"Crushing Beak LVL 1: Beak is able to pierce even through tough scales. (LVL 1 able to crush monsters with less than 500 DEF, LVL 5 Able to crunch monsters with less than 2000 Def, LVL 10 Evolves into Dragons Beak LVL 1."
I was totally satisfied with my new skill and was ready to head out, "Lets go."
My mom was understandbly freaking out about how I almost died, "How-w di-d you d-do that, by t-the time I-I reac-ted you w-were out-t of harm-ms way," she struggled to ask.
I was about to say it, but then I saw the filolials recollecting themselves, "I'll tell you later," she understood and nodded.
"We should go, it's gonna get dark soon, but lets take the dragon meat, it is precious and could feed us for weeks," the gray filolial said.
My mother glared at her. "Well of course you and your son should get the first taste of it," then mom went to neutral, "we better."
Mom goes over and starts dragging the water dragon and two filolials get up to help her, mom tenses, then calms down after realizing their intentions.
We start walking towards the filolials village
I get bored and start using the analyze skill on mom
"Target: Mother Flame Chocobo LVL 32" "Analyze LVL 1 has leveled up to LVL 2"
Three things confused me...
1. Moms species has Mother in it
2.She said her stats were averaged around 600 and she is LVL 32, doesn't that make me busted?
3. Was it because I used analyze on a strong monster it leveled up, or did I use it on enough things for it to level up and it was random that it leveled up on Mom?
I will have to ask her later when her mouth isn't full of gator scales.
While we were walking we were attacked by a bunch of baboons, but the filolials killed them before my mom could act, probably to refill their superiority complex over my mom, but the monkeys were dumb, so my mom didn't look fazed by it.
"Here eat some meat so you can at least put up a fight against my son," she says, but I got a lot of strength because I technically kill stealed the water dragon, so I thought I was fine. The meat was good, but right now anything is good because I have only eaten flies in the last weak, and because I didn't kill it, I assume that's why Copy Entity Number didn't work.
I use this opportunity to analyze the filolials...
"Target: Stone Filolial LVL 21" "Target: Filolial LVL 26 (Elementless)" "Target: Filolial LVL 23 (Elementless)" "Target: Water Filolial LVL 18" "Target: Filolial LVL 16 (Elementless)" "Target: Adolescent Filolial LVL 12"
They are all around LVL 20 and the Elementless ones are the fat ones, I guess that means more strength.
The adolescent one I was most curious about. It looked like it was almost an adult because it almost showed no sign of yellow feathers, or am I just assuming that because I still have yellow feathers as a baby, I don't know. It's feathers were green all the way around except for the stomach which was dark purple, so it is plant and poison element maybe? Neat.
It looks like the sun is nearly down, "we are almost near the village, but if we keep up this pace we will meet a behemoth before we get to the village," she says. Wait, a behemoth?
"Whats a behemoth," I ask. "A behemoth is a powerful animal demon that usually comes out after the sun goes down," she explains.
We all start hurrying. Seriously dragons in the day, behemoths at night, next flying monkeys will take us to a foreign land far far away.
We can't run because of the water dragon meat, but we are going pretty fast, then I was stunned by a close, loud, and pig-like grunt. It is a boar about half the size of the trees, charging at us.
"Behemoth," the filolial yelled, when she meant animal demon, does she mean any animal, that made me think of the possibility of having to be on guard for any animal to be strong, it made me wonder where I am in the food chain, my guess was low.
It's running towards the gator, that makes sense, it's probably is attracted to the smell it has.
Mom barely deflects it towards the right... wait I'm on her right. It charges me, and I go flying, and I black out.
I wake up and can't see anything...
"Skill Acquired: Night Vision LVL 1"
Well that's neat, but doesn't help much at LVL 1.
My eye's adjust and I find out that I'm surrounded by trees, nothing's changed much, except for the constant buzzing around my ears, wait what is that?
