Get Wild Mod by MathModder (In Progress)

What you need to know:

This mod introduces wild animals into your game map that spawn naturally in beetle spawners. It includes birds, small mammals, amphibians, more insects and reptiles in nature zones. Birds can fly and land in random locations and ground animals can be seen walking around the map.

You can choose ONE from various versions that best suit your world. Select the version that spawns specific animals suitable for your World's location.

Here's a list of potential versions that will be included in the mod:

All Wildlife (City World)*

All Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

American Wildlife (City World)*

American Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

European Wildlife (City World)*

European Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

African Wildlife (City World)*

African Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

Eastern Wildlife (City World)*

Eastern Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

*Versions for cities will have additional specific effects that help create a more beautiful environment for your city, such as planes in the sky, fireworks, sunshine rays during the day, and sky lanterns for the All Wildlife and Eastern Wildlife version. **Versions for Medieval/Country towns will feature additional specific effects to enhance the beauty of your world, including hot air balloons in the sky, sunshine rays during the day, and more.

These additional effects mentioned above will appear rarely and randomly in your world.

Can I place individual animals in specific locations, such as on rocks or tables?

In a future update after launch, this function will be added, for now they will only spawn where there is a beetle spawner. Ground animals on the ground and birds in the air.

Is the mod heavy to run?

Within the game I am optimizing it so that a small number of animals spawn at the same time and only spawn at a maximum distance of 500 meters from the player's camera.

How many files will there be?

Because there are many animals and specific animations for each one, the files will be heavy, will be a maximum of 2 to 3 files. In tests in my game with 150 other mods from other creators, I didn't see any loss of performance due to the optimization I'm doing within the game.

It is worth mentioning that some files will need to be placed in the Overrides folder and others in the Packages folder, they will all be specified at launch.

Is this mod compatible with other effect mods?

Yes, it will be compatible.

Bugs:

Depending on the location, there may be some bugs such as birds landing in the air or animals walking a little above the ground, this is due to calculation problems on certain game surfaces and physics, whether hills or mountains, but over time I will update and see What can I do to reduce this. In this case I depend on the engine the game has and whether it is possible to correct certain errors.

Release date:

Between January and February 2024 (It is in the testing phase)

Erwin: He'd have a male Chinook dog named Soldier. They're hardworking, which he appreciates, but they're also loyal and family devoted, so that means that they're good with kids. He takes the best care of his dog ever.

Hange: Definitely has a male Leachie Gecko. And a big one. Takes the best care of it and has somehow lived for like 20 years and is still thriving. They named it Bennidect Bartholemu Cambel.

Levi: Hange won him a goldfish at the fair, and they named her Goldie. She's lived for 5 years and is in amazing health. Levi's actually grown to love Goldie a lot, which Hange kind of expected, but Miche and Erwin totally thought he'd give it back to Hange after like a week.

Miche: Has a huge male gray Bouvier des Flandres with longish hair and "bangs" that cover his eyes a bit. He probably named him Sherlock because he has "big locks of hair". Had to have his tail docked months before Miche adopted him, his tail got stepped on and crushed by a cow.

Moblit: Doesn't have a pet cause "Dealing with Hange takes the same amount of work" but he also helps with Hanges lizard because it's high maintenance.

Eren: He has a female African Grey Parrot that he named "Freiheit" which is German for "freedom." He talks to his parrot like it's a therapist. He also gets upset when someone says his Parrot's a girl, and he'll argue back with something like "no, actually he's a guy" even though the parrots a girl.

Armin: He has a male Eastern Box Turtle. He named him Squirt because when he adopted him, the first thing Squirt did was spit water at his face, so Armin thought it'd be appropriate to name him Squirt.

Mikasa: Female Maine Coon named Kiku. Her mother told her that the Kiku flower was her favorite flower and that it's believed the flower can prolong peoples lives.

Connie: Male Hyacinth Macaw he named Destroyer since he thought he (THE BIRD) would be able to destroy anything in its path (A BIRD). He trained his bird to attack anyone he points at while screeching "CA CAW!"

Sasha: Male squirrel she named Squirrelly. She didn't buy him from anywhere. She was literally sitting at the park and a squirrel came up to her and sat with her then followed her, and so she took him home and named him Squirrelly. That was 4 years ago.

Jean: Male Collie named Zeus. He thought Zeus would be a cool awesome name for a dog. He also trained him to chase Eren on his command.

Reiner: Female Boxer he named Rocky. He also specifically tried to find one with unpinned ears and an undocked tail. He takes her on hikes all the time, and she loves them so much.

Bertholt: Male Ferret named Mozuku. He loved to eat Mozuku as a kid, so he named his Ferret after it. Sometimes really late at night he has a dance party with his Ferret, and he definitely has spent hours to teach his Ferret one trick.

Yumir: Female Tarantula named Fang. She loves to scare Reiner with her. Yumir also takes such good care of Fang you'd almost think she loves her more than Historia. It's to the point where if she's at home, she'll take Fang out of her enclosure and just have her on her shoulder while she does stuff like chores or watch TV.

Historia: Female Beagle named Poppy. She dresses her up, and they watch TV together all the time. Sometimes they have "hype moments" where Historia hypes up Poppy by saying stuff like "LETS GO, WE CAN DO IT!!!" and they do it for like 10 min. Poppy is also those dogs that know every trick in the book. Historia has even taught her how to backflip and do hand stands. Poppy can also do a handstand and walk in a handstand.

Petra: Female Norwegin Forest Cat named Camellia. Petra's the type of person who walks her cat, but she loves it. Gives her cat super good food. Literally the happiest cat you will ever meet. Also the sweetest cat ever. Super playful and soooo soft.

Oluo: Male Irish Wolfhound named Captain. Loud as hell. Literally the most talkative dog you will ever meet. Super sweet dog, just very talkative. Also, if you put a bowl of food out in front of him he'll eat like Oluo has been starving him for months. Genital giant. His dog is a literal giant, is not even funny.

