How many possibilities are there of being reincarnated as an intelligent bipedal reptile? I have no idea, but what are the chances of someone surviving an extermination attempt? Well, I don't know that either. However, before my eyes, GrrGrrr tries to help what I believe must be an adult of our species; he is injured and has several debris on top of him. I stand there observing and thinking about the new possibilities that open up for us with him, but GrrGrrr brings me back and I don't need to be an expert in his language and gestures to know that he is saying: Don't just stand there, help me!
Immediately, I start removing some debris; the adult reptile looks disoriented. I see as we gradually remove everything covering it; several wounds and burns, one wound located on its right leg, and without being a doctor, I know it doesn't look good; what do we do? Of course, helping him is the right thing to do, but what else can we do? I don't know anything about first aid. The adult says something in the same growls that GrrGrrr makes, causing him to run towards some rubble. Did he ask him to look for something? What do I do? I look back at the adult who is watching me and makes the same growls again, pointing to where GrrGrrr is. He must do something there and wants us to look for it, but what? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, whatever! And I go where GrrGrrr is and start looking for I don't know what, maybe some kind of first aid kit?
While searching, I find a kind of glass bottles and point them out to GrrGrrr. He nods, I think, with joy, as he takes all he can and brings them to the adult; I do the same with the ones that are left. The adult says something again and takes one of the bottles and drinks from it; another one he pours on his wounds, mainly on his injured leg. This confirms it, it must be some kind of medicine; he then speaks to GrrGrrr again, who pays him full attention. For the moment, I can only wait and see what GrrGrrr does, since I don't understand anything. I feel useless again. Damn!
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
In the end, the adult starts to get up and GrrGrrr, takes the remaining jars and follows him, and of course, I do the same; the adult walks limping and we both follow him. Emerging from the rubble, I try to get a better look at the adult; it is still bleeding, part of its tail is missing, and I think it lost an eye. Poor thing, it's a mess; out of nowhere, it starts making a series of growls I've never heard before, but that GrrGrrr also starts to make. Could it be some kind of call? Could they be screaming? Is there anyone alive around here! The truth is, I don't know, but I'm worried that this will attract humans again or anything else. We are already at our limit, he is very injured and we haven't eaten anything, and at least for me, I feel the effects of the lack of food and, added to everything that has happened to us, the truth is that I am at my limit.
The adult stops, but GrrGrrr keeps making the sounds; then I see him staring at me, oh no! Is he expecting me to make those same sounds? The truth is, they are very different from the ones GrrGrrr has taught me, and I don't think I can imitate them, not without practice; just then, the adult approaches me, looks at me with greater attention, emits new growls, and waits. What do I do?
I was paralyzed, I didn't know what to do. He makes the same sounds again, or so I think; honestly, I don't know. What does he expect me to do? I didn't think this through. When we brought him in, I thought that with him we would have a better chance of surviving and maybe finding some answers, but if the fact that he can't understand his language means something bad for me, I don't know their customs, I don't know anything about these creatures. GrrGrrr accepts and helps me because he is like a child; maybe he doesn't understand everything and that's why he helps me, but this adult, what will he think of me?
