Chapter 10: Let Them See

After being carried through the air for several minutes, my paralysis was almost completely healed. I still had some numbness around my limbs, but my sense of feeling was gradually coming back. The only thing that hadn't made a complete recovery were the ribs that punctured out of my skin, but that was only due to the fact that I hadn't bothered, to either completely severe or shove them back into my body.

Right now my biggest trouble was keeping myself limp and unmoving, I was afraid that one muscle twitch would alert the bird that I was still alive, and while my slight body weight, was keeping the bird from rising too tremendously high into the sky, the elevation was still high enough to put me back at square one.

The last thing I needed was to be dropped again, at that time I probably would die.

Being flown away by the bird, I relaxed every muscle in my body and let the animal support my entire weight.

When the bird would sway to the side, I would allowed my legs to sway in the position most naturally appropriate. I was hoping the bird would use up as much energy as possible carrying me. Any amount of exhaustion would help me kill the bird in a more efficient manner later.

Of course while the bird was wasting energy flying, I still hoped we would arrive at its home soon....

Since the beginning of the flight we had been traveling for fifteen minutes and I had begun to lose my confidence in navigating my way back to the ruins.

On my way back I wouldn't be flying through the sky, but instead walking down in the forest below, I wondered how It was possible to navigate through it without a birds eye view, also seeing how climbing tree's worked out for me the first time, I wasn't too willing to give it another shot anytime soon.

As both the unaware bird and I continued to fly forward. I soon found my worries validated. We had already been flying for thirty minutes, and now the only thing I could rely on to return to the ruins, was a general direction.

On the trip I had already started doubting my plans several times, and wondering if I should just attack the bird while flying over a tall tree.

If I did that and succeeded I would at least have a better chance at finding my way home.

The only thing that was causing me to hesitate from taking that course of action, was the chance that I would fail, and in the case of failure it meant death.

I eventually decided to preserve. even if I had to remain lost for a long time, it was better to be alive and lost, than dead and eaten.

After patiently waiting another ten minutes, the bird and I exited the forest, and it started flying at a upward incline toward a couple of dark rocky mountains.

As we approached the cliff side of a mountain, I began to see more two headed birds flying through the sky. It seemed like these birds were the type to gather into a colony.

When I began to think, I may have to fight a giant group of these birds off. The stupid animal carrying me began to fly in an evasive manner towards the cliff, staying almost beyond the sights of the other birds.

The bird didn't want to share his food with other, it was quite laughable. It's selfish behavior was helping me out.

....

Not too long later we finally arrived within several meters of the mountain side. As we came this close I began see multiple caves dug into the side of the cliff. Picking up speed the bird flew straight into the mouth of one of the caves, and my scenery suddenly transitioned into the walls of a dark cave.

In the dark cave I saw my chance, the tight enclosed area of the cave would limit the birds ability to fly, and there was no more chance of being dropped from a steep elevation.

Before the bird got any further into the cave, I immediately broke its grip from my right shoulder, and grabbed the birds opposite leg with both arms pulling with all my might downwards.

Caaaww

The beast screamed out, losing it balance more from surprise, than the power of my body.

Crassssh

Both our bodies crashed into the ground, the bird tumbling a bit further into the cave than me. I staggered to my feet and immediately dived forward.

Shriiieeek

With a terrible shriek of rage, that reverberated inside the cave, I dove atop the birds body, and began to madly stab into its flesh.

shink shink shink

With my talons I rapidly dug into its body, dragging it across the floor, till both of the double heads were in front of me. I grab onto both necks before it could make any further sounds, and stared menacingly into both faces.

I let them see clearly, who it was that killed them. Then I clasped both my hands tightly, holding on as the body thrashed about wildly.