(man standing next to dog for size reference on how tall this damn dog is)

Gunther: Female Albino Ferret named Xiomara. When he was looking at ferrets, the people working there told him how Xiomara was turned down for adoption so many times the owner wanted to claim her as "unadoptable", and he was confused when he heard the reason was because of how she looked. But he thought the contrast of her red eyes to her white fur looked super cool, so he adopted her and named her Xiomara, and she's been his best friend ever since. He takes her everywhere is loves her so much, it's adorable.

Eld: Female Duck Tolling Retriever named Penelope. She has total attachment issues. They're basically attached to each other. Eld is going to the bathroom? So is his dog. She also does so many tricks and is so polite. And she attends doggy daycare, and lets just say she may be the teacher's favorite.

Nifa: Female hamster named Sunny. She's a total troublemaker. The food she's eating? Stole it right off Nifas plate. She eats clothes if you don't pay attention to her, she's escaped her cage, she almost drowned herself because Nifa fed her 2 minutes late. If your finger gets too close to her mouth, she will bite you.

Abel: Male Brussels Griffin named Scrappy. Will eat ANYTHING. You left the toothpaste out? That's Scrappys toothpaste now. You forgot your shoes? NVM those are Scrappys shoes. Also wears dog shoes every time he goes out.

Keiji: Female Pointer named Coco. She is the sweetest dog ever. Super gentle, doesn't bite, doesn't scratch, not aggressive, while all the other dogs are outside play fighting Coco's right next to Keiji. Whether it's her laying on the floor, her laying next to him, or her laying on top of him, most of the time Coco is with Keiji. Sometimes he even puts her outside to play with the other dogs because he's so attached to him.

Tomas: Female Texas Heeler named Luna. She's also a super sweet dog. She's also very, very energetic. If you get up even for one second, she'll get so excited. Luna's one of those dogs that will not stop spinning in circles. And every time you see her, she's panting as if she just ran the longest dog marathon ever. If you ask Tomas what she's like when they get home, it's normally the same story how she just is so exhausted she can't do anything.

Nannaba: Female Ferret named Phoebe. Very very energetic and loves to do tricks. She will climb everything. Walls? Climb. Fence? Climb. Furniture? Clime. YOU? CLIMB. Loves cuddling so much, she gets pissed if you get up while she's asleep. Also eats hair. She even eats Nannabas hair, and she has pretty short hair. One time in the winter Miche was growing out a beard for a dare and Phoebe started eating it while he was staying the night at Nannabas.

Gelger: Male rat named Rocket. Rocket is the craziest laziest rat ever. Sometimes Gelger has to hand feed Rocket his food cause he's too tired to get up, then 5 min later he's running around all over the place and sliding everywhere. He also poops soooo much. Gelger even took him to the vet once because he got nervous that something was wrong with Rocket because of how often and how much he would poop. Turns out he just poops a lot. When they go to other peoples houses Gelger has to put Rocket in a diper because hes worried about him pooping everywhere.

Henning: Male Cane Corso named Butch. When he adopted Butch he wanted a Cane Corso that still had it's tail and who didn't have cropped ears. Butch is so scary when you first meet him, but then he becomes the most lovable dog ever. He gives the sloberist kisses and is always drooling, but that's ok. Super strong. He's knocked over the whole barbecue grill before.

Lynne: Female Rabbit named Daisy. The sweetest bunny you will ever meet omg. She never gets in the way of anything and is even potty trained. She always shows off her tricks and is very proud of it. One time she even did a back flip but got scared when everyone cheered. Very unpridectible. One time it was getting late and everyone realized they haven't seen Daisy for a while so everyone was freaking out and when they checked outside Daise was sitting on top of an Opossum.

for a quicker fun fact did u know the eclectus parrot is the most dimorphic species in the world and originally scientists thought the male and female were entirely separate species. the way they mate is that the female goes up into the trees and carves out a nest (or fights an older female for one). sticks her bright red head out. the male sees her and feeds her a bunch of his regurgitated food. multiple males feed her and also get to smash. whoever she likes the best she lets impregnate her. girlboss. anyways she lays eggs and stays in the tree like pretty much 24/7 and all she eats and all the babies eat is this guy’s throwup

11 Parrot Myths and Misconceptions You Should Know About

While exotic pets, such as birds, are continuing to grow in popularity, the average pet owner probably still doesn’t know as much about them as they do cats or dogs. This can cause issues if, say, one purchases a parrot without the correct information regarding their personality, traits, or care. To help prevent this from happening to you, check out this article, where we examine 11 parrot myths and misconceptions.

