On my way back, I decided to hunt so animals for their at. I chose the bull like creatures, as they had loads of at on them. I didn't want to exterminate them either, just enough food, for to last so ti. I found one group, that consisted of 6 such bulls and hunted them down. I gave them the quickest death possible. They seed to be friendly animals, but I still had to eat, therefore no animal was sacred.
These animals weighted quite a bit, at least 300 kilograms and mostly consisted of muscles. Of course the carcase weighted as well, but from those 6 bull like creatures, I managed to gather at least 600 kilogram of at. 'This should be enough. It should last at least few months. No wonder the Avians rear these animals. They have loads of at on them, not like wild wolves or bears, where there is loads of fat' I thought. Of course, Variants had much less fat, compared to the normal counterparts.
I placed the at inside the Storage Feather. Not only was it much easier to do so, compared to the bag. I only had to think about placing the at inside the feather, and all of it would be moved there. It would also weight half of its real weight. Around 300 kilograms, which was nothing to at this stage.
When I checked my hand, the lizard like tattoo was still on it. 'I wonder how it can achieve that?' I thought. The lizard was weird but I guessed, I was as well. 'I can't say, that I'm normal either. Coming from a village where my own grandfather, wanted to sacrifice . Or the fact that people there, were able to live over 100 years, and stay relatively young' I thought. I soon arrived at the entrance of the Valley. The swarm of Avians, was in the sa place as usual. 'I wonder when will my set of clothes co back modified' I thought and waved my hand at the swarm. My purpose of calling over an Avian this ti, was to enquire about the pond, as well as the nas of all those creatures, inside the Valley.
I soon saw a lone Avian flying towards . When the Avian landed, he said "I was waiting for you. So, you didn't like the colour of your clothes. What else don't you like about them, Huh?". This Avian seed to be a bit pissed. I asked "Are you perhaps the one who created them?". He responded "That I am. You know, I don't make clothes for humans, or clothes at all. You should be grateful, that I spend the ti to even make them".
'This explains, why he is pissed' I thought and said "I understand that, but at the sa ti, the colour of my clothes is quite important. If I stand out like a sore thumb, the enemy will be able to find very easily". I told a half lie. It was true that the colour was important for my camouflage, but it didn't change the fact, that the original colour was shit. The Avian seed to calm down and said "You know, I took your asurents and created these clothes. I don't know if you humans wear that kind of stuff or not, but what I tried to achieve, was the most protection".
I nodded my head and said "I'm grateful for that". The Avian seed like a talkative type and said "I added so modifications to it. Although it is still the sa design, it is much more refined now. The colour should be permanent, even if you try to wash them 1000 tis". I was a bit confused and asked "How did you achieve that?". The Avian beca quite prideful and said "My father is the only Formation Expert in the Swarm. I, as his son, am learning so formations from him. In the future, I will take over that position!".
'So that's how it is! He used so kind of formation, in order to modify the colour and make it permanent' I thought and asked, quite excited "Did you put any other formations on the clothes?". The Avian bead with pride and said "You bet! I placed a Hardening Formation, as well as Lightness Formation on it". I didn't know what these formations ant but from their descriptions, I could vaguely guess. The forr was probably strengthening defence, and the later probably had sothing to do with weight. I decided to ask anyway.
"What do those formations do exactly?". The Avian said "The Hardening Formation, as the na suggests, make the whole set much harder and tougher. Although I say that, it doesn't compromise the comfort. It's at least 2 tis tougher, than the leather without that formation. As for the Lightness Formation, it makes you feel lighter. So you can run faster and bare more weight! But not by much. I guess, only about 5-8% increase". 'Just as I suspected' I thought. Even though I already half guessed those effects, it was still nice to hear the proper explanations.
"That is great. You really did put in a lot of work. I'm really thankful". The Avian was very proud and basked in the mont. I asked "Then what about that tubular piece, that was part of the set? What is that for?". The Avian snapped out of it and said "I thought, you as a human, would know that". I was kind of confused but then the Avian continued "Its for your neck and face. It's a sort of a mask that covers half of your face and neck. This provides so protection, to otherwise unprotected areas".
'So that is the purpose of that piece. Actually, I kind of like the idea of it' I thought and said "That is quite nice. I have a few more questions, can you answer them as well?". The Avian nodded and said "Go ahead". I said "As you know, I'm not very knowledgeable about this place. I would like to ask about the creatures living here. Can you tell , what that bull like creature is called?".
The Avian seed confused and asked "Bull?". 'Right, they might not know what bull is' I thought and said "It's the creature with the pale orange skin colour. 4 tails and so on". He exclaid "Oh! That one! We call it Taurus. It's quite docile and we rear them for their at. They are quite tasty". 'So it is called Taurus. Good, one down, a few more to go' I thought and asked about another creature. "What about that monkey like creature?".
He said "This one we call Fla Ape. It has very weak affinity with fire. Although it can spew out so fire, it's not that dangerous. Those creatures are quite lazy, but they are here, in order to keep the pest under control". I was a bit confused and asked "What pests?". He said "The Grand Moths, that make ho in tree crowns. These things are good for the land in appropriate numbers, from what I know, but too many of them would be a problem. That is why these Fla Apes are still around here".
I asked "But then, why does that Fla Ape possess 3 eyes?". The Avian responded "I don't know. They always had them and those nas are what our predecessors called them. Maybe they can see better or sothing?". 'That third eye doesn't give rest. I feel like there is more to that' I thought and decided to investigate that later on.
There was only one last creature, I had to inquire about. "What about that creature with tentacles? They live in the pond not very far away from here. It can even more on the ground using those tentacles". The Avian beca confused and asked "Was there such a creature? I never saw one. I don't know what that creature is. I also don't know anything about a pond. Maybe others know, but I don't pay that much attention to those detail". 'This is weird. I know Avians can't swim, but to not be aware of such creature, in their own territory. Moreover, he doesn't even know about the existence of the pond. This is suspicious' I thought.
Then I rembered about that lizard, but decided not to ask about it. 'They aren't aware about those tentacle monsters, living inside that pond, or the pond itself. I doubt they would be aware of such lizard' I thought. With no further questions, I said "That is all then. Thanks again for everything. I will have so rest and explore this place a bit more". The Avian nodded his head and handed the enhanced set of clothes. He then said "Alright. I'm off then" and flew into the sky.
