The starry but moonless sky above provided little illumination for the ragged plains and rocky hills underneath it. The place was especially dark since it was a battlefield between the cities owned by humans and the faes. There might be buildings around, but were all reduced to ruins long ago. It was impossible to hope that there were lights from there.
However, for a Fae whose special ability lied on vision enhancement, the darkness was not much of a hindrance. Even from a hundred miles away, riding a winged reptile similar to the war pet of the fae youth Barak, the Fae scout could see what had just taken place on that black hill. Everything was visible to him as if it was still daytime.
"Such an imposing wall."
Drake, the fae scout, mumbled with an expression full of admiration. Thanks to his ability, his blue eyes sparkled like little sapphires that had small black marbles at the center, looking so mysterious and fascinating.
Thanks for reading.
