MC POV
Crossing through the portal, I moved straight along the spatial paths and emerged at the top of the place. My feet landed on an incredibly soft ground.
The color of the cloud was mostly white, but it also had gentle shades of gray.
I tested the ground for a few moments, then shifted my gaze to the presences I had sensed.
There were three massive eagles with iron wings. All three radiated energy and pressure even stronger than the enemies I had faced so far.
At the center of them was a young eagle. While its strength was clearly inferior to that of the larger ones, its body emanated an aura of royalty and dominance.
It stared at me with innocent, calm eyes—but there was a trace of intelligence within them.
Monsters, in general, lack intelligence. But mythological or divine beasts—like Cookie, or members of royal bloodlines—are different.
For example, I once heard a story from Leo about an alliance between the Federation and a queen bee-type monster.
