"It's just us three now, Talon. Just like how we started." Liam's gaze swept over the sleeping fox in his hand as he absent-mindedly muttered.
Screee… Screee… The huge bird flapped its metallic wings and craned its neck up to agree with him.
But Liam chuckled. That statement was wrong. He looked at the howler demon staring at him sitting beside him. The creature made him uncomfortable when he stared too long into its eyes. It was as if he was looking into bottomless nothingness.
Liam banged his forehead with his palm and snapped himself out of the trance. He stopped staring at the demon and instead looked over at the vast endless horizon.
That was right. They were crossing the kingdom boundary for the first time. This path was covered with powerful creatures so he had to be careful.
Liam had chosen to do this through the western boundary of the Kingdom as the barbarians were the easiest to handle in his opinion.
