"What are you doing?! Get away from him!"
He went into paranoia and with him at that moment, he floated to the engraved wall, to try himself to press the "Run" engraving. I was about to look, helpless in my ability to stop him from touching the inscription, and with it, he began to glow and the body obeyed. With each step, the distance began to grow and increased gaps between step to side.
And together, the human's face just started to contort in the mirror:
"The other way! Not to him!" He screamed as the body ran towards the giant otter who was just standing there watching what was happening. The human hovered back and touched the engraving "Run" which stopped glowing and the body stopped, a short distance from his shadow overlooking the grasses and us.
The human seems to have lost his mind and started curling up on the side, muttering things I can't understand and I'm standing in front of the invisible barrier, watching how from above he looks at us with his strange face. With his mouth, he begins to open and from it, they began to take out a rudder:
'You are a strange bird'
[Strange bird?! You're the weird one here!]
We continued to look at each other while I was able to hear the human muttering from the side:
"I'm going to die because of an overgrown chicken that knows no fear"
The otter began to lower himself in his direction, his face showing more curiosity than anger:
'I don't think I know a bird of this kind, such a strange one'
Behind him, the sounds of crumbling stones landing on the fresh grass were heard while there were mutterings, and one particularly dominant voice:
'Be careful with that! I don't want to see us come back with wounded here today! We're going to be rich here today and I don't want to pay for wound closures here.'
The giant otter looked behind before one of his hands began to come closer and put next to a piece of bread and just as quickly he got up and returned to his friends in the ruins. His shadow moved forward with him and left us alone with the piece he brought. Missing the taste, I bit into the bread.
The human stopped cuddling from the side when the taste began to flow looked around, and said to me:
"Bread? We managed to escape from it?!" They quickly got up and moved towards the invisible barrier, watching as the body ate the last piece of bread the giant otter brought us and disappeared as quickly as it was eaten. The taste disappeared along with it and the human seems to have started to get his sanity back at this point:
"Let's just get out of this place" he begged me.
[don't be dramatic]
I ordered the body to move away from the scene while the giant otters minded their own business. The piles and ruins began to move from our side with every walk the body made. The human looked at the walls while the body preceded him:
"Otters that behave like humans... in my wildest dreams I never imagined that I would come across something like this" he ponders to himself what happened moments before:
"It just shows how foreign this place is to me. This is what it means to throw logic out the window. It's enough that I'm locked up with overgrown chickens here, inside an overgrown chicken's body, in a foreign world where I'm the prey in a world where I know nothing but what I am See. What a fool I am."
[It is clear as day that you are a fool and an idiot. Say something new.]

He continued to mutter to him as we walked, but in the distance, he began to hear a particularly loud shout:
'Hell fox!!!' A scream was heard a moment later.
"Let's run away from here, and not to them this time"
I agreed with him this time and commanded the body to run away from the place. The foray led us away from the pile of rocks and the ruins and in the same breath, we also bypassed the wall and left the ruins. Exhaustion set in quickly when we reached some nearby vegetation growing in the area, and I decided to stop. Of course, the feeling of tiredness does not come late while I pant together with the human.
"I forget that I feel the way the body feels"
I ignored him while I ordered my body to continue moving more slowly and with him, time passed until we reached a nearby tree that stood tall against the low grasses and bushes. The human motioned for me to climb the tree and soon we were already standing on one of its branches when the sun began to set and the body began to close its eyes and the room became black.
"Crazy day" was all he said as he stared at the etched wall in the few moments before the body opened its eyes to the light of dawn. But conversations began to be heard below us:
'screw this! Why did the hellish fox have to appear precisely at the most important time!' The body trembled together with a strong knocking in the tree, taking part of the leaves down, together with the field of vision of the body that I ordered to look at what there was talking, about seeing the group of otters.
Most of them were wounded, sitting under the tree where the body was sleeping, watching all the things that read there:
'Khilled! Was supposed to keep an eye on the situation!' A large, muscular-looking otter stuck his limbs into Khilled's body, blaming him for the situation.
"Don't blame him for that, it's just that it was hard to see him," said another otter, whose hand seemed to be completely wrapped in something white
'Don't get involved Makimaki! I told everyone that I didn't want to pay for injured people. Now I also have to pay for the funeral, Kermodma'ol!' He turned to the side, trying to relax, but his behavior showed otherwise:
'Damn, darn, darn! Hell Fox should not be in these fields! I will never forget his face, how he smiled while Shilero's head was in his mouth and ran away with his body—these devilish creatures. If I see him again, I'll see to it that he receives the same treatment Kermodma'ol did to the corpses of our friends. What will we say to the monitor now?!' He threw his hands to the tree and shook it so hard that the body almost fell. I made it in time for the team to hold on.
"I can understand them," the human said to me:
"Losing a friend like that, I can empathize with that" He advanced to the invisible barrier, watching the drama unfolding there:
'Don't blame yourself or anyone else there' Makimaki told him, but the muscular otter slapped his hands away:
'I told you not to get involved! leave me alone. I want you all to go back to town and say that a hell fox has been seen here in these fields. Let them say that if they catch him, I personally want to see his head beheaded. I at the same time, together with Joinahan will return to the ruins to finish our work there. and Khilled'
He advanced to an otter that looked small, but looked familiar in many ways, even when we were watching from above:
'Bring the Hogs. When we get back to town, I want to talk to you there.'
Angrily, he took one of the standing otters, of the few that were uninjured, and advanced back into the ruins. The wounded sat under the tree trying to bandage their wound and rest while Khilled, a little scared, started to move away from the tree and deep into the grass.
"Great... I don't think we'll be getting off the tree anytime soon" he complained as he continued to look at the invisible barrier and me standing in the center of the place, not exactly caring about the situation.
Thirst began to feel in my throat, and I noticed that he began to feel it too.
"This is exactly what I wanted. Excellent. What do we do now?" He sits down and sees things just stay as they are.
"That's just great... where is water now?"
One of the otters took out something that looked like a sack, from which water was pouring and put it aside.
"Me and my big mouth. Do we want to do this again or return to the river after they're gone?"
[You know, you're a bad luck charm. gives me trouble too]

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.
