Qila was originally a very happy female cub, but his female father fell seriously ill after giving birth and did not recover for a long time.
The plains tribe was not large, and there had never been a priest in the tribe. Qila's male father had to travel a long distance to other tribes to exchange medicine, so he had to spend more time hunting every day.
One cloudy afternoon, his father, who usually brought medicine, did not return home as usual. It was not until the evening that the tribesmen discovered his father's bone knife and a pool of blood.
Qila's female father's health was getting worse and worse. He often blamed himself for the loss of his lover. Soon he was unable to save the situation and had to abandon his young female cub.
The reason why females are precious in the Orc Continent is that they are rare and can reproduce offspring, but they are not friendly to female cubs like Qila who have lost their parents.
Resources are tight in the plains tribes, and no one wants to raise an extra child, but everyone wants to wait for the little female to grow up and seize the opportunity.
It is not a good thing to have all kinds of scrutiny and scrutiny cast upon a child. Qila became more and more afraid of seeing people, and spent most of his time hiding in the tents left by his fathers and struggling to survive.
…
Kira ended his recollection and turned his attention back to the black panther in front of him. Lan was climbing a tree to pick fruit for him. This tree was one they had just discovered and not many people had visited. The two of them often played here.
"Kira! Here!"
Lan wiped a few large red fruits on his animal skin skirt and handed them all to Qila.
After spending several years together, Kira felt the warmth and touch he had not felt for a long time. He still felt restrained when other people approached him, but he was no longer afraid because Lan was always by his side, fulfilling his promise to "protect you".
Kira took it and gave half back to Lan, "You eat too."
Lan pushed it back again, pretending to be nonchalant, "I don't like to eat these." Facing the clear and expectant gaze of the kitten, he said awkwardly, "I'll eat the rest after you finish it."
"good!"
The fair-skinned little female would only reveal such an unguarded and brilliant smile in front of him, and every time it happened, Lan enjoyed it immensely.
Qila is well-looking. He has fair skin, a pair of twinkling cat eyes, a straight nose and plump lips that always make people's teeth itch.
Every day when the tribesmen sat around the campfire to eat dinner, there were always some single males who would peek at him. Lan was very angry every time this happened, and he deliberately turned sideways to block Qila behind him.
Qila was not disgusted by his rare childish behavior, but instead felt more secure.
Lan is a few years older than Qila. He was naughty and playful when he was little, but he became more mature as he grew older. Fortunately, he still likes to stick to Qila like he did when he was little.
The robust young Black Panther Orc quickly inherited his father's title of warrior and became invincible in the hunting team. Since joining the hunting team, Lan's free time has become much less. He will soon be an adult, and he needs to squeeze out time after hunting to find and build his own cave.
Kira really cherished this leisurely time today. Even his eyes unconsciously showed a smile. As if bewitched, Kira blurted out, "Why are you always so nice to me, Lan?"
The young man, who had been calm just a moment ago, was about to lose his composure, but he still replied with forced composure, "We are family."
The kitten, who was happy just now, now drooped its ears, unaware that Lan beside him was trying hard to restrain himself.
Wait a minute, Qila hasn't grown up yet...
On the day Qira came of age, no orc was more excited than Lan. Early in the morning, the young man transformed into a beast and ran towards the cave he had built. He also picked a bunch of wild flowers from the grass and scattered them everywhere. Finally, he spread a layer of animal skin on the stone bed to ensure comfort.
After the cave was cleaned up perfectly, the sun had risen outside. Thinking of how well-behaved Qila was when he was sleeping in, Lan couldn't help but grin and smile, and thought about picking some more red fruits that he liked.
A flash of black lightning ran deep into the woods.
Hearing the sound of Lan running out, Qila opened his sleepy eyes. He was so excited last night that he couldn't sleep. Maybe he had something on his mind and got up very early this morning.
Mei and Ya were both in the cave. Seeing him awake, they gently called him over. According to etiquette, adult orcs were required to give gifts from both their fathers, but Kira's parents were no longer around, so Lan's fathers were willing to adopt him, and he was content and didn't dare ask for more.
A beautiful necklace and a sharp bone knife were placed on the stone table, and Mei gently put the necklace around Qi'ra's neck.
This was a leather necklace made of tough animal skin, with a sparkling transparent gem hanging in the middle. Qila recognized that this was the one that President Mei wore, and the bone knife was also Ya's treasure.
"Uncle Mei, I can't have..."
Mei interrupted him before he could finish his words, "This necklace was given to me by my female father, but I only have Lan as my only male child, so..."
Kira knew that, according to tradition, the necklace should be worn by Lan's partner.
"So it's natural that it should be given to Kira."
Mei blinked, and Kira blushed.
The necklace was not taken off after all.
"I... I'm going to find Lan!" Qila said this, turned around and ran out, covering his face.
Lan had gone somewhere unknown. Qila walked around the tribe. Occasionally, a few familiar orcs would joke with him, "Why aren't you with Lan today?"
Qila pursed his lips and smiled sheepishly, then ran away.
He finally remembered to look for Lan's cave. When he got there, he found that the cave was decorated with wild flowers everywhere. It looked out of place, but it was Lan's style. Qila couldn't help but cover his lips and laugh.
