Capítulo 26: Chapter 26
It was interesting watching the men work. He knew that of stump pulling for trees from his previous life. Though that had mainly changed to trucks or tractors. One man was a build of lean muscle, not the body builder type, but not the kind that would be blown away in a stiff wind either.
His coworker was a the kind of man that you would believe was able to imitate a horse pulling something. His arms were a size thicker then the other's man. He seemed to be the one in charge of their group, hanging back while the smaller man wraps the chain around each.
Now, he didn't feel like muscles, or stick, as he took to calling them in his head, were actually the one in charge of what ever really happened. They had a bit of a language barrier to him.
When he steps onto the road, the pair doesn't even seem to notice him, or they were acting like they didn't see him with the best skills. It was not hard to find another group, this one, they were clearing the ones that were marked, there were three men standing behind another, he could tell what the fourth was doing, a ball of flame was hanging above the stump, looking like it was ready to press right into it.
While he couldn't see all of what was happening, he could tell that the top of the stump was completely charred, not the fire hardened type of sticks or completely ash. He could see them men behind were standing in a ready spot, as if they weren't sure if something was going to happen.
It was an interesting action, like they treated the first guy like a piece of dynamite, two were making sure that he didn't get to far off target, or starting a fire, and the last one seemed more enthralled by the flames, like he was a pyromaniac. Of course, that could be, he could just be another one that acts at the same time.
This group was moving carefully, fully focused on their job, unlike the group before, they wanted to make sure that nothing went wrong between them, at least, the ones that were keeping the flames out. Water spouts on a tiny flame that had gotten away, making sure that it wasn't quick to spread.
He shakes his head, taking his time to inform Syren about this, letting her know that they seemed to be moving in. "I'm going to the end to try and see what might be happening." He tells her.
Syren was only a little worried, "Stay safe, and be quick, Azure and Lapis are getting bored, and I don't want to see what they are going to do when their bored." She says with a little mischief, almost as if she planned to convince the cubs to do something to him instead.
He shakes his head, "I'll try." He says walking past the stump burners. He goes forward, finding their is a few groups of stump burners. None of them seeming to have a discussion, they all seemed to be working hard. Nobody seems to pay any sort of attention towards him as he walks down the path. The fact that he is moving down the middle of men, who obviously could kill, completely oblivious to his presence.
Moving close enough to examine a few, he sees they are all wearing some thin pants, something that feels easily disposed of in case it starts on fire, no shirts, sweat dripping down their bodies from the heat of the flames that would burrow deep into the ground, he was happy to find, he didn't feel any heat from those flames. Though, he was starting to feel a coldness on his tail, making him turn, start trying to chase the appendage that was almost always swaying behind his back.
He doesn't pay any attention towards it, taking his time forward, slowly approaching what looks like just a bunch of tents that were set up in their own special little areas. Some set up shop, with others having set up areas specifically for their areas. It reminded him of high school, separate groups all centering around one similar thing, the only group that seemed to have taken the time to spread out, was a group of merchants.
Most of them were wearing a standard of robes, like a specific color or a specific design, one group had a plant motif, while their robes were a mishmash, with some reds, browns, and greens. Some had solid colors, nothing to really make their robes stand out.
No one looked like they had any troubles with each other, at least not yet, the fact that so many different groups could work together, made him curious. He tries to listen, but any times he wanders near a conversation, he found himself lost, you know a native of one language listening towards another. He could, however, tell that the language was speaking very slowly.
"Do you know anything about this world's languages?" He asks his mother. Curious as to what she actually did know about the human's here. There might have been something passed down.
His mother disagrees, "Nothing, if I could help, I would, I will help you learn how to read them when you get back." He feels his tail getting colder, like ice was wrapped around it. "Don't take long, I think they are bored now."
He nods a little and slides himself back, pulling back to the dome of darkness. He finds his ass was also cold, not just his tail, making him spin fast. His tail had an ice cube wrapped around it, like one of those cartoons.
He hadn't practiced but was able to quickly form some water, and starting to toss water bombs at them. Not enough to hurt, but enough that it would soak. It turned into a little water war between the three, with Nadia and Syren getting caught in the crossfire or being hidden behind as a barricades towards the attacks.
The vixens were able to make water spout out, flow around and hit him from weird angles, though when they are close enough, he took to tackling them to have an advantage.
It was an hour of fun, without any thoughts as to what they should be doing later. Leaving the decisions for after they had recovered and relaxed a bit.
