Chapter 217: Don't Look Up

He was positioned at the top of the rock wall, hidden by the undergrowth, watching the birds position themselves in the trees above the crevasse. But it was taking too long.

Anima birds were far bigger than any Silent Ones. Even with their gift of flight, they had to be careful to stay out of sight because the wolves would recognize them immediately.

Add to that as they grew closer, more and more wolves were revealed, guarding Elia, or the crevasse, than could be easily seen from above.

Reth just thanked the creator that the wind was in their favor. For now.
