章 19: 19-Raven Younglings
As the Golden Bright Sun ascended to the Sky, The Blue skies engulfed the World as the White Fluffy Clouds passed within them. The Emerald Green Leaves and the Humid Bark of the Trees. The Crystalline and Clear Water from the Bodies of Water within the Forest. The Beautiful Ferns and the Tall Slick Grass. The Green Moss that conquered the Forest. And Life waking up at the beginning of their new day.
The Creatures all over the World woke up with the rising sun. The Creatures began their hunt for food and prey. It was the start of their new day of survival. In this world, No one wants to die. Even the Creatures themselves do not want to face death. If the moment they die comes, They will get forgotten, and the Forest will move on.
As time passes by within this world, The Golden Bright Sun was approaching the Center of the Heavens.
Within the Forest, In a Small Bush near a Tree. A Small White Snake exited the Bush at a fast speed. It silently slithered through the Forest. The Snake traversed through the Grass and only left a Slight rustle at the Tall Slick Grass. The Snake was looking around the Forest and was trying to find its Prey.
'I don't feel any creatures near me. Do I have to find Bird Eggs?' Persia thought to herself. She couldn't feel other creatures near her. She could hunt them, but she didn't know if it would work. The Frogs were just a Lucky Situation with her Brain working peacefully. But after eating the Frogs, Persia had no idea where she needed to go.
Persia traversed through the Forest. There was the option of following the Stream of water, but it was better not to rely on her luck. She quietly slithered through the Tall Slick Grass and dodged each rock that blocked her Way. She was heading towards the North as there were possible Creatures there.
'Since I am heading to the North, Why don't I check the Trees around me.' Persia thought to herself. She could not focus on eggs, but she could try looking at them while heading towards the North. It was a plausible plan, as Persia would have two options if something happened.
Persia continued to slither towards the Northern Part of the Forest. It was where the Pond was found. She didn't plan on getting back to the Pond. She wanted to go beyond the Pond. Persia slithered towards the Northern Direction in her Max Speed. While heading towards the North, She kept looking at the Trees she passed.
As she continued slithering within the Forest, Persia already passed the Ledge and the Pond. She went over that area and slithered beyond it. She was slithering in her max speed. It was hard to traverse the Forest at her max speed as she would have to dodge every obstruction that came her way.
Persia was fortunate to have the Mobility that was over her Speed. She could easily dodge everything that wishes to obstruct her while also maintaining the Max Speed. She looked at every Tree she passed and while thinking about her plan. Multiple obstructions quickly appeared within her mind.
Persia quickly stopped moving her Body and Froze. She had a quick thought within her mind.
'The Problem would be the fact that the Eggs would have Parent Birds guarding them.' Persia furrowed her non-existent eyebrows. She didn't know if she could handle the Parent Birds. She could fight them after she evolved, but since she was still a baby snake, there was no need to fight them.
'It would be better to be silent and not alert anything. As a Baby Snake, I could use my Camouflage and Stealth attribute to Eat and Kill them.' Persia nodded in satisfaction with these words of hers. She needed to be careful while hunting eggs. It would trigger the Parent Birds. She continued slithering in the Forest while taking her attention into Stealth.
'Isn't this called Assassination? Instead of Killing my Targets, I would also eat them.' Persia thought to herself. She thought that she was acting like a Ninja. She wanted to be a Ninja, but she didn't have enough stealth, speed, agility, coordination, strength, sense, and perception to be a Ninja. She then activated all of her Tracking Sense while slithering through the Forest at her max speed.
Persia slithered through the Forest with a Speed comparable to a Normal Car. Her Infrared Vision got activated, and Persia looked at each tree she passed. She also used her Olfaction Warning Sense to smell the scent of the Birds. She listened to the Songs of Nature to guide her body towards the Prey.
As she flicked her snake tongue multiple times, Persia picked up a scent of a bird. She got excited when she smelt the Scent of the Bird. She looked around to sense the direction on where the Scent was coming. She used her head as a compass heading toward the Bird's Scent.
'It seems that I have finally found my Target.' Persia looked in the direction the scent was pointing. The Scent was leading towards the Northwestern Part of the Forest. She currently has no idea what the Northwestern Part of the Forest. It would be dangerous, but the location of the Birds Nest wasn't that far from her current location.
'This Direction... It's pure unknown land if I continue.' Persia thought to herself as she stopped moving her body. It was dangerous to continue in her journey. She would quickly escape if something happened during her journey. She was very cautious about hunting in the Forest. Many Dangerous Predators could be hiding deep within the unknowns.
'Let's hunt it.' Persia nodded to herself. She wanted to evolve, and since the Prey was already waiting in front of her. Why would she not hunt it? It would be a waste of biomass to let it free. Persia then slithered towards the Northwestern Direction. She traversed through the Grass and Ferns as she heads towards the Northwestern Part of the Forest.
As she slithered towards the Northwestern Part of the Forest. Persia flicked her snake tongue multiple times. The Bird's scent was getting stronger and stronger as she continued heading towards the Direction. She was at her cruising speed which was half her max speed.
It took a while, but she finally arrived at her destination.
'The Border between the Central Forest and the North Forest.' Persia thought to herself. She would name the Forest according to her experience. She could be wrong, but it seems that the Forest was divided into multiple Regions. It was obvious that Regions would exist as the Border signified that.
