52 Foundation (2/2)

'I'll fly under the clouds so I can spot civilisation and find out more about Kystra. I'm not going deep into their land so I doubt I'll find much but its better than nothing.'

Nero started planning as soon as he woke up, he kept thinking of the best ways to approach officials that knew the good stuff and etc as he chomped into the smoked chicken bird.

He had lost all of his large belongings, only being left with two 100g bars of ether, 5 golden Ruby, and his scythe. He was happy he chose to pick up his fanny pack, at least he had some kind of wealth to his name that he could use to gain more.

After refreshing himself, Nero used airsteps to gain altitude and once again set off.

About half an hour in, Nero encountered something of a dead-zone. Air stood at a complete standstill and the scene below was a devastating dry land, the shift between lush greenery and arid nothingness gave Nero eery vibes.

If it wasn't for the momentum his body carried, he would've for sure been in danger from the desert below...

Only forty minutes after his first encounter with a dead-zone, Nero came across yet another dead-zone, a much larger one this time.

Fortunately, he had been cautious enough to gain altitude so his momentum would carry him forward over any other dangerous zone, even one as big as this.

He had come quite close to the ground as he was finished gliding over the dead-zone, he had a relatively detailed view of what lay in the arid land below.

He'd noticed a few sharp bony protrusions from the ground, both large and small, that moved in and out of the sand, growing alert and more cautious as he imagined the underground creatures that were hidden from sight.

Immediately after crossing the dead-zone, he gained altitude with airsteps and, from the corner of his eye, saw a frightening scene.

A large hairy bird that was flying lower than him, started to shoot down into the desert. Running out of luck, he landed perfectly in a circle of protrusions.

Then, with a sudden rummage of noise, the bird's surroundings grew like a valley. It was too late for the bird to make a move as Valley growing around it was filled with bony protrusions and surge in from all directions.

Chomp.

All Nero saw was the bird being drowned in a sets of giant teeth, never to see the light of day again.

'It's a massive Earthworm! That was a rank 2 beast that bird... It lost its life before it even knew it, such is the nature of life.' Nero was lost in wonder at the display of such might!

'There will come one day when I hold such strength at my command, devolving those against me into what they could only call a horrifying nightmare!'
