[Training] these beats of a dark heart

i found cynicism, i found criticism
i've been zero to hero & i have been the villain

Push a creature made for the open, with the air? Oh no. At first the hawk was able to easily glide, but as Saiden's magic became more insistent, the hawk suddenly doubled, the tripled, then bloomed into a shape as terrifying as it was chimeric. If Saiden had been surprised by the presence of a hawk, a manticore would be quite the sight indeed.

Easily able to fly in the face of Saiden's wing, the manticore glided around, before diving back towards the cook. If he could pin the man onto the sands without wounding him, he'd try for that. But if it appeared as though the sailor would be in any sort of proper danger, the manitcore would settle for a harsh landing to kick sand towards the Hali.
