Chapter 326: An old Woman’s Regret
Her mother adviced her against revenge but she would not listen.

Her plan was different tho.

She seduced the culprit responsible for her elder brothers death.

Then the night she slept with him, she slit his throat.

However, fate had no mercy for her as she got pregnant with the child of the murderer of her elder brothers.

Swearing that she would bring no shame to her family, and birth no child of a murderer, she decided to take her own life.

The other three children also had sad stories of their own.

Two of them went to war with the Vandora kingdom, and reports had long come back home, stating their demise.

For the lesson of losing her five children, she ensured to not let the last ever leave her sight, and she spoiled him with a lot of pampering.

However, caging a child was not always a good idea.

They were always filled with the curiosity to explore the outside world.

One time when she went out to the market, the boy had sneaked out to play with some friends.

Their games took them to a forbidden region of the high mountains, and the child was unfortunately one of those that became core beast lunch.

Children in most places, especially this tribe, were considered a blessing.

It was for this reason many said she was cursed, as she lived a very miserable life of pain.

No husband and no children.

Many would have lost hope in life a long time ago and committed suicide.

However, she managed to see things quite differently.

Surprisingly, she continued to suffer through life.

Chiron saw this woman as the perfect target.

After all, misery loves company.

With this in mind, Chiron set out a plan to enter this woman’s life.

After all, he was sure that deep down, this old woman longed for something more.

After being sure if her daily habit, he set out an effective plan.

On this particular day, she woke up as usual, carrying her tools heading for the hunt up in the mountains.

However, she saw several people running back.

“What is going on!?” She stopped one man to ask.

“It’s the mountain beasts. For some reason, they are rampaging. It’s the blue cored mountain Lion. It seems one of it’s eggs is missing.”

On hearing this, she nodded as she too went back to her home.

After all, her life was of greater importance compared to going to the farm or to hunt.

However, the situation in the mountains did not ease out.

And many of those that lived up there abandoned the place as they were already cases of people being attacked and eaten.

Things were very bad.

In fact, it only became worse over time.

At first like others, she survived on the little she saved at home expecting the situation to ease out.

However, after some time, she had next to nothing.

After which, she got a burglar attack.

She was not the only one. A few other houses had also been robbed.

Then again, the thieves were not to be blamed.

With the war effort, times were already hard, and now, even going to the farm or the mountains to hunt was a death sentence.

She still had some good neighbors she could ask for some food.

However, after the next three days, they stopped opening their doors to her, pretending as if they were not home.

She had no choice but to leave, living on just water for the following days.

However, as the saying went, a hungry man was an angry man.

Some of the villagers summoned the courage regardless of the happenings in the mountains to get some food.

They were quite fortunate with their results and this sparked the courage in the others.

After all, the first set had come back with core beast meat that they found dead.

Apparently, the blue cored mountain Lion was acting on its rage and killing other creatures.

These people were fortunate enough to have found some of this precious meat.

Naturally, as many others decided to go and try their hand at fate, this old woman was no exception.

She decided to take the risk far up the mountains.

However, she was too slow, and even though she found some meat, the younger fellas snatches it from her.

It was at this point that she found hidden in a corner under some shrubs, a white egg the size of a regular cooking pot.

This old woman was quite knowledgeable and the moment she saw it, she instantly realized what it was.

This was the egg of the blue mountain Lion.

Surprise filled her heart as contemplating thoughts surged through her mind.

After all, this could end the chaos but it was also food.

And right now, she was very hungry.

Surviving on just water for days had made her very desperate, and she knew that if she managed to leave with this big egg, she would have enough food to fill her belly.

In fact, if she managed it well, it could be enough for about two to three days.

Her hunger naturally influenced her decision and she instantly grabbed it and wrapped it in her bag.

Gently, she made her way back to the village.

However, just when it was no longer far and she could already picture the egg, boiled and dancing in her mouth, something unexpected happened.

~ROAR~

There was a loud roar that shook the very mountains.

Soon, she saw people running, passing her by. These were young sons, some of them were the same people that had snatched meat from her before.

Unfortunately, one of them was too slow and a big animal with long sharp blades for claws appeared.

It was white all round and looked like the size of a small house.

It had a blue core in the center of it’s head.

This was it.

This was the terrifying creature that ruled the mountains.

The moment it appeared, the old woman regretted her decision…
