"You're asking for too much, kid! Too much! Too much!" the parrot repeated as it tightly hung to the chandelier. It then unfolded its claws and took flight to the ceiling.
Its longest feather protruding from its head bent behind as the parrot suspended itself close to the ceiling.
Still on the floor, Ender stared at the parrot.
Although he'd never seen that parrot's kind before, Ender felt in his bones that he knew what kind of an animal it was and what it could do. He couldn't recall because that was information coming straight from his heritage.
It was something he could unlock, given time and experience.
Alas, only so much could have been unlocked solely with anger.
'Ten minutes... objectively, it best if I keep it busy for this long,' Ender thought, his eyes spinning mad. 'Personally, I want the parrot dead.'
The latter feeling won over Ender.
He had never been called an inferior bird before, so he couldn't understand this feeling well. Ender also didn't understand much of his pride in an eagle and instinctively reacted to it before. With so much needed to be learned, Ender left the choice to his heart and responded accordingly to its wishes.
He took flight like a jet and zoomed at the parrot!
Darkness swirled around his little form. It became like armor, mainly around his white beak, which was his weapon as well as the weakest point.
He flew like a spear toward the parrot!
"Arrogance is in your bones! In your bones! In your bones!" the parrot flapped its wings, conjuring a sharp wind blade further strengthened by its voice's vibrations.
It was something that first-timers would never be able to notice.
Ender was one of them despite his grand origins.
As the sharp wind blade slammed into him, he felt an immense weight going at him!
It was not just one sharp wind—there were many of them and worse, they were even enhanced by something!
Ender's eyes shone with intelligence.
He thought, 'Repetition?'
At last, the parrot's attack drove Ender to the floor.
Ender, however, dipped into his nest of darkness just in time. He suffered minuscule losses because of his armor of darkness and the fact that the parrot didn't go all out on him.
It wasn't something that would change Ender's mindset, though.
'If this doesn't work...' Ender thought.
'You little one! Get down whoever you're fighting right now!' Jake happily thought.
'I will!' Ender thought!
Jake didn't expect to hear a reply.
He stood speechless. 'Huh? Blergh!'
The lion's paw slapped him and sent him flying.
Back to Ender's stage, the baby eagle released himself at the unaware parrot. His speed took the parrot by surprise, forcing it to draw a lot of wind blades. It screamed various words to enhance its magic.
Ender, however, didn't pay them any attention.
He drew a trajectory in his mind like Jake would and aimed at getting himself to his target.
The foreign magic got close to him, only to get devoured by his darkness. All on Ender's path dispersed, as it was Ender's element to neutralize magic and have it be devoured by darkness!
Finally, he drove himself into the parrot!
He drilled his elongated beak into its flesh, drawing blood! It gushed out in abundance!
At last, the parrot fell, losing its crown of the highest ceiling!
Ender snatched it as he perched on the swaying chandelier.
He looked down at the parrot, who was now lying on the floor, shocked.
Ender put on his Pathetique mask and said, "I perch the highest."
His tattoo was the highest on Jake's body.
His darkness took over the skies!
And he would never ever give that privilege to anyone else!
Ender said, "Stay down, the inferior... breed!"
"The Kid's vocabulary is also increasing faster than mine! Kid, I was going easy on you! Easy! Easy!" the parrot screamed.
Ender turned his head to the side. "You lost."
Ten minutes passed.
"Where did he go?" the parrot asked, confused.
