Chapter 04 - Lost and dazed Darkness. Pain. Nothing else could come into Therril's mind. A weak voice came into his mind. "Hello?" You there? C'mon wake up little one!" How ironic, for 2 days he searched for human life, now that he found someone, he is in this state. And now another is talking to him. Slowly he opens his eyes. He sees a weird guy in front of him. He has orange hair and has 3 weapons on him. seems like a swordfish on his right, a tuna on his left and a whale on his back. "Hey buddy, you ok?" Therril tried to reply but all he could make was a bird sound. Surprised he tried to stand up. Only to notice he has no arms. only wings? Therril started to panic. "Easy little guy, nothing is going to happen to you. I'm Chisagen, Chi for my friends." Completely confused Therril started to, well what seems to, running around and flapping with his wings. Chisagen being completely confused tries to take hold of the bird. "What is wrong birdy? Were you hurt? Why are you like that?" All of a sudden, Thorn came out of the shadows with a message around his neck. Chisagen being confused himself takes the message and reads it. Thorn just jumps back in the shadows to places unknown. The message read:"He is what was said in book 342. He might be useful, teach him what is needed." Well that didn't make any sense, thinks Therril. Chisagen looked very serious all of a sudden. The worried person going over to a serious calmness was aerie. Holding Therril very tightly he walked to what seemed to be his house. The house was extraordinary to say the least. When Therril saw Chisagen, he was already to be found weird for the fish equipped by him as if they were weapons. But the house seemed to be a giant fish as well, and inside of it was to be found, giant aquariums, even more fish hung up as if they were weapons. The only normal thing to be found there are a bed, a bookcase and a table with 2 stools.Chisagen puts Therril on the ground, and goes to his bookcase. Meanwhile, Therril started to look around, not that there was much to see but fish, fish and more fish. He sure likes fish by the looks of it. Therril still Didn't understand. Why is he a bird now, and what kind of bird? Therril looked at Chisagen, but he was too busy reading a book for noticing Therril. Since Therril had nothing better to do, he started to flap his wings. If he was a bird, the least he could was to be a bird and start flying. He flapped as hard as he could but to no avail. Suddenly Chisagen clapped his book shut, placed it away and sighed. "Man, I'm a fishmonger, how could I teach a bird. And he didn't even tell me your name, little one. So I will just call you Raven then since you are a raven." Said Chisagen with a smile. "Well then, better teach you how to fly Luckily there are flying fish as well so they should help in some way don't you think?" Therril, now called Raven had a bad feeling about this. And his feeling sure wasn't wrong. Days went past and though Raven was making progress, he sure wasn't happy about it. At first Chisagen just threw him away saying he had to flap his wings. After Therril almost drowned more times then he had feathers, or knocked himself out against trees more often then there were trees, Chisagen tried it differently. "Instead of flapping your wings, try to make your body wide, stretch those wings and tail feathers. If you can't fly, lets try floating." Easier said then done, but it was better then just randomly flapping those wings. Again, Chisagen threw Raven, and this time Raven did as Chisagen said. At first it didn't work, because Raven couldn't keep his balance. After a few tries it finaly worked. Raven was able to hold his balance and to slowly glide down on the ground. Both Chisagen and Raven were very excited. Since it had been a long painfull day, Chisagen decided to call it a day. After days of being a bird, Raven still found it difficult to sleep as a bird. For years he had been a human, sleeping in a bed, eating human food. Now he is a bird forced to sleep while intracting his legs somewhow, eating food that a Raven eats, yuk to raw meat, but alas, it could be worse. Suddenly, Chisagen broke the thoughts of Raven. "Hey Raven, you probably wonder what has been going on right?" Raven couldn't say anything but nod. "Well I cannot tell you everything for certain reasons I cannot tell either, but I can say this. You are a special one, with a destiny greater then you would dream. I have no idea how you bumped with True mortal,..." True mortal? So that was the name of the blue person that changed him into this form. "but it had to be faith. You my friend, have capabilities beyond the normal fighter you wanted to be. And it is up to me to and the whole clan to make sure that you can fullfill your destiny." This was all very weird for Raven. A clan? Destiny? Capabilities? Under normal circumstances, Raven would laugh with it. Clumsy as he is, and no abilities of a real fighter at all. No, he would say that they had the wrong person in front of him. "Well, good night Raven. Tomorrow is a new day. You will learn how to fly. As soon as you can, I will take you to meet the clan." This all got Raven very excited, and if he wasn't so tired of the excercises. He probably wouldn't fall asleep at all. A new day, a new time for bruises and broken bones. Or so would Raven think. But Chisagen had other plans. "Ok Raven today you will fly!" As if he didn't say that all the other days before, thought Raven. "This is what we will do today. First you float one or two more times. Just to get used to it, then we will try the steering, gliding and the landing. If that all works, we can try the flying again." And so it will be done. The whole day they practiced. The floating went perfect. The steering wasn't hard at all either. The landing on the other hand went very painfull. One time, Raven just fell down a cliff. If it weren't for Chisagen's flying fish, he would have been a pancake, AGAIN. Raven will be glad when he can fly. No more fallings for him then. When it started to grow dark, Raven finally was able to land. The only thing he still can't do was flying. Tomorrow he will do it. Tomorrow he will fly. He swore that on his life. And Therril, now Raven, always keeps his promises. Another day. But today, Raven was extra pumped up. Today he will fly no matter what. "Ok Raven, we can do everything exept flying. Today we will make it. I know it has been painfull the last few days but you got to hold out. Just remember what you can, but instead of stretching your wings, slowely let them catch air and push it all down in a heavy flap." Raven nodded and went for it. At first it was just like the first, the second and the days after it. but when dusk was about to fall, he did it. He caught the wind, threw it down and pushed himself up that way. He did it, Raven was so happy at that moment. He could fly like a real Raven. Chisagen was very happy as well. "Well buddy, seems like you did it. Now then, it is time you meet the clan. Oh wait I forgot to tell you. The clan exists out of 2 buildings. The main building, where our clan members are. And the side building where everyone is allowed. Meaning you cannot enter our main building yet. But I'm sure you will manage until you are accepted in the clan." Well that was a shocker for Raven. But he had patience. Just like he had when learning to fly. Following Chisagen closely, they went to the clan. The Beacons of Hope.
