Ace in the Feywild #17

Still shaken from the fire, Ace and Egg continue on south-east towards the Bandersnatch Court where the Sphinx had told them where Jub might be. 

They came to a thick, dark, overgrown forest that smelled like moss and swamp. It is unusually quiet for a forest and no birds seem to be singing, though from time to time, the two do here a flutter or scurry of movement around them. 

Egg looks around them constantly, sure that they are being watched. She looks up and stops walking. Ace immediately notices that Egg isn't moving and turns to see what's wrong. Following Egg's gaze, she looks above them and her mouth falls open.

High in the air, tethered by thin strings of white light, were about a dozen figures. Humanoids, wings, scales, big, small, young children- They were all motionless, suspended like morbid balloons above the tree tops.

Ace gasps and her hand flies to her mouth as her eyes are drawn to one figure while large black wings. Hair billows up over his face, but contrasting the silky black is a braid of Ace's white hair.
