A Story (Part 4)

The cracking sound stopped, and the numb feeling was bothering Beckor. He hated being numb. He couldn't move any of his body except for his eyes, nose, mouth, and his expression. But he couldn't talk. So he stared at as angrily Lythia as angrily as he could. Lythia pretended not to notice and held up another leaf, which looked like the one she used as a weapon.
"This is-" Lythia was interrupt by the angry sound of Beckor's clattering teeth. She looked at him, and continued.
"This is a leaf from that tree." She pointed at the one near the closed room. Again, Beckor made an angry sound to show how uncomfortable he was, but this time Lythia ignored him.
"It is a very poisonous tree. Its leaf can be used as medicine or weapons. We can get the poison by washing it in hot, pure water, and put the mixture under the sun until it turned into a deep colored mixture. We can dip our weapons in it. And as for the rest of the poison in the leaf, we can cook it and drink the soup when your pain hurts like crazy. It can make you feel better." She put the leaf on the ground. Crack! The sound started again. Creeak! The door of the room opened slowly, and a beautiful creature came out. Beckor knew immediately that it was the magical creature Lythia had mentioned when they were in front of the door of the room.

It was a white animal that looked like something between a cat and a dog. It had a long snout, pointy small ears, teeth that are as long and sharp as a saber-tooth's, a clean, bright skin covered with fur, sharp claws that can be pushed in or out, and a long, strong, thick tail that can grow longer if wanted. The creature's head was covered with short fur. The creature was slighted smaller than a horse and slightly bigger than a wolf. From its strong paw and legs, Beckor was sure that the creature can jump high and far, and that it can run very fast and for a long time.

The creature walked towards Beckor and breathed at him. Its breath was like the soft, warm wind that blew against his skin. Suddenly, he no longer feel numb, and he could move again! When he stood up and stretched, the creature went to drink something from a bowl Lythia had prepared.
