Leeca ~ Nature Class
------

After watching the crow speed off into the distance, I walked with Hiro, Kuchina and Kirsten in silence towards our goal. I almost hoped that the crow wouldn't come back with information, but it never helped to be cautious... Although maybe I should have chosen a swallow or eagle instead.. Something a little less greedy...

::CAW! We've got company!:: The crow snapped me from my thoughts, diving down to land on my arm. Hiro and Kuchina looked startled.
<What is it, what did you see?>
::A group, maybe five humans together.. Coming this way.. maybe one hundred feet ahead!::
<Thank you, but please, stay with us in case we need more help->

"Leeca, what is it?!" Hiro asked, possibly reading the alarmed look on my face.

"He says that there's a group of at least five a hundred feet ahead.. He doesn't know who they are, but we need to be careful." I said.

"Are we really going to trust a bird?" Kuchina asked, not rudely, but skeptically. I looked at him.

"It's really all we have." I responded, setting our black-feathered scout into the sky again. "What should we do?"
