Golden Birds

As soon as they saw the birds, Luke's group hid themselves to not be seen. Earlier, they had walked for an hour and found not a sign of another living thing, only corpses of whole groups; for that reason, it was a shock to find the animals so suddenly.

"What are we gonna do?" Jilly questioned, with a tone of voice so low that the sound almost didn't come out of her mouth.

"You don't have to keep it down. They're over fifty feet up. They wouldn't be able to hear us." Shiro tried to be as polite as possible to the girl.

Nathalia was confident. She picked up a stick on the ground, moved some bush aside, and began to draw in the mud while explaining:

"Pay attention. We are here, and they are here." E-Class quickly drew something that resembled the trunk of a tree. At the top of that drawing, she made a circle at the bottom of it. "We will only get one chance to attack them, and we have to kill at least four. So we have to make a fail-safe plan."
