"Who's laughing now bitch!!!" Brad dance on top of the dead body of the Eagle.
"Haha!! Suck it!" Brad felt that maybe there are other eagle in the area so he made quick work in bleedin the eagle out and putting it's blood on waterskins he brought with him. He poured the water out too from his canteen on the Eagle to erase it's scent, then he ffilled the canteen too with blood.
"Stupid bird, you really thought I was helpless ain't ya?" Brad felt the rock salt is enough for him to last a long time. This time he got about four waterskins of eagle blood, he doesn't know it's effects but what he discovered was what you gain after eating the beast were different and you'd only get some when the one you killed is a strong one.
He got enhanced eye sight when he ate a Terror Bird that was twice the size of the others, body strength from the wyvern, enhanced smelling from the coyote which helped me find truffles on my own, silky smooth hair when I killed that leader of the Elk herd and great jumping strength from a large rabbit I got.
Most of it could be easily received if you drink the blood that's why Brad had developed a habit of bringing extra water skins on a journey. He carried the Eagle back to his cave and it was not hard as the eagle was only around a hundred and twenty kilos. It's as big as three grown men but it's body is quite light. Brad was excited as he felt he could add another gem into his collection.
The golden pebble from the wyvern, the greyish pearl from the coyote, a pink one from the rabbit, green for the Terror Bird and blue from the Elks. Not sure what they were for but Brad felt he should keept his hidden incase it might be useful in the future.
Brad arived at the cave feeling he had gathered enough food for two years, now he must make tools to purify the rock salt so he could take the sodium chloride. Unbeknownst to Brad he had started something that would change the state of the whole forest.
[30 minutes later]
Back at the cliff side 5 km from the cave
a fifty meter tall Eagle perched on top of the cliff looking at the blood splatter that painted a small part of it, this was the Sky lord of this area and he had only been able to make a child after spending hundreds of years trying to mate with any female avian beast that suited his taste. And he was able to when he met a Hawk Sky lord that ruled an area far from here.
They were able to lay two eggs and each kept one to raise then agreed to never meet again as their meeting was just a business transaction. Beast lord like them tend to not care much about the deaths of other beast or their children but should they choose an heir then they would unconditionally raise the cub or chick with all attention they could give.
This particular Sky Lord was one of the most notorious of any Beast lords in the continent and was feared by many. It was due to his attitude of not liking any other flying beast other than his son to fly in the skies of his territory. Like the wyvern over half a year ago, which he blasted to pieces because it flew very near where his son plays at.
He knew this cliff side is where his son plays when he is not around to entertain him, and this time he left cause the wyvern was a close subject of the Dragon Sky Lord. He didn't apologize at all and even fought with the Dragon Sky Lord saying his subject put his son in danger. He felt only flying beast were the only one that could harm his son so he had killed or driven of any flying beast on his territory.
Yet coming home and this what greets him, a puddle of blood splashed on the playground of his son and no tracks or evidence of who did this deed. The Eagle Sky Lord looked at the trembling animals that shivered below the cliff side.
'Do any of you have an Idea who killed my son?' a mental wave spread from the Eagle Sky Lord as he demanded an answer for this crime.
*Awoo!
*Skwrak!
*Blee blee!!
*Moo!!
*Ahh ahh!!
*Grrr!
'So none of you know, then what use do you all have alive then?" The Sky Lord was about to flap it's wings and kill all of these useless cretins when a weak bleat sounded out.
*Blee..ee..blee!
'Hmm? My son was playing with you by the cliff, and then?'
*blee...ble
'He saw a new toy, a two legged creature? Which my son played with after you?
*Bleeee
'You say a two legged creature killed my son? What else do you know of?'
*ble..ee
'It had a weird fur but it felt like the creature was a dragon?'
'I see, so he sent one of his men here to kill my son when we battled. You really think I am afraid of you Dragon Sky Lord?
I'll show you why I am the fastest Sky Lord alive and make you regret your decisions!!
*Screeeech!!!!
Strong winds followed the exit of the Sky lord as the cliff side he left became a large painting of red as the animals besides the weak Takin were all brutally dismembered.
*blee..
[Inside the cave]
"I like big butts and I cannot lie~!..." Brad was singing merrily as he chops a young prince of the eagles into making deep fried eagle.
"Huh?" Brad stopped and paused his music to listen.
"Huh, I thought I heard something. Must be the wind" Brad played the music again.
"Ma anaconda don't! Ma anaconda don't!.." Brad kept singing as he thought of his future plans.
