13 The cultural journey II

Continuing his journey he encountered a tribe which she prayed to the spirits, those who were very different from the tribes I know. 
He met them well but this tribe was much less friendly, he did not learn from them because they were much more paranoid than the people of Olmeca. 
Izel watched them for two or three days before leaving because he didn't feel welcome. 
He left his boat in this tribe, he wanted to travel the country on foot because the sea was becoming much more agitated and also to discover the interior of the land. 
For another year he continued his journey in this continent, he found many new species of flora and fauna to observe and study.

Izel POV ============================================================

The landscapes didn't change much at first but it changed over time the trees were gradually replaced by thorny bushes and the grass was replaced by sand. The animals in this area were less diverse than the area in my house, I encountered a solitary four-legged creature. I didn't want to attack him and neither did he from what I could see, very pretty creature she hunts in a way that I did not know she tracks her prey with scent. I trained with her, followed her and learned more from her than from some human. We were on good terms even if she did not understand me, she must feel that I will do nothing to her we shared the meals; chases them away. At night she stay far enough away from me as if she doesn't want to get close enough in case something happens.

I parted ways with her after a few months because our paths were not the same, to thank her for learning I infused a small part of my energy into her body. I have managed to condense this energy into a small bead in her body so that the diffusion is gradual and if she ever has a serious injury this bead will heal those injuries.

This method is quite complicated to tell the truth I had to train a lot for it to be effective, I create ways of using my powers in a diversified way because it allows me to better control my capacities. Some micro-abilities that I have discovered are quite diverse, for example detoxifying fish or even accelerating plant growth.

My journey continued and the landscapes changed again after a few months, the woods came back but with different tree species from my island.

I came across animals as big as buffalo but more massive with a thick black coat with horns, they move in a herd we were hungry with cuau but the sa will be complicated to hunt even cuau could not do much despite its strength .

Seeing these animals I told myself that it would be almost impossible to hunt them, I observed them for a few hours with my nozzle and we deduced that it would be impossible. Yet I would love to have one of these beasts as a mount, it would be so fun to ride this creature or even tow a small wagon with it. Well I had to feed us so I hit the road again to find something to eat.

We did find small game although we had to hunt a lot more to keep us full, Cuau meanwhile having fun with a condor. She had been fighting amicably for a good twenty minutes, the joy was felt in our bond. She wasn't really looking to win just flying with a friend who looks like her, she helps me so much that I forgot she was a child.

I should let her play sometimes I owed her that, I will try to find her a permanent friend who would follow us on our adventures. I don't want a common companion, I want a unique or particular companion, I would find something good during his trip.

End IZEL POV ==========================================================

His journey lasted a very long time he could see a lot of things, he traveled all those continent.

Encountered a lot of new thing from people who had different custom and even certain who practiced magic, a rudimentary form of magic which were often used to improve these hunting or healing abilities.

A tribal shaman had shown him an enchantment form with strange symbols that Izel tried to remember, there weren't many symbols but the way of drawing them by infusing intentions was very complicated for him.

He has managed to write two symbols at the moment, the one for "protection" and the other for "purification", he had an affinity with life or with the concept that the shaman is telling him.

It wasn't that important to him because he couldn't change these things, his journey of this continent lasted at least seven cycles or he saw all of it.

According to those he could see the civilizations of this end of the world are not very advanced but unlike the kree there is magic, the blue man does not believe in magic it can be a strong point for me

if he comes back, the kree have a life expectancy of at least 4000 cycles so for them this ten should not represent much, but hey we never know he could come back hope izel will be strong enough to stop them.

One thing he has noticed over the years is that he did not age in any case not like other humans, his mind is matured but his body on the other hand has not aged a bit since it was twenty two 
years . 
His growth was also strange like that of cuau he grew very quickly to reach a respectable height, as if this had been accelerated. 
The improving cell count had suffered an unexplained 65% shutdown, it could not change further as if there was a blockage but with so many cells it is possible to multiply by at least three times.

Cuau also grew to be very strong these cells also modify themselves a bit like his but slightly different, the one which was the most modify those found in these greenhouse and these wings. She flew very fast and stealthily, her attack could be very violent her strength equaling hers in many ways. Her instinct was far superior to his, she was able to save his life many times.

Pov IZEL==========================================================

Recently I have been bored with cuau we feel that everything we come across is similar to the things we have seen before, we haven't even come across anything that really makes us curious.

It's been nine years since we started to travel this part of the continent and I had to accept the fact that we have seen everything.

We decided that we would call the ship this morning to change continents because we cannot cross the ocean otherwise, we will have to wait a few hours for it to arrive because I did not want it to be observed by the people along the way.

With cuau we were looking for a new partner for some time we set our sights on a particular species, a species that the natives called elk, A large specimen once it becomes adult a species that could serve me as a mount.

Cuau and I didn't want to remove a member from their pack so we were looking for a specimen that was lonely we had planned to try and socialize with it.

We follow a very young elk who was alone apart from the group, I approached him to use my gifts so that my energy connects us temporarily. It worked. I finally understood why he was alone, to reject for his difference he was going to die a tumor was to place in his brain. Two months I give him before his tumor kills him his family had to leave him for this reason.

I will try to cure him, I tell him that we could cure him if he comes with us. It took at least forty minutes for him to make up his mind, so we had to reassure him and get into his heart. I linked the little one to our bond so that he felt he could trust us and it was worth a lot more effort than I thought.
