Two hours in, Fay was finally in his element. He rode atop Grin, with Horin gripping his waist from behind.
They were in the middle of a chase, trailing behind Selra and two other Avian-Kin.
One resembled an eagle, the other a parrot, and both were joined by the eagle's wife, Horu and Merus.
They had decided to join the hunt and were now darting through the skies in pursuit of several deer that still roamed the outer reaches of the ruined land.
While Fay had initially wanted to trap and corner the deer, he had left that role to Horin.
She had brought along a bow and seemed quite skilled with it. Horin had already impressed him once before by striking a deer clean through the heart with a single shot.
He knew just how difficult that was.
Intrigued by her form, Fay studied her technique closely, how she drew the string, the strength behind each pull, and the focus in her eyes.
He found himself fascinated by weapons and battle styles.
Part of him longed to craft a spear again.
