Limits.

The King of Avians motioned to some of the Avians and said to me "We will take you to the top of the cliff . You want to know what is inside, we will show you but then, you will explain to me what is your plan" . I nodded my head and the Avians lifted off . One of the Avians grabbed me and carried me with them .

I was surprised that the talons, made no damage to my body, I guessed that they could control their strength very well . What followed next was extraordinary . The Avian carrying me, flew up high and headed for the cliffs . "This view… is so incredible! I hope he doesn"t drop me though . We are quite far away from the earth" I thought . As a human, I was not used to such heights, I was scared but also excited at the same time .

Flying, was always something humans dreamed of but could never achieve . "No wonder so many people admire birds . How nice would it be, if I could fly like this?" I thought . I looked to my left and right and searched for stuff, I wouldn"t be able have that kind of view very often, so I wanted to use it to the fullest .

In the distance, further to the north . I noticed great clouds that looked like fog or mist . It didn"t seem to be the usual fog or mist, those could be thunder clouds . I decided to ask the Avian who was carrying me . "What is over there? That large mist or fog?" . The Avian looked in the direction, I showed with my hand and said "This place is called Land of Mirages . It"s very dangerous, that mist is not normal . This thing creates illusions when one enters or even goes near it . I never heard of anyone coming out of this place alive, or dead either . Things simply disappear over there" .

"What an interesting place! I"m not about to go there but I wonder, why is that mist there in the first place . Something must be causing it" I thought . When I looked to the south, I thought I would be able to see the border line between the North and the Great Forest, but it wasn"t there . What replaced it, was something like a large city . I decided to ask about that as well .

"That in the south, is it a city?" . The Avian again looked in the direction, I pointed to and said "Yes, that is a city . It"s quite big to be honest . The city is called Tremor and it isn"t something, you should visit . The creatures living in that place hate humans . They would kill you at the first sight . We sometimes make deals with them but rarely" .

"Good thing I didn"t go there first . It could get hot very quickly . I can imagine a whole city chasing after me… I would be dead pretty fast" I thought . The flight didn"t last very long, we landed at the top of one of the cliffs . The Avian carrying me, placed me gently on the ground and flew off, to join the swarm .

The King of Avians landed next to me with her bodyguards and said "Follow me . I will show you what is inside" . I followed after her to the edge of the cliff, that was facing the valley below . She said "Look down and tell me what you see" .

I took a looked and my expression froze from the shock . I said "Don"t tell me… are those animals . . healthy?" . She laughed lightly and said "Yes . We have our own way of breeding and sustaining those healthy animals as our food . This is the reason why the d.a.m.ned Corpse Dogs are trying to take over this place" . "It would make sense, the Corpse Dogs didn"t have much to eat in the wilderness . That type of large pool of healthy animals, was like water in the desert" I thought .

"I now know why the Corpse Dogs want to get inside or rather take over this place . But this is not all you have here . The dogs might be here for the livestock but how do you feed that livestock? Is my question" . She nodded and said "We managed to grow plants here . That is how we feed the animals . We can also eat those plants, so our diet is not based on meat alone" .

I was shocked even more . "Grow plants… here? In this wasteland?" I thought as my mouth went agape . The King of Avians saw that and laughed a bit again . She said "It is shocking, isn"t it? But it"s true . Although, I will not tell you how we do it and I won"t let you see the process either, but I can give you some herbs, after your part of the deal is done" .

I nodded and asked "What about skills . Can you teach me something?" . She replied "You are not an Avian . I don"t think we will be able to teach you anything" . I said "How about you show me some skills and whatnot . Maybe you have some training grounds here as well . I could always have a look and judge myself, if I can learn something or not" .

She didn"t seem to mind it and said "Sure, I don"t see why not . Now tell me, what is it that you want to do, in order to exterminate the d.a.m.ned dogs?" . I took out the Yellow Dust and asked "Do you know what this is?" . The King of Avians shook her head, dumbfounded . I sprinkled some of it on the ground, then took out a torch .

I lit up the torch and said "Watch" . I then touched the Yellow Dust with the torch and it went "Poof!" . The King of Avians didn"t seem to understand and asked "Is that your plan?" .

I said "You may not know that but this thing comes from the Den . There is enough of it there, to blow out that place couple of times . In simple terms, I want to blow them up completely . This might not kill all of them but a large majority for sure . The leader of Corpse Dogs will have to make a move after such loses . There are two options for it . The first option is to fight and the other to run away . Whichever it chooses, your problems will be over with" .

The Avians seemed to realise what my plan was . The King of Avians said "That is a clever idea but how will you do it?" . I said "This is where you come in . I need a distraction . I need you to attack 3 or 4 entrances while I slip in, to the Entrance No . 2" and took out the map with all the entrances .

I continued "I don"t need you to risk your lives but attract attention, so that the Entrance No . 2 is less guarded . There is also another thing I will need" . She asked "What is that?" to which I replied "Transport . I need one of you to pick me up from there . When I start it up, I might not be able to get far away in time . I need someone to wait for me at the Entrance No . 2" .

The King of Avians thought about it for a while and said "We can do that . When do you want to start?" . I said "There are about 4000 of them . Let me grind them down a bit . I want them to be on high alert, so that they send reinforcements when the time is right . Then I will blow them up" . She nodded her head and said "Just come back to the original spot, when you are ready" . I nodded my head and said "Alright, I will be back in a while" . The King of Avians motioned with her wing and the Avian that carried me up the cliff, flew over . "Time to cause some damage" I thought .The King of Avians motioned to some of the Avians and said to me We will take you to the top of the cliff . You want to know what is inside, we will show you but then, you will explain to me what is your plan . I nodded my head and the Avians lifted off .
