Jay

As Jay had planned she followed Ben from a safe distance high in the trees making sure she doesn't alert him to her prescience and keeping a watch full eye out on his surroundings so she could keep him safe well he travels to his destination. after about 8 hours traveling slowly by air and having to land a majority of the time so her wings wouldn't get too exhausted from having to fly at a slow pace because Ben was walking at a moderate pace for a human but was still very slow for Jay considering that her species developed wings and have a huge height difference, she's a foot taller then ben and still smaller than the average male of her species, as for the female of her species they are taller then the average human and have oval face, their ears are slightly pointed and are offten decorated with all types of jems or with silver depending on the accasion, Jay herself use to wear quite a few including the ones that where gifted to her from the alpha of her flock.

As Jay had planned she followed Ben from a safe distance high in the trees making sure she doesn't alert him to her prescience and keeping a watch full eye out on his surroundings so she could keep him safe well he travels to his destination. after about 8 hours traveling slowly by air and having to land a majority of the time so her wings wouldn't get too exhausted from having to fly at a slow pace because Ben was walking at a moderate pace for a human but was still very slow for Jay considering that her species developed wings and have a huge height difference, she's a foot taller then ben and still smaller than the average male of her species, as for the female of her species they are taller then the average human and have oval face, their ears are slightly pointed and are offten decorated with all types of jems or with silver depending on the accasion. Jay herself is slightly taller than the average female of her species standing at 7'ft 8'in tall well the alpha of her species is 8'ft 9'in taller than any other male in the flock and completely dwarfs the human race.

As night began to fall upon the land Ben walked off the main path to find a place to camp for the night and rest so he can travel to the village that was two days away from his house but a four-day travel, if you don't count the three or two days, stay at the village inn well he's looking around in the shops and vendors. Jay who is sitting high up in the tree watching him start a fire and warming his hands as the air starts to get colder, she noticed Ben pull out a small journal and started to write in it. As it got later in the night Jay had moved to a branch directly over the fire so she could stay warm and keep watch over Ben well he sleeps seeing as Jay can last three days without sleep before it can affect her mentally, pulling the cloak tighter around herself as the night wore on she noticed the fire slowly dying and Ben looked like he was getting colder, so she slipped off the branch and with the help of her wings glided quietly down to the ground just a few feet away from Ben and went to work looking for some fallen branches or twigs to keep the flame a lite so Ben could stay warm and live threw the night. Once Jay had gathered enough branches and twigs she made hast back to Ben trying her best to not leave a trace that she was there and to keep the fire going, just as she arrived she noticed that the fire was almost out so she rushed to as quickly as she could and started to place the twigs and heavier branches in the dying fire to keep it alive and just when it looked like the fire was dead it came back to life slowly but surely until it looked strong enough to last the rest of the night, Jay looked over at Ben and sat next to him crossing her arms over her knees and placeing her head on top looking at the fire and listining to the forest.

Taking one last look at the fire before she decided to head back up to the branch she took one last look at Ben and noticed that he still looked cold so she moved closer to him and used her wings to shield them from the cold air to keep them warm. As the night went on Jay noticed that the sun would be rising soon and Ben would soon wake to find her there so she moved as quickly as she could without waking Ben up she made her way back up with the help of her wings she made it up in time as the first rays of light danced across the sky letting the creatures of the world know that its time to wake and go about there day until the next night, once Jay was sitting on her branch Ben started to wake up and streach out the nots in his back from having to sleep on the cold hard ground with out any blankets or pillows just with his travle bag to rest his head on and heavy cloak to keep him warm during the night along with the fire to previed more heat. Ben looked at the still alive fire half curious as to why it's still alive and not dead yet ignoring the fact that he didn't wake up cold like he normally does, as Ben gets ready to continue on his journey to the village that's now a day away Ben quickly eats some of the dried meat that he brought along and drank some of the water from a canteen in the travel bag and continues onward and fails to notice a fether by where he slept. As Ben made his way back to the main path followed by Jay high up in the trees not too far behind.

As Jay stayed in the trees she heard the flapping of wings high in the sky above her, deciding against looking for the person flying in the sky she stays close to Ben as best as she can without getting spotted. As they continued there separate journey to the village at a slow pace thanks to Ben, as time passed Ben began to smell smoke nearby and stopped in his tracks Jay had noticed the smoke as well but waited for Ben to do something so she stopped as well and waited for Ben to moved. It seemed like seconds were passing slowly until seven humans came out from behind the trees three of them had what looked like swords, two with bows and the last two holding two sets of daggers in both hands, seeing this Jay un laches the bow on her hip and pulls several arrows from the quiver she watched and waited from her hiding spot in the trees but she was ready to let the arrows go flying into the other humans if they posed a threat to Ben. One of the humans with a sword pointed it at Ben and demanded that he hand over any belongings of value over to them or else they'll hurt him, Ben being clever he answered with "I will not hand over anyone of my belongings and if you do not back down you'll be the ones that will get hurt." the other humans exchanged looks with each other and the same one that spoke said "look we know that you are only bluffing so why don't we make this easy just give us your blongings and well leave you, if you don't then theres no geranty that youll make it out alive."

Jay looked at Ben then to the other humans and readied her bow aiming for the one that had just finished threatening Ben, Ben lifted up his hands and spoke "look guys you may think that I am just bluffing but I know for a fact that you guys will get hurt and I'll be completely fine." and just as he finished talking one of the humans charged at him with the intent to maim him but before that person could get within three feet of him the attacker stopped and fell to the side dead, every one of the humans that threatend Ben just stood there looking at the dead person on the floor unawary of what had just happend even Ben was shocked cause Ben was only bluffing he did not expect for something to happen. Just as the human charged at Ben Jay quickly changed targets and aimed at the attacker letting the arrow fly and swiftly cut through the air and embed its self in the attacker's chest, and just before the attacker got within three steps of Ben that person fell over dead on the ground as Jay stood on her branch in a ready position with the bow still in her hand, she quickly moved to a new branch that was directly above Ben and pulled out more arrows to use against the humans facing Ben. Well Ben was still recovering from the shock one of the humans took this moment to charge at him head on and soon the others followed suit after that human, seeing them all come straight at Ben, Jay drop down from the branch she was on and as she fell she let loose two arrows hitting at least two of the humans in the back, as Jay landed in front of Ben, she used her wings to push him back and swiftly grab the sword that the dead human had on him and lonched fowered at the rest with the intent to kill them.
