The five of the scouting group had slept well. A deep and refreshing sleep gave the energy to enjoy life.

Yesterday's chaos seemed far away and Fi decided to take everything one step at a time. She put on another jumpsuit and to her surprise, it was tighter than before.

She had gained some muscle in this short time. Most of it must have come from the awakening of abilities, which steered some of the energy into her muscles, strengthening them.

Fi adored the reflection in the mirror. She was more toned and her behind was more pleasing. A light slap on it later, giggling she left the shelter.

By the recycling unit sat the four others. Robin was stretching and doing some vocal warm-ups.

Blue was cleaning her gun slowly, her gaze somewhere far away.

In Sawyer's hand was the Cracklefluffs teeth which he was examining in a great detail. Behind Sawyer stood Loa with one hand on Sawyer's shoulder.

Noticing Fi approaching Loa smiled and waved her big hand.

"Good Morning Fi, did you sleep well?" Loa said creakingly. She had a wider more stocky body.

Fi smiled back and took a plate of breakfast. Today they had cooked eggs which tasted wonderful.

"Did you find you these eggs Loa?" Fi asked with her mouth full. Loa scrunched her brows when the mass of white and yellow in Fi's mouth jumped around.

"Do not chew and speak please, it is not civilized," Loa said and shook her head.

"I found them fifteen kilometers west. There is a big fallen tree that is the nest for thousands of birds." Loa then continued with her creaky voice slowing down the further she spoke.

Octo was looking at Loa curiously with his tilted head. A sound akin to a humph escaped from Octo. It turned away and didn't face Loa.

Fi didn't pay any heed to the octopus on her shoulder and continued enjoying the eggs.

Breakfast was finished and everyone split into their respective mission groups. Fi with Loa, Blue with Robin and Sawyer alone, just like always.

Loa led them westwards towards the nest area of the birds. They were to gather a few eggs and see to see if it was possible to make this gathering of eggs a sustainable activity for a greater group of people.

After some traveling and training of skills, they arrived at the big fallen tree. The tree trunk was ten meters thick and close to a hundred in length, it was massive in stature and a hundred birds was a gross underestimation.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

There were at least thousands of different birds here. The only thing that worried Fi was since most of the things on the island were quite strong, something had to keep the stronger monsters from feeding on this place.

Fi took the lead and led them in caution forward, inch by inch. Loa pointed at a big rock with thick vegetation. Leading them to the rock Fi summoned the water from her water bottle having it having it spin around her hand.

Loa raised her eyebrows and whispered at Fi.

"Why aren't you storing the water in your inner crystal?" Loa said touching Fi on the right shoulder, right above the crystal.

Fi concentrated and the water in her hands slowly was absorbed. It moved through the crystalline structure in her body finding its way to the inner crystal. A small drop of water appeared inside of the crystal, she could feel its presence.

"That was great advice, thank you so much," Fi said bowing her head. She was relieved she didn't have to carry a dunk of water everywhere she went. This was more in line she wished it would work.

"No problem, sorry I didn't come to think of it earlier," Loa said her voice betraying no emotion. Loa sat on her knees peering over the bush. She was watching the tree and its inhabitants.

Fi grew silent and watched the tree too, recording every second of it.

They spent the rest of the day looking at it. The two of them had a few guesses as for how it thrived. One option, that there was something poisonous with the foliage growing on the tree trunk.

Another option, where the big hole they saw on the tree was the sleeping position for a bigger and stronger creature. With no clear idea what the danger here was, Fi decided not to take anything from the tree and hunt something on the way back.

The two arrived at the camp as the last ones and shared their findings. The map had been updated again and everything around them was becoming clearer.

Fi hugged Blue when she heard Blue had finally gained her powers too. Happiness on both their faces evident. The only problem was she didn't know what her powers were yet. They could only be found out if the right time presented itself.

She was a bit more powerful now overall with the help of k20 energy and could be more accurate with her shots. Their team was finally ready, with all five members having gained their powers.

It was time to venture to the Ice Tree and clear that place out from trouble. There had to some good materials there, maybe even something really rare. This was the time to take advantage of their early arrivals and gain as much power as they could.

The five went to sleep in their respective quickshelters and bid to go the first thing in the morning.

With an hour of yoga, Fi was completely relaxed and ready to drift away to the land of dreams.

The morning sun woke the group. Today everyone except Sawyer had eaten breakfast. He was the last to exit his shelter, a groggy expression on his face, eating a hearty breakfast.

Sawyer finished his food and spoke up.

"Are all five of us ready to go?" Sawyer said and hoisted his backpack on. The group nodded and took their own equipment. Robin was the only one startled.

"Five of us?" Robin asked with one eyebrow raised. The two women realized it too but thought he misspoke.

"I was sure there were five of us, I must still not have woken up," Sawyer said scratching his head. The four of them laughed and left for the tree of ice.
