Chapter 24. ...A New Companion?
"Are these enough?" Aiden piled up all of the twigs to create a fire pit he had once seen in some videos while scrolling back on Earth.
"Now, I had to ensure that the ground is dry and the wind doesn't blow directly to the fire, right?" Aiden looked around to find such a place and landed his eyes on a pine tree.
Though the tree had a crystallized Ice trunk, and its leaves were slightly pointy, they were at an angle where the snow had slid off of them and gathered as a circle all around the tree to around at a height of 7 inches, and the surface directly under the tree had fairly light layered snow which he could remove easily.
It would take some work, but it should prove to be a good spot to light up a fire, one of the most essential things to have in the wild.
CHIRP~
"!" A sudden sound in a solitary area where the vision was extremely poor, due to the snow particles forming a thick mist near the ground while the wind whistled away, had Aiden stiffening for a second.
"Who's there?" He muttered under his breath, took a fighting stance, and slowly turned his head towards the voice.
CHIRP~
A little bird sitting on a nearby bush tilted its head as it chirped. The moment Aiden noticed the bird, he was mesmerized by its beauty.
The Bird was a little bit more than 15 cm in height and had a shiny, icy blue beak.
Its feathers were of a light bluish turquoise color, whereas the wings were of an almost enchanting ethereal sapphire hue with slight whitish textured feathers around its belly.
