Limits.

Soon after I waved my arm, one of the Avians came down, and landed in front of me . She asked "Are you ready to go down the cliff?" . I said "Yes, but before you take me down there, can you answer some of my question?" . She nodded her head and said "I will answer, if I can" . I took out the herbs unknown to me, and showed her the first one, while asking "What is this herb called?" . It was the needle like herb, that I showed her first .

She said "This is Blood Reed . Do you want to know its effects as well?" I nodded my head and said "Please" . She continued "The Blood Reed can be used to recover blood loss but also improve your blood, if consumed in great quant.i.ties" . I asked a bit confused "Improve my blood?" . She said "Yes, your blood will be purer, that is a secondary effect and as I said, you will need to consume a lot of Blood Reeds, in order to purify your blood" . I didn"t know what purifying ones blood meant, so I asked "What happens, when I purify my blood?" .

She answered in a "as a matter of fact" manner . "Oh!, you will be able to break through your limits much easier" . I was confused again and asked "What limits?" . She shook her head and said "You really don"t know much . It depends, it can be your strength, your mind or soul . With pure blood, you will have it a bit easier to break through your strength limit . I guess that there are some benefits for the mind and soul as well" .

"I didn"t know that blood could be purified… I get the notion of a limit but… Wait! Didn"t I already experience that?" I thought, and decided to ask "Would breaking a limit of my strength, instantly increase it, to a whole new level?" . She nodded her head and said "Yes, that is what breaking through limits feels like . If it is strength, then you would feel a sudden increase in your muscle power, when you break the limit" .

"So that"s how it is . No wonder I"m stuck at my exercises and can"t progress . I must"ve hit the limit already . Now I have to break through it" I thought . In the beginning, I was sure that it would take a long time, for me to improve . I thought it was due to the training, becoming less and less effective . It turned out, that the training I usually did, might still have some effects, it"s just that I hit my limit and couldn"t develop further, without breaking it . This information in itself, was more useful than anything, I could"ve gotten from the Avians .

I showed her another herb and asked "And this, what is this?" . I showed her the mushroom like herb . She answered "This is Earth Grab . This is used to increase one"s strength . I must say that the King of Avians, really did reward you . We don"t get that many of those rare herbs to eat . Most of us get only one or two every so often . These herbs grow for a long time" . She then continued "This will allow your strength to increase by a bit . Of course, the more you eat, the more strength you gain . It will stop working after you consume a few of them . The best way to use that herb, is to eat it when breaking through the limit . At least, that is how we use it" .

I asked "Can you make medicine or rather more concentrated form of this herb? For example, add some herbs together to increase its effectiveness, cook it and then drink it?" . She shook her head and said "We have no such thing . We eat all of the herbs raw . As for the medicine or some sort of concoctions, we don"t make them . For medicine, we use grounded herbs that provide healing effects . There are loads of herbs in the valley below, you can have a look by yourself, and take any you like . The rare herbs, are in the safe place anyway" .

"This is good too, maybe I will be able to find some useful herbs down there . They don"t seem to possess great medical knowledge . This can work to my advantage" I thought . I then showed her another herb and asked "And what about this one?" . I showed her the green and soft herb . She said "This is Fletched Fruit . It improves the eyesight when eaten . You really got a lot from the King" . I showed her the last herb and asked "This is the last one, what is that?" . The last herb was the grey plum like herb .

She said "This is also quite rare herb, that we grow . It"s called Generating Fruit, and it affects the… well, reproducing organs . In simple terms, we eat it when we want to have more offsprings" . I was kind of stunned "Why the h.e.l.l, would I need that herb! I don"t even have a partner!" I thought . I was kind of dazed for a while, before I snapped out of it and said "I have only one more thing to ask about" . She said "Sure, go ahead" .

I asked "This set of clothes . Why is it that colour and what is that for?", and showed her the tubular piece of cloth, that was part of the set . She asked "You don"t like the colour? It looks nice" . I got a headache and thought "Of course I don"t like the colour, it"s s.h.i.t, to say the least" . I didn"t voice my thoughts and simply said "No, can it be changed?" .

She said "Sure, We don"t do clothes for humans really, or clothes in overall, but we know how to use dyes . That is how we got that colour . I wasn"t the one who created them, so I can ask for you, if the Avian responsible for making them, can change that colour for you" . I nodded my head and said "Please do" . She said "Alright, I will take them to the swarm later . As for the piece of cloth you pointed out, I don"t know . I will need to ask the Avian responsible for making it" .

I said "Alright . I will give you the set now" . She asked "What colour would you like?" . I thought about it for a while and said "Black" . She nodded he head and took the set of clothes . I wanted black colour, because Nick gave me black clothes . Although that set was not similar, I wanted to have at least the same colour, as what Nick gave to me . Black would also blend better, in dark or shady areas .

She asked "Can we go now?" . I said "Yep, I don"t have any other questions . We can go" . She lifted off a bit and grabbed me with her legs . We flew down the cliff, until we reached the ground . She said "Someone will bring you the set of clothes when it"s ready . Have fun exploring" . I nodded my head and said "Take care!" . She flew off and joined the swarm, while I turned towards the Valley, that seemed promising .Soon after I waved my arm, one of the Avians came down, and landed in front of me . She asked Are you ready to go down the cliff? . I said Yes, but before you take me down there, can you answer some of my question? . She nodded her head and said I will answer, if I can .
