After receiving some more quests, I started flying towards West Forest hoping to find an evil Ent. As I neared the forest, I see some heavy rustling in the midst of the trees. I urged Blackie to descend for a closer look. As we approach the trees, I see a giant Ent massacring a group of Treants.
"Save those Treants!" I told Blackie, "Make sure not to accidentally burn them."
Blackie nodded his head in confirmation and flew towards the Tyrant Ent. As soon as the target is in range, Blackie breathed out a medium-sized black fireball. The fireball hit the Tyrant Ent, causing it to drop the Treants it was crushing with its vines.
Once the Tyrant Ent lost its hostages, I bombarded the giant tree monster with two fireballs mixed with the Flames of Wrath. The fireballs hit the roaring enemy and started burning quickly. The Ent tried to put out the flames but the flames would spread to its arms and other parts of its body. Minutes...that's how fast the burning went...pass and the Ent burned to ash. The nearby Treants thanked me for helping.
Before they left, I asked them some questions, "Why are the Treants attacking the Oakenlake Kingdom?"
"Oakenlake...?" One of the Treants pondered, "Oh you mean those Treants in the Vale. I heard they are being influenced by the dark forces...possibly even tricked to believing that the Oakenlake Kingdom is disrupting the Flow of Nature."
"What is the Flow of Nature?"
"It's the natural order of all living things created by Nature. The Treants in the Vale have been sensing disturbances in the Flow of Nature, and they seemed to have been tricked into thinking that the Elves over there had something to do with it."
"How can I sense the Flow of Nature?"
"That...is an innate skill of the Trees."
"Then, how does the Elves sense it?"
"The first Elves received the blessings from Nature Herself...and this ability has been passed down to pure Elves through birth ever since."
"Is it possible for me to get this blessing?"
"You can't get the original skill, but our Elder can pass a lesser version to you as a gift for saving us." The Treant replied as he led me to his Elder.
The Elder Treant thanked me immensely before agreeing to pass down the blessing/skill - Flow of Trees: senses the disturbances of Trees; this skill is a minor form of Flow of Nature in that it can only sense disturbances in the Trees but not other living beings created by Nature. I thanked the Elder for the skill and left. I decided its time to head northeast towards the North Mountains.

Minutes later....

With North Mountains in sight, I began to scan the surroundings for a Wyvern nest. Suddenly, at the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of flurry movements and fire. I turned around to look and...LUCKY! I see a Firebird fighting with a Wyvern. I urged Blackie towards the direction of the battle.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
When Blackie saw the Firebird, he seethed in anger, "That's my sister...."
"Kill or no?"
"Kill."
We flew towards the two fighting monsters. It was already too late when they realized our presences. I jumped off Blackie towards the wounded Wyvern as Blackie rammed into the Firebird. With my skinning knife drawn, I stabbed into the Wyvern's back. The Wyvern bucked in pain as it tried to throw me off. Using the knife embedded in its back, I stirred the Wyvern into its nest. As the Wyvern tried to stand, I plunged the knife once more into its back...this time it seems that the knife has pierced its heart as the Wyvern screamed and then keeled over dead. Pulling out the knife, I looked to see how Blackie is doing.
Blackie shrugged off the fire attacks from the Firebird as he bit into the Firebird's neck. Then, Blackie flew upwards in a straight line as fast as he could go. Reaching a high altitude in a matter of seconds, the force of the ascend added to the grip of the neck by Blackie caused the Firebird's neck to break. With its neck broken, the Firebird died. Once Blackie flew down towards the Wyvern's nest, I stored the dead Firebird and Wyvern. Then, I searched the nest...only to find some poor quality weapons, gold, and useless trinkets.
Afterwards, we flew a little bit north towards the giant beanstalk that connects to the Cloud Giants' land in the clouds.
..........
A few minutes later....
..........
Arriving at the beanstalk, I urged Blackie to follow the stalk as we ascended upwards. Upon arriving at the end, I spot a Cloud Giant farming in the distance. I sent a silent mental transmission to Blackie telling him that we will do a simple hit and run tactic. We will fly speedily towards the farmer and when we are in range, I'll blast him and his crops with a fire ball. As soon as the fireball hits, we leave immediately.
Blackie nodded his head in silent agreement. He quickly flew towards the farmer...100 meters left...90 meters...80...50...20...10 meters left. As soon as we approached the farmer, the Cloud Giant looked up to see what the noise was. I raised my hand and threw a bottle of alcohol on his head and then cast a fireball at him. The fire mixed with the alcohol spread quickly on the screaming Cloud Giant. The giant tried rolling on the ground to put out the fire, but it only served to spread the ever-burning fire to the crops. After a while, the giant burned to ash and the crops were destroyed. Satisfied, with this attack, we flew back and descended to the ground of the North Mountains. Then, we traveled back to Adventurer City to turn in the quests.
