Nana, Neman and the rest of the people of the Gentle Cradle Tribe had their mouths agape as they saw what happened.

They stared at the headless corpse of something they have been calling Lord in awe and shock. This enormous bird had been terrorizing their tribe for years now but it didn't even live through a simple gesture from Raven. What happened to it was almost pitiful. Almost…

”H-how is that possible?”

”It can't be…”

”Am I dreaming?”

”It died…under a single wave of his hand. Is this real?”

Murmurs of disbelief echoed through the tribe members. They all looked at the corpse of the 'Little Bird' as Raven called it without really knowing what to do. Come to think of it, he just resolved the one of the biggest crises of the tribe in a single wave of his hand. He had helped them yet again without asking for anything in return.

”Waa! That's amazing Big Brother! How did you do that?” Nana exclaimed in his arms as she looked at him with shining eyes.

”Haha, it's nothing much. I just slapped it cause it's noisy.” Raven said as he pinched her cheeks, he then looked back at the tent and saw that her parents are already wide awake and staring at the scene in a confused manner.

Raven placed Nana down and said: ”Look, your parents are awake. Go to them.”

Nana swiftly turned around and exclaimed: ”Mama! Papa! You're awake!” She then ran towards them and gave them a hug.

Raven allowed the family to have a little reunion while he disposed the corpse of the little bird. Out of nowhere, someone who was wearing a full black clothes appeared before Raven.

Seeing him appear out of thin air scared the living daylights of the tribesmen, but when they saw that Raven seemed to know the newcomer, they decided to observe them instead.

The man gave him a salute and asked: ”Is everything alright here, Sir Raven? We saw a beast flying down in this direction.”

”It's all good.” Raven replied in the Kingdom's language. ”It's just some stray bird bullying these people, I already took care of it. How's everything on your side?”

”We are also doing fine, Sir. The Lair won't pose us a great problem, by the Chief's initial estimations, we should be able to wipe it off the map by sunrise.”

”Great.” Raven was glad to hear that, ”You may return, I'll keep you posted about my situation here. Convincing them shouldn't take me long.”

”Affirmative, Sir.” The Lair Hunter then disappeared like he wasn't even there in the first place, once again scaring the tribesmen with his act.

Raven turned around and explained himself to the tribe. ”Pardon that everyone. That's one of my comrades. He just came to tell me something important.”

Neman the Tribe Leader, stepped forward and asked: ”Are you really sure that you aren't God?”

Raven shivered and hurriedly said: ”Of course not, Tribe Leader. Like I said earlier, I am a human like you are.”

Suddenly, Nana and her parents walked forward and gave him a deep bow saying: ”Thank you for taking care of our child and curing us.”

Raven helped them up and said: ”It's nothing. I just did what I could that's all. Besides, I can't simply walk away after seeing her and your state so there's no need for this.”
