Chapter 63: Unseen Trail
Absorbing Carl's statement, Salvatore remained silent as he contemplated his words. Sorting thru the plethora of information Carl had bombarded him with, he quickly realized that what Carl inferred as noble lineage, pertained to a unique monster bloodline which birthed monsters with a high monster rank.
This could clearly be seen for Carl was certainly the first rabbit type monster he had encountered with a rank of "ULTRA-ELITE" for every other rabbit monster had been common ranked and although he found it hard to believe Carl's claim of martial prowess, in truth, if he compared him to every other rabbit monster he had encountered he had to admit that Carl was leagues above them physically. However personally, he felt that Carl could deal significantly greater damage swearing at his foes instead of wielding his two tiny furry fists.
Glancing at Carl, Salvatore suddenly laughed aloud as he imagined Carl on a battlefield, slaying foes left and right with his powerful swears.
Seeing Salvatore suddenly burst into laughter, Carl raised his head inquisitively, than used both his paws to smooth his ears back as he cocked his head to the side wondering what had elicited his big bro's sudden boisterous bout of laughter.
Seeing Carl smooth his long ears back, Salvatore laughed even harder at Carl's cute appearance, as his imagination went into overdrive, causing all sorts of humorous thoughts to appear in his minds.
Turning away from Carl, Salvatore held his gut from the sheer intensity of his laughter as he slowly calmed himself, returning to his normal calm state before turning back towards Carl.
Still smoothing his ears back in a cute manner, Salvatore wished he had a camera, for he had to admit, a single picture of this scene would instantly capture the hearts of countless beauties.
Grinning merrily, Salvatore effortlessly picked Carl up with a swipe of his hand, raising him to eye level before saying, "let's get you home Carl."
Slightly shocked by suddenly being picked up again, Carl hurriedly suppressed the urge to unleash a torrent of scathing swears strong enough to strip flesh from bones before suddenly realizing Salvatore statement.
Scrunching up his furry forehead curiously, he wiggled his nose in a cute manner, then smoothing his ears back he curiously asked,"But big bro how are we going to do that, I don't know how to get there and you've certainly never been there before either?"
"How long has it been since you left?"
"About two day big bro."
Grinning cunningly he spoke, "Perfect, then we'll simply follow the unseen trail you left all the way back to the Rabbit Kingdom."
"What trail big bro, I don't recall leaving any trail, unseen or otherwise?"
"On the contrary, I am absolutely certain that a very specific part of you does know."
Frustrated by Salvatore's elusive replies Carl exasperatedly shouted, "What part of me knows?!"
Ignoring Carl's sudden outburst, Salvatore smoothly pointed to Carl's nose before teasingly replying with a radiant grin, "Obviously, this part nose."
Still somewhat befuddled by Salvatore's barely passable pun, Carl touched his nose curiously as he contemplated what he had said. After several minutes of mulling over Salvatore's elusive answer, his eyes suddenly shone as a light bulb of comprehension appeared above his head.
"I get it, you mean you'll follow my glorious magnificent heavenly soul enthralling fragrance!"
Somewhat annoyed by Carl's egotistical embellishments, but mainly by his obliviousness to his "nose" pun, Salvatore quickly suppressed the urge to give the tiny rabbit with a narcissistically swollen head a good thrashing, as he dispassionately acknowledged Carl's accurate deduction.
"Yes, that's exactly what we'll do."
Having regained his superior sense of smell, Salvatore could easily detect the distinct lingering scents of numerous monsters within a 100 ft radius around him despite the varied strength of the scents due to the age and distance from him. In fact his sense of smell was now so strong that he could vaguely perceive the different scents, gently hanging in the air as multi-hued faint strands of mist.
Taking a sniff Salvatore easily discerned Carl's unique scent, which remarkably despite his narcissistic boasting actually did in fact smell like fresh sweet carrots of the highest quality and was a vague golden orange color.
Holding Carl gently yet firmly with one hand, Salvatore headed into the woods following Carl's golden carroty scent, walking with a calm even gait.
