Chapter 8: Fire Dance

During the night, the orcs prepared a lot of hay and branches, and Madara told me that Bart had learned that in the dry season, a large herd of reindeer would pass through the tribal steppe and roost far away. The orcs are to light a bonfire and pray for tomorrow's hunt, and tomorrow, I too can join the adult orcs in the hunt.

The orcs piled hay branches on the frozen pool, which was built by the orcs for sacrifice. Bart told me that this waterhole is called the Wish Lake, and legend has it that if you make a wish when a meteor passes by, it can be granted.

Lighting a campfire, Madara begins to walk naked into the waterhole, she raises her arms and walks in circles on the ice with a pair of small feet, then dances forward. Where the flames melted the ice, sparkling water flowed. Keep jumping into the water.

The branches of the hay and trees burned, turning into crystal ashes and sinking into the wind and water, and the fireworks were also a transparent luster. Madara was in the middle of the pool, and the water flooded her, and Madara began to dance softly in the flames and flowing water.

The naked body dances between fire and water. It makes her skin like crystal, shining in fire and water. The crystal blue beads crackled softly in the fire. Like a beat. The orcs couldn't help but feel as if they were in a state of excitement, and they tore off the ornaments that covered their bodies, and jumped around the waterhole, learning to walk slowly in circles with their big feet. The fluttering sparks danced and ignited the orcs' hair. The orc's heavy hair burst into flames.

The orcs forgot the pain, felt the wind carry away the ashes of their hair. Bart told me that orcs burn their heavy hair and are more flexible when hunting. It doesn't take long for hairs burned by fire to grow back.

Later, the sorcerer slaughtered several reindeer with his own hands, and the sacrificial orcs had to eat raw meat and drink the blood of the deer to accumulate strength for tomorrow's hunt.

Bart handed me a piece of meat and said, "Eat it." ”

"No, I only drink water. "I took the meat, but rejected Bart's kindness.

The meat is taken from the leg of a reindeer. It was the tastiest part of the reindeer, and I let Madara eat it, Madara had just finished the sacrificial dance and needed to eat to regain his strength.

I saw Madara's eyes turn red. She would squint her eyes when she smiled, and Madara asked me, "Uncle Bart said you don't eat meat, only water?"

"Water gives me strength. I watched Madara imprint my lips on her face and said, "You can give me strength too." ”

In the dry season, the rapid growth of fluorescent plants generates a lot of heat, and many plants begin to spontaneously combust. In the sky, sparkling flames also fell from the colorful islands. Pierce the clouds, fall into the hay, and set the prairie on fire. Nature's most majestic spectacle, with herds of reindeer and zebras roaming through the prairie in a raging fire.

Madara tied a string of beads around me, looked at me and said, "You're going to come back with a full load." ”

"Don't worry!" I said goodbye by putting my lips on Madara's face and turned to ride a winged dog.

Herds of dogs flapped their wings, and orc warriors howled and soared through the sky. I looked at Madara in the sky, and she was smiling at me.

In the thick of smoke, the sound of the huge galloping hooves of the deer kicked dust and ashes in the fire, and the orcs sat on the backs of dogs and threw spears and ropes. I put a rope around the neck of a deer and held it firmly, the dog flapped its wings so hard that the reindeer was lifted in the air, and in the foul air, the deer would quickly suffocate to death. Or raise your spear and stab a deer to death as the dog flapps its wings and sprints quickly.

The hunt was successful and we brought back a large number of prey. As smoke billowed from the fires on the grasslands, Madara ordered the warriors to take a break, as if the wind was stronger, the fire would spread and the tribe would migrate.

Thankfully, it was drizzling during the night. Rain will extinguish prairie fires. On the other side of the sky, the moon was hidden in the dim scene of rain and mist, and the hazy light poured through the rain into the mud. Muddy footprints poured into the soup, and the grass was trampled by one foot and another.

Madara and I held hands, our shoulders and bodies dripping with light.

Madara said to me, "The Queen admires you, and you will be the Queen's bodyguard." ”

(Note: The dry season, in this case, does not refer to the dry season, but refers to the abundance of fluorescent plants that generate a large amount of heat, triggering spontaneous combustion, and the seasonal scene of a fire.) )
