Chapter 225: Ruffling Feathers

Sage walked into the room where hed stored the large cage. From his perspective it was only about ten feet wide, the objects inside seeming only a tenth of their normal size. He looked down into the cage at the small figure within. The Breach Hawk in human form was definitely an unusual sight. Technically, it had no features that were impossible for a human to have. There were no feathers or unusual animal parts present, but he still looked weird nonetheless.

As a man, the Breach Hawk was tall and lanky. He had wide shoulders and long arms, with thin spindly fingers. His nose was large, long, and hooked. His eyes were very large and carried a piercing gaze. His eyebrows and hair were bushy yet laid back like feathers. Everything completely human, but very much a hawks style. There were even a few streaks of blue hair at his temples, a bright contrast to the rest of it being sandy brown. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

When the birdman saw Sage walk in, it went wild. The seal appeared on its forehead and it smashed its body up against the cage. While it was unconscious he put some simple robes on it, but it was still barefoot. At this time, the bird attacked according to its instincts, flapping its arms around and hopping up to kick the cage wall. The seal flashing showed how loose it was and the Breach Hawks feet partially reverted, the five toes turning into three toes with large talons. The heel sprouted another toe and talon, the human feet quickly becoming those of a bird. Its translucent blue talons struck towards the space between the bars of the cage and smashed into a spatial barrier. The energy that warps the space inside from the outside acted as a barrier. Most creatures had no chance of doing anything to it, but the Breach Hawk had innate spatial abilities and the cage shook violently.

Getting over his amazement, Sage rose a hand, Enough!

The Twin Soul, still inside the Breach Hawk, struck out towards the soul of the Hawk. The Twin Ringed Serpent venom had mostly worn off by now, and a barrier of Spirit Power sprung up against the Hawks soul. It was just too bad that the strength of the two souls was drastically unbalanced now. The Twin Soul burst through that barrier of Spirit Power with one strike and landed a blow on the other soul. The Hawk lost another portion of its soul and shrunk down even smaller, looking like a little sparrow now in comparison to the Twin Soul.

Sensing the danger, the hawkman almost instantly calmed down and stood there. Unsure of what to do and how to act it could only freeze in place. A lofty and proud existence, how could it submit to another being? It would rather give up its life than be humiliated.

Sage gave the beast a nod, Much better. Can you understand my words? Can you speak?

The birdman let out a croak. Then it snapped its mouth shut and stood up to its full height. It turned away and crossed its arms, not wanting to be embarrassed. It would rather give Sage the cold shoulder.

The hawkman coughed and sputtered a few times, then he picked up a cup of water and took a drink. He licked his lips awkwardly, birds didnt have lips after all, and the motion was still foreign to him.

I have. Human customs are quite strange.

Sage laughed and smiled, Perfect! Then it is past time we make a proper introduction! I am Lang Sheng. Lang as in Mantis, and Sheng as in Sage. In the future, I shall be known as Ling Sheng. Ling as in bell, and Sheng as in life. If we are to work together there shall be no secrets between us. What is your name, mighty one?

The hawk seemed to take in his words with a strange tilt of its head. A hidden identity and flattery? What was this humans intent?

Tiankong zhi Wang.

The King of the Sky? Truly a fitting name for you.

Sage had interrupted the bird before it could say more and the bird smiled at him. It even lifted its shoulders like it was preening, standing up straighter and showing off.

Its also quite long. May I just call you King?

The birdman, King, nodded and the two of them began a long conversation.
