Searching for a plant was a simple enough job, especially given its location. This meant Malphas would be killing two birds with one stone, assuming this temple was the very same place he needed to go to. In other words, this was more or less a breeze across these snowy woodlands, the softness of the snow allowing for a rather unimpeded journey. Malphas hummed a nice traveler's song to himself, enjoying the wonders of nature.

Of course, this meant that he would actually [i]not[/i] notice his pursuers until it was far too late.

Realizing these strange, feathered raptors surrounding him, Malphas froze in his tracks, caught like a deer in headlights. His smile became increasingly more awkward the more he realized just what sort of position he was in, his eyes landing on each of them as if he were taking count. One or two would have been doable, three would have been a fight with some chances, and four would have been a rough time... but five? They didn't seem well engaged on him, yet, so perhaps Malphas could just [i]ask[/i] these lizard birds to go away?

Malphas took a deep breath, but before he filled his lungs with the same magical energy he had done so earlier, he recalled the fox merchant's words once more. Ah, perhaps such charms don't work against animals as well? Or perhaps whatever he would say to them would have some unintended consequences. In any case, Malphas resolved to do something else with his held breath...

"[color=lightblue]Look over there! Is that a bear?![/color]" Malphas shouted as he pointed his finger at a certain direction. He wasn't sure if these beasts would fall for such treachery considering his lack of experience with animals, but it was still a chance he needed to take. Whether they leaped back from his sudden loud voice and movements, actually turned around, or just got angrier, Malphas would manifest his wings of faith once more. He would then fill his legs with magical energy, leaping into the treeline! 

Hopefully, these raptors were bad climbers, and hopefully, their wings weren't as suitable for flying...
