Ebonfort - The Simplest of Hunts

"God damn bastard." Li muttered under his breath, while taking cover behind a large boulder.
Wyverns were such fearsome creatures that, although weaker than dragons, were still capable of tearing limbs off effortlessly. Just thinking about the wyvern that Ralen was currently taking on solo, made Li’s wings shake. Li started a series of breathing exercises, which calmed his nerves. Before long, Li heard the wyvern cry out again, accompanied by a metallic clash. It was then that Li’s eyes locked with Ralen’s, who had gotten up from his fall.

Li knew that he could not leave his friend to die. They had been through too much. From the time they had saved each others lives, to the journeys they had been together. They had created a bond too deep to break. Li exhaled one last time before sprinting towards Ralen.

Li had very little knowledge about wyverns, but he knew one thing for sure. Like most creatures, their eyes should be the weakest point on their bodies. Li thew a single dagger at the wyvern's eye, all the while hoping for a miracle.

Ebonfort - The Simplest of Hunts

Li had started to regret his decision of following Ralen. Although Ralen had clearly stated that they were hunting a dire bear that was terrorizing the local villages, Li was certain that no normal bear could survive the mountain’s desolate environment. Infact now that he thought about it, he started to recall the various wildlife that lived on this mountain. Of the common creatures such as, wolves and chimeras, that he knew lived within and on the mountain, he had not recalled even one instance of a dire bear seen around the territory. Hell the only thing worth hunting would be the wyvern that was rumoured to have made a den around these parts.

If this idiot lied to me again, there is no way I don’t poison his food and make him puke for the next four days. Ji sighed, his suspicion of Ralen increasing with every step. It wasn’t that Ji distrusted Ralen, it was just that anyone that knew Ralen for more than a handful of weeks, would undoubtedly get caught in some sort of disastrous plan. Ji had to admit, Ralen could make the most terrible ideas become enticing plans filled with glory and riches.

After another half stretch of their slow climb up the mountain, they had reached a large plateau. Mainly small shrubbery and weeds grew around this area, but compared to the rest of the areas they passed, this would be like finding an oasis in a desert.

From the records that Li read, this particular plateau should be suitable for dire bears, and because of this reasoning, albeit hesitantly, Ji decided that Ralen did not hide any “small” details in his plan. That was until he heard a loud screech coming far above them, like metal being dragged through a gravel road. When the source of the creature was in view, a dark grey wyvern about 16 feet long, Li, for the third time, made a mental note reminding himself to never trust Ralen.

Ebonfort

Li Severcrest

Name: Li Severcrest

Race:Tengu

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Birthday: Saffra 14, 276

Birthplace: Silent Rise

Resides in: Stone Crest

Occupation: Adventurer

Appearance:
Li compared to the other males of the Tengu race could be considered small, only 6'2 in height and a wing span of 11'. Li has vibrant blue eyes and patches of white feathers that stick out like stars among his black plumage.
Personality:
Although Li is overly cautious to the point of paranoia, once someone is able to befriend him, he will without a doubt have complete loyalty. Because of Li cautious nature, even since childhood, he did not make as strong of a bond with his parents like other Tengu should have. To other Tengu, this would be a huge fault, but to Li, this allowed him to appreciate being independent, but to also grow cunning and learn to con anyone that is not his friends or family.
