[PQ] Feathers & Fearlessness

Kiada 's strategy was a good one, but this was not just a regular guest it would seem. Rather than allowing for a pocket of air through which the birds could fly, instead the wind relentless beat and battered them back down. Every time they managed to gain even a bit of altitude a swift and quickly descending thrust of frosty and heavily-laden-with-moisture air. Their wings would feel soggy and heavy and each beat of them would require much more strength and energy than it normally would, their hollow bones providing little support for this frigid onslaught. Staying closer to the Spire should block some of the wind... Remi said hesitantly. He wasn't entirely sure whether directing them to be closer to the spire was a particularly good idea, but so far it didn't seem like the most dangerous thing in the skies. It was either that or give up and go back down. So saying, Remi pinned his wings and dived towards the Spire, losing altitude along the way to try and avoid some of the icier gusts. It was true that nearer to the Spire he only really had to worry about being battered from the top or the sides rather than head-on. Does anyone see anything? On the Spire? A way in? Markings? Anything? They eyes were all sharp and given their proximity the alchemist was hopeful that perhaps the trio would be able to spy something useful. Please post a number from 1-100 at the top of your next post!~ REMI I wish I could discover something that doesn't expire
