Death

It changed my (King Vulture's) instinct. Before that no one except human was scared of death. First time, I become scared of death. After that day I live on the high trees due to fear of death. But at the same time, I get all blood in my body from the dead body. I am enemy as well as follower of death. I get the warmth of life from the dead animals and have to escape from death by searching death.