The 11 Myths and Misconceptions About Parrots

1. All Parrots Can Talk Image Credit: tristan tan, Shutterstock If your main motivation for getting a parrot is to have a talking pet, there’s a chance you could be disappointed in the results. While most parrots have the ability to talk, that doesn’t mean they will use it. Some parrots just never learn how, or if they do, choose not to say anything. Some species, like African gray parrots, are generally more likely to talk than others, but there’s no scientific evidence of why this occurs. If you have your heart set on a talking parrot, look into adopting an adult bird with confirmed talking ability. Local animal shelters or exotic bird rescues are good places to start. 2. Parrots Don’t Need Much Attention A common myth for many exotic pets, including parrots, is that they don’t need as much attention as a dog or cat. People may purchase a parrot as a pet hoping they can do the bare minimum to keep them healthy. They may assume that as long as the bird has food, water, and a clean cage, it will be happy. Parrots are intelligent and social birds who need attention and human interaction regularly. A parrot won’t be happy spending all day in its cage with no exercise or enrichment. Unhappy parrots can develop physical and emotional issues. 3. Only Male Parrots Talk Image Credit: JillLang, Shutterstock This myth probably stems from the reality that male parrot species are naturally more vocal in the wild because it’s part of how they attract mates. However, both male and female parrots have the same ability to produce sounds and words. With some species, it may just take more time and patience to coax these vocalizations out of a female. For example, parakeets and cockatiel males tend to have a broader range of sounds than females. Other species, such as the African gray, has no such difference between sexes. Either can learn to talk, although as we mentioned earlier, not all of them will. 4. Parrots Have Vocal Cords We know that humans can produce words because they have vocal cords—so, parrots must be the same, right? Actually, parrots don’t have vocal cords, despite their often impressive ability to mimic human speech. Human vocal cords function with the larynx to produce speech. Birds like parrots use a different structure called the syrinx, located in the trachea. As air moves through this structure, the bird’s vocal tract manipulates the resulting vibrations to create the talking sounds that imitate human speech. 5. Parrots Only Live in Tropical Locations Image Credit: KenWongYL, Shutterstock Parrots are often depicted living in the jungle in books and pictures. Because of this, many people assume that they only live in tropical locations, but this is a myth. Yes, many parrot species are native to hot and humid climates, but you’ll also find them in more moderate ecological zones. Some also live in the foothills of mountain ranges like the Himalayas and Andes, including above the snow line. One endangered parrot species, the kea, lives exclusively in alpine climates in New Zealand. 6. Parrots are Dirty Not only parrots, but many pet birds have a reputation for being dirty. A healthy, well-cared- for parrot actually spends a lot of time on its appearance. They groom themselves just like cats do. Many parrots can even learn to keep their waste contained in one corner of their cage. Some parrots do make a bit of a mess while eating, but that’s just part of the process. The birds themselves shouldn’t be dirty unless they aren’t being properly cared for. 7. Caging a Parrot is Cruel Image Credit: Mylene2401, Pixabay While it is a myth that parrots can spend all their time in their cage, it also isn’t true that caging them at all is cruel. Parrots definitely need daily time out of their cage and will certainly appreciate the space if you can provide them with an aviary. However, they also like having a safe space to rest and feel protected, just like a dog with a crate. In the wild, parrots will have a designated nesting space, and they’ll jealously guard their territory. Proper use of a cage allows them to follow this instinct. 8. Parrots Only Eat Seeds Wild parrots eat a variety of plant material, including seeds, fruit, nuts, and even farmer’s crops. Pet parrots should never eat only seeds because they don’t provide proper nutrition and can lead to obesity. A pellet diet is preferred, supplemented by safe fruits and vegetables. Seeds should only make up about 20–40% of a balanced diet. Offer a variety of seeds and nuts so your parrot can’t just pick out a few favorites that may not have the nutritional value you’re looking for. 9. Parrots Don’t Understand What You Say to Them Image Credit: Veera, Shutterstock It can be hard to understand a parrot when it talks, but it’s a myth that your parrot doesn’t understand what you’re saying to them. A famous bird researcher named Irene Pepperberg has conducted decades of studies showing that many parrots have intellectual abilities similar to a 5 or 6 year old human child. They can learn shapes and understand the words for familiar objects. The word “parrot” may mean to mindlessly repeat back speech, but many of these birds operate on a much higher playing field than that. 10. Parrots Don’t Express Their Feelings Even parrots that don’t talk aren’t an emotional void. Humans are used to vocal expressions of feelings and emotions, but parrots have many other ways to let you know what’s going on in their heads. Body language and vocalizations like whistles, screeches, and chattering are all ways that parrots communicate their feelings with each other and with humans. Though you’ll need to learn from experience and research how to interpret parrot behavior, you can be sure they usually aren’t shy about expressing themselves. 11. Parrots Can Live to be Over 100 Years Old According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest member of the parrot species was a cockatoo named Cookie who died at nearly 83 years old. Unconfirmed rumors suggest that at least one parrot in the world did live more than 100 years, but this is not common. Parrots do tend to live far longer than dogs and cats, for an average of 50 years for large species—like the macaw, for example. Clearly, making a lifetime commitment to a parrot is a much bigger deal than it is for other pets.

Conclusion

As you can see, many common beliefs about parrots are nothing more than myths or misconceptions. Unfortunately, many people bring exotic pets home because they like the way they look, without properly educating themselves about the level of care involved. Given how long many parrot species live (not quite 100 years, but still a long time), committing to a pet you don’t fully understand is likely to end badly for the bird. Many parrot species make wonderfully social and entertaining pets, but you ought to know what you’re getting into before welcoming one into your home.

Burn Without You Chapter 26

Now lets light a match and set this dumpster on fire! Woo! Also I felt so incredibly obvious for the reveal in this chapter. Like I really need to work on my ‘called it, saw it coming a mile away’ and ‘how did I NOT see that coming?!’ level of reveals. My writing is still a work in progress, like all art forms. Practice makes perfect. Practice practice practice. 

Burn Without You 

Chapter 26

The next morning Bature was the first to call and offer his apologies for the acts of his ambassador as Bature insisted that Ersin was acting alone and that Bature would never dream of sabotaging Maisarra’s happiness but did confirm that you had told him about your efforts to hunt Haydar down and told Maisarra that he had to be double faced with you- that what he told Rasime and Haydar’s siblings was true and that he was offering them refuge in Tahir and had sent his own men to intercept your own mercenaries to confuse them and throw them off the trail or pay them a higher price to work with his own to bring Haydar and Rasime safely to Tahir and even told her that his men felt that they had found them and that they were currently being brought to him in Tahir and that Haydar would have an honorable place in his army out of respect for Maisarra’s wishes that Bature would not harm him but that he thought Haydar would like to have a use and that Rasime would like a break from having to be pimped out by Haydar to get enough money to survive- just trying to make a living and trying to save up money to make it to a colony and Maisarra had never been more grateful to Bature for his efforts and for respecting her and her wishes and the worst part was- he called Maisarra first thing in the morning, even while she was still in pajamas and a robe and nothing else but told Maisarra to keep it a secret from everyone else because he didn’t want to lose your trust in the process of respecting Maisarra’s wishes so Maisarra agreed to keep it a secret just between them. 

