Fortunately, all three birds arrived safe and sound and quite healthy for the first round. Reddit had not only trained them in their usefulness but also in survival, after all.
For instance, they equipped each one with the beast-repelling band, which was a solidified version of the potion. Its reach was very limited, but it worked well if the enemy was a few meters away. A few moments of a predator pausing was enough for the birds to escape danger.
Reddit and Eagle also trained them in evasion techniques. They did this by creating obstacle courses wherein the bird would be forced to skillfully maneuver through it without hitting a single obstacle. This training started a long time ago, not long after they decided to use messenger birds, so there had been some effects.
Anyway, the first letter to arrive was from Gurnam and Minko's Northwest team.
