Oooh, a sneaky human? Fully intrigued by the strange man's actions, Zafira pondered 'helping' him get a closer look at the unicorns by spooking the herd in his direction...
But before she could put the thought into motion there was a sharp smell of ozone and a crack of thunder to match the flash of horizontal light below her. The gore crow croaked in alarm and flapped her wings to get height and distance from the sudden onslaught of magic.
The smell of roasted meat - very well done - wafted up to her sensitive nose, however, and tickled her appetite anew. A pity the rest of the herd had been frightened into fleeing, their hooves thundering across the pleasantly flowered hills. Giving a croak of annoyed disgust, she settled for folding her wings and dropping straight down to land on the smoking unicorn's head. It wasn't anywhere near as good as killing it herself would have been, but as a consolation prize she dipped her heavy beak to tug at a fresh eyeball to tide her over in the meantime.
