<span style="font-weight:400">"That was easy," Keith smiled. This is bing easier and easier. He looked down at the bear. It was much bigger than the boar he killed in the beginning.
<span style="font-weight:400">Bit by bit, it became simpler. But Keith was still shocked that he took down a bear. Keith stared at the monster''s body. He turned to Aria, "We''re going to have a feast today!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria was excited as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re back," Keith and Aria returned to where Fira and Barton were.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What was the monster, Keith?" Fira flew on top of Keith''s head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bear,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It was a bear?!" Fira was surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm! We''re going to have a feastter!" Keith smiled. He turned to Barton, "Barton, how are you feeling?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngeh!" Barton screamed as he raised his hooves! He was ready to go!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, let''s set off again!" Keith jumped back on Barton. And like that, the two continued with their journey.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s set up camp here," Keith shouted. The sun had set, and there was no need to travel at night.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngh!" "Ho!" "Yay! Food!" Fira shouted out with excitement.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keithughed, "Alright, I''m going to make us some stew," Bear stew was perfect for this weather.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria flew up in the sky. Her job was to search around for monsters near their location.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith took out the bear.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was a gigantic body. Keith didn''t wait as he cut the monster up, splitting it into pieces. It didn''t take long as he took out the magic stone. This is pretty big. For the size of this thing, it was big.
<span style="font-weight:400">After slicing the meat, Keith took some cooking equipment from his storage. Keith took the chunk of bear meat and dredged it with flour, salt, and pepper. He also mixed in some other herbs.
<span style="font-weight:400">There were many herbs around there. The four-petal rose was a great herb. Grinding it down and sprinkling it on meat would give it a sweet and mellow vor. Once he finished coating them, he started to cook them in a pan.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Smells so good!" Fira sniffed the air.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded, "Of course!" Keith continued to let the meat cook for a bit before taking it off the pan. There was a nice crust under the pan. Keith quickly ced in some vegetables he had diced. After a while, he poured some chicken stock, water, and the bear meat back, letting it stew.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now we needed to wait for it to be finished cooking," It was the waiting game.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I should make some other food," Keith took something out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to roast these over a fire," Keith smiled. Sweet potatoes. They were perfect for roasting over a fire! He quickly ced it over the fire. While they waited, Aria flew back down, Keith smiled,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you for securing the area for me,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho," Aria nodded. There was no need to say that. She had done this all the time. Keith smiled,
<span style="font-weight:400">"And you came just at the right time,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The roasted potatoes are done now," Keith smiled as he took them off the fire. The outside was pitch ck. But Keith knew the outside wasn''t the thing they should focus on.
<span style="font-weight:400">He cut the potato in half. What was inside was a steamy orange meat.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s eat!" Fira shouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah!" Keith handed them each a piece. The steaming off the potato was incredible! The four ate the potato without a thought.
<span style="font-weight:400">"So delicious!" Fira stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The inside is juicy, and the outside is slightly crispy too! I want to eat more!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Roasted sweet potatoes are the best!" Keith always loved the taste of roasted sweet potatoes. It tasted even better on colder days. As they continued to eat,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It seemed the stew was done too,"
<span style="font-weight:400">Perfect time. Keith and the other creatures stare at the pot rumbling. It was the sounds of it ready, wanting to be taken off.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith didn''t wait as he opened the lid. The smell of the stew was incredible.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith didn''t say anything. He continued to stare at the stew.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" "Ho!" Aria and Fira shouted at Keith, snapping him out of this.
<span style="font-weight:400">He shook his head, "Sorry about that. I couldn''t help but marvel at it," He was in awe at his cooking. This was the first time he cooked something with different spices added to it.
<span style="font-weight:400">And it was time to have a taste. Keith took hisdle and ced it into the pot. He poured it for everyone. Everyone was excited about this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"So delicious!" The four shouted at the taste of the food! It didn''t take long for the four to finish the stew in a matter of minutes! Keith was happy about the food. He cleaned the dishes,
<span style="font-weight:400">"We should go to sleep now," Keith answered. It was time to go to sleep.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!" Fira nodded. They had to set up camp right here. Keith set up the camp. He turned to Aria,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aria, are you sure you don''t want me to stand guard?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria shook her head. She was going to watch over them.
