Okay, um, Blake's chapter taking a bit longer than usual so I whipped this up in a few minutes. Please be patient, I'm super sorry, everyone!
Chapter 45
Kitiro
My talons claw at the rough stone of the mountain peak. The snow bites my feet and the wind makes me shiver. My eyes are trained on the horizon which is showing no signs of the enemy yet. Although, it's not needed. All down the side of the mountain, thousands of watchful eyes are on the lookout.
"Kitiro..." I whip around to find Leyorra right behind me. Her claws rub her shoulders, hugging herself to keep warm in the fridgid air. "Phew... it's freezing up here..." I smile.
"It is the peak of the mountain, Leyorra. If you don't like it, you can go back down to the other soldiers." Reluctantly, she let's go of her shoulders.
"No... I'll be fine." So, we brave the waether of the peak of our mountain home together. I hold a neutral expression even when I spot five dots in the distance. Leyorra exhales slowly but loudly. "For Skyborne" she whispers. I nod in agreement.
"For Skyborne."
