The Lord Of The Forest | Nature Deku Au

His Strange Powers | Chapter 7

"Speaking" 'Thinking'

The boar only seemed to be knocked out, it was still breathing and he felt a little bad for having to kill it when it couldn't fight back. However, this was tonight's dinner and he wasn't planning on letting it go anyway.

Izuku found a large rock and walked back over to it. Using it to kill the boar. He watched the little monkeys look over at him and inspect his actions, it was like they were learning, it honestly interested him. Could they learn more from him so that they can hunt like he can?

He grabbed onto the boar's back leg and brought it over to the flat stone he'd used to cook the fish yesterday. He still wasn't entirely sure how he created that strange tree stump, however it would come in handy, he lifted the boar's body onto it, having slight difficulty with the things size.

Izuku looked around for something he could easier cut into it with then his claws. He's not the biggest fan of blood as is and if he had to use his nails to dismantle the dead creature... He huffed as he couldn't find anything. 

First things first, he wants it's pelt, though he's not an expert, he's seen the way his neighbor's pelts looked, he's just hopping that it doesn't turn out too bloody...

He brought his claw to it's upper spine and cut along the bumpy bone, blood lightly seeped out and coated his claws, he nearly puked at the sight of it. He shook off the disgust in order to keep going. He got rid of any muscle or tissue that was attached to the skin and finally it was disconnected. Well let's just say that this large stump is now only good for dismantling...

He rolled the body over and did the same to the other side, finally taking the smaller pelt and using the thread from his finger to wrap it tightly around the other long stick he had for his drying wrack. He buried the stick on either side of the river and ignored the shiver that ran through him as red seeped into the calm river and the fish all seemed to enjoy a happy meal.

Now he was left with the meat and bone. He once again wasn't the type to eat an animal's innards, maybe after some time that will change, but not on his second day here. He looked at where the belly would be and cut into the stomach meat. After a moment, reaching where the boar's organs were and he did his best to clean out everything he could. 

He took his time going through what he thought would be edible and what wasn't. The things he didn't think he could eat, either went to the fish in the pond, which was quickly eaten by the bigger fish inside, or he placed it on yet another flat river stone. 

The edible parts, he placed on a stick similar to the pelt, he wrapped the meat around it and used his web to keep it in place, at first he thought it wouldn't work, but he was happily surprised, he placed the meat a little further down the river and watched it to make sure that nothing got to it. (The fish couldn't get at it either cause he made a small bridge out of smaller rocks to block the path so that only water can pass through.)

Now he was left with the bones, he contemplated on what to do with them. The fox seemed interested in them too so he threw them over. He watched the fox eat the left over meat on the bones, however he took the bones away from it before it started to eat them. He pointed over to the meat and then towards the fire and the fox simply gave him a disinterested look.

Izuku placed the bones back onto the large stump and once again thought about what to do with them. He figured he could probably make a weapon using them, though he's not quite sure how to. He looked at the bones of the pig and noticed that the ribs weren't the biggest. It'd be hard to use them for a knife, but he could probably make something else with them.

He sighed and simply left them for a while, now he wanted to figure out how he created the stump to begin with. He remembered the tugging sensation he felt behind his eyes, he's just not quite sure how to do it again.

He focused on the large stump set in front of him. Ignoring the blood and bone that remained on the wooden chopping table, he noticed the deep roots that seemed to grow underground. No doubt the ground was pushed aside quite a bit in order to create something this big, which meant the ground around him could have issues too. He shook his head and simply ignored that too, he's not looking to destroy the place he's decided to settle down in. 

Maybe looking around for a bit would be a good idea. He still hasn't the slightest clue where he is, but maybe if he looks around he'll get an idea. His father took him to quite a few forest parks, he could just be lost in one of those, though that's highly doubtful since he's already been here for two days.

He looked towards the river and figured they'd been washing for a good amount of time already. He's not quite sure what to do with the meat at the moment though. Its not like he can just leave it there, some other animal would be drawn to the scent of it and he'd end up losing his dinner. He walked over and grabbed the boar's pelt and brought it over to his drying wrack. Now he sat and looked at the meat and figured he might as well have lunch. 

He looked at the fox and pointed towards the meat. The fox looked at him and back at the stick before it's tail lightly shook. He walked over and grabbed the heavy stick and brought it back over towards the large stump. Before placing the meat onto the stump, he placed a flat semi circular stone on the top and placed the meat onto it. He walked over to the fire and threw some left over fish fat onto the rock. It sizzled immediately and scared off the monkeys that sat around. 

After this, he cooked as much of the meat as he could. He could hang it and probably dry it as long as it was cooked, he'd have to keep it in the cave though, he's not too fond of the idea of other animals getting to his catch. The animals all sat around him and watched his every move. Some mimicking him with the fish they'd caught. Of course they didn't put them on sticks like he did. Instead they simply took them to the large stump and began tearing into them...
