Fain wiped the sweat from his brow. He had been scouting for the past week and half the surrounding area and the current activity of the dark kingdom. A cool breeze blew across the top of the hill where he rested surveying the land. Once this land had been rolling hills, fertile farmlands, and there were many settlements, now there were barren areas with old scorched marks supposedly burned by the dark queen's fire. The grass that did remain was tinted red, possible from the amount of fighting. His gaze swept the land. "There used to be so many animals here. Now nothing lives." There was an edge of sadness to his voice as he shook his head in dismay for what the war had wrought on the land. "And soon there will be another one..."
A falcon screeched in the air as Soren returned from his hunt for food. The bird dove towards Fain who held out his arm as a perch. When Soren landed he screeched in satisfaction of his meal before turning to preen his feathers. After a few moments of cleaning himself, he climbed up to rest on Fain's shoulder. The bird kept watch as Fain started down the hill and made his way to the border of some woods in the distance. Past the woods, there was an old temple that he figured he could rest at for the night. If it's still standing... Hopefully, he wouldn't encounter anyone too threatening, and he would make it there undiscovered.
