Chapter 4 - New acquaintances

Elliot nodded the whole time and kept his eyes glued to Major Klaus as she scolded him for.... For what exactly? Well, apparently it doesn't bother her that much.

He simply silently accepted all her insults and did not continue this pointless conversation. Although no, there was a point in the conversation, Elliot had an extremely high emotional intelligence and through monologue Major Klaus was able to understand a lot about her personality and emotions. He quietly soaked up the information like a sponge until she finished.

"Any questions?" the Major said firmly.

"No way," Elliott decided not to escalate the situation.

Follow me - The Major began to walk deeper into the castle.

Elliot calmly followed her, looking around the castle and remembering everything, just in case, you never know what might happen.

When they reached the balcony in the castle he suddenly felt a sole on his back, and then he began to fall sharply. It is not difficult to guess that the busty Major Klaus pushed him.

Your first task is to bring me the head of a wolf bird with a scorpion sting, if you don't complete it by the end of the day, I'll give you a beating.

During the flight, Elliot was very scared, he thought he would crash until he remembered one detail... He is in the World of Dreams, where dreams materialize. Halfway there he imagined wings and from behind his back a blue-black pair of wings appeared and he swooped down like a pelican, but whole. Having landed he looked around, but he did not dare to remove his wings, instead he began to look around, just in case. But the fauna and flora looked friendly, only he knew that free cheese is only in a mousetrap and therefore behaved even more quietly, like a predator, only a weak predator, until far away from him he noticed a huge boar, no seriously, it was the size of a horse and muscular.

Time to fly-Elliot thought and he flew up, but unexpectedly for him, this boar caught up with him in one jump and was already ready to impale Elliot's carcass on his thick and sharp tusks. Only Elliot was now in a stressful situation and his dynamic visual acuity and, in principle, the speed of his reflexes also increased, Elliot supported this effect with the natural energy of sleep. For more convenience naturally. He saw how the boar one meter away from him was grinning and looking at Elliot with glowing red eyes, it looked strange considering that he was in the air. Like a boar here just decided to attack Elliot so he maneuvered to the left and the boar flew past, Elliot suddenly sighed with relief as this huge muscular creature pushed off from the bark of an abnormally thick tree and flies straight at him, but Elliot foresaw this too and dodged again, but because of the initial air flow that was caused by the boar's flight, he was almost pierced through by a tusk until he was able push off the tusk with his hand and thereby change the direction of the boar's flight

Vuiiiii!- The boar squealed like a pig and immediately fell onto a strange leaf of a tree and was eaten by this carnivorous tree, but the tree spat out its tusks.

Elliot smiled, but after a moment he came to his senses as he realized that instead of him he could have been eaten by a carnivorous tree, he landed and silently picked up the tusks, they felt stronger than steel and a very sharp tip of the tusk, he could easily use it as a weapon, this can not be left here. Elliot silently walked on, avoiding any dubious plants, of course....

It was already getting dark, Elliot was roasting rat-fox meat and crickets by the fire, then slowly began to eat them, without spices it was just meat, but at least it was edible. Until he felt a strange gaze on his back, turning around he noticed it, a wolf bird with a scorpion sting!!

He immediately took a stance with his tusks in his hands. He and the bird-wolf walked in a circle and constantly looked at each other, feeling out the ground for an attack. Elliot decided to throw a small stone at him, which the bird-wolf , the bird-wolf rushed towards Elliot, Elliot took a step to the side, like in boxing and slashed with a sharp tusk and hit the bird-wolf, the wound was long, but not that deep. But before that, he smeared the poison of a carnivorous tree, which, before his eyes, first swallowed a boar, and then did not regurgitate its poison, the poison got on the ferret and the ferret became slower until it stopped and died.

The wolf bird pushed off the rubber tree and flew towards Elliot like a catapult, he stepped to the side again and this time with the blunt side of his tusk pushed the wolf bird into the fire, the fire began to spread on the body of this fabulous creature, which made Elliot happy, he did not miss the opportunity to jump on the bird-wolf and plunged his tusks into the body of the bird-wolf, a moment later he died.

He took the carcass of the bird-wolf with him, covered in dirt, with the smell of rotten meat and soot from the fire, he came back to the castle. Wandering, he noticed Major Klaus and threw the body of the bird-wolf to her.

Major Klaus nodded approvingly and silently took the bird-wolf.

Your room is number 23, make yourself at home - said the Major

Elliot said - What do you mean, without a key?

Yes, without a key, the door is magical - Klaus after these words went to her office

Elliot just walked further down the corridors, as he didn't want to bother Major again, he just decided to calmly look for his room, having found it he just walked up to it and... Surprisingly, the door at the sight of Elliot opened itself

Walking through the door, he plopped down on the bed and fell asleep....
