven't totally closed yet.
The next morning, the waves crashed continuously on the sea shores, various women gathered with baskets gathering fishes from boats while the fisher men fished a bit far from the reefs.
Bayu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on figure with green hair beaming down at him.
"Bayuna!"
"Don't wake your cousin up." Reesha called from behind, bayuna had no plan on listening to her mother as she continuously gazed at the figure impatiently.
Bayu was half awake, he had a weird feeling wasn't really sure, if he had suddenly loved to sleep or if he hated it, his eyes opened, immediately meeting the gaze of bayuna.
"Yes!" "you're back!" She yelled, tossing the rock she was about to hit on his head to a corner in the room, "mother, bayu's awake again!"
"Bayu?!"
"Do you still eat breakfast?"
"What y-yes I think," bayu stuttered, robbing his eyes, unsure of what was going on around him. "Okay bayu, I'll go get it now!"
Bayu could only smile at the hyper activeness of his cousin she was like this most times and even happier because he was finally here again.
This is what kept most of the people on the island motivated, the fact that there are loved ones to return to, a few minutes later bayu had slept back. Reesha had to stop bayuna from throwing a rock at his head.
After breakfast, Reesha decided to take a look at bayu's wounds, he placed his head in both of her laps as she took a look at the parts of his body that was injured.
He yawned shifting his face, he couldn't see bayuna clearly but was certain she pouted while seating a bit close to them.
"Bayuna what's wrong?" bayu asked inquisitively, "put your head on my leg instead," she pouted. "It's not too small you know." Bayuna spoke pointing at both of her laps, hands gesturing for bayu to come rest his head.
"Bayuna?" Bayu rolled his eyes, "it's too small."
