Gyrfalcon's Keep tell me of progress to strengthen my blood

@bartok

Loud were the cries of protest that uprooted the nest -- squalls of horror and protest alike as the slender waif slithered through Gyrfalcon's Keep. About her the birds lit like white flames on the pale horizon, their shrieks of murder and clamor doing nothing to halt her murderous glissade.

One such nest-mother, revolting from her clan's flight, swirled about Caiaphas with heckling fury -- her wicked talons outstretched as she swooped in and out like a frenzied kamikaze. Caiaphas ducked her head enough to manage preventing an eye loss, but it was not enough to avoid the blow entire -- with a yelp her own Caiaphas snapped after the hastily retreating bird, her hackles roused by the encounter.
