Malakai's eyes narrowed as he gazed up at the bird, its dark silhouette stark against the pale blue sky.
He knew that the bird was working for the three unknown individuals who had orchestrated the ambush.
The bird's presence was no coincidence; it had been stalking them before they entered the dungeon, only to disappear.
Now, it had reappeared, lingering in the sky as if waiting for something or someone.
Malakai's mind worked overtime to piece together the events.
The bird's actions suggested that it was spying on them, gathering information to deliver to its masters.
But now that the lizardmen(and wolfman) had been defeated, the bird should have fled, disappearing into the distance to avoid detection.
Instead, it remained, watching Malakai with an unblinking gaze.
Malakai's instincts screamed at him to be cautious. The bird's presence might indicated that there was more to come, and it was waiting.
