Arca stops as her senses told her she was being watched, even though of course this is part of the exercise. But for the last year she has been training the boy to be more independent in certain times. For the jungle is vast and has its dangers. She herself can be a danger. It isn't unheard of for a Arachne to hunt and eat a human. But she would never harm a helpless human. But just because she is kind, Noah must be able to evade at least against most dangers. For she won't always be with him to defend him. Arca listens and out of instinct she grabs some thread and throws it to a high level in the tree just to her backside. And there just a feet away from where she aimed, was the boy. She gave a hiss just like a hunting predator would. She had spotted him, now can he get away?

Well isn't went how he expected and now there aren't much things to do now, one thing for sure a predator won't hesitate to attack him immediately and he's not strong, plus he has nothing to defend himself, so if our white-haired boy stays still he will get caught, the best thing he can do is running in the trees, going as fast and possible and find a place where his mother can't enter, one of the most easy things to do for Noah is finding a good spot since he's not very big, tall for a human of his age, more skinny still and pretty short.
So, he runs immediately without giving his mother another time to realise he's running, he just need to find a hiding spot were she can't enter. He had learnt how to run faster, how to not fall down, how to stay in the trees, let's hooe he can pass this hunting round.

Arca throws more webs and chases the boy. Not letting him out of her sight. After all this time he does seem to have gotten stronger and therefore more agile. Now let's see how well he does. If he gets to a small space before she catches him, then he passes the challenge

Luckily for him, he's able to miss all of the webs him mother throws at him, running faster than ever. And finally, he finds what he's searching for, a perfect hiding spot where he can enter with no problems unlike his mother that can't unless she becomes smaller like him. So he runs, jumps to tree to tree to get there

Arca throws a new line and this time does get a hold. It caught his foot and stuck. She starts dragging him to her. 'Think fast child. How do you escape this?' Arca said in her mind, but not aloud. He hasn't lost yet he might escape.

Noah gasp and whips in surprise as he got caught by the feet by his mother's web, and he immediately searches for a way to get free, his hiding spot is so close! Then he finds in the ground something that can help him go away, a pointy rock, and he immediately starts to cut of the web as fast as possible, as he finally gets free he runs before he can catch her again and slips into the entrance of his cave, so that his mother can't catch him.

Arca crosses her arms and walks up to the entrance. "Well, guess I am having no cub for dinner tonight. Come on out sweetie, give your mommy a hug." She opens her arms ready for her embrace

Noah jas almost shocked, he really did it, he had surpassed the hunt test! He immediately gets out and hugs his mother in a big embrace, at least, big for him, as he's still pretty small «Did you see mother?! I was like- Phiuuum! And-and you were like- whooom!» he says smiling happily and excited

Arca covers his cheek in small kisses. "I am proud of you. My little cub you've grown stronger. Even while restraining myself I do indeed see your progress. Soon no predator will catch you. Now since you won the challenge it means you get to choice our next game." They made a bet of sorts for winning, if he won he could pick their next game. But if she won then she would pick.

Noah can't help but giggle for his mother kisses, they always make him happy and since he's living with her he's probably the happiest jungle boy, and also he had never been so happy and joyful like he is since Arca took him as her son.
«Oh right!~~ Well I actually have two options and i don't really know what to choose, so maybe you can help me!» he says smiling happily «I was thinking about hide and seek or maybe... Uuh... I forgot the other one... Oh well! We can play hide and seek mother?»

Arca puts down the boy and they head off to play hide and seek. Noah was a very lucky boy. At this rate he won't have to fear any predator in the jungle. Nor be alone for he will always have one person that loves him. ~fin~
