Episode 12

***

It was just a few minutes ago when Jake Smithson put the squawking, flapping pigeon out of its misery with a smack to its skull.

Who knew that its wings were its weak spot? Jake asked himself as he saw his points go from zero to a thousand. Well, that figures. Something this difficult would give this much incentive.

And now I have to hunt twenty-one more of them to afford the package I want – but it’s not going to be a walk in the park, pun intended, because I’m hunting flyers now.

Wouldn’t you know it, I don’t have anything to throw or shoot.

Another one of those Iron-Beaked Fantails saw him and swooped downward.

The only efficient way I can do this is by playing chicken – har dee har har – with these giant pigeons.

He had long since ripped his shirt up into strips and used them as makeshift bandages – despite his physical defense going up to 4, those sharp beaks still cut him open in places.

Granted, those cuts weren’t deep, but they did warrant him having to bandage himself up lest he collapse from blood loss.

But knowing what he did now after taking out the first Fantail would really help when facing the second… third… and fourth.

Good news is that the defense package I bought really helped. I still have to keep it together.

They’re fast, though. Breaking their wings will mean I’ll have to time my swings perfectly, kinda like those arcade ticket machines. A bat’s a bad choice for hunting birds, and a wooden one at that, too. But, as they always say, nothing worthwhile comes easy.

I’ll just have to hit them as they pass me by.

He tightened the bandages on his arms as soon as he was finished with the second fantail, using the beak from the first fantail he killed to pry off the beak from the second one’s skull.

Just three so far, he noted, before looking to the sky and seeing it already beginning to turn orange. I’m going to have to pace myself from this point onward.

It’s been quite a long time since the sky began to turn dark. Different day and night cycle from Earth... I get it.

He was just about done with stashing the important loot he had just recently acquired into his inventory when he heard some familiar voices below, just as the first stars were beginning to show up in the sky.

“You motherfuckers! Keep it together!”

This sounds familiar, he thought as he made his way down to the base of Mount Mushin, where the voices where coming from.

It wasn’t that far from where he was – about two hundred meters or a minute’s worth of running – and from his vantage point he could see a bunch of people gathered near the base.

Their faces were familiar: Seamus and his mostly female entourage and/or hangers-on – who were giving him grief earlier in the morning.

The women looks like they’re healing one of their own, Jake observed, and stopped when he saw just how bad it was.
