Ghost in the swamp

Crescendo was quick to hurry toward the landing spot of the thing. He didn't look back at Kove or make any remark about what he had just said. Small talk bored him.

Soon he was at the top of a small rise, looking down at the fluffy bundle of feathers on the ground. The thing turned, staring at the male with blood red eyes. It gave another one of it's piercing screams and took to the air, wing back up to it's perch and looking down at the wolves with it's creepy gaze. It was quite large, but from the brief glimpse of it up-close Crescendo couldn't guess at it's species.
