The edge chronicles There were corpses of Shrykes all over the place, but the dead ones were all of a sudden replaced by other raging bird-ladies, which responded the alarm and flocked on the great road of the swamplands. Let's assault by the banisters ! Hollered Cisailleur Hearing him, Rémiz looked around him : the sky pirate repelled two Shrykes simultaneously. 'And don’t let them go', he grumbled, whereas the first shryke, and then the second one dropped dead on the floor. 'We will leave all together' Uttered Cisailleur. 'Once I would order you so'. On this moment, Rémiz saw a whirl of yellow and crimson feathers : a big beefed up Shrykes popped out from the dark behind Cisailleur. She wore a shiny breastplate and a feathered helmet. A serrated scythe swayed above her head. Captain ! Screamed Rémiz, who stomped her feet. Right on time, the pirate avoided the strike jumping on his left. The scythe hit and stuck into the planks. Cisailleur spinned his heavy saber round. With a sharp-toned shriek, the harpy cleared her throat and spitted. A shiny stream of saliva spurted and sprinkled on Cisailleur’s face. Screaming at disgust, he faltered backward to the trolley. Remiz surprised, restrained an exclamation. He understood, she wasn’t a usual guard. According to her bright feathering and her stature, this Shryke must belonged to the elite of Fauchard sisters.
