Chapter - 6
Several hours later.....Morning.
Rex yawned and stretched as the sun shined into the cave.
'Ow! Ow! Ow! That wasn't the most comfortable sleep I've had....but at least, I can get up....Hmm...sun's shining into the cave....so I'm facing....east? Alright let's take stock of the situation.' (Rex)
Rex stood up and looked at around the 'cave'. He found no abnormalities.
"Okay! So far, so good. Now, I need to find a way out of this damned forest and into another town or city. If I remember correctly, there was a river nearby.....If I follow it, then I should be able to get out of the forest someway...But which direction should I go? I need an overall view...tree-climbing ought to do it." (Rex)
Rex first removed the spikes at the front of the cave and then proceeded to find a tree that was tall, safe and suitable for climbing. Fortunately for him, he found one right next to the rock wall. He proceeded to climb it. After some time, he found something intriguing.
"This tree is really too damn tall! This 'rock wall' is a huge cliff and yet this tree exceeds the height of it! Well, so do most of the other trees...." (Rex)
The rock wall, Rex discovered, was actually a cliff. While his current position did not exceed the height of the cliff, he surmised that he was, at most, 600 feet in the air. He estimated the cliff to be 1000 feet in height while the tree exceeded it by around 300 feet.
'This is really high....Speaking of....why didn't I just use Wind Mana to propel my body into the air....*sigh*....Anyway, I should get a little higher to get a better view...' (Rex)

Rex tried to climb a little higher. Once he reached a height of over 800-900 feet, he looked into the distance and scanned the horizon. He was looking for either a sign of civilization or someplace where the forest thinned.
"Bingo! Towards the east, about 15 miles from here, there's a large spire-like structure. If I walk in that direction without stopping, I can reach there by midnight, easy. But, If I use the trees and Wind Mana-!?" (Rex)
As he was pondering on what to do, Rex was startled by a pair of bright yellow eyes staring right at him. The eyes were right in front of him and he was so surprised that he lost his balance and hence, his footing. Therefore, Rex fell from a height of 900 feet.
"AAaahhh! Oof-!" (Rex)
As Rex fell, his traumatic experience now recurring, he suddenly landed on something soft. However, he could still feel and hear the winds rushing by him. Confused, Rex examined what he had landed on. He gasped in admiration and surprise.
"Holy Shi-! You are a really big eagle!" (Rex)
A large eagle, with a size that would rival that of a wyvern, had rescued Rex. It glided for some time before it found the cave that Rex had made earlier. Then, it made a rough landing, according to Rex anyway, and waited for him to get off. As Rex got off from the eagle's back, he noticed its bright yellow eyes, with a flickering golden radiance in them. For a second, both of their eyes met. Then Rex suddenly realized something.
"Ah! It was you! You startled me up there! You should be more careful, you stupid eagle! I could have DIED! Do you have any ide-" (Rex)
SKREE!
The eagle rudely interrupted Rex and flapped his wing. No, more like, it used its wing to slap Rex! Rex was stunned that the eagle knew how to slap.

"Oi! That hurt! Anyway.....thanks for saving my ass up there.....How did you learn to slap people? Did you live with people before you were in this forest?" (Rex)
SKREEE! SKREE!
The eagle nodded its head as if agreeing with him. Then, it did something that amazed Rex, it shrunk in size. Now, it seemed like a regular bald eagle.
"Woah! That's amazing! How did yo-!?" (Rex)
Before Rex could finish his statement, the eagle suddenly opened its beak and from it, a streak of yellow lightning emerged and struck Rex. Lightning being as fast as it is, Rex was unable to dodge and could only helplessly receive the 'attack'. However, when the lightning did strike, it neither hurt Rex nor blew him away, it paralyzed him completely. Rex was suddenly struck with an intense fear. He feared nothing more than being paralyzed again. The lose the ability to move? He would rather die than submit to such a fate!
'Move! MOVE! I won't be helpless again! MOVE!' (Rex)
Through sheer force of will, Rex managed to break free from the paralysis. The eagle cocked its head to one side and screeched loudly once before taking to the air and then landing in front of the now kneeling Rex. It looked Rex in the eye and then screeched once more.
*TING*
This Lightning Eagle wishes to become your companion.
Do you wish to form an Equals Bond with this beast?
Rex blinked in surprise. However, he didn't hesitate in saying yes. He reasoned that a Beast Companion would be incredibly useful. Also, he really seemed to click with this eagle.
*TING*

Otherwise, it shall leave you!
Good Luck!

"WOW! This is amazing! I wonder if others have got Beast Companions yet......? Well, it doesn't matter right now! I will name you...Laxavis!" (Rex)
SKREE!
