The thunderbirds gather overhead, circling like vultures above the lake. The water casts their reflection almost perfectly, nary a ripple present to distort the silvery image, so it seems as if there are two battles to fight, instead of only one.
But will it be a battle of hoof and talon, or stories and secrets? Will it be remembered in the history of Denocte, in the lore of all of Novus, or will it be forgotten by the morning? Only time would tell.
Caligo nods to Katniss as she joins them, offering a tight-lipped smile to the newcomer. “We may need all the help we can get,” she tells her, but quickly falls silent after. She is oblivious to the others, to their fury and cunning and roiling emotions. She has eyes and ears only for Isra and the beasts.
A target indeed.
The birds swoop lower and lower, laughter rolling from their beaks in their foreign tongue. They watch Isra as only a predator could, their eyes beady and hungry. Their double wings beat in unison, creating gales that buffet at the equines as lightning crackles between their talons. All things considered, it seems Calliope might soon get the fight she so hungers for.
One of the beasts lands at last, his beak snapping together defiantly. He takes a tentative step closer to her, pawing at the soft lake soil.
But he does not attack - not yet. His head tilts to one side as if in contemplation, listening to Isra’s story. And when she pauses, his many tails whip from side to side and he seems to almost nod, as if encouraging her to continue.
