Leech rode Rocket, flying through the sky. After leaving the desert floor far behind, he soared above a sea of clouds where the temperature dropped considerably.
The light of dusk shone from the west, spilling across the sea of clouds and searing the cotton-like white clouds to a golden yellow. Some of the light fell directly on the right side of Leech's face. In that moment, he seemed to transform into a Knight in golden armor.
He had set out ahead of his troops, disregarding his own safety, a selfless scout exploring the dangers ahead… by flying at an altitude of over ten thousand feet.
From the ground, even someone with the vision of a Transcendent looking up would see nothing more than an insignificant black dot. Besides, at ten thousand feet, he was well out of attack range. Unless a Griffin or a Giant Dragon suddenly shot out of the sky, he was quite safe.
For this expedition, the team was only assigned two Corpse Ghosts.