I see a fly/suvunktah about my size right next to me just buzzing. It was gross looking, disgusting to the point that I feel I nearly barfed out all of his brothers.
"Skill Acquired: Foul Resistance LVL 1"
Yeah, that's bad. I activate Mind Acceleration to protect myself, but then I heard...
"Idonotwanttokillyoupunybird,butifyouhelpmeIwillrewardyou,butifyouattackyouwilldie," said the fastest voice I have ever heard, in this world and the previous one.
"Mind Acceleration leveled up to LVL 4"
"Woah woah woah, I don't want to die, but can you slow down your speech and tell me who you are and where I am," I say as fast as I can.
"You have mind acceration, though it's low level, it means you can understand me, very well, I am the divine beast Suvunkilbub, and you are in a nameless forest near nothing."
That gave me some questions, "What's a divine beast."
"The strongest monster of it's species can become a divine beast. Now I have little time, will you hear my request or will you perish."
"Depends on the request, I am only a baby so I might not be that strong," I say this because it is powerful, but it might want revenge against something more powerful then me that is just to troublesome to deal with.
"No worries you are plenty powerful for your age, I just need you to move a couple rocks that are trapping my offspring in a cave, I would do it myself, however I am to tired to do so because I just finished laying them."
It sounded simple enough, but I would still be cautious, "Ok I will do it, better than dying, but what is the reward you said you will give me?
"A name and a powerful skill."
"A name?"
"Names hold power, beasts that have them are usually more troublesome than those who don't."
So it goes by that system, well getting it early is a good idea, "Ok, can you tell me where they are?"
"I will lead you to them, it is only four rocks, I could easily move them if I wasn't this tired."
We walk for about half a mile, we hid a couple times from behemoths, this place is so dangerous, I will have to get strong quick to survive in this place.
The cave is in the ground covered by four rocks just like she said, I decided it's a she because it layed eggs.
Also my night vision is LVL 2.
"Start moving the rocks."
"Quest Started" "Objective: Move rocks to let Suvunktah's out" "Rewards: 300 EXP, A Skill, Name, and 100% trust of Suvunkilbub"
So it gives me a quest, and I get 100% trust of a divine beast, it's that simple? Well only one way to find out.
I start and move the front two rocks easily, the other two are lodged together, I work at it for a while and they don't budge.
I get the idea to use crushing beak, I find a biteable part to latch on too, and pull, both rocks fly backwards, nearly running me over.
About tens of thousands suvunktah's rush out.
"You have completed the quest, I shall give you a suitable name and skill. I think Kwehzalcoatl will suit you nicely."
"Quest completed" "You gained the name Kwehzalcoatl, You have become LVL 7" "You have gained the Magic Armor LVL 1 skill" "Quest Completion recognized by Suvunktilbub Entity #58392198347832" "Will you activate Copy Entity Number LVL 1?"
I smiled bigger than I did when I kill stealed the gator and whispered, "yes."
"Activated Copy Entity Number LVL 1" "Gained 771 MP, Skill Recovery Magic LVL 1 "Copy Entity Number leveled up to LVL 2"
What!?!? 771 is 15% of her magic stat. I look at my feathers, they were nearly completely covered in red feathers with black on my chest and on the edges of my wings, I still have a baby body though.
"Thank you Kwehzalcoatl, you have allowed my children to escape without having to wait another week for me to regain energy. I will take one more request, you said you are lost, I will tell you where you the direction of anywhere you ask."
"Can you send me towards my mom?"
"Go southwest about 6 miles."
"Thank you, I won't forget this."
"You're welcome and you will always be welcomed by the suvunktah's."
I start walking and take this opportunity to check my status...
