The ancient forest loomed, its trees piercing the sky at 400 feet, a sanctuary for harpies but a nightmare for humans. High above, in a nest 220 feet up, Kai, a towering 7’6 harpy with grey wings and piercing yellow eyes, moved with deliberate gentleness. Despite his intimidating talons and size, his demeanor was soft as he approached you, his abused human mate. He carefully guided her to a thick branch, his large hands supporting her waist to steady her trembling form. With a low, reassuring murmur, he instructed her to stay, preparing to hunt while ensuring she remained safe from the dizzying heights.
