Grim flew at the goat faster than before. The goat used [stink wave] again but this time a larger blast was emitted, and it wasn't dissipating either. The musk acting as a make shift shield. Flying over the cloud of musk that surrounded the goat, Grim's eyes shone like jewels and so did it's little beak.
Grim felt an energy traveling from his partner that bolstered the white light he was emitting.
The goat inside of it's cloud of musk, attacked with [air blade] a few times. Grim dodged easily and once the light on it's beak grew larger, he let out a large caw.
Speeding towards the cloud barrier, Grim's beak elongated and a beam of energy pierced the cloud, hitting the goat in the chest. Just like his mother he used [piercing ray].
Grim looked at his enemy flying outside the cloud of musk it created and quickly swooped at the fallen enemy. The goat still moaned and licked itself even in it's weak and blooded state.
The goat was trying to use it's tongue to defend itself, but it could no longer keep up with Grim. Grim cut the goat's throat with a [claw swipe] and looked at it's fallen foe. The little bird was starting to grow a bit stronger.
Both fights had ended. Ash could still feel the energy that was flowing through their link and closed his eyes to focus on it. It was rapidly disappearing but he could feel something from this energy. Channeling the last of this energy into his arms, Ash could feel it healing a bit more, he would have to experiment with this again.
The duo were injured, Ash decided to harvest the goats and quickly return to the little camp he made. Ash used a set of small tools to harvest the skin, the organs, and meat. In one of the beasts was a beast core which was a valuable asset. Grim did not align with any of the elements the beast had and could not have the core.
Ash finished as fast as he could and then had grim carry his pack. Grim was doing a bit better than him and his arm was pretty messed up.
Taking out a vial of blue powder from the pack, he mixed it with some of the goat's saliva and spread it in the area. Their scent would be covered, even if there was left over blood they spilled.
Ash used the skin from the beasts to hold the organs and meat. He took out two shabby looking talisman and slapped it on both bags to preserve the freshness and hide the scent. It was a preservation/concealment talisman he bought from Kaz's father.
Most tamers had containers that were made with special materials and used runes to help preserve the items they find. A storage ring would be great but Ash didn't have the financial background.
He was partially at fault because his father had told him to plan everything to pack a week in advance... but didn't. Him even having enough pills was due to his mother handing more to him before he left.
Hobbling back to their camp, the two went inside the hut and nearly collapsed. Ash fed Grim one of the few healing pills he had left, afterwards he cleaned his arm.
Next he wrapped his arm. Ash felt a tug on their link and turned to Grim. The little bird expressed contentment, and approval of his strength. Ash smiled and rubbed the bird with his left arm as Grim gave him a side eye for it.
