Birds Of Prey (1)

An elderly man carried his arms behind his back and took a deep breath before wetting his dried lips to speak:

"Chief Eyas, it's time for you to give your speech, the people are waiting."

The Harpy in question was a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, his hair a navy blue color similar to his wings, and his eyes piercing blue.

Despite holding the seat of 'Chief of Frostfront,' his demeanor did not reflect his status, he looked rather timid and anxious.

"Ah, Elder, is it time already?"

Eyas asked in a tone that suggested a nerve-induced nausea, his stomach tied in knots as thoughts of standing in front of a large crowd plagued his mind, devouring what little self esteem he had left.

"Ugh... Do I really have to do this? Can't we just relegate the task to Lark?"