Bature then called you an hour later to confirm that Ersin had acted alone and never under his orders, however did tell you that he thought he found Haydar and Rasime, they never made it out of the port city and never got to a colony. That Haydar had pimped his sister out to try to save up money to make it to a colony but their sentimental attachment to their jewelry and other items had been too strong for them to sell them and had helped Rasime fetch a higher price for each “service” she performed. But that Bature’s men were taking them directly to him and that he would deal with them for you- so that from Maisarra’s perspective you would not have their blood on your hands or thier lives on your conscience but that his own conscience demanded justice for what evils they had called down upon Maisarra and that Serhan along with her sisters and Merrattah’s sisters would demand their execution as soon as they would come because of the vulture feathers at Serhan’s Cisora which you were thankful and grateful that he succeeded where you had felt and that you were going to claim that ‘your mercenaries came back empty handed and had not found them and that it was a lost cause and you were going to take the loss and not pursue them further’ which would hopefully get you some forgiveness from Maisarra. 

And later that day when you had a private word with Maisarra about how you called off your mercenaries because you didn’t want to wound Maisarra any more than she already had been- she seemed happy and relieved to accept your apology and try to mend the break as more ale and wine was being tested and bought by the cask from every merchant who readily had any as Hayati was especially careful and stationed guards on all the food and wine so that only the verified and vetted kitchen staff had access to anything. 

Meanwhile Seyda made yet another interesting discovery. 

“My Lady.” She prompted as she was getting you dressed the next day. 

“Yes?” You asked. 

“I found something interesting very early this morning.” Seyda prompted. 

“Interesting how?” You asked, intrigued as you could tell by Seyda’s tone that it was something that piqued her interest. 

“So I ran the numbers of the water coming from the skyland.” Seyda began. 

“And?” You asked.

“And the numbers don’t add up, the water coming from the skyland has always produced the same rate and same amount of water since we came and after measuring it all ever since we got here, we have sufficient data to run calculations and projections. The water coming from the skyland only accounts for roughly two thirds of the water flowing through the pipes in the fortress and the rate and pressure of all the pipes- there has to be another water source besides the skyland in the tower. And what’s more- is when I went looking- I found that the chamber isn’t completely cut off and sealed from the rest of the fortress besides the door and when I took a stoned guard down with me in the deepest parts of the fortress, what we found is there is a pipe of water- coming directly out of the underside the chamber, and when I measured the water coming from that that very large and very full pipe it accounted for the other third of the water here in Yekmeni, however, when I tested it- it was slightly different composition than the water coming from the skyland in the tower, in fact the water in the skyland has certain minerals, and the other water from that third pipe had different minerals, and when the two combine- it creates the practically perfect water we get in the plumbing, because of the ratio when mixed, I had always thought that the mineral difference was because of the metal that they used to direct the water, but that wasn’t it either.” Seyda revealed. 

“So there’s a second piece of skyland- that is in the chamber itself. Which means that the mechanism is powering two pieces of skyland, one in the tower, and the other right beneath it.” You concluded. 

“Or- most likely, the fact that we didn't see the progress Ashurah made on the door- is because there most likely are another set of mechanisms in the chamber itself, which means even if the two in the upper chamber are destroyed, the ones in the lower chamber will be just fine and it was probably the second electrical mechanism that has helped Ashurah solve and slowly open the door. Because if that happens, while the fortress will lose two thirds of its water- it won’t lose water altogether. And what’s more, is if anything were to happen to the skyland’s water supply there are a series of valves that are open that keep the two water sources to mix and if someone were to say- poison the water in the skyland or at least threaten to, all that would need to be done is turn a valve and the water in the skyland will not go into the plumbing, but rather will have no choice but to go back up the main pipe, overflow the tower and create a waterfall from the tower until whatever would poison the water in the tower could either be washed away or whatever the need may be.” Seyda informed you. 

“So we need to have someone at the valves.” You realized.

“I figured you’d say that, Basri already has someone on it as does Krich.” Seyda informed you. 

“Thank you so much for anticipating this and seeing to it.” You thanked her. 

“You’re welcome. I figured you’d be ok with your breakfast being just a little later than usual in light of this.” Seyda grinned. 

“Lukher and I barely noticed it’s tardiness, we are still recovering from…well, everything.” You admitted. 

“Oh and I heard that a merchant is coming tonight with more than enough wine to replace what was poisoned while another is bringing the best ale ever brewed in the Brighway Line, straight from Veda, both will be here by sunset tonight and Hayati will to it that nothing happens to this batch this time.” Seyda informed you. 

“And no other threats to anything else being poisoned?” You asked. 

“No, but the wedding should be cleared to happen the day after tomorrow. Even now the animals are being slaughtered in the thousands and their meat is being spiced, seaonsed and marinated to go on the fires and with everything that happened with Ersin, everyone is still on high alert.” Seyda reported. 

“Any way Bature would crash the wedding?” You asked her. 

“Nope, he is still in Tahir and has no access to any animal who could fly him here fast enough. Serhan, if she were to transform into a missile hawk, she might be able to make it, but even she couldn’t fly him here all on her own.” Seyda insisted as he finished fixing your hair while you picked out your jewelry for this ensemble. 

Meanwhile Auralu knew that if Bature was going to make a move, he should be doing so soon. And it was getting down the wire. She had bought him all the time she could but with all the wine and ale coming in today and the feast still underway, she couldn’t use the same ruse as last time and if Bature didn’t act quickly, he was going to lose his window and she could lose everything. Because while she had to play her hand early. If Maisarra couldn’t be swept away, she couldn’t move forward but she had what she needed. 

She had only been able to save enough poison to poison three bottles of wine, two of them heavy the last one was light enough that it would put Daon into a deep sleep, not quite a coma but at least out for 12 or so hours, that would give Maisarra enough time to fly away on Auralu’s own griffin who she had to slyly keep in the stables and her own saddle prepped for the journey by Auralu herself, doing so slowly enough that no one seemed to notice. And if Maisarra couldn’t get away, she needed her own escape to be prepared. Because if she wasn’t going to be Dowager Clan Chieftess, Rubati and Davkee wouldn’t get a chance either and she could always find a way to be useful to any of the other clans in the interior, especially the ones in the mountain fortress in the interior. Surely they would take her in for what she knew. She had copies of the plans for the mechanisms and any of those clans would give her a comfortable life in exchange for them. Granted she wouldn’t be Dowager Clan Chieftess but it would be better than living here after the rest of the plan went into effect. 

