Commotion

Tower treaded the dark forest carefully. These chickens seemed to have evolved to adapt their vision to the dark forest, and Tower who had 9*chicken vision could see his surroundings as clear as a day.

Before long, the chicken Tower came across another life-form. The new lifeform still belonged to the chicken species, but it's belly seemed to be reduced in size while its wings were spread more widely.

At the same moment Tower found the new life-form, it also found him. But it soon turned away ignoring him and minding its own business.

The chicken Tower clicked his, what seemed like an Adam's apple in joy. He carefully advanced towards the new prey. Like the previous chickens, this new prey was oblivious towards' Tower's sly nature and did not take care about his suspicions approach.

But soon a problem arose. The nine chairs around the Round Table were already occupied with chickens. The Round Table does not seem to provide extra chairs.

As he thought of this problem, the Round Table shook lightly and a moment later, Tower felt extremely energized, as if he was overflowing with immense strength. This increase was so sudden that it startled Tower for a moment. Nevertheless, he soon calmed down knowing that this change was caused by the Round Table.

Tower turned his attention towards the Round Table and sure enough, one of the nine normal chairs of the Round Table was empty.

'Did it turn the chicken into pure energy and send it into my body? Thank goodness that my body is strong enough to withstand this small amount of energy.' Tower's face darkened in fear. If the amount of energy exceeded the capacity of his body, it would have ruptured him inside out.

'How can I be so silly? I should not experiment without knowing the consequences anymore!' He chided himself. It was his carelessness that had brought him his previous death, and this time too, he could have been killed due to his carelessness. This made Tower remember a famous line from his previous life.

'Humans Can't Change Instantly.'

'Sigh! I can only try to be more careful in the future!' Tower soon overcame his depression and made his way to the unsuspecting life-form.

But as careless as the new life-form was, it still sensed something wrong with the chicken approaching it. It squinted it's eyes.

"Kukuru ku kuru kuku....." The new life-form seemed to warm the chicken to stay away from it. It even raised its wings in provocation.

The chicken, Tower, for some baffling reason could understand the chicken language and this made him decisive.

He put all his strength in his two legs and with the speed of 8 chickens plus one human, dashed towards his prey.

Startled, the new life-form fluttered its wings as if to fly away. But how could Tower let his prey escape. He extended his chicken wings, and with the strength of eight chickens he soared up higher than his target instantly.

Tower then dived down and with his whole strength struck his prey. The Round Table immediately summoned chains and brought back the injured prey into the unoccupied ninth chair.

"Kukuku kururu kuku...?" Suddenly, sounds reverberated all around the forest. The fight between Tower and his prey seemed to have disturbed the locals of the forest.

"Shit.." Tower cursed. He then willed the Round Table and transformed into the new species chicken. Spreading his wings, he immediately soared into the sky and escaped back towards the place where he first woke up.

Tower understood, at this moment, the safest place he knew was there. Searching for other safer locations in this dark forest when he knew nothing about it was equivalent to suicide.

It took Tower half an hour to reach the prey's location from the place he awoke. But he returned back within a minute. Tower could not help but be amazed at the flying speed of his new prey. Moreover, the strength he gained from his new prey was twice the chickens. Tower became so intoxicated with its strength that he wanted nothing more than to replace his other chickens with the new species.

But Tower soon noticed an anomaly. While the residents of the Forest were rushing towards the place of the commotion, the chickens were rushing in the opposite direction. Tower's 'Chicken' senses also told him that running in the opposite direction and following the chickens was the best decision.

Tower followed his senses. Transforming into a chicken, he ran along in the opposite direction.

....

Few minutes after Tower left with the chickens, a shadow, the size of a huge village covered the dark forest. The shadow looked at the commotion happening below coldly. Numerous Chickens species that were stronger and larger than humans were tearing each other with their beaks. Some spewed black fire, some disappearing into darkness of the forest to attack stealthily, and some used brute strength to tear out its kin.

The place was crazy with murder.

The shadow sighed sadly at this scene. "To think my madness affected my descendants? Though the descendants with lower concentration of my blood seemed to be able to control themselves and thus had fled. Sigh! The higher the concentration, the more crazy they turn!" The shadow watched the destruction till the end.

....

Two days later,

A large bird, of the size of a huge house chirped loudly while spewing dark fire as if declaring its victory. It was the final victor of this crazy war. But before it could celebrate more, a huge shadow tore its body apart.

A deep sigh followed the death of this victor.

The shadow then flew back deeper into the forest.
