The rain stopped when the eagle chirped. Or rather, the rain ceased when Naren's figure passed through the clouds, and the gloomy sky showed light behind it, and the small light expanded and gradually revealed the whole sky. In the blue sky, there was no longer any haze to be seen, and the eagle shuttled between the rainbows, with undried droplets on its feathers. It didn't take long for the eagle to spot its target, so it gathered its wings from the air, swooped down quickly in the direction of the team, and spread its wings again in the eyes of the cheese and landed on Batuu.

"In shamanic traditions, shamans often see eagles and owls as carriers of their souls, believing that these large birds, which can fly to the limits of the sky, can send souls from our world to the world where the spirits are located or bring them back. So many times they are also seen as a sign of death or a symbol of the apocalypse. Among them, the eagle is mostly a good omen, and the owl is regarded as a bad omen because of its nocturnal habits. There are eagles landing on the roof of the felt house, which is a very happy thing for many grassland people. Unconsciously, Kairaz said what he knew, but his eyes were fixed on Naren.

"Don't look at it, the legend is true. Batuu is back, and it looks like he'll wake up soon, as long as he hasn't forgotten how to use his body. No one could see what he was saying, but Cheese, who had a magical vision, could clearly see the energy that transitioned from the eagle's body to Batuu's body. The energy felt familiar to him, which meant that the consciousness sent into the shell was nothing else, and it should indeed be Batu's consciousness, at least most of it.

Time passed in waiting, the rainbow in the sky was fading, and the rays of the sun brought a more natural warmth than the flames. The eagle crouched on the shepherd boy's chest, as if to hasten the latter's awakening in this way. Taking advantage of this time, Cheese and Lothar went to the neighborhood to investigate the quality of the river, and by the time they returned, it was nearly noon. The middle of the rainbow is no longer visible, only the ends of the sides still retain a slight amount of color.

"Some people say that there are two buckets of gold at the end of the rainbow, one on each side. As he withdrew his gaze from the rainbow, the Count said casually.

If it had been a day before, Cheese would have taken the legend of his companion very seriously, because he knew that the so-called rainbow was just a phenomenon formed by water vapor separating different colors of light in sunlight, and that there were many ways to achieve the same effect in both magic and non-magic when understanding this principle. But today, Cheese didn't do that, and he began to ask himself, was the rainbow he had made with the means he knew really a rainbow, or was it just a rainbow like a rainbow, and what had been lost?

"If you say that, I've heard people in some places say that it rains because the elves are crying, but I haven't seen anyone cry when it actually rains. Kairas shook his beard and stuck out his tongue to lick the water in the kettle. Thanks to the light rains, they don't have to rely on the unreliable river for their fresh water supply, at least the water that falls from the sky is always relatively clean.

"If what you're saying is true, it must be a goblin big enough to drown the plains with a single tear. Weak but clear voices came from behind them, and at Atta's exclamation of joy, Naren's companion opened his eyes. To everyone's surprise, the look in his eyes did not show any signs of weakening, even more than before.

"Congratulations, you can add something to the suffix of your name in the future, such as the one who returns from the eagle, or the one who slashes the giant worm. "The steppe people do have a habit of adding their exploits to their names as suffixes, but of course they don't really use such long suffixes, and generally reduce them to two or three syllables.

"No, I think the resurrected one is more suitable for him. Cheese continued Lothar's words, and with a slight flickering gaze he watched Batuu's mind, heart, and other important places, which would change if there was a change in one's inner being. Essence can be packaged, but the reason why it is called essence is that it cannot be changed and completely hidden.

Batu stroked Naren's feathers, his movements were light, as any deformation of the birds' feathers could affect their ability to fly. The falconer had to spend a considerable amount of time mastering how to express his feelings through body language with his winged companions. After he sat up, Naren jumped onto the former's shoulder, and it was worth noting that even without the special shoulder pads, the goshawk's talons did not pierce Batuu's clothing and skin. This has nothing to do with the bond between man and the eagle, because the eagle must use a certain amount of force to contract its claws in order to stand firm, and those who can do so without being hurt by their claws are often those who are favored by the spirit of the eagle.

"You're right, for a while, I thought I was dead. Batu didn't show any resistance when he talked about death, on the contrary, he seemed a little reluctant, "Actually, if Naren had found me a little later, I would have been born as a young eagle." But considering that it has to be stuffed into an egg, it's not bad now. ”

Several people looked at each other, wondering if Batu's brain was really okay. It didn't take long, though, for Cheese and Lothar to realize that the awakened companion wasn't talking nonsense, he was describing the afterlife. And no one is not curious about that world, because few people can enter that world and come back. In particular, Cheese and Lothar each have reasons to be curious about the world, the former because of their teacher, and the latter because of their wife. However, unlike the mage's complete acceptance of Batuu's claims, the Count could have encountered beings who claimed to be quite close to death when he was in Heartless Bay, and the death he described to him was not like this. Could it be that between Batu and that being, someone is lying?

"Hmph, it looks like you kid was chosen by those guys. The cat fairy's words drew everyone's attention to him, and listening to the meaning of the words, Kailas seemed to be no stranger to Batuu's experience, and his familiarity with the grasslands made one wonder if he knew something that even the person concerned could not tell. But while they were waiting for him to continue, Kairaz seemed to suddenly lose interest and stopped talking. From this point of view, the gap between cat fairies and cats is really not that big.

"Well, anyway, now Batu is awake. And it looks like it's in good shape. Do we have to reschedule our discussion last night?"

Cheese was silent for a moment, "Perhaps, but we'll have to get the horses first." If there is no place to get around here, there is no way to turn back to the Shale Department or the Water Antelope Department. ”

"Hmm... If I'm looking for a horse, I might have a solution. ”
