At the edge of extinction, some decisions were never choices.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULdidr2nuN
In the darkness, they learned what it meant to be one another.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNPIeS3f1s

The invasions were relentless, driving the tribe to the brink of collapse.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpglvRUnnma
Survival of the fittest——cruel, but enduring.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09mzLotZsF
And yet, from the ruins, they rose again, rebuilding the will to live.

In a small cave, the few remaining pigs were packed tightly together.
After relentless attacks, casualties had steadily mounted.
The exhausted herd had no room to breathe, let alone recover.
The air reeked of blood and damp earth, and even their breathing felt heavy.
In one corner, a large pig was pressing down hard on another pig’s hind leg with his front hoof—
But upon closer look, there was… nothing left there at all.

“...Honey...”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo3LKu1Rza
He spoke softly, his voice barely audible.
“If I die… please eat me.”
The foreleg pressing against his wound trembled—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3qrt05tNe
perhaps from the strain,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYWXgFkHf3
or perhaps the weight of those words.
“What are you saying… You’ll be okay. You have to make it through!”
The wounded pig let out a faint smile, gasped a few breaths,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4vsd5kb6r
and reached out with his other thick hoof.
Slowly, he touched his wife’s snout—54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1XsrB5Hvr
leaving behind a warm, red streak.
“You know this kind of wound… won’t heal.”
“Rather than be eaten by them,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzzVS6qcW9
I’d rather you live.”
Then, lifting his head, he shouted toward the center of the cave:
“If we must die,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiER9jYYEX
then let us nourish our own,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13bhushJJs
not feed our enemies!”
Silence fell.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxczuksisW8
Every breath in the cave stilled.
A few seconds later, another pig spoke up:54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ43TaSEzY
“Me too!”
Then a third:54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5iArX75g7
“And me!”

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXbdzMMTpA
After days of starvation, they finally had something to eat.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrozHIiUYxR
It should have been a joyful moment.
But for some reason, tears began to fall,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePpYFzMhLo
soaking their fur, turning even the taste bitter.

A slightly smaller pig gripped a stick between its front hooves, trying to lift it.
Clack——
The stick fell.
He didn’t make a sound, just bent down to pick it up again.
This time, he squeezed harder— even lifted one hoof slightly.
Thud——
It dropped again.
He stared at the stick for a few seconds, his nose twitching.
I can’t rely on the warriors alone…
He picked the stick up once more, moving even more slowly this time. His front hooves trembled from the tension.
As long as I have a weapon…
Maybe… I can protect myself too.

That day was the darkest in their histor——54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ8mujieFk
and the very first step toward their rebirth.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vFzlWfmCs
