Bab 172: Fallen and Found

Tis'a thought there was no need to leave anything for the humans who had attacked them, but his Second Brother was far too honorable for that.

The night they were caught was just like any other when Tis'a and his brothers had "borrowed" food to survive.

Late at night, a noise woke Tis'a from his sleep, and he found them surrounded by torches.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't have happened. But after days without proper food or rest, their senses had dulled, leaving them vulnerable.

As they readied their weapons and prepared to fight their way out at any cost, a plump, smiling human emerged from the ring of torches.

Although Tis'a couldn't understand the human's words, the man held out bread and what looked like dried meat.

The human raised both of his hands high and smiling warmly, showing he meant no harm to them. Slowly, he approached, placing the bread and meat in front of Tis'a before stepping back cautiously.
