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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E3u2MivdD
“This…” still shaking his head and trying to get thoughts together, “This will not put me to sleep again right?”

“Haha. After ye rouse yerself, we will quickly head to the Communal den.” Taking off his robes and changing to another.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnFzfT5pk4
“What? Go to the den? But what about the princess and boy…”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RZEhMHzvB
Lady Amarizk opens her eyes. A rare occurrence and a word that perks Escar’s crescent ears. “Princess?” Clarifying on the word,
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCjjxeNJlp
“Pri—” and Peacock almost stumbled his tongue again, “AMERIE! She likes to call herself Princess sometimes. And, do we got that word thing okay?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAFz1LknW
“Effective. Ye need not worry. I will be staying by the entrance. Come out once ye are ready.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJH8j9sVku
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?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCXwkqrThd
“Wait, wait, we need to wake up Amerie first.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe3JlVa8Eu
“Lady Amarizk can look after her, do not worry”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Wp4jHJCF
“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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T6qPN6Xaj
“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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQNfo41Q35
“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!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1lkOUgIoQ
“So ye are…? Hm, no matter. I will suggest to the Mayfairy to speak with a Nautriarch. Let us walk.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbgyjuGmjT
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?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uRUpPCTnp
“A simple aura banded to yer soul. It helps me and my siblings to recognize you as kin and someone not a threat.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95UOdHHRri
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”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WBANU9uLV
Peacock looks back up to Escar asking, “So do I just have to wait?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZaQGCYCQD
“Yes, then I will come back together with the giantess and the boy.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu6vrdMCcP
“Uhm…nothing to keep in mind?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8bWACfMjV
“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.
