We are going to stay in the forest for a while, a while that Adron called short but I know how different our definition of short can be. He said this place is best for training without catching someone's attention, which he thought would be worrisome as of now knowing how weak we were, and that I could get hands on combat training here easily, can't doubt that there are lots of beasts around. 

Anyways, it is the first day of my training today and the agenda for today is:

"So?" I could talk telepathically with Adron but it's been about a week since I last saw my family, any other human for that matter, so I felt good when I actually uttered the words. It made me feel more human like.

[For physical training you'll hunt those annoying squirrels which you mentioned were one of the elevated beasts.]

[Hunt a glider? How in the world does hunt-]

[Do it.] He simply cut me off, I could sense the lack of emotions from my partner. At first I just thought he was pissed by them as they flew left and right, squeeling, as we walked deeper in the forest but his tone suggested he was actually serious. Guess it has to be done then. He kind of severed our connection after that, probably his way of telling he wasn't going to help in the slightest.

Finding the glider wasn't much of a problem, these things were everywhere so I thought it's not going be a problem catching one.

"Thought". After an hour or so, I realized why their pelts were so expensive, these things just don't stay still! And their senses were very strong. Though they didn't seem to be worried about flying right in front of my face, they immediately created a distance the moment I so much as flicked my hand. Didn't take me long to figure out why Adron asked me to hunt these which of course I'll pretend I knew all along.

Another hour passed and I still didn't have the slightest idea how am I going to catch one of these or that how these things were so quick to act. These gliders were beasts that resembled squirrels, muscular hind legs, furry tail and the sharp teeth, except that they had bat like wing membranes which emerged from their flanks and were attached to their front limbs. They were too quick for me catch up to but what pissed me most was the way they squeeled as if mocking me while roosting upside down on trees nearby.

Dang it! What's with these things? I even tried hiding on tree branches and pounced on one when it was nibbling a fruit but it was gone even before I could focus my eyes towards it's previous location. Before I could so much as graze a glider, five hours passed, I was infuriated, I wanted to continue but my body said otherwise.

I guess the five hours I had decided on were much less, the kid could handle more. But that's something for later what I need to do right now is:

[You don't need me to remind that you are a fool right?] 

"Ye..yeah" He huffed. He seemed genuinely annoyed by his failure but he still was a fool no less, there was something I wanted him to notice which he normally would have if he weren't thinking that I asked him to hunt these on just a whim.

[Sit down kid, that tree seems fine.] I said softly, I wasn't angry at the boy and I knew he was sad but I wanted him to understand, to start using his brain. I understand how he would think of me as a whimsical maniac but I wanted him to know that getting him stronger is one of the things I am dead serious about.

The boy teetered to the tree as his legs were cramped and landed gently, his back being supported by the tree, and said "I am sorry. Earlier, I just didn't take you seriously."

[I know and well I don't care.] I said apathetically but I have taken a mental note to make this brat rever me..soon. [Now answer this: Whom do you think these "gliders", as you call them, originate from?]

"How does that mat-"

[You know it or not?]

"No I don't. I don't know whom does gliders, howlers or any beast race originate for that matter."

[ Now these beasts, they were once just normal animals. I don't know about the howlers since I haven't witnessed one but these Gliders originated from the squirrels you have in your world.]

The boy's jaw slackened and eyes went wide but after a few moments he was again skeptical, probably thinking how someone as arrogant as me, who don't get full of praising himself, was so confidently telling him something 

so unprecedented but again his expression got more calm, more collected. Seems like he has started to get what I exactly am.

"But then what about the wings? How do you explain the differences?" He said as if completely believing what I said.

[Look, I don't know how many, if any, people know it but the Beo Noctis thing you talked about it doesn't effect only effect humans.] His mouth snapped open but closed again just as soon, calm and quiet he rolled his eyes as if trying to find me somewhere in his view. [I am actually amazed why you haven't wondered over it? Why do you think a higher power will choose only you humans? Apparently the power behind this fortuna asteroid, it's bigger than you, you all and to it, all of you are lessers without exception. It won't bother selecting worthy among you lessers, which clearly you humans are not, so the beasts are just as likely affected as your so called blests.]

His eyes went dull contrary to the genuine curiosity I had imagined, probaly he was thinking right now how even these beasts were deemed more worthy by the skies than him but it's something he should know, knowledge is power as they say.

[Which brings me to: Why do you think the gliders were given the ability to fly?]
