"Tell me about yourselves" I said, throwing wood into the fire, while it crackled and flickered. Then turning to the moon once again.
They all looked at each other, nodding there head. The man spoke first, looking at my back.
"I am, pascal, I want to thank you for taking us in" he said, holding the other girls hand, while I let out a chuckle.
"I am Trina, like he said thank you" the girl holding his hand said.
Looking at the girl who twisted her fingers, looking at the the other two.
"What about your name, little rose" I said to her, watching her be shocked I smiled for a second.
"Uhhh, I'm gisele, I wanted to know if you could show me to cut the meat like you did, maybe hunt" she says tilting her head.

"In time and for the one standing by the tree, come warm up, if you wanted to join" I said, seeing a shy girl come from behind the tree.
Walking slowly to us and standing at my back.
"I I I , would like to join your camp!" She screamed.
"Calm down, you scared me a little but you can join it is up to you" I said, looking back at her smiling face, while the others chuckle.
"Thank you!, I'm fox!" She said, sitting next to gisele.
"Nice, get some rest, there's a lot to do tomorrow" I said moving towards the water.
"You never, told us, your name" Trina, fox and gisele asked.
"It's been a while since anyone has asked, you can call me gunner" I said, turning my head to smile walking away.
"Fuck his smile uhhh" gisele said, biting her lip.
"He is handsome" fox said, in her shy voice.
"I can't lie he is sexy, uhhh what?!" Trina said, looking at pascal.
"Really babe? I'm right here" pascal said shaking his head.
"I can hear you" I said, leaning back on the sand, interlocking my fingers and looking at the stars.
The girls giggle as they find a place to sleep, pascal mad, decides to sleep on his own. It didn't bother Trina, she just wanted someone to protect her now she did.
Morning came as the fire smoked high up in the sky, a thin rock was on the coals of the once fire, as rabbit meat cooked and my followers slowly wake up and gisele who was already up yelled.
"Get up!" Gisele said, shaking fox and kicking pascal.
"Mmm, something smells great" fox sleepily said, pulling her body up.
"I'm up, I'm up, someone cooking?" Pascal said, turning over.
"I don't care, it smells amazing" Trina said, moving to the food.
"Hold on, did he do this?" Fox said, getting a piece of meat.
"Speaking of him, where is he?" Trina said, following and getting a piece.
"Mmm, fuck" gisele said, looking out to the water.
"What is it?" Fox and the rest said.
"There, stop distracting me" gisele said, pointing to the water.
The girls and pascal look, seeing me walk out of the water my hair wet the water dripping of my chest and abs. Seeing the marks on my arms they never saw before, my eyes illuminated by the morning sun the strange cybernetic marks on my shoulders. The blood that was mixed with the water on my chest.
"Gunner are you ok?!" Gisele and the girls said, seeing the blood.
"What the hell is that?!" Pascal said, watching me make it too the shore.
"It's not my blood" I said, dragging the mutated crocodile snake on to the shore.
"You killed that thing?" Gisele said.
"No I talked It out with the beast" I said smirking as Trina and the rest laughed.
"Asshole" gisele said, laughing slightly.
"You say that but haven't stopped looking at my body" I say leaning down to her.
"Could she help it your body is *coughing" Trina was going to say looking at pascal.
"What are these?" Fox said, touching the tattoos.
"That's for another time, for now it's time to build a home" I said, looking at them with a smile.
I say grabbing my shirt and putting it on, to the girls disappointing, i walked over to a tree pointing down at the prehistoric axes I fashioned. Telling pascal to help me cut down trees, laughing, talking, throwing the girl in the water. Swinging the axe controlling my strength bringing the trees down with a few swings, getting told I wasn't human which I smiled at. Cutting down trees, half the day I cutting dozen of trees, getting fiber and vines weaving them and using it to make a rope. Making a few large rafts, dragging large trees to the water tying them at the back and throwing them spears. Along with some make shift ors.
