You go hide, ducking into a nearby bush. Then you throw your pack containing the meat, chainmail, and wolf pelt away from you in an attempt to lure the anzus down to the group,or at least distract them. It works almost perfectly, the anzus, seemly intrigued, swoop down on your pack and prepare to rip it apart, likely for the meat within. Before they can, however, you cast ice bolts at them, catching them off guard.
You aim for the wings, and mange to hit one, although, while it still cripples it, it doesn't hit it dead on. The other anzus panic and attempt to fly away, but you take out the wings of three of them, with only the last one getting off the ground. Unfortunately for it, your next ice bolt goes right through it's head killing it instantly. You then rush towards them with your sword and charge them before they can act. They can't do much without wings anyways, so you weren't really worried. You quickly slice off the heads of the first three, but the last one manged to scratch your leg before you mange to kill it. The wound starts to gush blood, and might have been a problem, but you can regenerate and it quickly closes.
With the battle over, you do what is becoming an increasingly common occurrence these days, and cut open the birds to tear out their hearts. You briefly entertain the idea of cooking one of the hearts, but you dismiss it, it probably wouldn't taste as good anyways. You dig into the hearts, getting the blood all over you. Unlike the previous times, though, you don't feel your physical abilities increase at all, instead, you feel like you can do something with the air itself, and your sense of direction seems sharper. You direct your magic like you do when you are levitating pebbles, and create a gust of wind. It isn't strong enough to actually harm anything, but you did it without a spell!
Looking over yourself, you realize that you have blood from the anzus all over you, as well as dried blood caked on you from your previous kills. You should probably wash it off, especially if you plan to go back to town, although, strangely, you don't feel disgusted like you would a few days ago. Your desire to be clean seems purely intellectual.

Trait gained:
The Affinity of the Anzu: After eating the hearts of five different anzus, you seem to have an easier time manipulating the air itself, even if you are still terrible. Your sense of direction also seemed to improve.
