After much trekking through the blazing sun and sand we finally made it to where the Aethon had found the realm protector.
Though the vultures were not there anymore I could still see some stragglers that had not moved yet.
It seemed as though they were resting, at least the ones I had observed. Their eyes were closed, wings tucked in and beak nestled in their body.
If I was going to fight them I wasn't going to fight them asleep, I wouldn't gain anything from that. It would just be a meaningless slaughter.
"Tama, wake them please"
Nodding at my order Tama, with a wave of her hand, wakes the vultures up.
Suddenly a low keening sound vibrates in my ear, it was uncomfortable but not unbearable. Though that didn't apply to the vultures as they were violently waking up letting out pained chirps.
