Early in the morning, the next day. Before the first light broke through the cloudy sky, Mala strolled to a house on the outer edges of the village.

Her legs sank into the thick snow that had fallen yesterday as she made her way to Aru's house.

As usual, she had prepared the herbal growth solution and went to Aru's house to get it imbued with wood elemental spirit energy.

After a while, Mala finally reached his house.

However, she immediately noticed the absence of the blizzardwing. The backyard and the shed behind the house were empty and there was no sign of the giant bird.

This quickly caught her attention, but she dismissed it, assuming it had gone off to find some food.

After all, the blizzardwing was a large bird. The food needed to sustain itself cannot be provided by the tribe or Aru. So, it must have needed to hunt on its own to sustain itself.

She quickly came up with an explanation.
