Gaga didn't move.
Only when the Clan Leader's beak was an inch from his eye did he tilt his head slightly, deftly dodging while casually flicking a wing.
SMACK!
The Clan Leader was swatted away like a pebble, letting out a pained squawk as he was sent flying backward. He slammed into a tree trunk with a THUD, slid to the ground in a heap, and couldn't get up for a long while.
The flock of ravens fell silent.
All the Ravens stared in stunned silence, their gazes flickering between the groaning Clan Leader on the ground and the motionless Gaga.
Just then, the Clan Leader's daughter, a young female raven with particularly glossy feathers, suddenly shrieked.
"He dared to strike the Clan Leader! He's a traitor, a freak! Drive him out, caw—!"
It was like lighting a powder keg. The other Ravens joined the uproar.
"Yeah, drive him out!"
"He's been acting strange lately. Something's definitely wrong with him!"
"Get out of our territory, caw, caw!"
