Wind bounced under the wings of the bird creatures with long beaks as they flew above the building.
The female soldier holding the shimmering white sword walked lazily inside, kicking her boots against the broken chairs and pushing the scattered tables aside.
Entering an open door, she stopped, clenched the sword forward, and stepped back until her spine touched the wall.
She stood at its front when she saw three of the dog-like creatures tearing a fresh human child apart.
She swallowed hard as one of the child's eyes popped out, rolled across the ground, and stopped in front of her.
Though the creatures were busily and forcefully tearing the skin apart, she dared not move until one of them turned its head and grinned at her.
Dust spiraled in the air as she ran through the doors on the third floor of the building, shouting and pushing broken tables at the creatures that countered her.
