Seren stood at the edge of the clearing, her bow lowered, her eyes scanning the scene.
The battle had been brutal, the air still thick with the smell of blood and feathers.
She took a moment to catch her breath, her chest rising and falling, her hands steady despite the chaos that had just unfolded.
In her life, he hadn't seen a battlefield this thick with bodies and action.
With this intensity and pressure! The closest that came in mind was the Yuimons battle when she had Darion had hunted together.
She looked at Darion now. Her face was calm, but her eyes were bright with something that might have been awe.
"That's... that's crazy!" she said.
Darion nodded with a smile. "Yes, it was. For some moments there I was overwhelmed."
He wasn't lying. The sheer number of birds, the intensity of their attack, the way they had coordinated their assault, it had been unlike anything he had faced before.
At that moment, he had been very much overwhelmed.
