THIEVES
2. Illusory Animals

crak, crak, crak," the sound of footsteps above the puddle.

Under the gray sky, without the sunlight that pierced the earth, a small child without clothes, was walking through the forest.

She is Nadi, a child who has not even turned one day old, now walking unsteadily, with the body of a nine-year-old child.

He walked down, hugged himself tightly, the coldness he felt, had already penetrated to the bone. He did not know where to go, and walked without going deeper into the Forest.

.

srak, srak, srak!" The sound of footsteps passing through the grass.

It was obvious that the silhouette of a large-bodied Illusory Beast, with its sharp claws, had managed to leave its footprints on the wet ground.

His sharp fangs, pierced out from his huge jaws. The Illusory Beast was in the form of a mighty great Tiger.

The focused pulse endured the piercing cold, He did not know, that behind him was the Illusory Beast, who was walking towards him, and preparing to tear off his thin skin.

scrak, scrak, scrak, scrak, Khhawwww!!" The tiger ran across the wet ground, and jumped up while opening its mouth wide.

Of course Nadi did not have time to dodge, he could only divert his body a little, while looking at what was behind him.

see!" His left shoulder was hit by the huge claw of the Tiger, and it managed to tear its flesh deeply.

aarghh..!" Shouted Nadi in pain. Then, with blood pouring out, Nadi ran towards the big tree, which was a bit far in front of him.

The tiger did not allow its prey to go away, quickly, He chased after Nadi who was almost at the Great Tree.

scrak scrak....! sraaac!" The tiger jumped up, and swung its claws, but its claws only managed to tear the bark of the huge tree.

brak!" Nadi fell down because he avoided the Tiger's claws.

Of course the Tiger would not allow Nadi to stand, He quickly ran and jumped towards Nadi who was trying to get up.

craak!" The tiger's claw broke the puddle beside Nadi.

Nadi's body was already very tired from losing a lot of blood, He was trying to roll his body towards a tree not far right beside him.

the set! craakk!" The Tiger's claws, managed to tear back the tree bark where Nadi was headed.

Nadi who had lost his strength, was no longer strong to lift his body back, He was still lying on the ground near the tree.

As He was about to give up, He grabbed something using his right hand.

sets!" When it was near, the Tiger jumped towards Nadi.

traac!" along with the leaping Tiger, Nadi managed to cut the root from the tree beside him, and quickly, He pointed the Root right towards the chest of the huge Tiger.

ahhawww!!" The tiger roared in pain, then He retreated from before Nadi, He was in pain with the wound that pierced his chest.

As the Tiger was about to flee, Nadi broke the roots of another tree, then He got up, and quickly ran towards the Tiger.

crak, crak, crak.. set!" Nadi ran as fast as he could, approaching the Tiger that was about to flee.

The tiger knew that Nadi was approaching him, and then he turned his eyes towards the back, intending to attack Nadi first.

sets!" the root of the tree stuck in the Tiger's ear, just as he changed his gaze, to look at Nadi.

And without hesitation, Nadi pushed that root, until it pierced through his brain. The tiger did not remain silent.

He returned Nadi's stab, using his claws.

The claw gripped Nadi's hand tightly, but not to penetrate the skin, because of the large size of the claw, and only circular at the wrist of Nadi.

Of course Nadi did not care about it, he was still focused, and exerted his last energy, to penetrate the Tiger's brain.

The fight lasted for about a few seconds, because the Tiger's brain had been destroyed by Nadi, he increasingly squeezed, and released the claw grip from Nadi's hand.

bruk!" The tiger hit the ground.

hah hah hah!" Nadi gasped for breath after finishing with his fight against the Tiger.

brak!" He also fell. Limp, his body could not be moved due to blood loss.

When He closed his eyes, his stomach rang loudly, indicating that He was very hungry.

Without thinking any longer, while crawling towards the corpse of the Tiger, Nadi drank his blood that was flowing out through his chest.

Fishy and other flavors He did not think, quickly, He pulled out the root that stuck in the tiger's chest, then tore the skin, until it was visible only the red meat is still fresh.

hap!.shit, nyam, nyam...." With greed, Nadi tore the Tiger's meat. But because his body was still tired, he immediately fell asleep while hugging the tiger's corpse.
