After a little while of meditating with my new skill, I move on to working on the sleeping area and carve it in deeper making it a six by six hole in the 'large' tree that stood more than fifty feet high and had a trunk more than 10 feet thick. I've already gone a good way through it but it's not a big deal. The hallow turkey... not calling it a raven, had a cave that was just as deep just less wide. I also extended the height a bit so that it's got enough width for Ellie to stand inside. After dumping the butt load of wood into a pile I take the relatively larger chunks and start replacing some of the bone bits in her makeshift backpack with wood... Less smell... Granted the boar smell can't be left behind with the fact its rawhide is still the main component of the backpack... All the fleshy bits are placed inside but still. After that, I grabbed some of the extra hides and made a mat for the girl to sleep on. Not exactly a bed but comfier than a tree. After that I got distracted by a tugging sensation from the mist as I began to investigate it I saw a strange little fellow running about in my mist when I looked closely he looked like a little scale-less dragon with broken wings... Wait... That's a normal member of my race hmm... I wonder what it's doing. Quickly shrouding my wings in clouds I take off and follow the little thing leaving a little cloud behind that flew to the girl and is showing what I am currently seeing as best it can. I don't know how the girl reacted as I wasn't paying too much attention but there was a lot of motion at first before she calmed down and sat staring at the orb.
As I flew chasing the little guy on the ground I quickly caught up to him as my race isn't very fast on their feet... Or my previous race? I evolved can I be considered the same race? It doesn't even say blumest on my race bit anymore. Hmm... Weird. After reaching just above him I spot another blue figure in the distance farting up a storm as it traveled flapping my wings a bit higher I spot a trail of blue mist stretching towards a storm of it. After traveling for a bit I notice a peculiarity all the little blumest guys have a glowing metallic thing around their throats... Collars? Hmm, slave magic of some kind? Interesting. As I dart into the dome of mist I am rather visible as a green dot in a sea of blue but only up close luckily I am easily able to fly so nothing can get that close to me. After traveling a little while I spot humans. Leather armor with a symbol I can't quite make out dragging humans in chains as they order around a bunch of monsters with metal collars on their necks. Heading towards a large metal dome. As I got closer to the entrance I noticed what appeared to be a sea of skeletons standing upright guarding the front door as the people in leather dragged the people over they threw them forward onto an alter before a large skeleton lumbers forward and skewers them all on a big rusty lance before throwing their still dying corpses onto a big circle and as they slowly stopped moving their figures suddenly got thinner before standing once more and walking forward as they joined the sea of skeletons.
So necromancer army of some kind? Hmm interesting I'm not strong enough to deal with these guys. As I begin to take off towards the way I came I heard a screeching sound like metal being torn apart before the world went from blue to white as the light faded I saw the dome had been ripped open by a large claw of a pure white dragon twice the size of the dome where the sea of skeletons once was, was only burned ground and a sea of ash. Well then I'm twice as out of here... Nope nope nope. Quickly turning around I flew lower to the ground as I bolted back to our little treehouse.
When I got back Ellie was staring at the cloud orb in shock as it depicted her inside the orb along with the orb which depicts an even smaller version of her and the orb sadly that's where it stops as the orb isn't big enough and I am not able to control it to that level. With a quick in-breath, the whole orb disappeared as I slowly shifted my mist cover to be lower than the trees and reduced it to thirty feet rather than the almost sixty making the area in those thirty feet much more tightly packed with thick mist but still nowhere near the level of the cloud from the condensing skill. Shifting my focus back to the girl she has begun to panic and is running about doing something so I sit down and watch as she freaks out for a while before she eventually calms down and remembers I had to fly more than twenty minutes to reach that place and it was the blumest that discovered us so it's very likely that the dragon just eliminated a threat to us. Lucky us? Or maybe the big old light dragon was disgusted by the undead or the enslavement of a race that looks so similar to it. Granted... a ton of those blumest were in or near that sea of skeletons when it blasted them to nothingness so...
Well... A life as a slave can be worse than a death of freedom right? After she has calmed down she realizes the time and begins to climb the tree when gets up there she halts her steps and gaps staring at the change I made. Walking into the hole and laying on the bed she looks over at me as I walk over and cannonball onto her stomach "You have been busy today..."
After a short while night slowly fell and I filled the little cave with mist tidying up all the loose ends and shaking about the hanging wood bins.
