Jaune woke up quite early in the morning, just before the sun was up. He turned around to see his fire was now just some embers and ashes. He got up and had a little prayer or two. After his simple devotions, he got some of the berries which he saved last night and ate them heartily.
After he ate his breakfast, he began the first step of the day, his hunting weapon. He took a large stone, and another stone which he found called a hammer stone (it's just a round stone made of cobble). He then sat on a fallen log and struck the stone on one side, making that struck side shattered. He then continued hammering until he got the right shape and used some water and sharpened it on a flat rock. Using the blade that he made he cut some groves on a long stick. Using some heated pine resin which he found in the forest, he glued the blade onto the groves and tied it tightly with rope. There, he had completed a stone spear. He now can hunt any animal and defend himself against any predator.
Jaune got up. He gathered his belongings hoping to hunt around the Reincarnation Forest, or, if he failed to hunt anything, tour around the place.
He began his little trek. He first tried to follow a branch of the Reincarnation River downstream to find any plants, fruits, or other vegetation. He continued going downstream until he could feel his belly growl. Only eating those berries for breakfst didn't seem to satisfy his stomach. He decided to go into the river to try his luck. The river was shallow and clear enough for him to walk and hunt for fish. He then went off the land and jumped into the river.
But while he was walking he suddenly had a very bad feeling. It was as if someone or something sinister or evil was trying to hunt him. He held on to his spear. He knew that he had to trust his instincts in this place. Who knows what will really happen if it attacks him.
He carefully searched the water while also being cautious of his surroundings, holding his spear in a slight position, a stance indicating he is prepared for any attack. He continued on with caution and courage.
Then, there was a sudden movement on the river that he caught in a glimsp of a second. A fish was on the side of the lake, trying to go upstream. He walked up quietly and took his aim. He thrust the spear into the water stining the fish on its side. He got the spear out of the water, looking at the prize he had caught.
He examined the fish. It was a trout about four and a half inches long, covered with scales, and had tiny teeth. With the evaluation of scales he was induced that tjis was good to eat. He tied a rope to its tail and tied it around his waist like a belt. He got out of the river and decided to go back to where he started by following the shallow river upstream.
But as he got out the river, a preditor, no bigger than a brown bear jumed up and tried to catch him. Jaune dodged his attack and rolled away from the animal and prepared his weapon.
Jaune evaluated his opponent. The animal was a lion, with no mane, and was at least seven feet long and three feet tall. This might indicate it was a female but jaune wasn't so sure. His knowledge of animals was slight other than the zoologists, who have studied them repeatedly. But nevertheless, he was facing against one of the most strongest creatures, the so-called "king of all animals." Jaune had no choice but to retreat and defend himself.
The weakness of all larger mammals, including horses and lions, are their fear for sharpe edges pointed at them. If they come to close they would be injured and would have to retreat and try to counter attack. Jaune used this tactic to keep some distance between them.
Jaune was talented in many weapons, including the spear. In fact, the spear (I don't care of your opinion) is the easiest weapon to master. It just needs you to hold your spear, bend your knee, and thrust. It was so easy that it was still in use thousands of years after its creation. The modern equivalent of the spear is the bayonet using the same technique in thrusting if attached to a gun.
Jaune masterfully used the spear to draw his opponent away from him. The lion, confronted with this defense, decided on a dangerous move. It jumped at him with ferocious speed. But Jaune was waiting for this opportunity. Seizing the opportunity, he dodged this attack and ran following the river upstream, followed by the lion. He was running as fast as he can as the lion was catching up behind him. Right at that moment, he stepped right in front of a pit wide and deep for animals. He wondered how and why it was here.
Suddenly he had an idea. He jumped over the pit. The lion, seeing him stop and turn around, began to rush directly at him, not noticingthe pit at him. Just as the right moment, Jaune pointed his spear. The lion, seeing the spear, tried to stop, but too late, it fell right into the pit. The lion tried to jump but the pit was to high. Jaune carried a heavy stone nearby and threw it at the lion. The stone struck the head of the lion, killing him instantly.
Jaune fell down in relief. He could have anticipated the attack but he was so focused on his prize that he forgot the feeling of uneasiness. But anyways, the lion was dead. He can now take it back as a reward. He now had to figure a way to bring it back.
Jaune looked at the dead animal. He saw blood dripping down from the animal's head. How was he going to bring him out of the deep pit?
He then thought of an idea. Why not tie the animal with ropeto a tree and use it as a pulley?
He set into action. He got some rope and tied it to a stone. He then threw it over a branch. He then went into the pit and tied the lion. He had to do it quick. There might be more lions that are nearby.
Fortunately, he was able to pull out the lion out of the pit. He dragged the enormous body back home and started a fire. He cooked the trout and ate it as to satisfy his stomach. He now had something good to eat after three days.
But while he was eating he glanced at the lion. He then asked himself, "How on earth is there a pit in the first place?"
He thought of the pit. He remembered it was at least three feet wide and four feet across. But it was at least 6 feet deep. Even more, the pit was manmade. In natural pits you don't see pieces evenly cut, but the pit's wall were smooth, not in which nature can cut in such smooth shapes. Was there any more people in this place? Jaune wasn't sure. He just needed to be prepared.
Speaking of preparation, he got another stone. He hammered another blade. This time he broke a stick and made another groove for a blade. He then glued the blade to the groove. He had created a knife. Using the knife, he cut the lion's skin, starting from the neck up to the its buttocks. He then cut it itno pieces for other pieces. The larger portion can be used to clothe himself, and other smaller portions can be used as pouches or belts. He made a small sheath for his knife. He then small pouches for food, personal items, etc.
He then hammered another stone blade, this time he made a stone axehead. He cut another thicker stick, cut some grooves and used some heated emers to make a hole to attach the axehead. He hade to make sure that the axehead did not stay at the sides of the hole. He then hammered the axehead into the hole carefully. He finished the hatchet and made a small sheath for it.
He also made bows and arrows. Using the axe he made to split a stick in half and used another blade to chisle wood evenly on both sides. Using the rope he had left he tied the string at one end to the other to make it bend. He pulled the sting to check for any perfections. If there were he would take out the string and chisle out the side with imperfections until there were even. He then tied some orpe in the middle for his grip. He even made at least 10 arrows with a sheath. Now he was ready. He judt needed to prepare more in the future for more attacks if there were to be. Jaune knelt down, quietly said his prayers and went to sleep. He will be ready for anything to happen on the morrow.
