The trip across the bridge, too, was slow and painstaking: partly out of his habit of filing everything away to remember it later, partly out of caution, and partly, if he was being honest, out of dread for what lay beyond.
Gingerly he made his way across, and when his foot touched the ground on the other side he exhaled without realizing he'd been holding his breath.

He was ready this time. He went in, literally, guns a-blazin'.
He didn't enjoy this. It felt wrong, somehow. But it was him or them, and Amity always looked out for himself above anyone else.
He'd left Coyote alone again, and felt only the dimmest stirrings of remorse. She could fend for herself.
The shrieking was the worst. He could never tell what was a caw of rage and what was a scream of pain as a bullet hit true. It was just mindless cacophony. Noise. That was something else Amity hated.

Just as before, it was keeping his footing that proved to be the most complicated part of the whole damned ordeal. Trying to focus on the narrow ledge and dealing out damage would have been hard enough on its own, but in the clamor it was nearly impossible. When his foot slipped and he heard a stone bouncing into the void below, he barely noticed that the shot went wide.

Steady. Steady. Shielding his face with his arm he stumbled back onto more solid ground, but the assault was relentless. He managed a better volley this time, but he'd have been lying if he'd claimed it was anything better than luck.

Jesus Christ, the noise. The noise! Nothing made of fog should be capable of this much disruption. It hurt him almost more than the swiping claws did. He blindly loosed a few shots. The advantage of being attacked by a flock of things was that even randomly-fired shots had some chance of hitting home.

Another slip. He was dimly aware of his foot hovering over the precipice, and scrambled backwards with a feeling of nausea. Too much for him to even try to fire again. The buffeting wings and tearing claws descended.

One more. He mastered himself, tried to not hear the ear-splitting shrieking, and he leveled the gun carefully, deliberately, on the biggest.
The bullet found its mark. The shrieking dissipated and Amity, shaken, stood on the narrow cliffside and collected himself.
He finished the ascent.
At the top, he sat down for a moment, exhausted, and he stared at the endless fog and when he felt that sensation of being watched he thought he knew, now, maybe why it was. As good a theory as any. The fog of a thousand fallen enemies. Maybe he'd end up there one day.
He could only hope. He didn't think fog had much chance of being curious or driven. To be relieved of that would be a blessing.
More of a blessing than this.

She had enough experience with the bridge that she knew that the best way was just to take a deep breath and run through it.
And so she did.

"You guys never give it a rest, do you?" And without even waiting for a reply, she swung her weapon. Hard.

Another miss. She was getting annoyed, and the harpies were getting shrieky.
...They were just always shrieky no matter what.

But it wasn't as if she actually minded killing them. At the very least, she felt some pride surging within her as she cut them down.
Anything to stop them from being such shrieky little assholes.
