The sound of creatures crying out fills the night air, the Alpha most noticeable as hers is more meldious and high-pitched. The skeletons of the castle fidget nervously as the cries grow louder.
The hatchling kept captive shows worry in their eyes, posture hunched as they look out the window. Nadir is observing them while other skeletons were discussing matters around a map and a few documents, curious as to what they are.
A few of the occupants jump as the sound of bodies crashing and claws scratching join the cries. The younling reacts to the new sounds with a sound of distress and fidgets for a moment before stilling once more. Nadir notices, but says nothing.
Shouting echoes around the castle halls, the clashing of armor causes the skeletons who were seated to jump up and others to take a defensive stance.
There is a scuffle heard before the door to the room burst inwards, the hinges breaking from the impact as creatures of raptor-like appearances are revealed.
The skeletons hardly have time to react as the creatures lunge towards them with teeth bared and talons outstretched.
Unable to summon any constructs bigger than a bone attack, the skeletons are forced to fight hand to hand combat. Nadir hides himself in the shadows, observing while knocking back those that stumbled or were thrown into him.
