Sweeping the skys

Of all the animals that existed in the forest only those with the rarest of abilities are primarely hunted by other races to increase the power of their tools and abilities most that don't posses desired traits are simply killed and robbed of their core even those that haven't yet formed sentiance are killed by those of great power on a simple whim but amongst the most intelligent and unnoticeable the wrath of the sentient beings didn't effect them much and they'd proven to be one of the greatest of allies one the past guardians had failed to see potential.

Among the most sought traits of creatures those that could fly and grew to tremendous size were highly coveted some though because of their nature and appearance were treated like common pest such as the scavenger birds but today they are no longer scavenging they were hunting.

In the sky among the forest the great Vultures had take flight against the mighty eagles and great hawks and other flying creatures that had refused the request of the guardian deer and were now being plucked from the sky one buy one as the vultures had eaten all manner of beings they posses an ability that was unknown to the world even themselves until the guardian had guided them to show them they could gain immunity to what ever they eat although not perfect it allowed a great boon against other flying creatures that used elements to push them around despite their great size in comparison.

"stop we concede to your Couse" A sharp cry echoed through the skies.

"Silence little bird you have made you choice now you must die with it"

In center of the massacre that toke place a Giant vulture had taken his claws against the Gale eagle a powerful bird capable of controlling the wind with ease yet against the vulture it was noticeable that the wind didn't move as planned as the vulture had managed to close the distant with ease and severely wound the eagle leaving it barely able to continue flying and along the edge of their fight lighting circled them both occasionally descending on the vulture but leaving no traces of damage.

"Do you think you have think you have time to worry about others" outside the fight a lightning hawk struggled to break from the smaller vultures yet only slightly smaller then it, it was generally impossible for the hawk to be surrounded or chased like helpless prey but it hadn't realized it had been trapped in a formation long before the battle and was being plagued by illusions and vultures that were able to slightly resist it's attackes and occasionaly recieve small cuts all over its body from dozen of small black birds that he was unaware of as he had never heard or incounter such birds.

Dispite the great battle the was being taken up in the sky it appeared to be no more then a cloudy day as almost the entire sky above the forest was in an illusion even the greatest of powers in the world of the king forest couldn't have done this as the amount of people and time that would be needed if only to produce the illusion without substance was behond absured, what made it possible for this grand illusion and formation inside to exist was all the help of a single flock of birds or a murder of crows.

This type of crow was not the golden variety but plain black crows some slightly larger then normal but with higher intelligence then even most sentient creatures they truly excelled in formations and illusions some even being able to use attacks to break the mind and give substance to illusions but what was truly frightening was thier unity as a group was unheard of in any beings of power as most would distant themselves from normal normal or weaker creatures out of pride and others out of fear but these crows continued to stand together and in time dozen, hundreds, thousands then hundreds of thousands of these crows began to span the universe and treated as mere decerations as they stole secrets from kings, gods, and children alike.

The fight didn't last much longer as the prevouse kings of the skies were easily delt with as the Gale eagle was no match for the vulture without the full support of the wind and was ripped in half well the Thunder hawk had succumb to the many wounds that covered his body and died without ever know what trapped him.

With the last Thunder hawk and Gale eagle dispatched the illusion began to fade revealing a clear blue sky and a Deer that stood upon a hill looking down on the two corps of the previous kings of the sky.

As the deer looked down upon the corpes he couldn't help but emitt a felling of regret for his fallen comrades but he did what he must to ensure success.

"The last of the beasts that refused to join has fallen so tell me how will you deal with the bodies" a voice echoed similer to a female with a high pitched voice yet with no creature around to put the voice to until a small black crow appeared atop the deers antlers only for several more to follow as if they were always there.

Without care for his new carry on the deer spoke

"I know what you desire but the vulture will take the corpse and crystal of the king of the Thunder hawks as he will need resistant to many things as his size and sturdeniss is unatueral for his kind and he will lead most of our frontal attacks as for the younger ones the vast majority will be yours as for the king of the Gale eagle the corps will be taken for the other allies who toke to the sky but the crystal will be yours as for the younger and rest of the corpes you will have them distrubeted between the allies of the ground and earth"

"and what of the younger ones that didn't take flight?" although it was uncommen for beings of power to stay with those without similer creatures would always be atracted to them.

"leave them be they have yet to gain sentience and are still pure of mind"

"so be it Dear" with a light chuckle the crow become amused at its own pun even the others joined in with the deer showing no reaction, "such a serious fellow are you so tell me what do you have planed now that the earth, ground and skies are now ours, do you plan to get rid of the little gardners now"

"As i've told you all we are not strong enough to began a frontal assault and those who they have contact with will notice if were not careful"

"so you plan for us to go into hiding"

"not hiding training one of the reason we beast fail to reach our true potential was the threat of each other so any injury we recieved was taken seriously and we would abandon most fights as for the other races the city is a safe haven for most to allow them to recover from any wound and learn from it allowing them to perfect thier techniques and fighting style well we are constantly being weakened so by removing all those who are against us we can creat our own safe haven allowing us true peace of mind and to gain from our own encounters"

"and what do you plan to do about those who enter the forest, how will we deal with them"

"we will no long ignore their entry all lords have already abandon the lands near our tempory guest and taken position near the outer parts and been told to activily hunt those enter as well as to engage each other as to sharpen their skill"

"and what happens when the kindoms or other powers start to notice the losses"

"most who come to this forest are only seeking sudden fortune most of those that come from any power come seeking a certian species or rare plants and are far and few between without actual proof the majority will ignore the forest aside from the weaker ones as far a the heads of any orginization they'll be finding out some interesting things to keep them preoccupied"
