Odin's Featherduster?

Job:

This was going to be fun! Ean had told her they were doing a special search for some feathers from a mythical creature rumored to be where they were now arriving at. The place was in ruins. Of course, that was why they were called 'ancient ruins' anyways. Had they not been a mess, they would be called the 'ancient city' or 'old fortress' or some other name not using ruins. She had talked to Ean about the shop, Enola, weapons, blacksmith work, mining, and any other topic her mind could come up with as words ran out. Had Ean every gotten talkative, maybe she wouldn't have had to do all the talking, or get him aggravated every few minutes.

”Well! Now that we're here, boss, how do you want to handle this?” She was excited again, the jobs being different than what she was normally used to. All of hers had been important, usually involving the life or death of someone or some other discovery. Today's job was about finding feathers for a member of their guild. Ean had been requested with making the best feather duster he could, and was here to collect the feathers of a creature that was rumored to be here. She was hoping the fowl existed, just so the two of them could see what it looked like. She had heard nothing about it's description, just that Ean wanted the feathers from the bird to make his tasked object he was asked to make.

After a loud train ride and a walk where Aiyana wouldn’t stop asking questions, they had finally gotten to their destination. Ean already had a headache but had the same brooding expression he always had. From what they were looking for to what they could expect and Ean had no answers which only prompted more questions he couldn’t answer.

When they arrived, Aiyana asked yet another question. Ean scratched his head and pinched the back of his nose in irritation. “It’s a bird. If it’s here it’ll be outside. Just look for high ground and keep an eye out for anything out of the,” Ean’s eyes drifted as he saw a few black blurs swoop down and attack. Ean quickly ducked out of the way but not before one of the blurs left a scratch across his cheek with its talens. Ean placed one hand was turned into a fist and place just an inch above the ground as if he was holding something perpendicular to the earth as he bent over and a magic circle appeared under it. His other hand was held open and raised to the air. “Forge,” he muttered as he slammed his hand to the ground over his hand and a brief flash shown around him.

When the flash subsided Ean was upright with a knife in his left hand. “Iron dagger,” he muttered as he steeled himself and prepared as the blurs turned around and came back at him. This time prepared when they got close Ean slashed and took out two of them as the limp bodies of two crows fell behind him and the other, in surprise, simply fled the scene.

Her question received a simple answer, something she had come to expect from Ean in the time she had worked for him. This was only the second job she had taken with him, yet she had already known how he would react to certain things. That didn't change much, though, as she felt one should never have to change who they are for another person to accept them.

It wasn't but moments after her boss' response that three blurs flew past, once scratching the silent man's nose in the process. It was then that she got to see Ean's magic used for the first time in combat. It was an interesting make type magic, one she could definitely being his style with the type of career he was in. With the weapon he had created he slashed at two of the crows, killing them, while the last ran away in terror.

”Well! Looks like this is going to be eventful trip! Just getting here and the birds are already angry and attacking.”

With that statement Aiyana drew her weapon, the beautifully made khopesh she had grown fond of since acquiring the item. The gold flashed in the sunlight as she checked it over, making sure it wasn't in need of repairs just yet. The weapon passed her basic inspection and she lowered her hand to her side, weapon remaining at the ready in it. He charm bracelet around the same wrist made some noise, the enchanted charms clicking against each other as she began walking quietly forward. Now that they knew the place was hostile, there was no sense to rushing straight in.

Ean gave a nod of agreement to Aiyana as he noticed two massive spiders turn the corner from the front. They saw the two flesh bags that had wandered into the ruins and charged at them. At the same time, Ean saw two more crows coming around the bend and was a little agitated at how many monsters were here.  Ean also heard something from behind as he slashed the two crows without too much difficulty and the knife he was carrying crumbled. Ean made the assumption that Aiyana would deal with the spiders and he looked behind him and the look on his face, for the first time in an incredibly long time and the first time in miss Sheur’s tenure as an employee, actually showed exactly what he was thinking.
 
What the fuck? Was the thought that ran through Ean’s mind as he saw two chickens charging at him just like the spiders were. It was so ridiculous that even Ean had to show a little emotion and he showed more than a little as the chickens leaped up to try and peck at his face. Ean grabbed both chickens mid-jump by their necks and stared at them for a bit before finally speaking. “Dinner,” Ean muttered and the chickens immediately started to panic and flail around. Ean simply let them go and they ran off in sheer terror of the mighty predator that was Ean Vanguard. The savage monster that ate chickens and they were lucky to survive an encounter with.

The two didn't get a chance to move before they got a swarm of creatures to start coming for them. 'We come here looking for a specific bird, and all we find are crows, chickens and spiders?' With a sigh, Aiyana ran at the spiders that were charging at the worker and boss duo. She didn't need her pet to help just yet, the two spiders were just larger ones with no special characteristics. Her pet could summon many different kinds of creatures and monsters that could come in handy in any kind of situation, but two spiders was so simple that the bandaged mage could almost laugh at it. Having been up against all types of enemies, including other mages, spiders of any size was something she could manage.

Upon getting close enough the two spiders both did a forward lunge to bite at the young woman. A simple jump to her right got her out of the way of one set of mandibles, a sword swinging up to meet the other pair to slice straight through it's head. With a head cleaved in two the spider dropped to the ground, legs flying out as it died. The other spider, undeterred by the death of the other, sent out a spray of web upward to try and have it land on the girl fighting against it. Not waiting to be caught in such a trick she ran up to it before sliding underneath it. Her weapon met the soft underside of the creature as she did so, the splash of the liquids inside of it trailing behind her as it bled out quickly.

As she stood to brush herself off a flutter of wings could be heard. Aiyana looked up in time to see a pair of crows coming towards her in time to swing the blunt side of her khopesh into the skull of one of the fowl creatures. It fell limp to the ground, the other bird flying off into the distance to keep from having the same fate. Turning to Ean, the young woman asked a single question? ”Can we move on and find this stupid bird? Not going to enjoy fighting off a swarm of birds all day.”
