In the Ancient Forest
After the evening feast ended everyone who could go ho had gone back. As for those who were wasted, the others left them out on the field with the night sky as their blanket in their sleep. Anyway, they won’t get sick as Beastn had tough physical bodies compared to humans. Moreover, if they get cold, their beast form would partially activate and protect them from the sudden drop of temperature.
At the cave where Mo Minkong and the family lives, all of them had gathered except for Vega who was at the human city at this mont. The three cubs were placed on the bed and tucked them to sleep. Afterwards, the three adults had gathered in the living room with tea to help them digest their dinner.
Mo Minkong observes his mate and his brother-in-law, who seems to be waiting for him to speak.
The leader of the beastn race, Hezi, said, "What was it that you wanted to say? Moreover, the scouts said that they didn’t see you in the forest this afternoon. Where have you gone? Don’t tell you went to the human city again? They already rember your face. You might get attacked on sight if you do go there."
"We didn’t go to the human city?? The children didn’t want to go there anymore. They said they wanted to see cute animals so..."
The Beast God, Mo Minkong intentionally paused his words as he didn’t know how to tell them about the ancient gods.
However, in the end, he still confessed everything that had happened this morning. The two brothers were shocked that their fox eyes almost turned round.
"Teleportation!"
"Ancient Gods?!"
"Wait. You have truly co back from the Core region of the Barren Land?"
"What do you an that the garden of chaos flower will no longer affect the children?"
"Blessing? You are not the only god in this world?!"
"If it is that kind of blessing my brother truly needs them."
"Don’t look at like that. Your daughter had received it, you and your husband would as well," said Mo Minkong.
Hezi and Heri looked so shocked that they were rendered speechless. Once can feel the surprise in their heart upon seeing their faces. Even Hezi lost his temper for a mont and grabbed his husband’s collar, shaking him off like a boneless man.
Urk~
"He’er, don’t shake . I feel like what I ate and drank would be puke by ," complained the beast god, Mo Minkong.
It took a while before the two brothers had cald down and finally got what Mo Minkong wanted to say.
"They wanted to give us the very sa blessing so we wouldn’t be affected by that dangerous energy at the core region of the barren land? But why?" Hezi asked, a bit confused.
On the other hand, Heri seed to realize sothing and turned mute. Mo Minkong noticed this and asked his brother-in-law.
"You’ve seen it didn’t you? The future this world will have," Mo Minkong said to the prophet of the Beastn race, Heri.
Hezi frowned upon hearing this and noticed that his younger brother’s face turned pale upon tackling this subject of future events.
"Heri, is this true? Is it possible for you to tell us what you have seen in the future?" The leader of the beastn race asked.
As the ruler of his own race, Hezi, had the responsibility to his kin. That’s why all information or prophecy from a prophet like Heri is deed the most important by the tribe.
Sigh~
Heri let out a deep breath as if forcing his out of control heartbeat to calm down.
"The future is unclear. However, I had indeed seen the future of this world."
"A future of endless war."
"Death everywhere and blood flows like a river."
"Evil descending in this world."
"The hero that stood against the odds defending all races against the beast race."
"The heaven’s beloved son from the human race stood in front as the last vanguard of the world with his comrades from all other races surrounding him."
"They fought against all odds, trying to kill the traitor that sold his soul to the devil."
This ti even Mo Minkong didn’t expect this kind of future. Moreover, there are no ntions about the beastn race.
"What happened to the Beastn race?" Hezi asked.
As the leader of his race, he wanted to know the ending. For his brother not to ntion his own race ant that sothing must have happened to them. Either they had allied with the human race or had gone instinctively.
Heri trembles when asked what his brother’s ending is. He hesitated to tell his brother about the ending of their race.
"I can bear it. Tell , Heri!" Hezi said.
Heri’s lips trembled a bit and still told his brother the ending of the beastn race.
"Brother-in-law never returned. The devil contaminated your soul after a long grief of losing your beast eggs to humans. You... had gone crazy. You’ve killed all of your kin and everything in your path. The humans and other races worked together to... to kill elder brother," said Heri.
As expected after saying this, Hezi and Mo Minkong’s faces turned extrely uncomfortable.
Damn!
"Calm down, husband," said Hezi to his mate who was about to go crazy in anger.
Mo Minkong took a deep breath trying to calm down and asked, "How about my ending? Have you seen it as well?"
"You... You’ve learned about the death of Brother so... you tried to kill anyone especially those who had done the did. Thanks to your self destruction both sides suffered and the war halted only for a short period of ti," said Heri.
Silence~
The whole area had fallen into silence and the atmosphere in the area felt tense and uncomfortable.
Mo Minkong was the one who had broken the stillness in the area and said to his wife, "Tomorrow, co with . That blessing from the lords you must receive from them. I will tell the elders to watch over the village for a whole day. You must co with no matter what. Do you understand, He’er?"
The Beast God, Mo Minkong had always been mildly tempered and you can say that he never put his superior standing as god before his mate, Hezi, who is the leader of the beastn race. He treats them as equal despite being a divinity. This shows how much he loves Hezi and his family. For this reason alone, the beastn race accept him easily.
But now for the first ti, Mo Minkong has spoken with seriousness and a tone that will not accept no for an answer. Hezi was a bit dazed and never expected his ending to be such. However, he still heard and understood the words of his mate.
Hezi responded, "Alright. I will go with you."
Hah~
"Heri, you co as well. A blessing that is sothing important. We will pick up your husband on the way. Since Jing’er can teleport, going to the human city for a mont should be fine." Hezi said.
Heri nods his head. He didn’t expect to see his brother-in-law to co strong like this. But with how the future has shown that possibility, it is better to be prepared than not.
"Okay. Let’s do as you say. I will go ahead and sleep now. Good night," said Heri.
He had excused himself as he knew that the couple had sothing to talk about in private. This is sothing he can’t get involved in and can only be resolved between his elder brother and his brother-in-law.
Hezi said, "Good night to you as well."
It was only after Heri disappeared to the guest’s room that Mo Minkong made a move and pulled his mate towards his embrace. He couldn’t help but showered him a strong kiss as if showing it this way the fear he felt when he heard what Heri had seen about their future.
Hezi let his mate do as he wanted and accepted everything waiting for his man to calm down. Only when the long kiss had ended that Hezi opened his mouth to speak.
With a soft and gentle voice he asked his mate, "Have you cald down now?"
"Hm~"
Even though there is still a bit of tension within the body of Mo Minkong, at least he wasn’t as unmanageable as before. However, the arms that hug Hezi were so tight as if the beast god wanted to rge with his beloved within his embrace.
Hezi pats his beloved’s back as if soothing his bristled fur. "That is just one of the futures. An old prophecy. It is not the real future. Didn’t Heri say that in that future you never co ho and we lost the cubs."
"Look, it’s different now. Our cubs had hatched without problems and you have co ho to ."
"Maybe the gods you’ve t in this tilines never co in that future Heri had seen. That’s why our ending is like that in that tiline."
Mo Minkong said, "It would never happen. Such a future I will never let it to exist."
