"Their feathers really are very blue. It is the sa exact color of a perfectly clear sky." Su was very impressed with the perfect color of the sky crows’ feathers. To her, they were a very pleasant and calm color.
"You know, they are kinda like clocks. They are blue in the day and black in the night. So we’ll always know what ti it is." Everyone turned to Gil with a slight glare, mostly because he was basically insulting them as they flew toward them and approached their group.
"We are here to see why you are encroaching on our territory. This is the place of the sky crow. You have not been invited!" The shout was a lot more than what they should have heard, it was the wind mana being used to pass the voice ahead much more loudly than normally.
"We are an envoy from the world. We co to et new races living within the wind elental plane. We studied so things about those that may live within the wind elental plane and heard about a race once a monster species that managed to co and survive here. We wish to see if you rember any of the history of your race adapting to the wind elental plane. To et those who may be able to visit the world and also join the Genesis alliance of peace and equality between all races. My na is Walker and my party is here to share knowledge and learn from you."
The announcent that Walker made was much more official sounding, however, Rey held up wind affinity herbs as well, showing that she intended to trade a few things. Everyone else knew that she was just excited to get her hands on a few other wind elental herbs too, but that was just how Rey was overall.
There was a small hesitation where one of the five who ca to stand before them flew off at much faster speeds. It made sense that they had to defer this decision to a leader of sorts. While waiting, Walker sensed the changes in the wind mana around. He also spotted a few endless sky serpents in the far off distance where so changes in wind mana were greater. Utilizing both the wind affinity small mapping orb and also the eternal codex, Walker was able to heighten and specify his mana senses.
He threw his senses further out toward the far off figures he could see and the shifting wind mana. He realized that it must be the place that the endless sky serpents must have originated from. That this was the small wind elental plane added to the greater wind elental plane he had heard about.
It was much closer than he’d realized it would be. The sky crows weren’t just in danger because this was a larger predator. They were in danger because this was easily within their territory already.
It did not sit well with him knowing that the entire party would be on edge while their bodies were stressed by the slightly changing amounts of wind mana right now. The added stress for anyone was not beneficial to ntality or physicality. That was besides the worry that they might have to protect the sky crow race mbers here.
There was no way that the entire party would do nothing if the sky crows’ ho was attacked before their eyes. They just weren’t those kinds of people.
After a few monts of waiting several more blue feather sky crow race mbers appeared. This ti a larger one with an additional set of wings on their back appeared. It seed that this one was older, but also that their status was higher due to the second set of wings.
It was seemingly similar to the angels. The stronger and higher brakes they were, the more pairs of wings they had and new titles. But that could be more unique to the angels. The ways that the sky crow race grew as they aged might just have them possessing a second set of wings naturally.
"I am one of the elders. You are outsiders uninvited, however, I see you bring goods to trade with us and did not push to our ho. You stopped and waited respectfully so we will allow you with a guard to co to trade. We may also discuss more." There was a clear tone of caution, but one of respect that showed they were only doing what was necessary for the safety of their people.
That was sothing the entire sorry accepted. They also did so for Genesis constantly. It already started them of as having like minds.
This could be a great start, and as the other sky crows ca to stand beside them, they didn’t appear to be judging the group whatsoever by their makeup. The multiple races and differences between them didn’t even seem to have any effect.
It made the party more comfortable as they noticed that the sky crows also didn’t carry much in terms of weaponry either. Their armor was also clearly light aning they prided speed mostly. Their ability in flight was most likely very high along with stealth while they flew. All things to at would be ideal for the world instead of here in the wind elental plane.
As they neared the village, not quite large enough to be a town or city, but enough to show the years spent growing it, the sorry found themselves very interested. They were amazed by the unique ways that wind affinity woods had been shaped to hold the forms of houses. To manage to protect from more vicious and cutting winds.
The wind would drift around them rather than hit the horns and cause damage. There were also wind elental tines used to ensure the safety of their people. Furthermore, there was a lot of colors matching that of the feathers.
"Those fabrics to have, one side is blue to match your feathers and another side is black when your feathers change color. This larger area covering your hos with fabric creates a place all of your people can hide. It’s very clever." Walker was genuinely impressed, he didn’t hide that he found the
Showing a lightly open baked face, the sky crow elder was showing their version of a smile. It seed the complint was more than what they had hoped to hear about their ho. "My younger sister is a master seamstress, if possible, I would love to purchase or trade so of your fabric so she can make robes with it."
"We can arrange that. It would bring the many who weave the silks of many monsters joy to what that even those living a distance away are enamored with their work." The elder didn’t give much away but was walking with more confidence showing pride for their people.
"I don’t see anyone with potions, do you not have alchemy here?" Naturally, Rey was looking for alchemy as she always did.
"Our last alchemist is unable to produce potions at higher amounts. Right now we rely on the excellent herbalists we know will always support our hos." There were many places that slled of herbs drying out. Or being preserved. It was easy to spot but the sll hadn’t drifted out of the village, aning so magic was involved.
The many wind related runes also pointed toward a larger focus on magic related to the wind. But the other states of the village pointed toward so struggle.
There were not many warriors or forces that would speak of food being gathered. It seed that so of the younger sky crows were actually fairly thin too. Even the elderly had their feathers damaged or falling here and there. Proof of less food and health currently.
"I believe we are here. We have seats for you. Please have your leader co inside." Walker took the lead while Su remained with the others. However, Alice walked with him staying right beside him softly humming a tune to help buff them against physical and magical damage.
She didn’t show hostility but she wanted to be ready for any dangers. The sky crows appeared to need help but if even the true wind sage struggled with them then they might show hostility. It was also clear that if they were in so form of struggle they might do what they need for their people to survive. That wasn’t anything to look down on them for. Any good leader would do so.
"Hello, welco to our village. Let us speak in depth." An older white feathered sky crow spoke out. The wind in the small hut reverberated showing the strength they possessed. They were certainly a powerful form of wind mage and the chief of the sky crow village. There were no doubts about that.
