Instinct

Violet's POV "Wait a minute wait a minute. You guys know the rules. She chooses who she wants and that's final." An older female bird beast says while walking towards me. I stepped back away from her. She looks like she's about to either attack me or bear hug me. "Don't be so scared, I would never hurt another female. It's just been so long for a young beautiful beast to come here. We are on the outskirts of the kingdom, so we rarely see new females come this way. May I ask what a beautiful female like you are doing here?" she asks. "She has lost her memory and is not too sure. I found her and brought her here hoping that she would find this place as a future home." Jee says to the lady. "That was a great idea! Let's have Jee give you a tour and tonight we can feast." the lady says and gives me a hug "If she doesn't want him as a partner it must be explained." another male shouts "Yeah!" I heard other males agree I instinctively hide behind Jee due to everyone making me nervous. All the men around us look like they want to pounce on me. "Looks like you guys are all too late. She has found her shield." the lady says to me and winks at us. I looked up and saw Jee blushing. I looked down and didn't realize I was holding him on his waist, hiding behind his wings. Oh Violet! You would've never done this if we were back home "Oh! I am so sorry. It was instinct." I said to him apologetically. I see everyone look at me in awe when they hear me say instinct. "Don't worry. When someone moves on instinct, it means more than just that. You will find out soon, my dear. For now, go ahead and take a look around. Everyone, let's enjoy tonight and have a good feast." she says, while everyone agrees and cheers. Jee walked up ahead of me and I followed. Man, he is walking really fast. I might not be able to catch up. "Are we in a rush to get somewhere?" I called out a few feet behind him. "Sorry, I didn't realize how ahead I was. Winged beasts glide when we walk. I need to take that into consideration next time, since you are not one." he says apologetically "It's okay! I know that now too, so it's something I just learned." I said back. "I am assuming you have not met many beasts from where you are from. You must be from Lenn or Jarrod." he says back to me. "Maybe. Why those places?" I asked. "Lenn does not have as many winged beasts there. Not as many high areas. More for smaller 4-legged beasts. Jarrod is the capital area of the Beast Kingdom. Only royal winged beasts are allowed to live high in the sky. Everyone else stays at the lower or mid levels." he says to me "Something else I have learned again today. Thank you." I said back to him. I sneak a peak and see him blushing. What a cute, shy man he is. We walked towards a small stream that turned into a pond and then back out to a river. That's something I have to remember. Maybe I should fish and use my net overnight. That would be a great goal to start since I might be here for some time. We check a few hollow trees that are being used by other winged beasts as homes and I think I like that way better than the mountain nests. At least here I can come down to the ground and back up without being scared of falling. "Do you like this? The Tree-house?" he asks me happily. "Yes I do. I think it may be a little easier for me to get to and from places instead of over there by the high nests." I said back to him awkwardly. I am most likely positive that is where he lived. So I really don't want to sound rude. "Ah. Are you considering staying here?" he asks nervously, looking away, blushing "Yes, of course! I have nowhere else to go, so this would be a great start!" I said back to him excitingly. "That would be great! I mean we would love to have another female join our tribe. Mom would love that too." he says shyly. "So the woman back there was your mom?" I asked. "Yes. She is standing chief while my dad travels. Her name is Mariah. The chief's name is Dash. We all left what was destroyed and found this place a home. Other winged beasts started coming as well and they have decided to make my father chief, since he has the most battle experience and my mother is a doctor." he says proudly. Battle experience? So they have wars here too! I will need to be careful. And a doctor? I am glad for that for sure! "Battle experience"? I asked worriedly. "Ah! Don't be alarmed. As much as we need to be prepared if there is anyone who wants to cause trouble here, we have been very lucky to not run into such issues. Would you like to see the rest of the territory?" he asked, trying to change the subject. "Yes, of course." I said back to him. We walked past the tree-houses and more into a field. It's so beautiful here. Lots of trees and are those apples? I saw pears and even oranges. Lots of nuts and pines too. These even look like sap trees! "You like these? We use fruit for food and nuts too." he says happily "There is so much that you have here. It's great!" I said back, smiling. Makes things a bit easier food wise for me. "That's good to know. I am glad that you are loving our territory. I hope you want to stay here. Everyone would be happy." he says back to me I need brownie points to earn his trust. I can tease him just a little. "Even you?" I asked shyly. Throw in some batted eyes with a little shy cheeky face and I'm gold! I see him start blushing and he turns away. Oh, this is going to be easy for me. "Yes, of course. Who wouldn't want a female to join their territory? It is great for our tribe." He says back to me. "Oh, just the tribe, huh? I guess so then." I said back, smirking. "Oh well, this is all of our territory. If you walk along the hills, we have scouters who watch and maintain our borders. I suggest you never walk so deep towards the borders if you ever choose to take walks. As much as we have scouts there, you never know who might be passing by." he says to me concerned. "Okay, I will keep that in mind. Can we go back to the stream? I want to check something out." I asked him. "Yes, of course," he says and leads me to it.
