Fractured

Chapter 39: The Day We Met Part 1

It's interesting how simple things can be the most important ones. The small moments that we take for granted, that we don't think much about that when we are without them for so long bring us the most amount of joy. A peaceful nap, A hot shower, A good old fashioned meal with family, a heart warming story.

"Alright and here we are!" Ulima announced as Agnello and the other Lupi looked at her in confusion as the Teliks moved forward carrying their supplies and vanishing in what looked to simply be more jungle.

"I'm not the only that doesn't see shit right?" Artio asked with a confused and frustrated look on her face after have in trudged through miles of forest carrying supplies. Not to mention due to the time being around 16:00 and them having been up earlier to Lupi this was the equivalent of a human staying up from 01:00 to 04:00 in the morning.

"This better be some Telik trick I'm due another nap." Growl " and a good meal." Atlas complained going to take a swig from her flask only to find it empty. She threw it behind her and took another one out from her massive sack of Lunar liquor.

Ulima's eyes shot open as she realised that they couldn't see what she could see. Her eyes lit up for a moment and the hideout was unveiled as the illusion began to fade before their eyes.

"Sorry about I maintain a constant illusion over the hideout to make sure no one finds us. Welcome to our home!"

This was something the Pack was familiar with since their many village camps were covered in a light barrier that had a similar effect. Although the idea of it coming from a persons mind and being held up on a constant bases was quite amazing. 

The hideout was similar to that of their own villages just on a smaller scale. It was mainly composed of stone huts and some wooden or vine weaved ones with clearly designated areas for specific needs such as, stables for animals, a clear space for training, a large hut for large gatherings and other such things. Everything looked to be hand made or forged with their abilities in some form of way. One building stood out formed from black rock resembling that of cooled lava.

"That must be Lava bitch's place." Atlas said under her breath paired with a growl.

Ulima pointed to a large hit filled with makeshift crates of supplies and food.
"You can put your supplies that you don't want to keep with you over there. Once you've done packing out everything and made yourselves comfortable we'll have dinner ready for you to have soon after." Ulima paused for a moment to think considering Lupi sleeping patterns.
"I guess for you lot this would be very early breakfast. Either way you lot must be hungry."

Ulima gasped for a moment as another thought came to her head. " It's been so long since I spent time with Lupi so please forgive me when I ask this but what you guys eat?"

The pack looked at each other surprised by such a question unsure how to answer. Ayla was however spoke up for the group. " We mostly sustain off absorbing and consuming from our respected attributes of lunar, shadow and blood but we do also eat normal food as secondary source of sustenance. However right now from looking at these lot we'll eat just about anything to tide us until night falls."

"Ah okay great! I can treat you all to some good old Jamaican cuisine and you can bring your "potions" for drinks accompany your din- I mean breakfast." Ulima responded pleased that she would be able to show off her culinary skills. Especially to that of her son that she had not seen in so long.

Kuro with a solemn look on his face stepped up to speak. He gestured to towards the bodies of Lupi that died in the battle earlier strapped to the sides of the last surviving dire wolves of their pack that being Kya, Astra, Maximus and Odin. "We'll need somewhere to keep our fallen until we can bid them a proper farewell tonight."
