fine I'll spend time with the damn bird

Zephyrus, it seemed, had taken the right path and thankfully did not fall victim to the same trap Azure nearly had. Not as swift as the direwolves on foot, Zephyr waddled through the cave with caution (slow and steady wins the race, after all) and caught sight of the drop before it devoured him. Getting across would be difficult, however.

Turning his body sideways, he extended one massive wing out toward where he assumed the drop would end and patted the air with a wingtip. When his feathers touched solid ground at the other side, he was able to determine the gap’s distance and shuffle his talon over to grasp it. Once both talons were on either side of the pit, it was as simple as a few squished beats of his wings to give him enough lift to bring his body across. Trap conquered. Heaving an exhausted sigh (and wondering if his uncle was trying to get him killed) he continued on, more determined then before and thankful that so far he’d come out of it with only a bruise. There was light up ahead, a blessing, as this is where Zephyr would shine.
