Darius finally reached his destination after two days' travel. As he rode on his horse through the grassland, he saw a kettle of vultures flying above his head and in the sky.
The tall grass of about five to six feet covered the vast land around him. Any human would have changed his mind seeing those deadly birds flying over his head. But Darius rode ahead confidently.
However, he was now more alert than before. He had no weapon with him, he was not allowed to carry any to the kingdom of Crinudel.
Darius avoided looking up at the sky. Because he knew once he looked up, he would be the feast for this kettle of vultures. His horse was riding at a steady speed. That beast was smart enough to not get frightened by raspy, drawn-out hissing sounds made by the giant birds.
