Akpofure nodded, and he and the group returned to the village. "Hey, Acpofoofoo, what's the White faced 'demon' and the Sky 'demon'?"Anna asked. "My name is Akpofure. There is no... 'foofoo' in it."Akpofure corrected, as he'd done multiple times on the trek to and from the mountains. "The White faced Demon is a bat-like creature the size of a child. It screams when it flies at night."Akpofure said. It's not very dangerous to adults and most animals, but small animals and children are at risk around it."Akpofure explained. "And hte Sky demon is a giant fire breathing Vulture strong enough to carry an Elephant. It doesn't seem to have any interest in our village, and some other hunters claim they were even able to get close enough to it to touch it without it attacking them."Akpofure said.

"Maybe we could get this 'Sky Demon' to the mountain where the gang is hiding?" Roshan suggested

"Well, I do not really know how to."Akpofure said. "The Sky Demon is not like most creatures. It does not fear anything, so we can not chase it to the mountain. It ignores the carrion we put out in the savanna, so we can not lead it to the mountain. And it does not openly go to the mountains, at least not frequently." Akpofure said. "Akpofoofoo, what's the Sky Demon look like?"Anna asked. Akpofure had mentioned the Sky Demon being a vulture a few minutes ago. While Vultures in Shomia looked different from Vultures here, they were still recognizable. "Well, Like I said, it's a giant vulture. It's taller than an Elephant. It has a long tail with no feathers. Its legs and stomach have no feathers on them either. And it has three claws coming from both wings, which it walks on. It also has horns on its head."Akpofure said. "Oh!That's not a Demon! What ever those are. That's a Draco-Avias!"Anna said. "The East People that live near my hive use them to get around the mountains they can't climb themselves or that they can't ride their rabbits up to. You can tame it. Maybe that's how you can get it to the mountains?"Anna said.

"How can you tame it?" Roshan asked Anna "It tried to eat us."

Anna shrugged. "I dunno. The East People were able to."Anna said. Anna's eyes poppedo pen really wide as she grinned. "OOH! OOH! When I was a grub my care taker would tell me stories when I was having trouble sleeping. She told me a story about how one Hive was able to get a Draco-Avias to defend it by feeding the Draco-Avias honey. Maybe we can get it to be friendly like that and tame it from there?"Anna suggested.

"Its worth a try. But for this creature to defend this village, one of the villagers would have to tame it." Roshan said "If we did, it may not defend the village but follow us around."

"Okay. But we need honey first. A lot of it!"Anna said. "Well, there is a giant hive nearby that we frequently get honey from."Akpofure said. Anna let out a loud excited gasp. "Is it on the ground?!"She asked. Akpofure nodded. "IT'S A BEE-FERRET HIVE! OMIGOSHIHAVEN'TSEENANYBEE-FERRETSSINCEIGOTHERE!"Anna announced loudly. "Where's the hive?"She asked, eager to go to it.

"Akpofure said it is near his village," Roshan said "We could be coming close to it soon."

"When we get to the village I'll take you both there."Akpofure said.

"Thank you." she replied
When the group came close to the hive was when Roshan's ears picked up the buzzing of a large swarm. Walking even closer, the air became thick with the sweet scent of honey.

"Before we can go in we will need to go back to the village. We have some armor made from the shells of the bees inside. For some reason they are larger than all the other bees we have seen. It also still smells like the bees, so they should not attack us."Akpofure said. Anna was too happy to see a 'Bee-Ferret' hive that she wasn't payin any attention to Akpofure, though one of the other hunters kept her from just waltzing inside.

Apcofure shook his head as he lead roshan and Anna to get the armor.

The strange giant bee armor came in many sizes and had to be fitted to each of the group member's size. It took several tries for Anna to get an armor set that fit her. Roshan had an easier time, though she sniffed at the armor and moved around in it to test its mobility.

The armor was light weight, and still smelled like the bees from the hive. Akpofure had gotten outsome kind of bottle. He sprayed it on everyone including himself. "Akpofoofoo! How come you're spraying us with this stuff?"Anna asked. "So that the bees do not know we are not bees."Akpofure said. "Those aren't bees. Those are Bee-Ferrets. The hives to big to be those stupid copy cat bugs."Anna said.
