It was a clear day, a rarity in the spring months, in the mountains of the northern provinces. Even rarer still was the territory dispute that seemed to have arisen between two gryphons. It had been quite a hike to reach the outcropping he was currently perched upon. The mercenary’s armor was off to the side in a pile. This was far from the hardest contract the man most commonly known as Uthyr had taken. However, getting into such unforgiving mountains required skills few men possessed… like flight. The towering, tattooed man was hardly one someone would take as a mage. Yet his physical prowess was augmented through his own magic and less honorable skills.
Uthyr heard the distant calls of the feathered brutes, echoing through the valley as a warning to all. He estimated he had a few hours until the beasts returned, either hunting or fighting. His good eye fell on the lush spring foliage below, following a hawk briefly before returning to the bright horizon.
Generally, he left dangerous creatures alone… but coin was involved, thus here he was. Never did it occur to him that one contract may be his last. He assumed it would be. Men like him did not live to see grandchildren. Susurrant thoughts passed through his mind as he shifted to be a bit more comfortable as he waited for great, winged shadows in the sky. One way or another, dusk would be eventful.
