Overseer [5]

RUMBLE!

The sound came from every direction.

It was easy to pick up even through the layers of rock it had to travel through to reach Damien in the first place. There were at least several thousand birds charging through the narrow tunnels, and from the chaos in the sound, it was clear they weren't opposed to making new paths of their own!

The question surfaced once again.

Were they to fight, or to run?

Having to continuously ponder escape was extremely annoying. The fact that it was impossible to be at least near the top of the food chain in this environment was not something Damien could accept!

It had been a very long time since he felt this way. Even when he was weak, he was always above his peers, and his interactions with those who could step all over him were not prominent.

Now, he was experiencing what it was like to be "normal."
