《Land of Ilragorn》Chapter 7- My Family
Advertisement
We get to the nest and a big bird with dark feathers is sitting in my sleeping spot.
"Well how long have you been here."
He turns around and says with a dreamy look on his face, "Just got here."
If my suspicions are correct, that is my dad, and that makes me think of my old dad and how I used to prank him.
A plan slowly hatches (Pun not intended).
I lay down to hide behind a bush to look more innocent.
"That's a nice hiding spot red feathers."
I jump through the bushes and get a better look at him.
He looks like a completely normal chocobo like mom, but has all black feathers.
"Well lookie there, dual elements, strong ones too, gonna have to stay out of your way in the future."
We stay still for a couple minutes until it gets awkward.
"Well I thought it was obvious, but if you're gonna make me say it, I am your dad, and so I kinda expected, yu'no, a warm embrace."
I start running up to him, "That's the spirit."
I activate crushing beak and bite him, with little effect.
"Youch, what the hell do you think a warm embrace is."
"I have the fire element and I was holding you, but not with my wings."
"Good point, but why did you bite me, and why did it sorta hurt."
"First of all, you leave mom for three months with no words, we have nearly died so many times, second the only words you say too mom when you see her are, 'Just got here,' I wanted to leave here a long time ago, but she wouldn't leave until you got here."
"So you think you're Hot Stuff, anyway it's nice to meet you my son."
"Kwehzalcoatl."
"What?"
"He was named by Suvunkilbub, his name is Kwehzalcoatl."
"Now we add 'what' to the list, do you at least have a gift for mom?"
"UUGHHHHHHH, I have me, is that enough."
"Heck no, are you a deadbeat dad or what?"
"Heck? Deadbeat? What?"
"I don't like saying the other word, and yes you are a deadbeat."
Wait, why am I so angry, this isn't like me, It was supposed to be a funny prank, not an angry one, wait my thoughts are clouded, what's happening.
I look around me, my shadow's acting weird, it's connected to... My dads shadow.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"Our shadows are connected, and I'm not usually that angry, are you doing that?"
Our shadows disconnect, "Well, the little ember might have some potential, and yes I did do that, I used my skill to make you mad at me so you could tell me what I did wrong for you too have bitten me."
"Oh that was supposed to be a funny prank, but you ruined it."
He got flustered and mumbled, "that wasn't funny, that hurt."
"What?"
"Nothing, anyway you have a name, and it was given by the mute Suvunkilbub too, looks like you will have trouble in the future."

"She isn't mute."
"Huh, what are you talking about, I've seen her myself, she couldn't speak to anybody?"
"She has mind acceleration, she can barely slow her speaking down, you just can't comprehend her words."
"Then how did you hear her."
"I have mind acceleration."
He stood their for a solid minute trying to wrap his head around what I told him.
"Are they here."
Dad looks up and does a beaky smile, "Yeah let me call them, *Random assortment of bird noises.*
We wait five seconds, but nothing happens.
"Who were you talking about?"
"Just wait."
Five more seconds pass, and then bushes in a direction started rustling.
"Dragons," I start running towards my hiding bush.
"No, but they are probably as fast as dragons."
Then a human with long legs and very skimpy clothes jumps out of the bushes, "If you think you will get out punishment for running away this time you will be dissapointed."
It's a... Human girl? Wait what? That's my dads friend. Not more Chocobo's.
"Hmmmmm, a mother, wait you didn't ShadowStealer, you sly dog."
"ShadowStealer," I look at my dad, he looks proud of himself. I can't help but laugh, how lame.
"And you even got a kid, hey it's dual elemented, with shadow and... f-fire."
She started tearing up and looks at mom, "is that you FlashFlare, please tell me it's you."
Mom nods. The girl runs towards and hugs my mom, "Wahhh, why did you go flashfire, why did you not tell me first, wahhhh wahhhh."
I walk over to my dad, "You're in trouble right, you should probably run now."
He snaps out of a trance, "Yeah probably should, Rukra will take you too our camp, I'll go there firs-Ack." A big and very tan guy captures dad in a hug and chains him up.
"Not this time, ShadowStealer you will be chained up for a day now."
"That's too harsh Url, you should lower it."
"What's he saying Incha."
I didn't even see the other tall elf girl fully cloaked in a brown robe so you could just see her head close behind him, "Ummmm, he said you should lower your, ummmm punishment."
The elf really hit me with the fact that I'm in another world, they are practically the idols of fantasy.
"Really, hmmmm, I'll change it to one hour."
Too easy, dad winked. They started too walk off, but they looked back too see what their friend was doing.
"Hey what you doing with that mother chocobo Rukra?"
Rukra points at me, they look at me, they look at my dad, then they look at my mom.
The girl covers her mouth and the big one drops my dad, "Umph" and says, "that isn't... that can't be... we had already given up... why are you here."
He dropped to his knees and started bawling, "we thought you were dead."
The girl was just frozen and then she ran to my mom, crying.
"Hey kid, I mean Kwehzalcoatl, help me."

