Vol 3 Chapter 8 (2/2)
Oddball watched with its big eyes as the arrows carouith its scrawny legs, and took off like a bolt of lightning
Its wings beat with unrivaled speedBut to Oddball, everything see slow as a snail
It reached the first arrow and kicked it with just enough force to change its trajectoryThe arrow had been headed right for the girl’s backOddball slipped passed the second arrow, then used its duck-like bill to strike the thirdThat one threatened the girl as well
An explosion of golden light erupted fro featherThe bird dashed passed the re by and then sinking into their leader’s bodyHalf a blink later the tiny bird burst out of his back
Three lives were unceremoniously ended by the little critterIt’d slowed fros franticallyFour pluersEach one caught a distant thug right between the eyebrows as they struggled to reload their crossbows
Autule herself out of the bedsheet

She looked around in speechless confusionHalf a dozen arroere scattered around her in a circleThen, froht a flash of yellow and another hoodluround like a sack of potatoesIt all happened far too fast for her to see clearly
The bird moved even faster than a bullet! What kind of creature was this? Certainly no typical bird, that was for sure!
The several thugs left decided this wasn’t worth dying forThey thren their weapons and high-tailed it toward the safety of back alleys
Autumn had never seen a creature like thisShe was just as terrified as the thugs, and was preparing to flee herself when the bird appeared right in front of herIt gave her a gentle peck, which earned a terrified yelp froirlShe covered her face and scraainst the back of her head until Autuet her to followShe sahat the bird could do to soft human flesh, and with no alternative she picked up the parcel of eboncrys and followed it
Huh? The variety shop? Autu before the familiar doorwayIt was closed, but just as she was considering whether toopen, apparently under its oer, and a lazy voice called out to her from inside“Come on in!”
The little yellow bird entered without hesitation
Autuh with far more cautionThe store’s interior was dira e rattan chair, rocking back and forthHe looked perfectly at easeThe little bird went right to hihted on his left hand, where it pecked at a pellet of food
Did this strange creature belong to the store’s owner? Autu to catch on
“You saved me,” she said, half in a trance
“You’re not as stupid as you look” Cloudhawk stopped rocking and looked over the girl’s face, absent the veilHe’d seen any nuot enough in that parcel to buy half of this townYou’re obviously an easy target, but you made no attempt to hide your wealthI honestly don’t kno you even made it here alive”
Autumn’s face burned with embarrassment“I’m sorry for the troubleI can compensate you”
“And how exactly do you plan to ‘compensate’ me?”
“I…”
He interrupted her aard silence with a laugh“You’ve already delivered the stones right to me, so think carefully”
Autuhtened steps backwardBut a glance at the yellow bird and she knew there was nowhere to run, it justman, but if he raised a bird like that there was definitely more to him than as on the surface
Herup her courage, Autumn pled her case“If you…If you could help me, there are many more crystals where these cairl’s backstoryShe was about as bright as pile of rocks and weak as a child, but she definitely hadhim much more eboncrysMaybe her family came from a place where it was made
Luckily for her, ued him“What do you need done?”
“I want to hire you to bring hMy tribe’s ancestral treasure is there soive me the equipment I ordered, and take me back to my peopleIf you do that you’ll have as much eboncrys as you wantYou have my word!”
“Tribe?” Cloudhaas curious“Is your tribe out in the wastelands?”
No one froroup a ‘tribe’ None of theirl had to be from some isolated wasteland settlement somewhere, a place she’d probably never left before nowThat would explain why she altzing around like an idiotMost importantly, it seemed like wherever she came from was also where eboncrys was made
But that was hardly information that ise to share!
If his suspicions were true and word got out, things would turn froirlIt wasn’t just wastelanders, elysians would be scra over one another for information about where she came fromShe was the key to an incredibly valuable prize!
