Gilbert
You decide not to settle for taking down one quarter of the birds and give no quarter. With more time, you have gotten about half of them and the portal grows. You can hear a loud rumbling coming from the portal; and only now are the birds beginning to retreat...
Elysia
(Note, I do not see a reference in your character sheet about a mark on your hand. This sounds relevant enough to add to your appearance)
You use your 読Ether Prediction-Reading to figure out what this person means by a mark. First you check the future where you show him your hand. In this potential future, see one of the black furred creatures look at you though a window on the side of the house.He says "What am I looking at, what is this?". It seems like this is not what he was looking for.
Checking the past is more informative, and you see two noteworthy events. In both events a pale colored version of whatever this person's species is approaches their abode. The first one knocks on the door and says "May I come in?". The resident says something similar to what he said to you, and the visitor refused. The resident then said "The kings won't back up the likes of you. Go away!"
The second visitor turns out differently. The second one approaches the window and points to a pair of red dots on his (or her) neck. The resident says a word you don't recognize, but in this context it seems like a profanity. The then says "Very well. You may come in." The vision cuts out here...