'The Thickest Mist I have ever seen.' Persia went silenced when she managed to see the Border of the Regions. The Trees from her Forest stopped on Border. It created a strange straight line of Trees. There was also a Cloud of White Mist blocking everything in the Northern Region.
'I need to Adapt my Mental Map. My Current Location is Probably in the Central Region of the Forest. In front of me is the Northern Region of the Forest. I am currently in the Northern Part of the Central Region.' Persia tried to update her current Mental Map. The Forest was a bit bigger than she expected.
'Strange Shadows are even observable from the Mist.' Persia thought to herself while staring at the Mist. She flicked her snake tongue multiple times and sighed in relief. She had a piece of good news. She couldn't help but have a smirk plastered on her snake face.
'The Bird's Nest didn't pass the Border. It's near me.' Persia looked around her current location. She decided to ignore the Border for now, and eat the Bird Eggs, and evolve into an Adult Snake. While looking around the Trees near her, Persia finally found her target.
'So this is the place.' Persia stared at a Tall Withered Tree. It was the Origin of the Bird scent. Persia was contemplating if she should continue. The Tree was strange and scary. It looked like a hunted tree infected by darkness. But as she was already near the Tree, why not try one last thing.
Persia used all of her senses again. She wanted to know if there were birds within the Area. She Cold Breeze passed through her Frozen Body. Persia didn't care about the Cold Breeze and continued to listen to her Senses. As time passes by, Persia finally moved her body.
'The Tree is clear. There are no birds within my Sensing range.' Persia thought to herself. She was already sure about it as she focused on her sense for more than a minute. She checked everything around her before planning to continue on the plan. With the confirmation, The Plan of Persia was about to continue.
'It's time for my Meal.' Persia thought to herself. There were no Parent Birds near the Nest. It would mean that the Bird was currently out of the Nest and was hunting for food. She was fortunate to find the Bird's Nest in this current time. Persia then slithered towards the Tall Tree.
Arriving in front of the Tall Withered Tree. Persia slithered towards its bark and began climbing towards the top. She slithered quietly as her body was in its horizontal position. She didn't care about it as she was used to climbing like this. As she arrived near the top of the Tall withered Tree. She calmly slithered towards the branches of the Tree.
Persia finally arrived at the Branch and saw a strange small structure. It was a nest. Seeing the nest gave Persia an elevated mood. She slowly slithered onto the Branch and was heading towards the nest. As she finally arrived at the Nest, She finally saw her Prey waiting for her.
'Three Eggs.' Persia thought to herself while staring at the Eggs within the Nest. They were bigger than her, but Persia could easily eat them. She looked directly at the Eggs of the Young Birds she was planning to eat. While staring at the Eggs, Persia had many thoughts within her mind.
'I never thought once in my life that I would resort to killing and eating younglings.' Persia thought to herself. She shook her head as it was the only choice she had. She was in the Jungle, A Merciless Part of Nature. Eat or Be Eaten, Hunt or Be Hunted, Kill, or Be Killed. There were no rules in the Forest. Everything and Everyone can do what they wanted without any consequence.
'I might get eaten, but that wouldn't mean I wouldn't resist.' Persia thought to herself with a smirk plastered on her snake face. She could get eaten, but that doesn't mean she would give up. There was no way she would give up. She would purge her own path within the strings of Fate. With such words within her, Persia's confidence rose.
'This does remind me of that one guy that killed the younglings.' Persia didn't manage to continue her education. She got forced to stay in a Hospital. She watched many movies for her entertainment, but in the end, she didn't gain anything from it. The Movies she watched during that time were interesting.
The Story about a Chosen One, An Individual chosen by Fate itself. It was an interesting story with the Chosen One ending as a Villain. Suffering silently and Fighting against Fate which ended tragically. It was an interesting story about an unfortunate man. She didn't want to end like that man.
Persia arrived in the Nest. She slithered around the Three Eggs. She slowly opened her Jaw and began swallowing the First Egg. It was her first time eating something like an Egg. She wasn't sure if her digestive system could dissolve the eggshell. If she can't, she would probably force it out of her mouth.
After eating the First Egg, Persia Swallowed the Second One. It took seconds to swallow the Second Egg. She stared coldly at the Last Youngling or Egg. She opened her Jaw big and wide. She swallowed the Third Egg whole. Her Body began breaking the Eggs within her.
After eating the Egg, It was time for Persia to retreat away from this part of the Forest. She didn't know if the Parent Bird would forget or looking for revenge. Persia slithered down the Tree and traversed the Forest at her full speed. She was slowly getting away from the Border. She didn't stop slithering until she met a Big Bush.
She quickly hid within the Bush, and a Notification echoed within her head.
*Ding!*
[You have eaten 3 Undeveloped Creatures named Raven... You have gained 15 Biomass.]
[You have reached the Biomass Requirements for Evolution.]
[Evolution will now activate.]
[Preparing for Deep Sleep.]
'Tsk... I didn't think this would happe-' Before Persia could continue her words. Her Whole Body lit up in a Bright Light. The Whole Bush wot illuminated by the Strange Light of Persia. Her Body slowly floated from the Ground and slowly broke down as it molds itself. She was evolving into a New Version of her Race. It was something better than her current body.
As the Bright Light that engulfed Persia's body dims. At the Center of the Bright Light was a Circular Object. It had a Pitch-Black Color that was darker than the Night. It had White Ancient Runes plastered on it. It was a Dark Colored Egg. It was Persia herself.
The Last Notification then echoed within her Mind.
[Evolving...]
