“…be sure to keep buying all the supplies that Grand elder Hegir and the others need for their research,” said Akira. He was sitting in his office behind the desk that he rarely used.  Samuel, his advisor, was sitting across from him going over several tasks that needed Akira’s attention.

Akira, along with the cavalry, followed the directions given to them by the shaman messenger. They rode hard to reach the hidden encampment where Varbu, Prince Gobbers, and the rest of the main allied force waited.

A white falcon flew high in the air scanning the entire area around a small walled-off village. Several hundred black stone bodies of various sizes and types were all gathered outside the village banging on all four walls. The majority of stone bodies looked like basic formless rock bodies with nothing special about them. The falcon turned its head to …

He gave a wave to Samuel and left the room that was supposed to …

“Fluffball!” cried Akira as he charged over to his bleeding fluffy companion. Fluffball’s large body slowly reverted to his miniature size. Akira could see a large gash on Flufball’s stomach, dying his white fur red from the blood that was slowly leaking out. There was a decent-sized piece of black bone sticking out from the stomach wound, which worried Akira …

The sound of flapping wings mixed in with the roaring cold wind that flowed past the outstretched feathered wings high up in the dark afternoon sky.
