Ambushed

Hour of Goat (01:00 PM - 02:00 PM)

It had been a few hours since Aksai bid farewell to Haitin.

They were approaching a dense, vegetated region, making it inconvenient to fly close to the ground.

As they soared higher, Aksai noticed the four other Foundation Building Experts riding their own eagles, flanking him like silent guardians. Their expressions were calm and focused, their eyes scanning the horizon for any potential threats.

As they continued to fly in silence, the only sounds were the rhythmic flapping of the giant flying eagles' wings and the soft whooshing of the wind. Suddenly, one of the Foundation Building Experts broke the silence.

"Lad, why don't we take a break here? The eagles have been flying for over six hours. They need rest, and we could use the time to recharge ourselves," said the bald sect elder.
