Grousing, Peacock grouses himself awake and hearing Isaac groaning in pain. “What happened…” He asks, shaking his head and feathers. Stumbling himself to get up and feeling the solid soils and purple grass against his talons. And he is back to being a bird again. The sun specking his face with sunspots and blinding twinkles in between the rustling withered leaves.

“Good morning Peacock.” Escar says, serving a bowl of white liquid, “Nautren milk for yer wake.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VnZgY8upe
“This…” still shaking his head and trying to get thoughts together, “This will not put me to sleep again right?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F7rUpCJsu
“Haha. After ye rouse yerself, we will quickly head to the Communal den.” Taking off his robes and changing to another.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLatmEH67mC
“What? Go to the den? But what about the princess and boy…”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUTipfDrTo
Lady Amarizk opens her eyes. A rare occurrence and a word that perks Escar’s crescent ears. “Princess?” Clarifying on the word,
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeWZ8D9LLV
“Pri—” and Peacock almost stumbled his tongue again, “AMERIE! She likes to call herself Princess sometimes. And, do we got that word thing okay?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZy1LP4qhO
“Effective. Ye need not worry. I will be staying by the entrance. Come out once ye are ready.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgXMZpyN5S
Well, he is not ready. Not until the giantess or the boy wakes up but they are grunting and seem to be struggling with something. The urn Nautren stares down at Amerie with wide eyes. And he thinks it is his fault that he they got busted already. Drinking the milky bowl of goodness to his brim, Peacock shakes himself awake once more. Shimmying his tail feathers and plucking out some louse under his wing before walking towards the exit and entrance of the fallen tree.

And just like he said, Escar is waiting for Peacock. “Are ye ready?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNB8iUlDnF
“Wait, wait, we need to wake up Amerie first.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w9FCUejUE
“Lady Amarizk can look after her, do not worry”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKJmOcTxna
“No. I have been thinking you know. If Alongadol is dead, we do not know who to go to next. I am only following Amerie.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKrdvsxBTD
“Yes, ye are just a pet as expected. But I need ye to go there now before Lady Amarizk word will dispel and ye will have to go through the same ordeal again.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEqKaOBWYl
“What!?” Annoyance in his beak, clicking his tongue, “I do not want that. Why did I even wake up first? And I am not just a pet!”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLTaMWZRq2
“So ye are…? Hm, no matter. I will suggest to the Mayfairy to speak with a Nautriarch. Let us walk.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlF1J1uaS9
There is no getting out of this. Walking through the path of fallen logs and lazy creaks they passed yesterday. He can escape and fly, that means wasting his time again for that sleep thing just to get this word. “What is this word?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG93eobk6gv
“A simple aura banded to yer soul. It helps me and my siblings to recognize you as kin and someone not a threat.”

An hour later and they arrive back at the Communal den. The guard is now an hourglass figured neck that is a hybrid of a rhino and T-rex. They sniff Peacock first before saying, “Ye may pass”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxBRLIdpD2
Peacock looks back up to Escar asking, “So do I just have to wait?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94VcohCEPg
“Yes, then I will come back together with the giantess and the boy.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1QR0QN1Py
“Uhm…nothing to keep in mind?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah4Rjq8uiB
“Hmm…do not mention of any royals. And do not play dead.” Escar leaves with Peacock going up the wooden sloped bridge leading to the center of the weird root branched giant tree.
