A scene

A Zephyr lands on the ledge above the Mu cliff road, wings half spread, a long spear across her back. Taro, the caravan's Druas mage, looks up and quietly reads her from eighty feet below. Hostile, the spell tells him, cold and certain. He signals the drovers to keep their hands away from their bows and sends up a gift of salt and fine thread on a rope. When he reads her again after she has hauled it in, the answer has changed to neutral. It is enough to pass.