One of the heavily poisoned bottles of wine had to go to Thobin and Sunco though because they were the second biggest threat to her plan. And because while Sunco could be saved by a healing stone, Thobin wouldn’t be because of that exit ceremony, or so she understood. She needed Ashurah to give up her legion to Maisarra first and surely Krich would go with that legion which meant the others who stayed behind would need to either be turned completely into robots or go into autopilot or something and of course would have to be spread really thin. 

“It’s going to be ok.” The male parrot insisted from his spot on top of the cage- preening his feathers. 

“But what if something goes wrong? What if they can’t make it in time? I would be murdered if you carry out the plan.” Auralu fretted as she paced in her room. 

“Don’t worry, you will be safe, no one would dare harm you unless they wanted the entire clan to die. The fortress can only go so long without water. Without water- no life.” The female parrot insisted. 

“But if Bature doesn’t call them by tonight or tomorrow night at the very latest- we can’t go through with it. We have too much to lose, we’ve already played our best cards, all we have is this one last chance and if Bature can’t claim it, I will lose everything I’ve built up over the last twenty years and have to wait at least another four to five months to get another opportunity and I don’t want to wait and see if when that happens, we might get dealt worse cards than before because if Warad can not secure a taunston bride, then all is lost because he is my only other son and Rubati still has two more after Irelu and then it’s Davkee’s sons. And if Warad can’t do his job and secure one of the taunston brides, I’m finished.” Auralu realized. 

“How?” The female parrot asked curiously. 

“Because I spent all of Kingu’s life preparing for him to take a moura bride from Dorierra, and Lukher to get one as well. I had hoped that Kingu’s wife would be prettier than she was smart and would have fallen into a trap easily so I could put Lukher and his wife on the throne and then when Lukher did find his moura wife, at first I was so happy that she was perfect. She had the right pedigree, and lineage, she had the right disposition. She showed so much promise. And then when she was uncollared, that completely fucked up everything and then when she did get a collar it fucked things up even worse and I never would have thought that we would be enemies and having Rubati as competition has been nothing compared the competition and the fight Audrey is giving me. I thought she would be so eager to befriend me and do all she could to curry favor with me to gain Lukher’s trust and love and the rest of the family’s. But instead she has opposed me and exposed me and gotten all of the family’s love, respect and loyalty anyway. I am the Clan Chieftess, I was supposed to have all the power until that bitch could get any until she would give birth to her second son five years from now, but instead she came in here and stripped me of my power in just a couple of weeks and taken all of my money with it.” Auralu growled angrily, wishing she was part moura so she could burn you to ash. 

“And by exposing me in the worst possible light and instead of loving and wanting power, she loves Lukher more than all of it and she practically gives all the money and power away and delegates things instead of hoarding it like I thought she would and nothing I can throw at her seems to hit or phase her except Maisarra and Thobin, those are her only weaknesses I can touch and even they are heavily guarded and even now, I can’t get to either of them. And it’s just extremely frustrating because the longer Maisarra and Thobin are here, the closer everyone gets to figuring out the bigger plan and if they do, the last twenty years of preparation will be lost and for naught.” Auralu grouched.  

“And so far no one can find any fault in Audrey and she keeps herself above the fray. Lukher has completely cut me off from him and now to regain power I have to do the unthinkable but if I am to realize my life long goal, Warad is my best option. And he’s practically a halfwit. Kingu was born with all the brains, Lukher was born with all the heart, Irelu was born with all the zest for life, and Warad? He has always lived in his brother’s shadows, I think he would be scared of his own if he were to actually step out into the light. And that is even if he can secure one of the taunston girls, which aren’t even here yet. I would feel so much better about this if Ashurah had brought a sister or someone with her, instead of her whole family and all the others choosing to take the long way here and won’t be here for another three to four months and that might as well be an eternity if Bature can’t make his move soon, because if he can’t do so tonight or by the very latest, tomorrow night- I will have to wait until the other taunstons get here and pray and hope that Warad gets over his own shyness and actually likes one of them enough to want to marry them and put them on the throne with him. Which is looking more and more like a long shot.” Auralu complained as she ran her fingers through her hair and scratched at her scalp. 

“Don’t worry Goddess, Bature should call tonight, everything will go according to plan. Don’t worry, we will take care of you the way you have taken care of us.” The male consoled. 

“Thank you sweetheart, it’s so sad, you’re just a pair of parrots, yet it feels like you’re my only friends in the world.” Auralu offered them as she pet them both affectionately. 

“Now stop eating your eggs, I want more of you in my life.” Auralu insisted. 

“Yes Goddess.” The female offered as she gave the male a subtle wink.

Sure enough, by sunset, all the wine and ale had been replaced and everything was under heavy guard and things progressed and just as Auralu was about to panic, Bature finally made his call. 

“Bature, why are you calling me?” Maisarra asked curiously as she was about to sit down to dinner. 

“I wanted to call to let you know that Haydar and Rasime have been found.” Bature informed her. 

“And?” Maisarra asked. 

“I could not keep Serhan from recognizing them and attacking them. She is still incensed that Rasime gave her vulture feathers and considering they still call down evil upon you and have since called down evil upon me for accepting Yekmeni’s weapons, my harem insists I kill them. I can not do anything but comply. I’m sorry, I thought I could offer them some safety, but I can not save them from my Sultana Supreme, they will be put to death tomorrow morning by beheading. Serhan along with her sisters and Merrattah’s sisters are demanding Haydar and Rasime’s heads served to them on platters.” Bature broke it to her apologetically. 

