Shard was on guard post per usual, he was just beginning to get used to the knick knacks of tree guarding, while it was easier than he thought one thing was for sure is that you can never be sure. Yes the tree is by far one of the safest places in all the kingdoms but if crows can be bothersome here Shard doesn't see why the enemy couldn't easily follow them in disguise and raid the island. He later shrugged himself off to be catching paranoia but when he simply brought it up to Ezylrb even he scoffed, nobody seemed to be taking the slightest bit seriously or even into consideration, being lonesome in his concerns Shard glided off into flight as he began his border duties, in a swift glance he caught a black spot in the corner of his eye and dived towards it already knowing its another pesky crow trying to get past the gate, he attacked it slashing at its chest but he suddenly paused, this crow had an oddly flattened face and was far more larger than average, the tips of shards talons were stained black, the 'crow' huffed and ducked under him almost disapearing but luckily he caught sight and began chasing it across the sea, it was trying to lead him into a far storm, he was smart enough to hold his wings and turn back for home, "I'll get them next time" he mumbled to himself.