"Target:Wild Infant Chocobo LVL 7, Name: Kwehzalcoatl" "Title(s): Memory Keeper, Kill Stealer, Friend of the Suvunktah's" "Skills: Analysis LVL 2, Copy Entity Number LVL 2, Mind Acceleration LVL 4, Crushing beak LVL 1, Night Vision LVL 2, Foul resistance LVL 1, Magic Armor LVL 1, Recovery Magic LVL 1" "Stats: HP: 234, STR: 264, SPD: 260, VIT: 178, MP: 921, INT: 610"

----------------------------------------
MC's Mom's POV, Time: Just before her son goes flying
I see the Behemoth, it's low class. I can barely take its attacks by estimate.
I drop the Water Dragon and deflect the Behemoth... into my son... WAIT I hit it towards my son!!
My son goes flying farther than I can see
I try to chase after him, but I am blocked by the behemoth.
"Activating Racial Skill: Mothers Rampage"
I black out...
I wake up, my body aches all over and I see the filolials hanging around, we are in a hut, a filolial hut.
"Keep resting," the gray filolial suggests. I still try and get up, I have to see if my son is still alive.
"I said keep resting, after using that skill I wouldn't be surprised if you had died."
"Why, isn't a skill that increases physical strength to protect your child," I ask, that's all it said it was on the status, though it is weird it activated on its own.
This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
"Yes and no, it's a skill that increases your physical strength when your child is in danger, however it is meant to activate at a last resort, meaning that it can kill you if you can't suppress it, it is a sacrafice so your child can live on."
I didn't know that, well it doesn't matter now, I need to find out if my child is still alive.
"He is still alive."
I look at her in confusion, "what? How can you tell?"
"The sacred duel request is still activated, meaning he isn't dead."
That's a relief, now I just have to find him, "can you tell where he is?"
"No, but I can tell how far away he is, he is getting closer, slowly but surely, he also stopped a couple of times. You don't have to worry, all you have to do is stay here and he will come and find you."
"I can't do that, he could still die on the way here or lose his way. I will go and meet him there."
"Are you stupid, we don't know what direction he is in. He is on his way here somehow so we just need to wait here."
I get up and walk towards the door, she then says to her big subordinates, "get her down quickly," and then to me, "calm down your acting like a new parent." Two of the big ones pin me down and I snap in the moment, "I am a new parent, I've only had a kid for a week."
All of them stagger, "wait," "huuuuuh," "what the heck," "but he had so much magic, "how is this possible," the rest gawk, so they can talk, well I better take this chance.
"All of you, did I give you permission to talk, nevermind, hurry and get her before she escapes," she yells, but I am out the door, four filolials are standing guard, I dash past them, but before I get to far I start limping.
That took to much out of me after I used that skill. I rush some more and I see them running towards me, then they tackle me.
They could at least try to be gentler, their claws are digging into me while they are dragging me, no matter how much respect they have for the sacred duel, it looks like they still have prejudice against me.
I look towards the forest and see that it is morning and a dark red thing running towards us. What is that?
I look harder and see it is a baby chocobo, wait is it my son, no my son had even though it is unheard of to have it at his age, barely started magic storage, he looks like his is almost done, and anyway my son had red and black feathers, not just red. I look again, he had black on his chest, at the end of his wings, and on his head in the shape of a crown. I use analyze on him...
"Target: Kwehzalcoatl LVL 7" "Titles: Memory Keeper, Kill Stealer, Friend of the Suvunktah's"
I look at what these titles are and all my questions are answered, that's why he's so smart, well that's a relief, being a memory keeper is something to be celebrated, and he befriended the suvunktah divine beast, it explains why he would have a name. And the kicker of how I now know he's mine, he stole my water dragon kill so he has the kill steal title.
"I see my child, you can stop now," they look over to him and all gawk, I dash and get to my child quickly, they really need to stop gawking.
For a second we just stood watching each other, then he breaks the ice, "Mom, I've become stronger."
I suddenly knew what to do, Mother's intuition activated, "Yes, you have my child," I go down and start nuzzling him, "but for now, don't get too strong, a mother is meant to protect a child, not the otherway around, so please let me protect you for at least a little longer."
He smiled, "Sure mom."
