The young girl let a savage, bird-like scream out of her wounded mouth, and she tosses what seems like a feather up in the air.
As the feather vanish from everyone sight, people surrounding her understands that the scream weren't just for show, they were a call, and indeed, the call is answered by a multitude of hoarse screeches.
They came out in the sun, from everyone blind spot simultaneously, with their bones visible, their translucid skin glowing of a faint hue of blue, visible only in little spots, while all the rest is covered in red feathers. No one knew their name, obviously, but she knew, and she called them, in their language, and they talked, in a symphony of clicks, screeches and growls.
Suddenly, the two creatures stopped talking, and slowly turned their head against the nearest enemy, lowering their hips, swaying their tail, analysing their prey, and finally, they jumped.

He raises his weapon, its barrel lined with shifting holographic data, and the air crackles with anticipation.
