Chapter 7: Lady and Bird Union

After killing the panther with ease she walked forward to check the beast's body.

"Wanna take a bite?" she asked Queen. The bird flew towards the panther and looked at the body up and down then moved her beak near the body and then side to side. Sachi expression turned weird as it seemed to her that Queen was trying to smell the beast. Then a strange sound erupted from it's mouth which sounded like a snort.

Queen returned back and landed on Sachi's shoulder. "You are picky eater I think" she said teasing a little.

"N..o.. mo..t.her" a voice sounded in her mind. Sachi was stunned by the voice.

Then she looked at Queen "Is it you?"

"Ye..s..s" the voice sounded again and this time Queen nodded it's head.

Sachi laughed out happily and then kissed the bird deeply. Then she dug out the beast core and threw it into her cloak pocket and then searched for the horse which ran away from fear.

Sachi found it a little distance away near a pond. The horse tried to run away as it saw Sachi, but Queen flew quickly and landed on its head and hit it slowly releasing it's aura. The horse froze with fear.

Sachi walked to it and slowly calmed it down and saying comforting words. Queen also glared at it. The horse submitted without delay.

After taking a small bath in the pond Sachi mounted the horse ordering it to move forward.

On the gates of the town the sentries were looking out as they are for night watch.

One of the sentries looked at the other and said "I think the sounds have stopped. Do you think it is okay not to report to higher ups?" he asked.

"No need to worry it's probably some animals fighting over food or territory or a group of hunters fighting the beats" he replied casually. From his experience this place was not so dangerous as this place did not have high level beasts. They were all low level and mid level beats. A very rare case to see high level beasts but the higher ups can handle it. So he did not care much about the sounds.

"But that cry Jack, it was different I felt a shudder when I heard it" The first sentry said.

"I did not feel anything and probably you felt cool air and shuddered, try to visit a doctor in the morning" replied Jack.

Then they heard a horse neighing and quickly looked down. Sachi stopped at the gates and looked up "I work for Vera family of the Vergas County, I am returning back from an errand" she shouted.

"Oh, the Vera family, you can come in" the sentry said smiling. Sachi threw a pouch upwards and walked in.

As the sentry caught the pouch he was delighted. The Vera family was well known family along with the Poalms. "However, now the fate of the Poalm family is unknown" he though with a sigh.

Sachi heard the Sigh clearly. She felt there were some changes in her body after the fight with the winged panther. She can clearly see everything; the things which are not clear to her previously were visible like she is looking through magnifying glass and microscope. Her vision is very clear even in the dark. Her sense of smell and hearing also increased. It's like she has super senses.

"Something happened in the county either it's the Vera's or my family" she thought. As she was about to leave the other sentry ran towards her and asked "Brother did you see or hear any sounds on the way here?" He asked.

Sachi quickly thought about the fight with the winged panther "Ah, yes, a hunting party was fiercely fighting with two mid level beats" she replied and moved forward.

"Didn't I tell you, it should be a fight between the hunters and beats" said Jack grinning.

The second sentry was in a thought, he cannot let go the shudder he had when he heard the cry. "Wait was that girl, her voice sounded like a girl but I thought it was a man" the sentry thought.

However Sachi left the premises already and found an inn. As usual she jumped on to the island as soon as she locked doors.

As she stepped in the system's voice sounded "Congratulations for levelling up, you have received 200 gold coins and a red coin as congratulatory gift"

"As I expected" thought Sachi, she was delighted to know that she has levelled up. She quickly opened the panel

"Wonderful, my level increased again" Sachi was happy.

She sat down gathering her thoughts about the fight with the panther and magical spells she learned.

She remembered the water magical spells and using them as basis she designed ice spells. She slowly immersed in ice magic and slowly went into a trance which was rare for mages and also an opportunity.

She started making things of ice. Queen who was sleeping flew over as she sensed changes in Sachi.

She looked at Sachi practicing ice magic, she flew over and landed on her shoulder. Queen closed her ice and slowly started sinking her mind with Sachi falling into the trance as well.

This was also a form of magic and method called beast and man or in Sachi's case beast and lady union.

A powerful union method which is tough even for experienced beast tamers. This happened because both Sachi and Queen have a deep trust and bond, there were not afraid to die for each other.

Queen's magic comes automatically from her memories and blood. It is a natural thing for them; they do not need to specifically practice it. However due to Sachi's influence Queen started practicing as well which is a natural became something more due to hardwork.

Queen's magic and memories flowed into Sachi and Sachi's experience and memories of two lives flowed into Queen making them a single entity.

Both were in the same position for a long time.

An alert notification rang however Sachi was unable to hear it due to being in a trance.

"Congratulations for owner to achieving human- beast union in the owner's case Lady and bird union. Reward....."
