Through the eyes of othersi

"Imbued beasts" are creatures that elves have tamed using a form of spell similar to the soul pact.

Once the creature is subjugated, its owner can gain access to the creature's senses, although for a time limit it can be effective for espionage and information sharing.

The elves mainly use these creatures as a means of communication, between themselves during hunting sessions, between clans to warn them of dangers or to send invitations of some kind, and they also served as means of declaring feelings.

In elf culture, a young elf in love would use a dove to send a letter to her lover and the same for her male counterpart who would send him his response.

Using "earth rodents", small beasts no bigger than the size of a hand, which gnaw the head to move, thanks to them, they managed to penetrate inside the Dhakat village now occupied by ogres.

Inside it, through the eyes of rodents, they were able to map the interior, detecting both the positions of the soldiers and potential places where the ogres could have held the hostages.

One of the rodents was controlled by Alain, an elf soldier under the command of the recently awakened officer Viola, it was with immense surprise that he noticed that sharing the senses with his "imbued beast" had undoubtedly become precise.

In previous uses of this ability, the information transmitted was not concrete enough;

He couldn't really differentiate between objects, he often got the smells wrong and the sounds weren't audible enough.

Apart from the fact that he could clearly distinguish the information transmitted, he had the impression that it was himself, who felt the contacts with whom his beast was facing.

Through the creature's magical senses, he sensed large energy signatures, each of them several times stronger than its own master, their energy was so dense and dangerous, it made one wonder if he will no longer notice these small rodents passing through their home.

Through the beast's sense of smell, there was this smell, this stench that stank up the interior of the village, the smell of undrying, the smell of the remains of various creatures that they ignored and also the alleys exhaled a fetid smell of ogre excrement.

These vile creatures, although they have a hint of intelligence, do not know the existence of the word "hygiene", or rather this mode of operation had literally been omitted from their customs.

Restraining himself from emptying his stomach, Alain reluctantly continued his observation; it did not take long for him to realize the horror that was hidden in the habitat of these dirty demons.

Through the animal's eyes, Alain inspected the surroundings, the creature advanced gradually but surely, hiding each time so as not to attract attention.

After a few seconds of what seemed like an eternity of mapping the interior, he saw a dark room with its door savagely torn off.

Ordering the creature to approach closer, Alain narrowed his eyes reflexively, trying to discern the silhouettes hidden in the depths of the room.

What he saw made his eyes widen, the urge to vomit that he was trying to hold back unfortunately couldn't be a success.

Temporarily cutting the connection with the creature, Alain poured his entire stomach onto the ground, these acts of violence he witnessed could not be watched by anyone with a holy spirit.

"What is happening ?" Cliff asked him, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Did you find it?"

Putting his hand on his shoulder, Cliff waited for him to finish, so he could finally get his answer.

Raising his head out of breath, the elf faced Cliff.

"SO..!?" Cliff said questioningly.

"I-I found them my lord" he replied, stammering over his words.

Cliff furrowed his brows slightly, he suspected he had seen something that had put him in this state.

And his suspicions were confirmed when he saw the young elf soldier's face distort and horrified.

"Damn!!!" Cliff had sworn

"What could he have seen inside!!?"

Creation is hard, cheer me up! VOTE for me!
