The queen of the hive hawks was flying over the mountains along with most of the flock, finally reaching her goal. They took longer than expected, mainly because The Queen had a hard time understanding what she had to do here.
Despite being incredibly intelligent, teaching her how to attract clouds and charge them electrically was a challenge for Emilia. After an hour of lecture, the queen finally understood what had to be done and led the flock into the mountains.
The queen followed Emilia's instructions and crossed the first mountain, looking for clouds that had not yet reached the mountain and were not too heavy. It would be much simpler to attract the clouds before they had reached the mountains and the heavy clouds were in danger of already being charged and the hawks would become lightning rods if they used lightning magic in that situation.
