Try to focus. Try not to see them as a flock, try to see them as individuals. Focus on one. Take your time.
The shapes weaved in and out of the haze, among it and part of it. Another anguished metallic shriek and rattle of feathers as the blue light streaked off the cliff.

The flock was definitely smaller now, but it was also fiercer. He sacrificed the ability to shoot from both hands for the sake of shielding his face with his arm.

Let them hurt you long enough for you to gather your thoughts.
A deep breath, a yell of frustration, and a deafening volley of bullets and avian screaming.
And then, finally, silence. He waited with his eyes closed for the world to return to normal, aching and terrified, and filed the memory away carefully.
And then he turned to what he knew would be waiting for him.
The skin-crawling feeling that he was being watched was enough to shunt him back down the path, stoically refusing to look over his shoulder. He thought of hallways, and the click-click of scissors.

Two rocks later, Laurus learned the value of caution. Now she made sure before she moved each time that she wouldn't be dislodging anything or overextending the fragile wooden structures. She ascended without further mishap along the way.

Caution served Laurus well again as she stepped across the rope bridge with slow care. Once her feet were planted on firm ground again, she wondered if she might have been too slow. That bridge looked as if it were hanging by a thread now.
Well, no matter. She would just have to find another way down.

Close to the top, Laurus felt something swoop at her. If these harpies were solid enough to slash at her, she was going to give as good as she got. The impact of fist against hazy body was quite satisfying.

The harpies weren't going to give up so easily though. Another aerial swoop came, one large wing batting Laurus's head against the cliff.
Disoriented, her retaliatory punch was a little off, not doing nearly as much injury as she might have hoped.

As battering wings came close, jolting her against the rocks once more, Laurus clung on, unable to spare a hand to counter attack.

Acerola found herself facing the walls of the cliffs again. It was time to ascend to the top once more.
Carefully climbing to the top, taking the same path she did last time, she made it.

Sensing an advantage, the harpies closed in again, claws out to rend and tear. For such hazy creatures, they were a real menace.
Laurus held on tight as the force of their attacks kept inching her closer and closer to the edge.

More out of desperation than any coherent strategy, Laurus lashed out hard at the closest harpies. She landed a solid hit, pushing them back for a few seconds of relief. They were bound to close in again, alas.

Laurus's last hit seemed to have thoroughly ticked off her opponents. They redoubled their attack, sparing her no time to fight back. But an opportunity to retaliate had to come sooner or later, she told herself.
