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.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzlxBaxDfj
“This…” still shaking his head and trying to get thoughts together, “This will not put me to sleep again right?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkB3KyGKPW
“Haha. After ye rouse yerself, we will quickly head to the Communal den.” Taking off his robes and changing to another.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj0iAXD0Fh
“What? Go to the den? But what about the princess and boy…”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFiiMWeanp
Lady Amarizk opens her eyes. A rare occurrence and a word that perks Escar’s crescent ears. “Princess?” Clarifying on the word,

“Pri—” and Peacock almost stumbled his tongue again, “AMERIE! She likes to call herself Princess sometimes. And, do we got that word thing okay?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTrMu9GFtH
“Effective. Ye need not worry. I will be staying by the entrance. Come out once ye are ready.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2VVYOZg44
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?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmir80oO18U
“Wait, wait, we need to wake up Amerie first.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gGZtesK6u
“Lady Amarizk can look after her, do not worry”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurCe4jy71L
“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.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuj2AVGnMy
“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.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K2D10bYoo
“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!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZrhp4kUwc
“So ye are…? Hm, no matter. I will suggest to the Mayfairy to speak with a Nautriarch. Let us walk.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeCoLYFjdn
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?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCVF8j9XB7
“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”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoRjdkTyoW
Peacock looks back up to Escar asking, “So do I just have to wait?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuGYOAiCMz
“Yes, then I will come back together with the giantess and the boy.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5CT17OI0v
“Uhm…nothing to keep in mind?”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAw5vvod4D
“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.
