Anytime the soul gourd rattled, a soul was close by. This rattling today was quite stronger than the previous one so she guessed that perhaps there was more than one soul close by.
She turned to her older siblings and said, "I think we should head in this direction, teacher told me that there was something but I can't quite remember what it is."
Adler came forward to lead the way even though he had no idea where he was going. He had a weapon in one hand which looked like a long battle axe. He was using it to cut down any tree branches and roots in the way.
Carolyn and Beord were shielding her in the middle so that in case of an attack by a mutated beast, they could protect her better.
Scarlet wanted to push her way through and go ahead of them but every time she did, she was pushed back by her older siblings.
"I am not weak and helpless you know." She mentioned.
"You have no mental strength." Beord replied in a rough voice. "We can defend ourselves physically while attacking any beast with our minds but you are defenseless."
She rolled her eyes at him playfully. He was the largest of all her brothers in size; he was built like a quarter back, just like her father Dorian. She was beginning to notice that he also had a savior personality; he was prince charming who always battled the dragon to protect the princess. If you added his height in the equation, he was like a gentle giant although he was not actually gigantic.
Any time something moved or shook, he would push her behind his large body and then pull out a very large metallic sword.
"Why are all of their weapons extra-large?" she asked herself. They looked to be really heavy and yet they were swinging them around with ease. Was this one of the benefits of having mental strength?
As the rattling became louder and more intense, she knew that they were coming closer.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
"Don't move." Adler shouted and they all came to a standstill.
As always, Beord pushed Scarlet behind his body and armed himself.
"Put it down." Beord barked sternly.
"No," Scarlet replied stubbornly.
"I knew this was a bad idea, she doesn't listen to anyone." Beord complained.
Scarlet wanted to prove a point however her soul gourd was shaking as if it was running along a train track so she had no choice but to put the duck down.
"We should take them with us." She told them. "Do you have any means of transporting them back?"
She was so determined that Adler knew she would not be leaving without these ducks. He took out an oval shaped white from his mecha suit and said "We can put them in the storage pod, but they can't be in there for more than five hours they will suffocate."
Storage pods were used for transporting captured alive or dead mutated beasts to collection centers and from there, they would be sent to the star laboratory in the capital where they would be studied. It was a requirement for everyone in the empire to carry a storage pod.
The sizes of these pods varied because the empire provides pods which kept only five animals. Private companies sold pods which stored up to fifty animals. These were mostly used by beast hunters.
The pod Adler was holding stored fifteen mutated animals and these were ten ducks. Scarlet did not forget to take their eggs as well.
"Now can we leave?" Beord grumbled.
"No." Scarlet responded. "We are almost at the location teacher told me about." She knew that if they take just ten more steps ahead, she will be where the souls are.
Reluctantly, they followed her with Beord trying to pull her behind but she kept slapping his hand away. In exactly ten steps, they found themselves in a field with overgrown green weeds that were almost covering a black space ship.
She saw around three souls moving around the space ship and she opened her soul gourd and sucked them in. Her soul gourd was still rattling and she curiously moved closer.
"What the hell! Scarlet, stay back." Adler shouted and yanked her back with so much force that she felt as if her body was flying in the air.
