She had gained three levels during that battle! Amira’s large head came into view as she leaned down and looked intently into Leo’s eyes. At first, Leo thought he might have made her angry, but then a new sensation caught his attention.

It was like a high-pitched frequency that rang inside his head. He tried to ignore it and the noise quieted to an almost imperceptible level, but it refused to fully vanish. Confused, he looked around to see where the noise was coming from, but he seemed to be the only one that had noticed it, as all the other creatures were looking at him or resting on the ground.

Amira gave him a slight nudge with her beak and the ringing in his head increased. Leo looked at her a moment, then tried a different tactic. Instead of ignoring the noise he focused on it, willing the sound to get louder and clearer. Immediately the sound grew in volume and intensity, becoming almost painful before something clicked in his mind and he heard a voice coming into focus like the tuning of an old radio.

llo…please verify that you can hear me before I run out of patience and fry you.

“Wahhh!” Leo cried out in surprise. He went to back away but ended up tripping over his feet and falling on his rear.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill Beast Communication! Rarity: Rare, Skill Level: Novice Level 1. Hey before you kill me, how about we have a little chat? Capability to mentally communicate with sentient beasts up to 25 feet away.

Although it was great that he had learned a new skill, the thought that creatures were capable of speaking directly to his mind was unsettling, to say the least.

Base upon your overreaction, I’m assuming you can hear me. Amira adjusted her head so that her imposing beak wasn’t mere inches from his face, her voice calm and collective. Ignore the part about me frying you. Zeldorth would be furious with me after all. I understand to someone of your limited intelligence and experience, this conversation might perturb you a bit, but please try to refrain from making a further fool of yourself. I’m not in the mood to explain myself twice. Her voice sounded tired and distinctly feminine.

Uhhh…I’m talking to a giant bird with my mind, Leo thought lamely, a little distracted by the proximity of the beak and the whole situation.

Leo felt what could only be described as a mental sigh coming from Amira before she pulled back her head with a puff of feathers. Is there anything else completely obvious you wish to get out of the way? Please don’t reply, that was rhetorical. As you can see, we are being waited on for the continuation of the ceremony, so do try to stop gawking and refrain from making a fool out of yourself any further.

His face grew warm as he realized every creature in the vicinity had just seen his entire reaction. He got back to his feet, trying to preserve what little dignity he had left in front of the collection of monsters.
