Under the sky in front of the creature that just died for a few moments and a feeling of hunger bubbling up from me, we look at him confused as to what exactly happened and why it happened.
"spirits were so strong... it's disturbing. How come we didn't do this before and I didn't realize how strong it was? Everything we went through could have ended in seconds not with such violence and not with the pain you're experiencing now. It's so much to think about." The human said this while he was walking between the barrier and between the lines and the writing imprinted between the walls while I, feeling the pain of the battle that ended in a single moment against the giant.
Hunger slowly began to float between us and show the results of the battle and together with the exhaustion and even thirst was felt and weighed down between us and right from the body, fresh blood gently oozed from the injury that the body had done moments before. The human began to speak:
"I'm afraid that in our current situation - we shouldn't even try to look for fruit, who knows what could happen to us in our situation? I can't believe I'm saying this, but we should eat the corpse"
[Eat it?!] I tweeted him in response to an idea that, even though it came to mind, is still contrary to my ideology.
"I don't like this idea either, but I'm afraid that if we don't eat it now, it's hard to say if we'll be able to last much longer. Fruits aren't common as I understood during our time on the road. The injuries on the legs of the body and the red colors on the writing on the information wall also indicate that Something similar - what I'm trying to say is that there is no other choice"
Just by talking about it, the human's behavior seems to show a sense of disgust, but then he looked at me:
"Maybe, just maybe... we can summon another spirit... who can roast the body"
[What are you talking about?]
Without any thought, the human hovered over the wall of information and touched his bare wings with the inscription "Animism" and it began to glow.
[Didn't you say it was a risk to wind time just moments before?!]
"I know, but if I'm thinking correctly - they need something in return for doing something. In my day, we'd make sacrifices to our god for blessings. I guess it's the same thing."
I stood still for a few moments before tweeting back:
[What?]
"Just see and learn" he began to bend down and bow:
"I, myself, and this overgrown bird next to me would like to ask any spirit - could you roast the prey we managed to kill with your help?"
[Who are you say 'overgrown bird' here?!] I said this as he continued to talk weirder than usual and with it, small glowing balls began to surround us. Something I haven't seen before with the previous spirits. He continued to speak:
"In return for your effort and not your niceness as in the previous ones, I offer most of the body of the prey to you and leave us a piece that will satisfy and satiate us for the present moment" He remained crouched while the bullets hovered near him and then disappeared moments later, leaving us as before.
There was silence between us until he got up and stood, and looked to the sides, but nothing happened.
"It seems they didn't accept my request" His face was down when he said this, not wanting to eat the corpse fresh. When he looked at the information wall with me, the writing was colored red like some of the others. A smell began to fill the place. It is a smell I have not encountered before, but the human jumped and floated to the invisible barrier with his face glued to the invisible, seeing the outside. I gently moved forward in pain as well, to see what was happening. What I saw was the body of the creature on fire.
[Why is it on fire?!] I was surprised by the situation and even afraid of the fire that enveloped the body as if it had burned. I commanded the body to move and stay away from the place, but the body did not exactly respond to me. It seems to be too much for him.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
[We need to get out of here!] I tweeted
"You don't have to worry," the human said while his face was still looking at how the body started to decompose into the fire and burn gently, leaving behind a smell that didn't remind me of smoke, it's a subtle smell that I didn't know before. I moved away from the place behind me as everything burned gently.
"This is how you roast meat," the human said, not understanding anything of the situation.
We stayed in front of the burning body as it began to get smaller and smaller until the fire faded and with it, the body of the huge creature that almost killed us reduced to a piece of light brown shredded flesh. There were no bones or flesh or any ashes left. The human turned and began to speak:
"Now is our time to eat the piece of meat they left for us. It will be much tastier and better. I promise" he said and motioned for me to move forward and bite into the meat. I was afraid of the whole situation. How the sides fell apart, but hunger continued to prevail inside me and as in the case of the bread, I ordered my body to move gently towards the piece of meat that stood in front of us.
The movement of the injured body limped gently to the piece, and while its beak was wide open, its prong penetrated the flexible and strange texture of the roasted meat and bit it. The sensation of the meat began to be felt in my mouth. A taste I didn't know before, but reminds me of the inner taste of the oysters I once ate.
I didn't expect it to taste familiar, but unfamiliar at the same time. Is this the taste of another creature that caught fire? This thought bothered me but it didn't bother the human, as if he had eaten these many times.
While the body continued to bite and eat the charred flesh, the hunger gently disappeared and with it, my feeling of discomfort from its taste and texture also increased. In the end, everything ended and with it the hunger and satiety that followed with the ascent of the sun to its highest point.
"It was great!" The human said before he floated to the wall of information and looked at it. He continued to speak:
"Let's find shelter. I don't think in the current situation we should stay here. I hope there was a good tree to climb with his injuries"
Without saying anything, I agreed with him and commanded the body to advance to the nearest tree. The tree that the body was focused on was not very tall, but it seemed to be enough to rest against. As they advanced towards him, out of nowhere lines began to occupy a large part of the field of vision:
"Not again!" The human said this before writing began to fill the place:
----------------------------------------

The list of abilities given to the chooser are (you can choose only one):

"Advanced Info" - expands the "Info" capability and can show statuses and additional information.
"Random upgrade" - chooses one random ability or attribute and strengthens it.
----------------------------------------
"This is an absolutely difficult choice! What we did was definitely worth it!"
He said this while the body climbed deeper into the tree and hid among its branches. He detached himself from the trunk of the tree out of his weakness sat down with it on the nearest branch and closed his eyes. The place was dark as usual and with it, we were left with this list that we had to choose from. This time I don't know exactly anything.
What exactly should we choose exactly?

General information:
It is a moderately flightless bird. They are mostly herbivores that eat fruits, seeds, and roots but are also able to eat and crack mollusks, crustaceans, and fish when the opportunity arises.
Their large and powerful beaks are capable of causing quite a bit of damage and are adapted to the food they eat, but they will more often than not choose to flee rather than fight, even though they have no natural fear.
This is a bird that does not exist in this world and should not exist. There is nothing like her in this world.
Some say that they can understand their surroundings better than anything else, but this is not proven or disproved, it can be seen that sometimes their feathers change according to their mood and the state of the environment in which they live.
