Chapter 123: The Witch and The Land of The Centaurs (3)
For the girl, life was a continuous series of hardships.
Hunger and cold were almost daily occurrences, and whenever they tried to establish a settlement, powerful external forces reduced everything to ashes.
Her father, who was the chief, met his death fighting against the “many-legged servants” who attacked the village.
Her mother died trampled by them while trying to help the girl and her other siblings escape.
If there was any hope left for the despairing girl, it was none other than the existence of her younger brother.
Her younger brother had a strong body like their father and was also brave.
Above all, her younger brother had a strange ability.
When the yellow light emitted from her brother’s body settled on something, even a small stone axe could easily cut down a living tree.
The tribe people rejoiced.
They cheered that if her brother grew up like this, he would become a warrior stronger than their father and could fight against the many-legged servants.
The girl, too, endured difficult days dreaming of that sight.
But fate remained cruel to the girl without change.
