The Valley in front of me looked less desolate, than the wilderness outside . I could see some trees growing . There were some patches of gra.s.s once in a while, and some common herbs were visible throughout the Valley . "This place is much different compared to the outside . I wonder what type of animals live here" I thought and moved forwards . The Avians used this place not only as their food supply, but also a place that meant future for Avians .
The rare herbs seemed very useful, and even if they couldn"t get that many of them to satisfy the whole swarm, it was still extraordinary amount . Of course, if what the female Avian said, was true . While I walked through the Valley, I noticed a lot of herbs growing around . These were the common type herbs and mostly not very useful to me . I decided to leave them by, and not collect them . At least for now .
Some more walking and exploring later, the view in front of me changed . I could now see an open area, which was surrounded by cliffs . That area, was much more green, compared to the Valley entrance . I could see some animals moving around in groups and living happily . "This view is amazing . To find something like this in the North, must be very hard . There are loads of trees, shrubs and whatnot around . There are animals, that are not rotting, and even herbs growing in abundance . Why is this place so different, compared to the rest of Northern Wilderness?" I thought .
There must"ve been a reason . Either they had a method to change this place, into the paradise of the North, or the location in itself, was special . I didn"t know which one it was . "The King of Avians said to me, that they had special methods to grow those herb and rear animals . That doesn"t mean, the place is not special as well" I thought .
I entered the open area of the Valley and encounter the first animal inside . It was some sort of bull or cow like creature, but it had 4 tails instead of one . It"s colour was also weird, it was pale orange… just like the set of clothes, I received . "So, that is how they got the colour then . No wonder they liked this colour . I mean, it"s their source of food . Fortunately, that Avian took the set for redying" I thought . Besides the colour and tails, it"s horns were also different than those of a bull . The horns were pointing towards the back of that creature, instead of the front . "It"s as if, the horns of that creature are just there as a fashion feature . They are useless as a weapon" I thought .
I approached the creature, which I decided to name Four Tailed Bull for now . The creature seemed startled but didn"t run away . It looked at me with some curiosity . I wondered if that creature could speak as well, I asked "How are you?" . I knew it was a stupid question but nevertheless, it was something . The Four Tailed Bull seemed confused but didn"t answer anything . "It can"t talk probably . Not every creature can anyway . Normal Corpse Dogs couldn"t talk, the only one that could, was their Leader" I thought .
I came close to the creature, that was about 1 . 5 size bigger than a bull, and looked at it . I wanted to study those creatures as well, in order to fill in my Beast Scriptures . The Four Tailed Bull stared at me but didn"t do anything . After a while, it came closer and smelled me . "Hmm, it seems to be friendly" . I reached out my hand on reflex to pat it on the head .
The Four Tailed Bull backed off and stared at me intensely . I said "I only wanted to pat your head, I meant no harm to you" . Although I said that, I had no idea if it could understand me . The bull stared at me for a while, it noticed that I did no suspicious moves and tried to get closer again . I extended my hand forwards this time . The bull came closer and sniffed my hand . I said "I told you, I mean no harm to you . I just want to learn more about you" .
The bull didn"t really care about my words and sniffed my hand for a while . It then lifted its head up and… smiled? This time, it was my turn to be confused . I had no idea what that Four Tailed Bull was on about . It was scared at first, then smiled . It didn"t make sense .
I tried to touch the bull and this time, it didn"t back off but got closer . Its hide felt quite rough, as I patted its head and neck . "Moooo!" the bull seemed pleased, it made the same sound that a bull would do .
"Weird animal . It must be some sort of Variant, from the bull family . Besides, this is North . Nothing is normal here" I thought to myself . I check the bull from all sides and didn"t notice anything out of ordinary . "It has four tails and weird skin colour, but other than that… it"s like any normal bull" I thought . I took out the Beast Scriptures and recorded the entry for the Four Tailed Bull inside . "I will have to ask for the name of that creature later . I don"t want to create more misunderstandings when talking with creatures here" I thought and closed the book .
I would have more chances to encounter those creatures again . I could always learn more, when that happened . I said "I"m off then, enjoy whatever you were doing" and moved towards the depths of the Valley . As I walked through a thin forest, admiring the views . I encountered another animal . It looked like a monkey, but it was red . It was also quite small and seemed very lazy . When it noticed me, it didn"t even try to run or do anything . Just laid there on the tree, staring at something .
I came closer to the tree and studied the monkey like creature . With a more detailed look, I noticed that, there was a 3rd eye on its forehead . It was closed at that moment but the eyelid was visible . "A monkey with 3 eyes? Who would have thought, such thing to be possible" I thought to myself and decided to call it Three Eyed Monkey . A name fitting its appearance . Of course that was only the provisional name, I would later ask Avians, about the real names of those creatures .
I entered all the details into my Beast Scriptures, then moved on . I soon encountered a small clearing in the forest . In the middle of that clearing, a lake… or rather, a pond . It was quite small, but it would be enough for the animals living here, to have a drink and stay hydrated . "I wonder, where does all this water come from? It could be underground stream or something like that… . But here, in the North?" I thought .
I got closer to the pond and had a look . I hoped to see some fishes inside, but I didn"t see any . The pond itself was quite deep . I placed my left hand inside and noticed that the temperature, was quite low . "There is no sun, so the water has no way of warming up . This begs the question, how did all these plants grow?" I thought . This didn"t seem to make sense . There was no sun in the sky, but the trees, shrubs and even herbs grew . The temperature was always the same, except when wind blew from time to time, then it got colder .
"The sun must still be there in the skies . Although the clouds cover the whole North, it"s not dark in here . Maybe that is why the plants could grow" I thought . Before I could move on and explore more of that Valley, I noticed some movements inside the pond .
"Hmmm? Is something there after all?" I thought and focused on the pond . I saw no movements again, but I was sure that something moved inside . "I"m not delusional, as far as I"m aware . I have loads of patience, we will wait and see, what is inside there" I thought and sat down .The Valley in front of me looked less desolate, than the wilderness outside .
