GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



His feat of breaking the suppression of flight so quickly has drawn the attention of the arena spirit. It is not a good thing since it means things will start to get increasingly difficult for him from now on. It made him laugh. He doesn't know what purpose the warning was supposed to serve. Is it to scare him or to make him more careful? If the warning is for any of those two reasons then it has failed because he found it funny instead.

He shouted to the world, "Bring it on."

His loud voice echoed through the forest and scared some animals. Birds flew into the air in fright and small rodents hid in burrows. Every weak creature knew then that a predator is in their vicinity. So they ran for safety. His voice also informed the strong monsters in the vicinity of the presence of a strong foe. They will begin to converge on his location if they view him as a challenger.

The messages didn't end there.

*GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT*

(THE CHILD OF THE PLANE HAS COMPLETED THE FEAT OF BEING THE FIRST TO ACHIEVE FLIGHT IN ALL ARENAS)

His achievement was announced to everyone in the competition. The first one is for everyone in his arena and the second one is for everyone in all the arenas. Now participant knows that he has achieved a feat and they know what feat he achieved. 

He wasn't surprised by it because it was mentioned in the competition guidelines within the brand. No reason was stated for its purpose so he doesn't know why it was done. He shrugged and moved on.

First, he flew above the cover of the trees to know what kind of environment he is in. The trees are tall gigantic things with some reaching more than 100 meters but it didn't take more than a second to rise above them. 

The sight that welcomed him is breathtaking. It is a very large forest full of love and activity. He can only see trees as far as his eyes can see. He focused a little and saw the edge of the world. It has been made to look like more forests so it isn't obvious that is a wall. He looked around and saw a mountain.

"I'll go there."

He needs someplace to stay for the next year and the mountain will offer him a good view of the forest. The major reason why he chose it is that he can see a pillar of light at the top of the mountain and some monsters around it. Whatever is there is worthy of his attention since it is worth a feat.

The guidelines of the competition state that the final boss of this challenge will be at the top of the mountain. Whoever defeats it gets a feat. Whoever defeats it first in all the arenas gets two feats. The pillar of light is a beacon to draw in all would-be challengers to that last obstacle.

He began his journey to the mountain. He didn't go far before he faced some enemies. A flock of birds appeared in his path. They are giant black Ravens to be exact and they number in the thousands. They blocked his way like a dark cloud of dangerous creatures. They suddenly appeared in large numbers as if they were previously invisible.

He was flying above the trees when saw them appear. His eyes widened and he stopped. It isn't the fact that they suddenly appeared that worries him. It is not even their giant form that dwarfs his that worries him. It is all of that and the fact that he can't see the end of them. They are too much to count.

"Where to go now?" He wondered.

He was wondering which direction to take. The cloud of Raven is massive so it will take a long time to try and bypass them. The shortest distance is through them but he doubts that they will be reasonable and let him pass. What are the odds that they are civilized ravens that he can reason with?

It turns out that they are very unreasonable. He was still trying to decide what direction to go when the cloud flew straight at him. The way they screeched as if calling for blood hinted at their aim for him. The menace and the red tint in their dark soulless eyes made him realize that they might not be coming up to him for a chat. He decided the best course of action for himself.

He dove for the ground immediately. Their glistening metallic feathers and long, curved claws the length of his arms are not an encouraging sight. It made him determined to stay away from them. The birds had other ideas totally different from socializing. 

The giant ravens were not created in such large numbers and in such dangerous forms on a whim. Their mission is him and only him. They want to carve huge chunks out of him and feel the way his body will separate into pieces under the encouragement of their claws. So they pursued relentlessly and followed him down into the forest.

Soverick flew into the tree cover but he knows he isn't safe. He can still hear their screech and the sound of their body tearing through the air. He knows that they are close to him. His intuition warned him before he felt something fast enter the range of his divine sense. He managed to dodge a metallic projectile that flew past him revealing it to be a feather. The metallic feather struck a tree and sank into it without much difficulty. It was then that he heard the sharp whistling sound of something small and sharp passing through the air.contemporary romance

The tree exploded where it was struck. Then it began to fall. It didn't go down quietly. It roared unhappy because of the unjust treatment.

"That must not touch me." He said when he saw the damage to the tree.