I think about it, "tell me, why are they crying, and why didn't they recognize mom at first?"
"Well, we kinda ran away together to hatch you in the wild and show you the world before they pampered you, and your mom changed feather color because of the mother race."
"What the heck, you would rather me and mom almost die rather then they pamper us and... what?"
"It was fine, your mom is strong for a fire chocobo, I knew she would protect you, it was also her idea."
"No, go back, mom's feathers turned pink because she is a mother?"
"Uh yeah, that's common sense, now get me out of this."
That was a new idea I never thought of, I guess there was a pink filolial that was also a mother, guess it's all mother then, whatever, right now I knew what I had to do, dad was pissing me off with every minute. "No."
"What?"
I got close to where I thought his ear was and whispered, "Nooooooo."
Then I noticed his shadow was moving, I quickly jumped back and kept my eye on his shadow.
"Come on, pretty please I'll get you dragon meat, I bet you never had that before."
"I have."
"What?"
"Mom killed one and we ate it."
"What about behemoths, I could get a couple for you."
"Mom already got some, what did you think we were gonna eat."
He hesitated for a entire minute with the bawling of the two long and one short legged humans in the background, "Damn't can't think of anything else."
While we are waiting I try to level up analyze in the order of dad, tan guy, long leg girl, then elf.
Target: Shadow Chocobo LVL 39 Target: Human LVL 35 (Long Legged Tribe) Target: Human LVL 26 (Long Legged Tribe) Target: Spirit Elf LVL 25 (Long Legged Tribe)
Most of this made sense, they are very tall, so I am really more surprised that their are tribes then them being apart of said tribe, but the Tan Guy didn't have long legs, don't get me wrong he was a massive 6'5, but that was more his frame than his legs, wonder what happened there.
I was just sitting there, occasionally dodging dads shadows, when I noticed something next to me in my mind acceleration mode, looks like distorted space.
"Dad, could you stop for a second."
'What? Don't talk so fast."
Shoot forgot about mind acceleration, I turn it off and repeat my sentence, then turn it back on to find the distortion.
I reach over to touch the distortion with my wing, I feel an invisible wall of... I don't know, air.
I try to find the end, it was very close, it looks like this thing is a small square.
I go around it a couple times and when I find nothing I decide to attack it, I use crushing beak to try to crush a corner of the box, it doesn't work.
I walk around it and then try to jump on top of it.
Success, it's only a little taller than dad and mom, dad looked surprised I jumped this high, then I saw that his shadow was almost where I was, then I make the bird version of the bleh face.
I start using my talons to try to rip the top open, didn't work, I try to find a opening in the box corners to stick my claw into, their is none.
I have no idea what this is, so I sit down on the edge legs dangling, and wait for everyone to notice I'm floating.
I look at mom, she is now looking at me and dad mouthing/beaking the words help me, because they are still hugging her crying.
Both me and dad look the other way and try to whistle, which was something I was good at in my original world, but now I found out it is much harder to do with a beak.
I decide to ask dad, because no one cares that I'm floating, "do you know what I'm sitting on dad."
"You can't see him? Oh that's why you panicked when he jumped on you, just show yourself Sholl."
Then a new robotic voice said, "Yes, forgive me for extending my joke too long master."
My first thought was Master? My second was oooooff. The box dissapeared and made me land on my rear end.
It wasn't a long fall, but it was enough to sting a little.
I look too see where the box was, and it was replaced by a completely white Chocobo, and I mean I'm not a bird furry, but she was a very pretty looking bird.
I use analyze on her too...
"Air Chocobo LVL 45." "Analyze LVL 4 leveled up to LVL 5 (Skill can now see titles).
What the heck, she is level 45, she must be way too strong, and they are still staring at me so I will test analyze LVL 5 later.
"Ummmm, hello."
She bows, well, leans down further than a chocobo usually does, "It's a pleasure to meet you master."
What's this master thing, "Uh, likewise, and what's calling me master about."
Dad goes next to my ear and whispers, "Her previous owner was a servant, she thinks everyone is a master because she was raised calling everyone master."
"It is as the incompetent master said."
"Incompetent."
"Yes, you are strong, but don't use your strength to help anyone, making you incompetent."
I laugh, then notice dad's out of his chains.
"Looks like you didn't need my help."
Dad looks at me with a beaky smile.
I look back at the white Chocobo to see a giant purple snake behind about to lunge.
"Look out!!!"
I activate mind acceleration and magic armor and jump and push her out of the way.
The snake chomped me.

The Hidden Myth Of Ji Dara
Firstly, I upload chapters at an astonishing frequency of about 7 – 14 Chapters weekly before going premium and 14 – 21 Chapters Weekly after going premium…
8 454Absolved.
Lonely protagonist in an equally lonely metal world. Lets follow the story of their steps. Hello, This piece is “Blame!” inspired, as you can decipher through the antonym title. The synopsis will be changed in time to come, as will the tags, to keep up the mystery of the world as I try to emulate the dread of "Blame!" into a written form.
8 221The Cosmic and the Fair
When magic comes crashing into the world, humans are swept away. When they come trickling back, they are changed. Many of them have been transformed into elves, dwarves, trolls... and now one succubus. Magic is wondrous, dangerous, and inextricably linked to all living things. But succubi have to take it from other people, and for a succubus dropped far away from any communities big enough to sustain her, that's a problem. Luckily for Persephone Evans, she's got help. She has a fancy unique class and a companion. But both gifts come with strings attached, and why did she have to teach the succubus on her shoulder what 'consent' means? This is my first story! Note: The prologue differs wildly in tone from the rest of the story. I'm playing it safe on the tags. I don't think the story really deserves the profanity or gore content warnings, but the main character does swear and get hurt. That said, the main character is a succubus. Sexual content is a given.
