The Silver Winged Eagle shot down the mountain at an incredible pace.Darwin saw a huge old tree growing on the side of the mountain. Its huge roots penetrated into the rocks of the mountain .The whole tree was enormous,the Silver Winged Eagle was the size of a truck but the tree didn't even shake when the beast landed on it. Lodged on one of the thick branches was the Silver Winged Eagle's nest .It screeched in a loud voice then threw Darwin or its "snack" into the nest ,then releasing a high pitched screech it flew off.He felt something hard poking his side ,he turned round . What he saw left him startled because the "nest" was filled with countlessdrued up white bones .Up ahead there was a half eaten magic beast
"Shit ...I have to think of something or else I will become bird food .He struggled up to his feet despite the pain ,he had recovered almost all of his energy during the long flight. He scanned the huge nest he was in,it was too long so climbing out wasn't an option thankfully there were some holes in the walls of the nest, After some minutes he found a larger hole but he couldn't fit in . He scurried around the pile of bones .
"Huh ..." he gave a triumphant smile as he withdrew a saber-like bone from the pile . He run to the hole .He slashed down .The materials were slashed away almost instantly.
'As expected of the bone of a magic beast 'he thought as he tucked the bone away and crawled out of the enlarged hole .
" Now how do I get out of here "he muttered in a low voice .The trunk of the tree was quite broad .It was possible for sixteen people to walk sode by side on it .
Darwin swallowed hard as he looked down ,from where he stood he couldn't even see the base of the mountain ,falling from such a height was akin to death .He ignored the gloomy thoughts as he climbed down the trunk. His plan was to reach the mountain at the other side at the same time he had to be on the lookout for the eagle ,right now he was filled with the desire to live ,even though his chances of surviving was almost non existent
He had climbed halfway when a cry echoed in his ear
"Shit " he got up and started running. There was no need to hide the Silver winged eagles had sharp eyes so there was no need to hide he had to make use of the little time he had .He had gotten to the slanted part of the tree so running on it was not hard .
"Screeeech" Darwin's instincts told him to duck .He threw himself on the ground ,two pincer-like claws missing him from a hair's breadth . He did a flip and started running again without taking a look back. He was formulating a new escape plan
He ignored the pain assaulting him the wind outside was freezing yet he still fought forwards. The eagle swooped down again ,Darwin again dodged with accurate timing. Despite being able to dodge two attacks from a slave level beast he didn't feel complacent he was a few steps from his goal .The roots of the huge plant had created caves inside the mountain as they penetrated the mountain. He could hide in such a cave then use his "godly "saber to dig his way out
It demanded energy but on the way out of the nest he had cut a chunk of the half eaten magic beast and using the vines and pieces of a huge leaf on the tree he tied it to his waist.
The beast gave a cry as it clawed down ferociously at Darwin.
''Shit" Darwin cursed as he jumped into one of the holes.
The Eagle beast gave a furious cry as it lost its "snack" .Darwin scanned the cave he was in .It wasn't the hole he had chosen in his plan,he could barely move in this one ,after a little struggle, he managed to pull out the Bone saber .The narrow walls of the cave gave no room for swinging.
Sighing in desperation he thrust the blade into the mud wall .
"Crumble..."The walls collapsed in an instant, Darwin's body fell forward from the momentum of the thrust .Darwin found himself falling from a height
"Turns out it is hollow in here" he had to do something or he would die .He was getting nearer to the ground
"Woosh" he stabbed the bone saber into the wall of the cave stopping his fall .
"Arrgh "the sudden jerk of his shoulder made him scream in pain ,his grip on the bone saber loosened as he landed on the ground. Fortunately the ground was closer so he wasn't hurt .
He had managed to avoid danger narrowly .He lay on the ground for a while then sat up .The mountain was a cave system made up of many caves and joined by tunnels.He got up and pulled out the bone saber from the walls .He untied the leaf pouch from his waist. The fragrant smell of magic beast flesh and blood spread through the catacombs.He sawed of a piece of the meat .He ignored the slight disgust in his heart and bit down .
He realized how hungry he was as in a moment he had finished the large piece he had cut. A cool sensation spread through his heart .The meat of a magic beast would still have magic energy in it even after it died .Eating the meat of magic beast was beneficial to both ordinary people and mages.After a minute he recovered most of his lost energy and some of his superficial wounds were gone leaving the deep and serious wounds. He rubbed his hands together, after packing up Darwin picked up faint noise coming from deeper into the catacombs.
Darwin sighed 'l really need to get out of here "
