It's been a week since the tiger joined us. W/ so many animals I decided to name them. The tiger is Nix. Mama wolf is Warrior. The male wolf is Demon mainly because he has pure pitch black fur but he has dazzling blue eyes. There's a grey female wolf and a brown wolf grey is Ash and the brown one is Forest. The cubs don't have names yet because they haven't went on their first hunt. The wolves, papa bear and Nix still hunt but they do it once a week because I kinda force them to so they don't gey rusty and stuff. Same for the bear cubs. Also Warrior is a white wolf. Papa bear is Umbra.

"Ok guys I'm heading back to town. No hurting or killing each other. Also stay safe and keep intruders out." I say as I leave. They make their sounds saying they understand and I head off. I have a lot of stuff to get rid of. Like 4is weeks or so. And those rabbits just keep getting bigger. I set up and everybody flocks to me.

"Hey where you've been!?" One of the merchants I often trade w/ asks.

"I started to breed deer and it took longer than expected to get things set up." I answer. Half truth. I did start to breed deer but it was actually faster then I thought.

"Really?! Huzzah!" A different merchant says. I laugh. I had out the blades I sharpened first. Then the trades started.

"Holy shit! This is a lot of jerky and is this still all rabbit?!" A man asks.

"Yep. Don't believe me I have the pelts I'm trading." I say.

"Then bring them out!" He says challenging me. I laugh then bring them out. From smallest to largest.

"They grew each time and here's the evidence." I say proudly.

"No wonder you always get feed when you come! Do you need horse feed for the deers too?!" A new man asks.

"No but if you have saplings of fruit trees then I'll grow in some extra jerky." I say.

"On it!" A woman in the back says. Then she races off and come back w/ 5 different saplings.

"Nice each different or same?" I ask.

"3 same and 2 different." She states.

"Name them." I say.

"3 apple. 1 banana. And 1 orange." She states proudly.

"Great pick however much jerky you want." I say. She does so as well. Pretty soon I sold completely out. I packed up and was ready to head out w/ my haul. Then a kid caught my eye. He tried to steal some bread but was caught. He ran off and I followed him.

"Sorry sis I couldn't get anything." The boy says. I look around the corner and see he has a twin sister they both look really hungry.

"Hey kids." I say they jump and try to run. "If you want food follow me." I states then turn around. They followed because I could hear footsteps. They were behind me a bit but not to much. I also kept checking on them over my shoulder. I came into the clearing and the kids did too soon after. But they were met w/ growls and roars. "I brought them here calm down." I state and the animals leave them alone.

"How do you do that?" The girls asks. I laugh.

"Here come get some water." I say as I get them some cups. They come over and drink. "Ok so I helped these animals so they listen to me." I tell them. Their eyes lit up. I got up and fed the rabbits some feed and the deers some dried fruit. We caught a couple more deer and a few bucks. They're getting fat like the rabbits but aren't reproducing as rapidly. So we've been catching a lot of them to just breed.

"There's a lot of animals here." The boy says. I laugh.

"Yep. You know you can stay here w/ me." I say. Their faces light up but then dim.
