The Pakou distanced itself from the Burkurel Ju Clan's western settlent by a large extent, going around the Burkurel Ju Clan's northern settlent, followed by the western and northern settlent of Burkurel Ka Clan.
All the settlents were abandoned now, with the residents taking refugee within Burkurel City. As it was a large city, it had enough capacity to house them all in. Moreover, it was constructed for that purpose from the start, for the settlents didn't have enough Harmonisers to defend against any disasters.
When it was far away from the northern settlent of Burkurel Ka Clan, the Pakou landed on a stretch of adow that spanned after that. The mont it landed, Re'Kha jumped down and stretched her legs, having relaxed a little. In the short rest, she recovered a little bit of her stamina, at least enough to stand for so ti.
The Pakou used the toe on its right foreleg to write on the water collecting above ground, conversing with Re'Kha.
[What do you plan to do next?]
"Burkurel City would currently be sward by the beasts and even the Kalhas. So, it is not a wise choice to head there for the ti being. Besides, I don't know the extent of the sches the people that plotted against span. Unless I investigated them, stepping foot there will be suicide."
[What about your…mother?]
"She'll…" Re'Kha sighed, saddened by the fact, "She'll only think my death was a loss. By now, she might even be planning to have a fifth child. Father should still be in Bura Fort. He'll be saddened by the news; I'll secretly try to send him a ssage."
[That's…just like her.]
"What's the situation in your place?"
[Burmat City is in a chaotic state at the mont. All the five Clans are gearing up for war while internally, the successors are competing against one another.]
"Wait…successors?" Re'Kha stared in shock, "Aren't you the sole successor to the Burmat Re Clan? Where did these…successors co from?"
[10 days before you lost my eyes, I suffered an injury to my legs. I can no longer move them, and my talent as a Harmoniser is on the decline. So, the four heads in my Clan, apart from father, are slowly plotting to rise to power.]
"What?" Re'Kha was shocked, shivering in anger, "How dare they do that to you?"
[It's fine.]
The Pakou's tail patted her back as its neck rubbed against her cheek. The Pakou continued to write in the water, maintaining a level-headed response.
[I have a…Spirit Artifact. It has been with all along, but I only realised its existence after my injury. And, my talent as a Harmoniser hasn't decreased, but rather has increased. I am manually limiting the amount my Tikka Jewellery shows to put their guards down. Also, I should be able to heal myself by Peak Fire Month. Once I do that, I'll co for you.]
"So, that ans…" Re'Kha stamred in joy, "You have attained the legendary qualifications as a Harmoniser? Is that how your Pranic Avatar is this strong now?"
[No, It's a long story. I was tracking the clues to a Gold Pranic Essence for the past two years. After many difficulties, I finally obtained it and elevated my bloodline to Quadruple Foundation. In my joy, I let my guard down and was injured.]
"Who injured you?"
[Who else but Re'Kya. She had sched ticulously for that occasion, so much so that her conspiracy was perfect. Even the scouts the Clan secretly nurtured were unable to find any traces. She's a patient scher.]
Re'Kha turned silent, her brows scrunched. She was in thought, trying to link up the details underlying the sches the two of them had been pulled into when the Pakou's tail patted her head.
[What do you plan to do now? I'm monitored from all sides and cannot leave my Clan for the ti being. eting you openly would paint you as the target once again. It would take a lot of ti before I can use so excuse to leave Burmat City. Even if I try to fight my way out, I would be trapped easily.]
"Your Clan is too powerful. Even if you beco a Martial Master, fighting your way through the Burmat Re Clan is not possible." Re'Kha shook her head, sighing, "Don't worry about . My master taught so things, so even in my current state, I'm not entirely helpless."
She patted the Pakou's head, gazing into its eyes through the water flowing over it, "I'll live in Burfuna City for the ti being. It would be the safest place for now."
She patted the bag on the Pakou's bag, "There is more than enough money in it to last a couple of years. I'll live in hiding until then."
[But…your growth would stagnate in the anti. In two years, you could increase your Qi reserves by 6 units.]
"I'll be comprehending my elent until then. When I return to my Clan, I'll use the opportunity to head to Earth and farm as many Prana Stones as I can."
[That will depend on the type of Quest you obtain. It's not easy to find a high-rewarding Quest.]
The Pakou closed its eyes, sensing sothing as it craned its head, gazing at Re'Kha, "Grrr!"
[I won't pry into your secrets, but I hope whatever your master taught you can help you in this situation. When we et in person, tell more about him. I'm curious to know the person you acknowledged as your master.]
"About that…" Re'Kha hesitated for a mont, thinking if it would be a good idea to pull him into the ss. Finally, she shook her head, concluding that it would be better for the two of them to think and plan together instead of her butting heads alone.
"He was the one who saved from the Blinded Ghost," Re'Kha felt sadness and anger wash over her as she thought of her master, "He saved and healed back to health. But, he was already on the verge of dying by then."
"The chaos around Burkurel City is the result of his death."
