Chapter 29: Escape planning

[I don't think we should leave this place now]

This is the first thing that came to my mind with all the movement that feels relatively fast and with every bush and tree that passes through the holes.

The human looked at me while Ratava didn't move and stood still, motionless.

"So you're suggesting we stay here and wait to see where they take us? The last time I saw a hen being led like that, there wasn't a bone left of him* he said in a raised voice as if he already knew this. He stands and thinks for a moment, realizing that Ratava probably can't help us with this. No as if I understand its existence here.

"Maybe as soon as they stop, and open the box for us, we'll take the opportunity and run away! We can probably summon a spirit to help us... right?"

He turned to Ratava and without any delay or thought, she answered:

*Positive* In a loud voice she answered and like a lifeless creature, did not move.

"So that sounds like a plan. Let's just hope we can make it work... you know what? It's a bad plan, we can't stay here too long! At their weakest moment, we'll hack our way through with the spirit that can help us"

He began to ponder as he spoke more. We continued to be in the same spot as the field of view continued to show the alternate journeys of more vegetation passing in front of us. In moments that seemed like a long time, the mirror gradually changed to a path studded with stones, similar to where we walked before, and with it, the mirrors only moved even faster.

The feeling of waiting for the right moment to escape from here or to see what awaits us only made the human continue to ponder even more while he looked outside, and Ravata remained where she stood during this whole moment, as a lifeless creature. Suddenly, the movement started to slow down, and jumps were visible, I could feel them in my legs, even though I could only see what was happening.

The room was filled with rustling sounds and collisions while through the field of vision, we could see a wide view, just like when we stood on the hill, we saw the city sliding into the wide ocean. The human also sees this and finally begins to come out of his thoughts:

"I can't believe we're going to this city..." He approaches the invisible barrier and watches as we begin to descend toward this city:

"I think we have a chance - at the entrance to this city, at this moment, when the guards check the place, we will escape from here, I promise" he turns to me with a confident look before he approaches Ratava and turns to her:

"Can you summon a spirit that can help us escape once guards come to check on us?"

*Affirmative. As soon as [[human]] touches the 'Avatar' engraving on the information wall, I will summon a spirit to match your request*

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

He looks in surprise at Ratava at her words:

"Wait, do you want me to touch your embroidery to summon a spirit?!"

*Affirmative. I do not have the authority to directly use the abilities possessed by [[unknown]] other than [[human]] and [[dodo bird]]*

I hear what I can call 'conversation' between them as we gently approach the city. It didn't take long for the traffic outside to slow down.

[How are we going to get out of here, genius hollow tree?]

The human gets frustrated with me and gently moves away from Ratava who is still standing like a pillar and turns to me:

"I suggest by force - we summon a spirit that can break through this by force and we just run away in the chaos it creates. Easy easy"

[And what will happen if we get hurt or something goes wrong? Why can't they not be here?]

"It's a solution to everything, I can't believe it... I wish we just couldn't be here... wait... spirit can..."

*Negative. Under the limitation of an entity [[unknown]], the ability 'teleportation', also through the spirits, is prohibited*

"What?!!" He is even more surprised as we gently stop while he walks closer to Ratava trying to talk to her and understand why but I ignore and try to watch from the outside what is happening. Every few moments, it moves and then stops. So I remember something:

[If we can't be here, then maybe we'll try to... how would you say - talk to them?]

The human stopped talking to her, but before he could respond to them, she began to speak:

*Affirmative. The ability 'telepathy' enables direct speech without a language barrier*

"It's a good idea, but it won't guarantee that it will help us, or it will even make the situation worse" The human turned in my direction and continued talking:

"We know nothing about them and how will they see that suddenly a flightless bird, with a huge and strange beak, with shiny feathers, imprisoned in a cage, suddenly 'talks' to those who have not caught us - the otters or these land fish, will he see us? That we are monsters?!"

While he raised his voice, the room was filled with voices from outside and we could hear indistinct conversations and with them, they started to walk.

There is not much time to decide - what should be done - break in by force, talk to them, or about something else!

Name: ----

Title: Heir of Vyu'argani, Exalted, Hungry Eyes

Age: (30 days) - Young? | (100% growth) | Growth Suspended - "Exalted" effect |

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.

And not only that, in his presence and now, he made the impossible impossible. Ghosts follow him like a king, just like demons and mortals, so say the rumors coming from the forest.

It is an avian druid who has used his last powers to resist death. He is still a mortal among them all and looks just like the bird he was before, but what is inside is beyond description. As if it belongs to something else. Something deeper than it should be. But why this is something that is still too early to answer?
