You have tamed two creatures that inhabit the land, now you must tame one that soars the skies. Use the taming rod to tame a strigid screecher, found west of here. Practice your skills with this mighty owl at your side.

When you return, I will bestow you with the skills you will need to tame an animal of your choosing to be your companion; this creature will face the challenges you face, and gain experience alongside you. I will also show you how to call it and dismiss it as you wish.

You have learned all I can teach you, friend. May I offer you one more piece of advice: use discretion when choosing your first pet. Will you choose a creature of the land, of the water, or of the sky? Whatever it may be, without doubt, your pet will be with you for quite some time.

Here you are, friend. I will now give you the power to tame a beast, as well as call it and dismiss it as you see fit. Use your new skills with pride; you have earned them.
