Breaking Free
After that day’s meeting, the leaders from both sides took several days to think. Some stayed at home alone, others sat together in discussion. There had never been a problem that plagued them like this.
In the past, the hunt leaders only had to listen to the chief and the shaman, they didn’t have to think. This time, there was an opportunity for them to voice their opinions, yet it was such a difficult matter.
Shao Xuan’s words had affected them greatly. No matter which path they chose, they had to give up a lot. All they could do was to choose the path that was best for the tribe.
That was why, after thinking for five days, the final decision was made to merge with the fire seed.
When the final decision was announced, both sides heaved a side of relief.
To the people from the homeland, although it was tough to accept this, since the decision had already been made, they felt much lighter. The hunt leaders often talked to Duo Kang and the rest how it felt after merging with the fire seed. What was the difference?
“Feeling?” Duo Kang pursed his lips as so many people surrounded him to listen to his answer. “It isn’t any special feeling. It just feels like there’s a fire burning inside my body when I hunt.”
This was different from the previous ceremonies. This time, the fire source on the ground looked like growing tree roots, thickest near the fire pit. It looked like they were standing on lava rivers.
As the fire sources thickened near the fire pit, the distance between the six sources extending from the pit shortened.
The fire sources and the flames within the pit unleashed a brightness no one had seen before.
Crack…
It sounded like something was going to bust out of the ground.
With loud cracks, the fire sources burst out of the ground, as if fire dragons swam up onto the surface.
At this moment, the rocks within the pit were all glowing bright red.
Crack crack crack!
The rocks stacked in the pit sounded like they were falling apart. Red flames burst out of the ground, then blue flames! The blue parts were like the sepals found at the bottom of the flowers, supporting the tall flames. All the flames within the pit leaned towards the centre and rose into the skies. Six fire dragons danced mid-air, now swimming towards the heart of the pit and finally merging into the flames.
The roots of the fire seed had always been buried deep underground, beneath the old haunt’s fire pit. Now, the roots had broken free of the pit!
