Chapter 15: Separation
"Hurry up and get rid of the fire!" The Chief was anxious.
It was twilight by now. The small fire burning appeared particularly dazzling.
"Chief, listen to me first, if we put a bunch of fire inside a deep hole, then it can light surrounding area at night, everyone gets to eat roasted meat. Everyone can even be warm and safe during the cold nights. Hell we can even share stories around the fire. Not just that but you can have hot water to wash yourself. You wouldn't even have to worry about beasts in the night as they'll be too afraid of the fire."
Edward started to rapidly speak in an attempt to get his point across however, he still wasn't used to dealing with prehistoric people other than Night and half the things he was talking about were things prehistoric people didn't know about or didn't cared about.
"Roasted meat your mother's legs! Do you want the fire to come into our cave? We will all burn to death! Stop dreaming you dumbass!" The Chief roared back at him.
Edward sighed and shook his head helplessly. He thought that this old guy was really stubborn. He was just trying to help them. Even then he was doing this much effort was to simply convince Night indirectly.
'It seems like I still have a lot to learn. Facing these dozens of savages…. And making them accept fire is basically like dreaming when they're this much afraid of it'
They already had a pretty good language established for communication that properly expressed their thoughts and idea. It was obvious that they were smart people in their own right however they still were not thinking out of the box. They were too restricted in their thoughts. It was hard to get them used to fire and not everyone was as liberal or open minded as Night. The only conclusion was that they were too old fashioned.
"Chief..."
The old man looked at him with an annoyed look.
At this point, he had nothing to say, but in any case, he had to find a safe place to stay for the night. If he wasn't welcome then where should he go?
Meanwhile, as everything was going on, Night was just sitting by the fire seemingly concentrating on it. It was as if she couldn't keep her eyes off the fire.
Her younger brother walked to her side and stood a few steps behind her sister while the other brother and sister pair looked at them from the other side, completely at a loss not knowing what to do.
Sure enough, Chief and his men along with the remaining tribe made an immediate decision.
"He is a dangerous person, and you can't take him in!" was the general voice of the tribe.
In the end everyone agreed to: drive away this rogue!
Looking at the eyes filled with anger of the Chief and the rest of the tribe, Edward knew he had no choice.
He looked at Night with her head down next to the fire.
Chief and the rest of the tribe soon left, while Edward stood in silence by the Fire.
Edward's heart felt down.
He felt that he was just being selfish. No matter how much he needed Night, she had to go back to the cave. Those people were her tribe, her family. She just couldn't accompany him forever.
'If that is the case then I am completely abandoned!'
Edward looked up towards the dimming sky as the few traces of sunlight were now dying out as he felt an inexplicable fear envelop his whole body.
"Night ... hey, you .... you going back to your tribe now?" Edward asked nervously.
Night did not answer his question. She pouted as the burning fire reflected in her dark pupils which felt even brighter that usual.
Without looking away from the fire, Night asked back to the only group that remained back. Her brother and the pair of siblings.
"Hey, Debro, Roc and Daisy…. What do you three think?"
"I.....I listen to my sister!" Debro replied back.
He seemed to be a bit angry.
"Old....the old guy usually does this .... this is not allowed, then.... that's not allowed, I... I have long been not satisfied with him...."
"Hot water…. Seems interesting. As long as we can have hot water for the winters then it's great. I've used hot water once and it was so good."
A dreamy expression appeared on Daisy's face as he continued
"The water we have here is so cold, it freezes me"
The charming little Daisy replied with a smile as she looked towards Edward.
Edward hadn't really had the chance to look at Daisy with all the ruckus going on but now that he had the chance, he couldn't believe that there was another stunner in this primitive society.
"I am the same, I listen to Night sister!" The young man named Roc also nodded and looked away with his eyes.
