The Hero and the Gleaming Scale Serpent were startled from their thoughts, stepping aside with surprise as the tall, yet weatherworn Chocobo charged straight towards the military camp.
Even though it was just a fleeting glance, that Chocobo wasn't just tall; its feather color was—
1. Golden Yellow
2. Jet Black♛
D2=d2(2)=2
Completely jet black, it was no slower than the two Chocobos blessed by the Phoenix, yet it ran lightly and silently, its movements crisp and efficient.
The Scout on its back was also well-equipped and urgently braked at the gate with a solemn expression.
"I have emergency intelligence!"
He flashed his credentials to the soldier on guard, making the soldier's expression turn serious as he quickly opened the gate.
As the gate opened, the Scout and the Chocobo vanished from sight, leaving the Hero and the Serpent behind them. The Hero stepped forward.
"Girl, this isn't a place for your excursions— Count's Black Card!?"
