[I really can't believe I decided to listen to him again]
After several complaints from the human who was just trying to find the fastest way we could get food, we decided to simply follow the conversational voices that spoke in the ruins.
"Only if we can get close to them, hope they have something we can steal and bite from, we can maybe extend our stay here, without fear of dying of hunger"
As he continued to speak, I commanded the body to try to get closer and closer to these strange voices. We were able to hear some of what they said:
'Are you sure this is the place they told us? They all look the same. '
'I'm sure of it. The information you gave us is from a reliable source. All we have to do is find the big ruin in this place, see?'
Even though the body followed the source of the voices, we were unable to keep up and the voices only got weaker with every step we took. More than that, our field of vision through the invisible barrier was blurry, because of the piles of stones and grass, we couldn't see who was doing them.
"Now that I think about it, I can't understand them"
[I ask the same question about you]
The body kept trying to catch up until suddenly the voices came back and got louder again and again
' This is the place we were told about the great ruin! '
'It looks just like everything here'
'Hey, I think this is the place. I don't recognize anything like it. Shilero! You'll go check out the place to see if there's anything worth checking out. Margek and I will go turn stones here and there and everything else, they will dig in place. We have until sundown to finish this and I hope we can find it.'
The body was standing behind a pile of stones while we heard this and I ordered him to look at the place. This was a big pile of stones. The human stood in front of the invisible barrier, also trying to understand what was happening there:
"I can't see them. I think we should carefully approach the place"
I commanded the body to move closer. The grass obscured part of our field of vision as they approached the great ruin with each step, but no sounds were heard. Eventually, we stopped at a large pile of rocks and started climbing it. It didn't take long for us to reach the top of it. He looked and began to point at something:
"These are bags! I'm sure there's something in them for us to bite into!" He pointed to what looked like painted stones lying on the grass, with lines loosely coming out of them. But next to them, there was no one.
"This is an opportunity! We need to hurry if we're going to grab something to eat before they bring it back!"
And with those words, the body descended and moved quickly to what he called 'bags'. When we got to them, they were relatively large. The human began to speak:
"These are definitely big bags. We will try to open them"
I ordered the body to try to open it and with the help of its legs it stuck to the bag closest to us and started trying to move it, but it didn't help.
"I think we should untie the straps of the bag. Let's try them on"
[What is a strips?]
I looked at him in confusion. Surprisingly, he understood the situation:
"You see the strange line coming out of the bag? You have to grab it and pull it back. That's how you're able to open a bag. Got it"
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
Still confused, I commanded the body to do exactly what it said. He caught his beak in one of the straps and began to move backward. It was difficult for the body to pull the leash, but with every step he took, it seemed that the leash began to loosen from the catch, until in one moment, the leash was completely released and the body flew backward. Things started pouring out of the bag that I can't identify at all. The human looked at them through the invisible barrier:
"Shovel, metal tools, and other things I don't recognize... I'm sure there's no food in this bag. Let's try another bag"
I commanded the body to move towards the bag next to him, and we repeated this process. This time the human began to point to something:
"This is bread! I haven't seen bread in a long time!" He got excited while looking at me excitedly. He wanted me to make the body eat this thing.
[I'm not sure about that..]
"For once, trust me," he said as if he understood my tweets. Due to a lack of choice and the feeling of hunger, I commanded my body to move towards the bread. The bread was quite large compared to the size of the body and with that, the beak of the body began to stick into the bread and bite into it. Crumbs seemed to scatter everywhere with this bite, which was accompanied by a taste I had never felt before. I have never tasted anything like this, and it was quite delicious!
The human felt it was the same:
"This is good bread! It's been a long time since I've tasted bread like this"
Like a dream, my body kept biting into the bread and the taste and texture of the bread filled my entire mouth. But in the end, we came back to reality:
'I found it' one of the voices sounded out of nowhere, throwing us back to reality. The human soon understood and looked at me:
"We have to get out of here, now!"
I quickly commanded to run back to the pile of rocks we were standing on earlier. With all the steps that began to be heard from all sides following his calling voice, I commanded the body to run. But the sky began to darken quickly, and suddenly, I felt something grab me.
'I found something too!' A thunderous voice was heard above us and together, we realized one thing:
It was too late to escape.
As we began to rise higher and higher, the human froze in fear and shock that they managed to catch us until we came face to face with our captor: his eyes were piercing, his face was flat with fur and what looked like extremely thin, bare feathers coming out of what looked like soft leaves above his mouth. Compared to the human, he looks much more beautiful. He looked around at us before a few others began to gather near us and they began to talk to each other:
'You want to tell me that this bird managed to open our bag and bite into our bread? I do not believe you. I'm sure Shilero didn't close this bag all the way and it pulled him.
'Don't blame me for this, I know I closed this bag well before we went anywhere. That bird did manage to open that bag by herself, I'm sure of it' Shilero said.
More of them arrived before one of them spoke:
'Release this poor bird. He was just hungry. Next time, I give the responsibility of the bags to Makimaki. Shilero, please at least take responsibility for this. You can see that our tool bag is also open and everything spilled out of it. I'm sure that a little bird... weird... like him, wouldn't be able to open a bag with straps. Release her back. We have something more important than that. '
The one who caught us started moving away from the strange group and near the pile of rocks, he released us. The first thing we did was run away from the place and not look behind.
The feeling of exhaustion caught him when I decided to stop behind one of the ruins.
The human was still paralyzed by the situation before he turned to me:
"Those were otters. Giant talking otters. What.." He stopped talking after he moved to the side of the walls that was filled with new information:
----------------------------------------
Otternoid
An extremely intelligent social creature, lives in cities and knows how to use tools and fire. They are considered one of the most influential creatures in the area where they are present. They are omnivores.
----------------------------------------
We didn't move from the place for a while until one of them, even after releasing us, unexpectedly approached us and just looked at us, didn't move from the place.
The human stood still, still in shock from everything that happened, leaving me to decide what to do with it.
I'm not afraid of them!
But he does.

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 crake 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.