“No! NO!!” Maisarra screamed and cried at the top of her lungs as Auralu watched the scene from her master messengerari and smiled happily and breathed in relief when Bature had followed through and called tonight and the sounds of Maisarra’s screams prompted those in the vicinity to react as Auralu watched as Daon, Thobin, Sunco as well as yourself and Lukher all rushed into the room. 

“What?!” You asked as it was clear you had run the whole way to her suite before Auralu watched as Bature repeated the news to them and then showed what Auralu could only assume was the best copies of Haydar and Rasime he could find, dressed in the same clothes that Haydar and Rasime had been seen last wearing, complete with the same jewelry and they looked like they had been beaten half to hell and their faces really were beaten and swollen to the point that they were practically unrecognizable before she heard Irelu and Ashurah rush past her room before she poked her head out and made a particular whistle that got Ashurah’s attention as Ashurah stopped following Irelu and come into Auralu’s room. 

“What’s going on?” Ashurah asked as Auralu pointed to her screen as Ashurah gasped when she saw them as Maisarra begged for Haydar’s life to be spared at least but Bature had to break it to her that his hands were proverbiallly tied, and that he could not dissappoint his Sultana Supreme Serhan. And that if she had chosen to be his Sultana Supreme, she may have had a chance to save their lives but Serhan was making it impossible to do anything but put them to death as Ashurah could see Maisarra’s heart break all over again and began to rub against her chest where her heart was as Ashurah recognized the signs of heartbreak sickness. 

“Oh no, if Haydar is put to death, Maisarra could be in danger of dying of a broken heart again.” Ashurah realized.

“And that would devastate Audrey completely. We need to help poor Maisarra. What could we do?” Auralu asked to see if Ashurah could think of anything. 

“Find a way to get Maisarra there, if Maisarra could take a griffin, fly straight there, she would have to fly right over Wakanear but if she left in the next few hours, she could fly at maximum speed and get there in time to save them, load them up on the griffin and drop them off at a colony or something.” Ashurah realized. 

“But Daon will make sure that Maisarra’s griffins would be grounded and Maisarra couldn’t take her own griffin, but I could always offer her mine, do you think she would take it if I offered it to her?” Auralu asked Ashurah hopefully.  

“She would need a lot more than that. She would need a legion to protect her. I got it! I could give her my tethering stone, give her my legion, all we would need is to trade tethering stones, and if she took my legion and your griffin, she could do it.” Ashurah realized. 

“But what about Daon? Wouldn’t he keep her here too?” Auralu pointed out. 

“Not if he was either really drunk or..put to sleep, like, knocked out cold for…long enough for Maisarra to make a get a clean get away.” Ashurah insisted. 

“How? All of Audrey’s poisons or anything remotely dangerous was destroyed, we don’t have anything.” Auralu pointed out. 

“Not necessarily, Audrey’s house on wheels wasn’t the only place with a hidden apothecary and poison bar, mine was too. Let them talk it out, give me just ten minutes, I can mix something up that will just affect Daon, put him to sleep soundly enough but not impact Maisarra and she can fuck him to sleep and then when he wakes up, her tethering stone will be on me, her griffin will still be here and Daon won’t know until she’s long gone that she left in the first place. We have to do this to save Maisarra’s life, Audrey won’t be happy but she’ll forgive me.” Ashurah insisted as she immediately left and practically ran down to the elevator to get to her little house on wheels as quickly as she could as she opened up her own poison bar and made a concoction, put it into a syringe and then went to the wine cellar and got a bottle of wine and then in Auralu’s room measured the dosage and injected it through the wax and the cork before she took a match and remelted the wax as Auralu gave her very discrete order to have her griffin ready as her parrots told Auralu that they would be her eyes and ears around the fortress as Auralu was too enraptured by the argument that was being had in Maisarra’s room to notice both parrots took four bottles of poison they had made and stowed away in a high place Auralu could never have seen or known they were there. 

Meanwhile you were trying to console Maisarra who was sobbing into your chest as you tried to tell her that she needed to accept the situation as it was. That there was nothing that could be done before you suggested that Daon stay with her overnight because surely he would make sure she wouldn’t leave as you ordered for Maisarra’s griffin and Daon’s to be grounded and stay in their nest in the cliffside as you had to post a guard at the nest entrance so that Maisarra couldn’t try to fly to Tahir and intervene as Daon agreed and went to his own room to get clothes so that he could move into the suite of rooms with Maisarra just a couple of days early before Ashurah waited until Daon left. 

“Audrey, get some rest, I’ll stay with her until Daon returns. There’s nothing more that can be done.” Ashurah offered to you.  

“Please, just go.” Maisarra pleaded pittifully as she embraced Ashurah before you reluctantly left with Lukher and went back into your own rooms as Auralu was already in the stables, in her riding leathers and insisted she wanted an evening ride on her griffin- Takeshi as Auralu’s male parrot gave another moura in bird form in the skyland’s tower one of the bottles before he flew off again and once Ashurah knew the door was shut and knew that no one could overhear them she pulled away from Maisarra. 

“Ok, I have a plan on how to get you out of here.” Ashurah whispered to Maisarra as Maisarra gasped. 

“Ok so, Audrey’s house on wheels wasn’t the only place that had a poison bar, I only put deep sleep into this wine, it will knock Daon out but it shouldn’t affect you other than to boost your adrenaline so you can stay up and fly all night. I talked to Auralu, and she’s getting her griffin ready to go on an evening ride and once Daon is out, go out to your balcony and waive Auralu over and she will land her griffin on your balcony, get your leathers on, and just grab your essentials and get on and ride. But to be safe, once Daon is out, let me know, I’ll be waiting in the hall for you, I’ll trade tethering necklaces with you. You can take my legion with you for safety because I know Audrey won’t give up hers but I know I’m not in danger here but you are. I can’t see my best friends sister die of a broken heart, Audrey will be pissed with me in the morning as will Daon but Auralu and Irelu can both protect me from anything Audrey or Daon or even Lukher would want to throw at me.” Ashurah insisted. 

