Chapter 16: The Eyes of the Sky

As they reach the outskirts of the castle, Myrine’s powers reach a new evolutionary peak. In a moment of intense focus, she projects her consciousness into the mind of a native Betwonium bird, “Captrimulgius”. Through the bird’s eyes, she performs a high-altitude reconnaissance of the fortress and the surrounding plains. From this breathtaking perspective, she sees the sheer magnitude of the task ahead. The visual data is overwhelming, but Myrine’s analytical mind categorises the troop movements and supply lines, identifying a narrow window of opportunity to strike. She realises that her role is no longer just to survive; she must become the tactical leader of the Light Force resistance.
