From the point of view of the Skyclaw Brotherhood, the atmosphere in the air was heavy as they ascended higher into the sky, the wind buffeting against their wings.
Velros Skybreaker, their leader, flew in silence, his gaze locked on the maze below.
The rest of the Brotherhood followed, but murmurs of confusion and concern began to ripple through the ranks.
"Why are we retreating, Velros?" one of the warriors finally called out, breaking the silence. "We could've destroyed them easily from above."
Another chimed in, "The humans down there are nothing compared to us! We should swoop down and finish this quickly. Why waste time flying circles?"
Velros kept his silence until they were high enough, far above the maze and the scattered remnants of the Raging Pigs below.