“Thank you so much Ashurah!” Maisarra cried before Ashurah produced the bottle of wine she had hidden underneath her voluminous cleavage as Maisarra took it and immediately opened it and poured two glasses full just in time for Daon to come back as Ashurah gave Maisarra a wink and a small nod before she helped unload Daon’s things from his arms. 

“Daon- I’m afraid for Maisarra, I saw what was happening on Auralu’s master because when Auralu heard Maisarra’s screaming, she- simply out of concern simply watched the call and she doesn’t want Maisarra to suffer or for Audrey to suffer if anything happened to Maisarra over this. So I went down to my own little apothecary in my little house on wheels and I put an herbal blend together and put it in the wine, it will ease and calm both of you but most importantly it will put you both into a deep, sound sleep. For at least ten to twelve hours. And then when Maisarra will wake up- she really will be too far away and not even if she transformed into a missile hawk would she be able to fly there fast enough to intervene. I agree that she needs to be kept here for her own safety. I’m just trying to help. I know Audrey will be angry with me that I technically drugged you and Maisarra, but I don’t know what else to do right now.” Ashurah offered to Daon as Maisarra was getting ready for bed in the bathroom while also secretly packing a go bag of toiletries and put the bag in the laundry hamper to keep Doan from seeing it as she decided to draw a hot bath because a hot bath would ease Daon’s body and wine with a bath would ease them both and if she had to fuck him to sleep, then that’s just what she had to do. 

“Thank you Ashurah.” Daon thanked her gratefully. 

“You’re welcome, it sounds like she’s drawing a bath, make sure neither of you fall asleep in the bath, don’t want either of you to drown.” Ashurah hinted. 

“I got it. I got a pretty high tolerance, I’ll make sure to put her into bed.” Daon reassured Ashurah before she saw herself out and went directly to Thobin’s room. 

“Hey.” Thobin greeted when he saw who was on the other side. 

“Hey, so I just dropped off a bottle of wine with Deep Sleep in it at Maisarra’s room, I wanted her and Daon to get some good sleep tonight, and so that when Maisarra would wake up in oh, about ten or twelve hours, even if she wanted to transform into a missile hawk, she wouldn’t be able to fly and intervene. But I wanted you to know what I did. I already told Daon about it so he knows to expect to feel drowsy after he drinks it. Maisarra will most likely think it’s just emotional exhaustion. But just in case Audrey finds out I technically drugged her sister, I wanted you to know, Audrey and Maisarra might forgive me if you��” Ashurah. 

“Vouched for you. I will.” Thobin offered. 

“Do you have any more of that? Cause I wouldn’t say no to some myself.” Sunco offered from around Thobin, dressed only in a robe to conceal her nakedness.

“Sure, just give me a minute, I’ll be right back.” Ashurah offered before she left and went back to the room to see Auralu had emptied the syringe. 

“What happened to…” 

“Oh I figured Audrey and Lukher would want some good sleep so I put the same amount you did into this bottle for them.” Auralu answered as she offered the heavily poisoned wine to Ashurah. 

“Actually it’s going to Sunco and Thobin. I hope it’s strong enough for them.” Ashurah admitted. 

“Oh I’m sure it’s fine, besides there was just a tiny bit left in the syringe, so I put what was left of it into this bottle for you and Irelu. It shouldn’t harm the baby right?” Auralu asked as she offered Ashurah to bottle of wine that the rest of the deep sleep in it. 

“No, it won’t. Thank you Auralu, I’m so sorry you and Audrey got off on the wrong foot, I wish she could know the you that I know. You’re so sweet and thoughtful. I know you never meant to sabotage her or anything. But I’m sure slowly but surely, you two can learn to see the good in each other.” Ashurah offered gratefully. 

“Me too. I know she loves her family just as I do. I’m sure after Maisarra’s wedding we can put our distrust away from each other.” Auralu offered. 

“The fact that you’re even willing to try means a lot. Good night Auralu and have fun on your flight.” Ashurah winked as Auralu was putting a map of Tahir and the ocean that was between Yekmeni and Tahir into her riding suit’s pocket to give to Maisarra. 

“And you sleep good too.” Auralu offered as she practically strut out of her own room in her riding leathers, a smug and pleased grin on her lips as Ashurah dropped off the heavily drugged wine off to Thobin and Sunco and brought her own to her room and Irelu’s room to enjoy a good fuck and a good sleep. 

Meanwhile Maisarra had stripped down naked and had pulled Daon to lay in her bathtub and had carefully eased down, the blood of her maidenhood tearing not being so potent because Deep Sleep always came with a natural pain inhibitor and while the water only stained pink for a moment, the aphrodesiac incense burning in the room and in the bath oil was practically overwhelming the couple as Maisarra was finally having sex with Daon and while she was enjoying it physically, all she could feel emotionally was hope that this damn wine would kick in sooner than later and then she orgasmed a few moments later and Daon did as well.  When they recovered, they quenched their thirst by drinking the rest of the wine, both of them ignoring the rather medicinal taste of it as Maisarra felt her body was fighting it and infact had done the opposite- as Ashurah intended for her- and the affect in her body was to pump her body full of adrenaline to keep her awake while Daon fully welcomed the relaxation in his body as Maisarra feigned drowsiness. 

“We should get into bed, don’t want to drown in the bathtub.” Maisarra urged him. 

“Yep, on it.” Daon insisted as he had to fight to drain the tub and barely made it to bed, his steps stumbling and his speech starting to slur as Maisarra slipped into the bed with him and waited until he was fully out and snoring before she tried to move and Daon didn’t move before Maisarra, out of curiosity, picked his arm up and let it fall to the bed as the motion didn’t have any affect on Daon, it was as if his body was dead. 

