Chapter 173: Giving gifts.

Core’s words sunk into Sydney’s mind and she felt blank.

She nodded her head. I...this, how long has this been going on for?" She asked.

A few times. This is the seventh and last chance." Core replied sadly.

Oh...so what do I need to do? I mean..you say me coming to this world has already happened six times and this is the seventh which means all tuat other times I’ve been unable to succeed which means I end up dying."

I’m sorry." Core felt bad for having dragged Sydney into this matter. At that time, she was only a small girl and Core was desperate.

Can you tell me who is it that’s trying to kill you?" Sydney asked.

I don’t know who exactly they are." Core shook its head. "All I’m aware of is that they aren’t from me."

"Okay...so we don’t know who exactly our enemy is and they have succeeded in killing us six times over. Wah..I’ve actually died six times!!!"

You are still alive though...." Core replied.

Do you happen to have your own form? I desire to beat you up at least!!" Sydney sneered dying to slap Core to pulp.

Hehe." Core only laughed it off.

Sydney and Sai had left the snake tribe and returned to her home. She requested Ray to offer some prey to Sia and he wasn’t stingy about it.

The food that Sia got was too much that she had to run back and ask her mates over to help her carry it home. She left in high spirits.

Sydney went inside and found Enzo Greg and Kevin seated in the house lazing around.

You’ve returned!" Kev got onto his feet and came to her side. He smiled at her as his hands pat her head.

After the talk from the morning, they had come to an agreement, Ray and the other three would have to court her once again because she honestly didn’t have any emotional attachment to them at the moment, they agreed to try to re-establish the connection from before and they all glady agreed.

Mm...I have something I need is to talk about but we will wait till thw others return." Sydney said and they all agreed.

Let me do your hair!!" Kevin had nothing to do anyway and immediately jumped on to fiddle with Sydney’s hair.

You know how to?" Sydney asked skeptically as she let herself be dragged to the stone sofa to seat.

I know. I know." Kevin nodded and immediately went behind her to do her hair.

Is there a way for us to return their beasts to them?’ Sydney asked Core.

Umm..that..it is possible but a little risky." Core replied.

Risky? How?"

Well, their beast spirits have been forcefully ripped off of them and it can be said that their spirit essence is leaking out from them cutting their life spans by a whole third. Secondly, to return them to how they were before, we’ll have to find their beast spirits which could be anywhere in the beast world, there are twenty spirit corners that I put up to help birth spirit beasts, that could be the best place for torn off beast spirits to hang about as it’s capable of protecting their spirit essence from leaking. If their beast spirits weren’t able to find those spirit corners, there’s a likelihood that their spirits have already dispitated. Thirdly, attaching those two broken spirits back requires me to be at my best condition, it can also be don’t now but there’s a likelihood that I will not be able to make it, meaning, me and the beast world will vanish for ever." Core explained.

Sydney gulped hard. Ray and the others were really pitiful!! Beastmens pride we’re their beasts yet these four had nothing of it! They were very pitiful.

We will work something out. Don’t worry." Core assured and Sydney nodded. As long as there was hope, everything could eventually work out.

She had been sitting for a while and only when Kevin’s voice reached her did she snap from her thoughts. "Huh?" She asked.

I was asking if you like this style." Kevin repeated holding a crystal stone before Sydney.

White crystal stones once flattened and roughed out over time, could create a mirror like semblance though it wasn’t entirely clear, one would be able to see their reflection. This was an idea Sydney had come up with in her last life and her mates had gone through alot of hard work to make her a mirror. Kevin, after getting Sydney’s permission to court her again immediately rushed to find a white crystal which he took time to mend into a mirror, though it was still lacking, he wanted to present it to her and that was why he asked to do her hair. He wanted to trigger her mind by sgowing her something she liked from before.

Sydney was shocked looking at her reflection, it wasn’t the hair style but rather the mirror like stone. "This...?" She took it from Kevin’s hand and looked at him.

He immediately smiled seeing her expression. "I made this mirror for you."

It’s beautiful!!!" Sydney praised him. The mirror was indeed beautiful and it’s edges had been carefully crafted and smoothed out having a jade like surface, smooth to the touch! " Thank you."

It’s nothing much.."

It is!" She had been going around without having a proper chance to look at herself and when it came to her hair, the only styles she could dress were either letting her hair fall or pulling it up into a pony tail. But with a mirror coming in handy, she’d be capable of wearing different styles! There was also that beauty contest event, it’d be easier for her to make her hair!!

I also made you a little something." Enzo walked over and in his big palm lay a red craved eagle with its wings spread out majestically. The steong to the necklace was made of a cream glittering thread. It looked simple yet ethreal!!!

Sydney looked at the small necklace and a smile bloomed further on her face. She was getting small gifts but they were making her heart beat madly.

She took the necklace from Enzo and examined it. This thread is pretty!!" It was day but it still glittered.

Its thread from silver spiders." He explained. Silver spiders are spiders that are found on the other continent. He had run into their territory while he wandered around and obtained them. It was because they reminded him of his silly mate who was crazy about glittery and sparkly things.

Greg wasn’t one to be out done and he rushed forward. I also made you something but I still need some time to finish it!" He spoke flustered seeing that Enzo and Kevin were already giving her gifts!!!

She saw his red face and anxious expression which made her giggle. "Okay. I’ll wait for your gift too."

Mm..I won’t make you wait for long!!!" Greg was assured and infact didn’t wait around any more. He ran off to finish his gift.

Sydney turned her attention to Ray who had his hands crossed over his chest. "Don’t you have a gift for me?" Sydney asked expectantly.

I do." Ray replied confidently.

Where?" She looked over him to see if he had anything.

Me." He spoke with a grin.

Huh? Sydney’s mind first raced for a while before she realised what he meant. She flushed deep red. This roguish man!!!!

Enzo felt an urge to beat Ray up but the man had great brute force!! Detestable!!!!

They talked about different things as Ray also took time to ask Sydney what she wanted. It wasn’t long before the sun set and everyone returned home.

Lilly had been at the beast school with her brothers learning different things from Scott who had invited them over. Their experience wasn’t bad and they enjoyed their day with their uncle.

The men begun cooking while Greg really she’d over to light the fire torches all around the house.

Everyone washed up and walked to the dinning table to have dinner. Dinner went down in silence and only after the first round of food was finished did Sydney and Lilly put eating to a stop while the men went down on their second round.

How is work?" Sydney asked Ash.

It’s fine. Just a few matters here and there..." Ash replied.

Oh...um, I heard that there’s shortage of food in the city currently."

Mm...a number of small clans have indeed filed this complaint and we were thinking of a way to deal with it."

It’s all because of those outsiders!!" Ken bit his meat bitterly. His day had been sour and he ended up beating up a hooligan from the snow wolves clan.

Don’t tell me that you plan to take this matter upon yourself..." Sydney looked at Ash. Just the increase in population was already enough of a burden to him.

No... King Carlos suggested that all clans be responsible for their food supply chains
