First, I heard a report from a few scouting Beehounds Malevolence sent to watch out for dangers ahead. It was sent to Malevolence, but I was close enough to hear it in her thoughts.
I and 50 soldiers led by Malevolence were flying near Tamsha. The man and his servants walked amid the mountains on foot (their horses were left near our camp, under the promise that the bees will watch them until our return), watching out for feathered snakes in the forests below.
'There are several dragons on the branches—the big kind. Their scent seems… ah, they were following us, Lieutenant Malevolence!'
Malevolence reacted quickly.
'More details, scout! How many of them, for how long they have been following us, what dragons these are?'
The scout began listing things she and her sisters found: seven dragons of medium and large size that they've seen. Hawks, kites, eagles, owls—I wouldn't identify any of them as Earth species if I didn't have opportunities to look at them with the system's sight.
