The flock of harpies surrounded us as we soared through the sky. I felt a sense of wariness rumbling throughout me as I watched the sky being covered in black-feathered beings.
I felt cornered, unsure of what the right move was, until I heard a loud laughter erupt from beside me.
I plucked my gaze from the harpies and instead stared at Khalissi. She was laughing hysterically.
"What are these creatures?" she asked with an amused smile on her face.
"Half bird, half woman beasts."
I didn't know that much about them, other than the fact that they lived in mountains. My father once told me he encountered an injured harpy in his travels.
He was traveling inside a deep forest, tracking a rare mythical creature, when he encountered the harpy.
The wounded creature was nesting in a cage, and it seemed to have a few young with her. He said he left them some food but didn't bother engaging with them since he knew they were wary of people.
