>>6337153You run as fast as you can back to the two siblings. There's not a moment to waste! Once you make it back to your favorite log, the two humans are back within eyeshot. The young man is still laying on the ground, groaning in pain. His sister is there at his side, hands clutched and whispering prayers.
"I have it! I have it!" You still have the joybell in your hand, although due to all the running it is somewhat wilted. No matter. That will no effect on its potency. You kneel down to the young man. "Open your mouth. I have a cure for you. Make sure to chew thoroughly and swallow." You speak sharply, but you're more afraid than angry.
The man opens his mouth, and you gently slide the whole flower past his teeth. He chomps down on the joybell and chews for a while, then swallows as you instruct. His eyes pop open after a few minutes.
"Great sky above! You healed me!" He gets an eyeful at your less than presentable appearance. Your beard is unkempt and your cloak is ragged. The young man sits up. "Are you a sage?"
"He is a holy angel, dear brother! I saw it. He came down from the sky as a giant bird, and then he changed into this man. Akvon heard my prayers!" The young woman is practically crying. "Thank you, blessed one!"
The young man gets to his feet, and begins to stretch and flex his muscles. "I've never felt this good before!" He hits a few masculine poses while his sister practically throws herself at your feet, bowing.
>You've never been worshipped before, but you could certainly get used to this. Keep up the facade of being a holy angel of this "Akvon".>Clear up the misunderstanding. You live among the giant birds, and came to this clearing for some grubs. Please step aside.>Ask the two humans what they're doing out here in the forest. They are young and don't seem to have any weapons.>Those grinning plants will only grow and spread through the land. You need to uproot them immediately! Go back and deal with the accursed creatures.
