[Espy]

Espy blinked twice. She was sure she'd just seen a bear fall from the sky, or an eagle change into a bear, or an eagle crush a human... She rubbed her eyes. She must be getting tired...

But there was still work to do. Ducking a swinging blade that had appeared out of nowhere, she jammed the butt end of her stave into a soldier's ribcage, then pulled her blade from its sheathe and slit his throat, dodging the spray of blood. Eurgh. Poorly armed and armored.

She rifled through his pouches and stuffed a few gold coins into her pocket, then wiped the dagger on the man's shirt. By the time she looked up, the bear -- or hawk -- was gone. ...So weird.
