As you feel around the foot, you look down and see that whatever monster you clung to was hovering over the ground at least one hundred feet. Then you see that this foot ended in talons like that of a bird and several blue feathers as big as you come down. You look up and see that you had hitched a ride on Icy.
Icy was a snowbird harpy, similar in appearance to an Articuno, but with an hourglass figure and a beaked face. She was still relatively new here, Icy recently graduated from high school and was hired by Destiny to work as a guard, that was just last week. As such Icy was still a little green and was easily the least competent of Destiny's guards. Not that it wasn't expected, the rest of the guards had to be at least ten years older than the harpy.
Of course you quickly climb the foot the hide in the feathers above Icy's knees. Icy may still be a newbie, but she was as dangerous as Cree and Clover. You didn't think a skinny thing like her could put away the humans, but you were wrong. What's worse was that Icy could generate extremely cold breezes by flapping her wings and could freeze humans solid. You once even saw her pick up a frozen human and lick him like a popsicle. You couldn't let your guard down around this giant bird.
Icy flaps around as she holds her keys in one of her clawed feet and was humming to herself before she hit her head on the ceiling and had to shake it off. "Ouch,' she says. "Okay, better be more careful about flying indoors. I can't believe this. I still can't believe I managed to hold a job for one whole week and such a sweet one. I wonder how Cousin Elle's doing in Horrorville. Oh, I hope I get to catch some humans trying to escape. Gee, I wonder if Cree and Clover like me. Simone's kinda cool, but those other two are scary. Wait, maybe I need to find out the names of the guards on the other levels. Hmmm."
You let out a sigh and continue to climb the feathered titaness. It was going to be a long day with her. Hopefully that bird won't find you, or you're sunk.
