Kieran and Velor shoved each other away.
Simultaneous.
Not an ounce of grace in it.Kieran snarled and stepped back. Velor staggered, baring his fangs but not retaliating.
Their fight was definitely not over… but it was interrupted by something bigger.Whatever the hell was above them… took precedence.
Their eyes remained glued to the sky!
They both stood still, bodies battered and bloodied, chests still heaving too fast.
The air grew thicker.
Ominous.
Cold.
Then the fluttering began.
Cawww!!
Cawww!!
One screeched.
Then another.
Then dozens.
A wave of wings swept across the sky above the castle.
Kieran's ears flicked back, his orange slits narrowing. Velor's tail twitched once, his muzzle lifting in a silent snarl.
Both Alphas slowly turned their heads to follow the motion of the ravens.
They had started circling slowly. Cawing louder and louder by the seconds.
