Harpy Go Lucky - Part 2
Outside. Air. Wind barges past, every second like a bullet glancing, grazing at the edges of Lacun's body. The pain was almost worth it for that breath of air, for the cool of the wind, and it would have been worth it for the view if he could see past the storm. He was forbidden to go outside in freak weather like this, as it was even too strong for the windmill, but today he was alone. Alone, besides his robotic companion. A re-purposed Ancient Gear Beast discovered by his father was presented to him last year, on his 17th birthday, and had made for a strong companion thus far. His growl disappeared into the wind, but Lacun could see some distress in his mechanical eyes. This was utterly confusing, as nothing less than a tornado would even scratch it as far as the wind was concerned, and even then it would have had a difficult job.
The shrill clank of gears rolling into each other intensified until Lacun could hear it. Perhaps his automaton had noticed something he hadn't. What was there about the wind that made it different to normal? There was something about it. Lacun could see colours, no more. Grey beast. Green grass. White sky. A dart of blue. Silver wind. That sudden blur of colour that flushed past; that was not meant to be seen. Something was hiding in plain sight, flickering with the same speed as the wind to remain out of visibility. Lacun saw another blast of colour and immediately locked his eyes to it. Some kind of creature, not just debris blown by the oncoming gale.
But what was it?
What is this card?
The answer to the last quiz was
Part 2:
At last, Lacun could see. The wind had not slowed, but the creature had. She had a beautiful face but her body, grotesque, was full of talons and feathers. She was a harpy, and there was no mistaking that this was almost certainly linked to the freak weather that was currently going on. The hound continued to growl, until, out of nowhere, it dived into the wind where the woman-bird warrior waited. Whistling past, she seemed to step into the speed of the gale, and started off as fast as she had stopped. As this happened, Lacun's robot guardian, who was immensely heavy, seemed to be floating off. Having jumped in order to attack, it hadn't actually landed, and had instead gone flying off in the direction of the wind. And the harpy.
Lacun obviously wanted to go after his pet, but was scared to walk out of shelter having just witnessed the consequences. He considered that it may help if he knew what he was up against, so he allowed himself to consider.
Guess the card:
“There must be something that could cause a storm as heavy as this; it evidently isn't a natural one. A tyrant's bellow echoes in the distance.”
