Edward swallowed as they crossed the bridge, entering the wild land.
The first thing he saw was the old guardhouse. It was a squat, stone building, wrapped up in vines. There was a bird’s nest atop it. A fierce-looking raptor stood sentinel. It looked down at the two men with disdain.
“I’ve never seen a bird so bold in the face of man,” Edward said.
“The beasts will only get bolder the deeper we go,” Gregor replied grimly.