"I only killed the alpha, not all of them, do not stop and do not struggle if you fall in hold your ground" I said.
"There's more of those things?!" Fox said looking at the body of the snake crocodile that had a glow.
"Why would be go out into that?" Pascal said.
"You just have to trust me or go back" I said, getting on the raft.
"I will go" gisele said, walking on to the raft.
"I I I , I with will go, I won't turn back" the shy fox said, earning a head pat from me.
"That's not cool" gisele said, then getting patted shutting up.
"Man up pascal let's go" Trina said, jumping to the raft.
"Tch, whatever I'm coming" pascal said walking on to the raft.
Soon we drifted as the water split and we made our way, but not all things go as planned or do they. The bottom of the boat was hit as a creature passed under it, knocking Trina pascal off, pascal struggled as Trina was calm looking at me, thinking I had a way. The creature swam fast to him as he saw the water slip and the mouth open, pushing Trina out of the way toward the creature as she finally screamed, he swam to the boat as gisele and fox Called him a coward. The creature of a spear in the head as I pushed pascals head away from the boat, getting yelled out by him, diving I rush at Trina grabbing her bringing her back. Watching pascal get up as they yell at each other while they as yelling a spear comes through the back of his neck.
"Holy shit gunner!" Fox said, the shy gone.
"Fuck that's brutal" gisele says, not really Caring.
"Why would you?" Trina said, looking at his body drop to the ground and pushing it into the water.
"He would let you die to save himself, if you are hurt ok I will bring you back once we hit land. If he could do it for this, especially with you he would do it again with anyone" I said turning around.
"No, thank you for saving me" Trina said as fox comforted her, they both sat at the back.
"We understand gunner, just a warning next time" gisele said, moving next to me.
"Should I say, hey I'm about to kill this guy watch out" I said, laughing a little.
I talked to them explaining that humans will always be the most dangerous and crafty creatures you ever meet, making it to the tree it was massive as the bottoms of the tree was far above, I didn't say anything as I started to dig a foundation moving back and forth, mapping a large house that had more room, cutting the trees in half as we went all day and all night at It, I moved to the forest at night hunting and feeding them. I worked far into the night, they slept. I moved at more speed while they slept far stronger and faster then a human. Going the woods knocking trees down moving with the raft, sharpening the tree trunks and slamming them into the water down deep in lines on either side. From the island to the other shore until the sun came up. Waking up seeing the long stretch of trunks and he water being draining from the middle by a let out. Looking in amazing at the high wall on either side now the lake was parted and we could walk through. Seeing me dragging more trunks down it looking at them with a smile days passed. they made a place we could call home a large home like a rough traditional Japanese hut that sat right at the center under the large tree, finally coming up to them and the village grew.
"Gunner you really aren't human" gisele said punching my shoulder.
"I can't believe we did all this" Trina said.
"I am sorry I wasn't much help" fox said, shyly.
"Do not worry your cooking made up for it, listen i wanted to speak about your positions more people will come from what we were told the other day there is no doubt" I said to the girls, hearing people outside. The village grew.
(A.N will be explained next chapter flash back)
"I thought you were the leader that's all we needed" gisele said, smiling.
"I thought so too" Trina said.
"Listen I trust you the most as of now so I want you to have responsibilities, you will lead others" I said looking at them.
"What do you have in mind" Trina and gisele said.
"From now on, I will be your shogun and you will be my Daimyo, to show this take these" I said taking out 3 black curvy handles that had a shine.
"What is this gunner?" The girls said, looking the shine.
"Something to show how much you mean too me and a mark of your standing as my Arbiters(daimyo)" I said, placing it in the center of my hand as I squeezed.
*crackling
There eyes went wide as they watched a bluish light came and curved at both sides meeting in the middle but never touching. Hearing the humming that came off as I turned in off and handed them each one as I held my larger one telling them I be careful as 3 blue and one red light shined in the hut, as they were all smiles.
