4 Chapter Three: Nokkers?

After hours of searching, Otori's wings grew more tired as he ventured on. Even after a day, rest wasn't an easy option.

One day before, Otori decided to rest on a little tree Beach he had seen in a secluded forest. After falling asleep, something had stabbed him in the arm before draining him of his energy. These things had taken the forms of anything they had stolen from. In this case, the nokker Otori encountered stolen his energy. The forms weren't exact, so they only stole the shape and not the full form. Since Otori had found one in the forest, it's made form was made out of wood and vines.

Otori was nodding off to sleep while flying, he had lost all concentration, even enough to fly past a huge village underneath him. After falling asleep, he was gliding through the air leaving his wings still in-motion. He woke up a few hours later from flying into a giant tree surrounded by a town he hadn't seen before. Otori swiftly concealed his wings and tail before hitting the ground. All in the area had crowded around him, seeing if he was ok, though they had not seen his wings not tail, they still wondered how he fell from the sky. Otori hobbled up, still exhausted and half asleep.

"Do you need help young man?" A lady cried out, she was extremely worried about him.

"You look tired, want to stay at my place for a little while?" She helped Otori up. He couldn't hear her since he was so tired. The lady leant her shoulder to him as they walked on to a house near the tree. After going inside, she placed him on the couch. As soon as he was laying down, he instantly fell asleep.

"Wonder where he's from, definitely not here. His hair is kind of a pale blue, so maybe the capital?" She wondered as she was watching Otori sleep in peace.

"I'll ask him when he wakes up"
