BEYOND HERE LIES NOTHING
A red tailed hawk flew overhead, its majestic body flying to and fro. Beady eyes possibly searching for another meal or a safe place to land and prune feathers—it was totally unaware that another pair of orbs was watching this predator bird, a hungry pair. Fina took to the sky, small talons extending, and flames flying from crimson hued wings. An ear shattering screech was heard before the sickening ‘thud,’ of bodies colliding. The hawk was much bigger than her, but she had fire and speed to match the misbalance. Shocked by the pain that came from being burned, the red bird tumbled down gasping in pain. Its suffering lasted only a moment before striking ground with shattering force.
Midas watched from the covering of trees, eyes unreadable and tone sober. He didn’t like to watch Fina hunt, it made stomach churn and feel nauseated, “You could try for smaller prey,” he commented dryly as she landed beside the quivering creature. Aqua orbs turned to regard him with triumph at having killed something at all; a small smile formed across his lips to show favor in her courage and inborn skill. He lay curled beneath the shadow of an old swamp tree, its mass covered in grey green moss. The rotten scent of decaying foliage overwhelmed those that traveled here for the first time. Eventually the foul essence drifted onto a back burner—he had come to this desolate place for a reason.
One that had yet to show itself.
