22 Unique Lizard (1/2)

”Just wondering. Are the three lizards you own siblings?” Lachlan asked.

”Nope, I got them all at different times, it would be extremely unlikely for them to be related to one another,” explained Ryley.

”What's with the small lizard? Can it fight?” Asked Jack.

'No no no, you see this is Scan and he does exactly what his name implies. He's able to detect anything from an extremely far distance, through either using his hearing, smell and sight, all of which are advanced to the extreme,” Ryley said.

Alfredo walked up to Ryley and patted him on his shoulders, ”That's a fantastic ability! Can it do anything else?”

”Of course, just watch,” Said Ryley. He quickly picked up Scan and put him on his arm, ”Scan hide”.

The lizard completely vanished, it didn't just change its colour it erased its entire presence.

Ryley looked towards the arm that was just holding Scan, ”Okay, you can show yourself again”.

The lizard was there, completely fine and looked just like it did before it vanished.

”See, pretty cool right?” Ryley proudly said.

”Hahaha, indeed. It's such a fantastic little lizard,” Alfredo said as he placed his head closer to the lizard to inspect it more.

After everyone introduced themselves they all began to prepare for the trip, making themselves comfortable on the birds, putting on some sunscreen, a hat, and some sunglasses.

After 20 minutes everyone was finally prepared, the next stop was Glendambo, it certainly isn't going to be the place we stay the night. However, they will stop to rest for an hour, as although the birds have managed to slightly increase their endurance they still struggle with control.

*Screech*

The birds began to lift off, screeching happily as they did. They shot straight up, giving everyone and the viewpoint of a lifetime.

Lachlan and everyone else didn't expect to have the ability to fly to be such a useful ability. Although it limited Scan's detection as they were now high in the air, it wasn't like anything that was outside of Scan's range could hurt them.

They also got to see the world like they never could before. Although Lachlan and the original group had already experienced flying, that was over a wasteland. Now, however, they started to get closer to sources of water, vegetation was much more abundant.

Even though it was summer the vegetation was extremely vibrant, the evolved tree and bushes were enormous, just like when they exited Alice Springs the overgrowth had ruptured the roads.

They had finally reached Glendambo; the birds were exhausted and panting. They landed at the open space near the toilet, Lachlan had taken out some water bottles and begun to give the birds some water.

”Should we check to see if anyone's here?” Asked Jack.

”There isn't anyone here”.

Everyone turned towards the voice and realised it was Ryley, Alfredo walked up to him, ”How do you know that?”

”Because Scan can't detect anything within a 10km radius, and anything that can be detected is either too small or large to be human,” he explained.
