Day 078: Trouble Finding Food
Normally it only took Athvor ten to twenty minutes to find something to eat. His eagle like eyesight would allow him to spot prey from miles away. This new land was different though. There was nothing to see.
Every time he thought he saw an animal it would disappear into the rockface. It wasn’t like they were hiding. It was more like they were becoming part of their surroundings; not like a camelian. He could see camelians. His eyes could pick up heat signatures. These creatures blended into the rocks without a heat signature. They just completely disappeared.
Athvor even dove down to one of these disappearances and sang his claws into the rocks. There was nothing. Either the creature had moved or had become rock.
He continued to look for several hours. He attacked several cliff faces, melting one of those faces with a giant fireball. He didn’t understand how a creature could disappear so completely. After a while he just gave up. They would just have to go hungry tonight.
