Xaal should get a horned rabbit as a pet.

I sound like a broken record, but only 2 months left till I'm done teaching. Not sure what's next, but it feels like anything would pay more and be less stressful lol

Teacher update: I feel like a villain from a cartoon. The laughter of teenagers gives me migraines, and I no longer feel guilt when giving bad grades to kids that sleep through my lessons.

Kishi observed the exchange between the two goblins silently, eying up the corpse of the rabbit with an analytical glare. The fur could be used for gloves or clothes, while also capable of turning to leather for armor and containers... The teeth may prove as a basic alarm system if enough were gathered... His thoughts were interrupted by Sister Isurtas questioning.
"...hey hey, Brother Kish! Think you could make a better spear out of this? How'd you make these anyways?"
Kishi began to shift uncomfortably. These guys would never believe that a voice in his head gave him all these ideas... Probably. Kishi reached for the horn and examined it carefully. It was very large in his hands, and seemed to weigh almost nothing. Without even feeling it, Kishi knew it could easily eviscerate any of them if it hit the right place. Kishi responded with a half-truth.
"With something like this, I could definitely make it sharper... The problem is durability. The horn may last a while, but I use cloth to keep it on the shaft. Knots don't really last long if you are jamming them with all your strength into some animal. If I had a better adhesive, they'd be perfect..."
"I guess I just have a knack for this kind of stuff. I tied some sharp stones I found onto some sticks using those extra loincloths Grandpa leaves all over the place. It's... hard to explain without showing it."
Kishi stared into the dark forest, a light chill crawling down his spine. He kneeled down and retied the head to his spear as he conversed with the group.
"Alright, so we look for more right? I hope we don't have to go too far from the cave...
Kishi stood up giving them the same stare he gave the rabbit. Sister Isurta was lightning quick, and was able to strike down the rabbit as it charged her. Brother Xaal, meanwhile, was much nicer than he appeared, and was by no means weak.
Kishi stood up and lightly tapped the butt of his spear on the ground a few times.
"Where do you guys want to go next?"
Kishi slung Isurta's rabbit corpse over his shoulder and watched his surroundings. The rabbit was killed in a less than humane way, and blood painted the grass red. Other animals probably smell the blood... Hopefully the rabbits aren't scared... And the wolves aren't hungry...
The hunger has died down temporarily.

Samuel smiled in gratitude towards Okami. Since he no longer needed to sell his supplies, he could instead save them for the tower. Surely a camp would come in handy in a hostile area like that. The action meant a lot, especially after all the drama that occurred mere moments ago. As they walked toward the exit portal, Samuel saw the large man who had made him feel uneasy leave before them.
"Thank you very much for your consideration, Okami. In case you were wondering, my friend here is Alex. I offered to introduce him to the rest of our team. Considering half of them left... Well, no matter. Oh right, I haven't asked yet! How did your trial go? I didn't do so well but Alex was more than competent enough to compensate. But, now that I think about it... How did the officials watch us? Is that another ability the spirits possess?"
Turning to Alex, Samuel responded to this unfortunate prediction.
"Destiny is a funny thing. You never know how things will turn out. While it is clear he is our enemy now, I like to believe that their is just as much of a chance that we befriend him as their is a chance that we fight him. However, while self-confidence is good, their is a reason pride is a sin. I pray that boy considers his options carefully...
Samuel finished talking, but his mind began to race with questions. What even was the tower? Religion said that it was created long ago by mythical beings, but for what purpose? Surely not just to house the spirits - their was more than enough room for them, so their was no need to stuff them in such a small area.
The trio had just exited the portal, and it seemed like many of the shops and stalls were still around for business. A spirit that was fondling a bag of gold was calling out to no one in particular, seemingly unaware of how loud he was being. The town square was buzzing with activity and many people, from young smiling children to drunken old men, were engaging in the activities. Samuel gazed in wonder at all of them, pondering how so many people could be in one location.
Gabriel chose this moment to awaken, chirping for no particular reason. The birds awakening caused Samuel to look towards the sky, making him realize how low the sun was. Did I really go an entire day without any food? Hopefully, Okami's generosity extended to free meals... Or his family accepted payment in the form of tents and wooden tent anchors...
*YAWN*
Oh, I just had the most wonderful dream. Maidens as far as the eye could see...
Wait... where am I?
Oh, the area with many maidens and loud noises! I was hoping Master would have stayed here longer. I hope Master decides that we have had a long day, and deserve wine and women to wind down! ...Probably not, but it cant hurt to hope!
I wonder where my harem has gone? The winged vixen could not be far. After all, I did promise to teach her how to fly!
...
Maybe it was a good thing that she was not here... Wait, where is master even taking me?

Kishi slowly prepared himself for the battle, analyzing the situation with the best his three day old brain had to offer. Three goblins, two males and one female, were attempting to hunt a rabbit, which seemed to be smaller and faster than all of them. The rabbit, due to it's small size, probably had little meat to share, but also had a horn that could prove useful for equipment and defenses. The other two probably have their eyes on the horn, so Kishi decided that settling for meat was not to bad. After all, the horn wouldn't help the hunger he felt. The plan was for Kishi and Brother Xaal to chase the rabbit towards Sister Isurta, who could make use of her faster speed and reflexes. None of the goblins were experienced with their weaponry, and Kishi was all too aware of how awkward the spear felt in his hands.
Kishi slowly exhaled, trying to calm the rigorous beating in his chest. Calm down... Their are three of us... we can't lose... Despite these thoughts, Kishi grew even more anxious, not only for himself, but also for the two other goblins that were helping him. Brother Xaal doesn't need another scar, and Sister Isurta lacked the size that the males had. She would probably be skewered like a...
Kebab, his mind filled in.
As Kishi's mind lingered on the internal analysis he was conducting, the sound of leaves rustling and movement in his peripheral vision alerted him to the rabbit's actions. The creature hopped forwards and Kishi nearly moved to run attack the beast, until he realized that it was eating berries off of a completely different bush. Glad to know those are edible! Kishi kept this fact in mind for later hunts and excursions. The rabbit was closer now, showing the light fur that covered the creature, which makes Kishi think of how it would make a fine pair of gloves of shoes... The ears twitched lightly, and the creature pawed at them lightly. The rabbit was mere feet away, and Brother Xaal quickly leaned in towards the rest of the group.
"Isurta, stay hidden, but be fast. We will go around and lead it towards you, and you be ready to strike. It won't expect you here. Kishi, make sure it runs towards Isurta's bush. No...fear."
Brother Xaal's voice seem to break, probably due to the stress or his low tone of voice. He nod's to Kishi, silently telling him to follow. Kishi moves at a snails pace, doing his best to avoid anything that would crunch underneath his feet. Kishi managed to avoid all the sticks and leaves, mainly because he followed Brother Xaal's example. Positioning himself to the another side of the clearing, about halfway from the original bush, Kishi made sure he was a fair distance away from Brother Xaal, in order to coral the rabbit back towards Sister Isurta's bush in case it ran. Kishi notices Brother Xaal tense up slightly, before leaping forwards towards the rabbit. The movement and sound would almost surely cause the rabbit to run away, if Brother Xaal did not kill it immediately.
Kishi sat still, tensing every muscle in his body and gripping the handle of his makeshift spear so hard that his hands turned pale. The second the rabbit tried to run towards him, he was prepared to leap out and attack. Even if he missed, this would most likely prove itself as an excellent way to shepard the rabbit towards Sister Isurta. He silently prayed that this would work... If it did, the tactic could be used on more of them. Then everyone could have a horn! Hopefully, his skill with a spear isn't bad enough to threaten the hunt.
