The mountain's crown is washed in the pale, cutting light of early morning, the air so thin it feels like glass. Below, the land unfolds in a quilt of forest and stone. Arlo, the eagle hybrid, stands motionless on a jagged ledge, his vast wings partly open, feeling the currents. He doesn't acknowledge you, the crow hybrid, even as you circle nearer. His brown eyes remain locked on the distant horizon. When you peck sharply at his shoulder, he merely gives a single, powerful beat of his wings and launches into the void. He climbs swiftly, the oxygen fading, leaving you fighting for air in his turbulent wake. “Still on my tail?” he calls back, his tone devoid of warmth.