“I’m so sorry Daon, but I have to do this. I’ll be back as soon as I can, I love you.” Maisarra whispered as she gave him one last kiss as her tears dropped onto his face before she got out of bed and quickly got dressed in a few layers, first comfortable clothes, then her dragon scale armor and then her riding leathers and packed only a couple of changes of clothes and a bunch of money to give to Rasime and Haydar so they could make a start in a colony. Even though her sense was screaming at her to stay and that this was a trap, her heart begged and pleaded for her to save Haydar and right now, her heart was screaming louder than her brain was as she quickly packed a bag and put her toiletries in it before she poked her head out of her door to see Ashurah pacing outside since the Deep Sleep had the same affect on her, it put Irelu to sleep but it pumped Ashurah full of adrenaline before they traded tethering necklaces before Maisarra went to her messengerari and called Bature and told him that she was coming and would make a deal for Haydar’s life before she ended the call and went to the balcony and saw Auralu flying nearby and when Maisarra waived at her Auralu landed her griffin Takeshi on Maisarra’s balcony. 

“This is Takeshi, Takeshi- this is Maisarra, fly her wherever she wants to go, fly as fast and far as you can.” Auralu said to her griffin before she handed Maisarra the map and the reins. 

“Oh and there’s some supplies in her luggage, just in case you forgot anything.” Auralu offered as she nodded to the two trunks of adani mineral as promised to Bature. 

“Thank you Auralu. Tell Audrey that I asked and begged you for this and you took pity on me and let me have her to save my life, just in case Ashurah doesn’t convince her enough.” Maisarra offered. 

“Will do, good luck, I know how hard and how long a first love can leave your soul aching. Hell it’s been over twenty years and I could probably trace my first love’s face on paper if I wanted to. Fly safe Maisarra.” Auralu offered. 

“Will do.” Maisarra nodded as she climbed into the saddle and Takeshi took off in the general direction of Tahir before Auralu noticed Ashurah’s legion soon took to the skies and followed her before Auralu chuckled darkly as she saw Daon passed out and practically helpless in his bed but knew he would need to play his part when he awoke so she couldn’t harm him right now as she walked past him and then slipped out of Daon’s room and said her goodnights to Ashurah as Ashurah was drinking another elixer- one that for normal people would keep them awake, but for mouras, would be like Deep Sleep so that Ashurah wouldn’t be awake all night and could go back to her room with Irelu unnoticed. 

“What the hell are you doing?” Krich asked as he flew his own griffin and caught up with Maisarra. 

“I’m going to Tahir to save Haydar, if you try to stop me I’ll turn into a pheonix and burn your griffins and you’ll fall to the ocean. So you can either do that, or come with me and protect me all the same. Your choice.” Maisarra insisted. 

“Gods damn you girl, fine.” Krich, grouched as he made a motion for the others to fly in formation around Maisarra protectively as they flew towards Wakanear and then, just as they would be flying over it, suddenly a fog appeared and in the fog they were all attacked by a pack of birds, all of the talons tipped in poison as they used their tallons to attack the orc’s faces, pulling their mouths open and slashing the inside of their cheeks and their nostrils as they even pricked the griffins as even Maisarra couldn’t fight this drug as suddenly she felt like she and her griffins were now flying down and practically spiralling as all the orcs- including Thobin were knocked out and only in their saddles thanks to being secured into their saddles as Auralu’s parrots transformed into their real selves as did all the others as they guided Maisarra, her legion and their griffins to Wakanear, or more importantly, to the ships around the main volvanic and sinking island as the last thing she saw before she passed out was..Haydar’s face, smiling wolfishly at her. 

“Haydar?” Maisarra managed to ask as she struggled to stay awake. 

“Well hello Sarah, you and I have some unfinished business, but it can wait, so shh, sleep.” He cooed to her before Maisarra fell into an unconscious state and passed out in the saddle just before Takeshi practically crashed onto the deck of a pirate ship. 

“Tie her to a barrel and put collars and weights on the griffins to keep them from flying away until tomorrow.” Haydar insisted. 

“Yes Sir.” The pirates agreed and did as he asked before Haydar put a silver collar around Maisarra’s neck, right under the moura collar, having to take off her helmet to do so as she was bound and tied to the barrel of fresh water. The silver collar was magicked to inhibit the moura gold collar and came with a wonderful twist that would keep Haydar and Maisarra in control of the situation at all times. 

“Now, let’s them have one last night of peaceful sleep. I can’t wait to see everyone’s faces when they realize all of them are about to lose everything they hold dear.” Rasime giggled gleefully as she got The Master of Master Messengeraries and programed it to show the whole truth to everyone when they would awake the next day, having learned Auralu’s keystrokes over the last month and invented a few of her own just for this occasion.

If this is the short of the owl tackling the other owl, then it should be noted that OWLS. ARE. NOT. CATS. OR. DOGS. OR. FERRETS.

They don’t play fight. At all. If they attack each other it’s genuine aggression, not a game. Full stop.

If it’s a different video let me know.

African grays are also among the least ethical birds you can own outside of poached endangered species. So. You know.

I have a gray African parrot, that always greets me with: Hi [my name] before proceeding to talk gibberish(he always did that when he wanted his treats). I have a big apartment in Manhattan, so the next time my family of parents, male twins and female twins had a dinner together, it would be in my apartment. The time my twin walked in, my parrot squawked his typical greeting from his cage. When I went to introduce my pet to my shook twin, my parrot began jumping up and down in his cage, screamed my name several times and started looking at me, then screaming my name and saying: that is [my name] but who is that? [looks at my twin and sings a lullaby]. He did that for a while, until my parents and the female twins wanted to see what he did next. Parrot was completely silent. I introduced him to my family and since he knew how family works and what a last name is, he looked at each of us and screamed: this is [my last name] hahahahaha, [gets to the next person] this is [last name] hahahahaha and so on. When sister 1 pulled out her phone, he screamed, I AM ON TV HAHAHA HAHAHA I WANT MY CEREAL, PETE(his name) WANTS CEREAL HAHAHA HAHAHA. He doesn’t eat cereal.

This was yesterday. He has never done this before. Today, everything is normal. He did not ask questions. I did not teach him what a twin is yet. I am a little afraid how he will react.
