                                                    ------------------- THE NEXT WEEK -------------------

I did not had that much progress on my skills since I last hunted, and we've been cycling through who hunts everyday for us, excluding my mom and dad, since they've been just supervising us. Today is my day, and I need to find a creature who is big enough to feed me and my siblings, and my prey for the day? A horse, probably, I mean, they are easy to kill, so it won't help me increase my fighting skills, but it is still meat, so I'm not going to complain.

I've actually had time to understand the scale of the things in this world, and I'm not that big. The medium size of a tree is 5 to 10 meters, and some of them can reach more than 15 meters, and since my father and mother are about 5 times taller than me, the trees around our cave are about 15 meters or more. Considering that I'm right, I should be at least 2 meters tall, and I'm about 6 meters long. I don't have an accurate way to determine my width, but I guess this isn't that important.

[A/N - I don't know how to measure the width of anything]

My father is a little taller than mom, so he should be 12 meters tall and 16 meters long, while my mother is 10 meters tall and 14 meters long, and both of them have the same wingspan of 6 meters. My siblings are just as tall as me - 2 meters - but they're just 4 meters long, which makes me 2 meters longer than them, and their wingspan are about 1 meter.

Anyway, putting math aside for a while, I'm currently on a branch of a tree around that flower field I've discovered a week ago, waiting for a horse to show up, or a cow, or anything remotely big enough. I spent a few minutes jumping from branch to branch, and I saw a movement on the distance. I went towards it with caution to not scare the thing that made the noise, and when I reached close enough, I saw a huge and bulky horse, I waited for it to lower its guard and get distracted, and when he started eating, I condensed a little bit of mana around my hand, and I was almost going to launch it towards the horse, but I stopped myself after I thought about him hearing the air slash.

So, I gently launched the mana towards the horse, and lowered its height, but the horse - not knowing it - breathed the whole mana, I was almost dissipating it, when I remembered that one scene of a show where the villain sucked all the air out of a woman's body, and so I tried to condense the mana from inside the lungs of the horse to expand and 'contaminate' the other air particles inside the lungs, and I felt that it was harder and harder to keep going, so I instantly tried to push the air out of its lungs, and surrounded it on the outside of his nostrils, trying to make him suffocate, but he started balancing his head and running away, and managed to go out of the zone where I had control of the mana - well, managed to go far enough that it was too painful to keep controling it.

Quickly, I jumped out of the tree and started running towards it, luckly, I managed to catch on its speed and jumped on its neck, and while it was debating itself to knock me down, I slashed its throat with a little bit of mana, trying to keep the blood inside of the horses body, but still killing it.

The horse let out painful cries for a while, but it soon died, and so, it was time to drag the corpse to home, but... how am I going to take this with me? I mean, the three-eyed fox was light enough for me to hold it in my mouth, but this horse is half my size in lenght and the same height as me. I covered the horse with mana, and tried to levitate it, but I couldn't walk on air and use this levitation method at the same time, so I guess I'm going to walk towards home this time.

Right when I was stepping one of my feet in the forest, I heard a loud sound coming from behind me, on the other side of the flower field. I quickly turned to see what it was, and there was nothing. It wasn't the wind, neither an wild animal, this noise was... strange. It was the same sound of something taking shelter in a bush.
