At the apex of the sky, high above the maze, dark silhouettes began to emerge.
The sun glinted off their sharp, metallic feathers, and as they descended closer, their true forms became more distinct.
These were not ordinary birds but humanoid creatures with wings as vast as those of eagles, their bodies covered in sleek, armor-like plumage.
Their eyes gleamed with the predatory sharpness of hawks, and their faces were elongated, with sharp beaks that curled slightly at the tips.
Their talons, formidable and razor-edged, glistened in the light.
Each figure wielded weapons, from jagged spears to gleaming swords, which only added to their imposing presence.
These were the Jaldir, a fearsome race from the distant world of Zordrix, known across multiple realms as the Skyclaw Brotherhood.
They were an elite faction of warriors who dominated the skies with their unmatched speed and superior aerial combat skills.
