Alec looked at his body as he stalked along with the other harpy. His time was now. "Look out a 2 armed turkey!"
"What?!" The other harpy looked around in a panic.
"Possession!"
The light was instantaneous. Alec felt the pain in his head from the fall and the sharp pain in his shoulders where the harpy's talons had penetrated his skin. He was back in his own body.
He immediately turned and bolted to the scythe and in the same swift motion grabbed and yanked it through the thick rope.
"It's a trap!" one of the harpies yelled.
But it was too late, the rope swished forward as the large feeding bag plummeted down. One harpy was furiously eyeing him, while the other was staring at the other harpy in disbelief, just as the large bag knocked them down.
A loud thud was heard, followed by the rushing of wind, feed and dust as the bag burst open.
Alec sat coughing on the floor, scythe still in his hand. He didn't hear the harpies. Slowly, with his eyes trained on the dust cloud, he slowly got up and grabbed a rope.
He tried to walk, but felt a sharp pain in his knee. He must've had a bad fall.
As the dust slowly started to settle he spotted the harpies underneath the feed. He limped over. They seemed to be alive, so he tied them up as best he could. He was no boy scout in his previous life, but it should hold them.
Alec breathed a sigh of relief, he sat down again and closed his eyes. "I've done it."
His eyes flew open as light poured into the barn. A large man was in the door opening.
"Oh mys god! "Is can't believes yous did it."
He heard the familiar voice of Pete.
The tied up harpies stirred. "You landborne scum! I'll scratch your eyes out!" One screeched.
"I knew you liked it kinky, so how about you 2 strong men untie us. I'll make it worth your while." The other sang seductively.
Pete just ignored them, he lumbered over and looked the 2 women up and down and whistled. "Is trulys impressed." He turned his attention to Alec. "Yous okay though? Tell me what happened."
Alec tells most of what happened, however he decides to leave his power out of the story. By the end Pete seems truly impressed.
"Nices trapping skills. But Is will need tos bes reimbursed for the feed. That's expensives."
Crap! Alec thought.
Pete laughed, he must've seen it in Alec's eyes. "The magic guild will loves theses harpies. Lives ones ares rares. It will mores than makes up what yous cost. Let's gos eat."
"Don't you dare you lieing filthy humans!" The angry one screeched.
"How about you untie us? This rope is just sooo harsh on my soft silky skin." The other said seductively, while moving her large breasts over the rope holding them.
After breakfast Alec felt much better, the pain in his knee was gone and Pete had given him some band aid for his shoulder. The talon wounds weren't deep, so just some disinfection was all that was needed. Fortunately, he'd swapped places with the harpy on time. Any later and the talons would've pierced much deeper.
Over breakfast Pete had already shown him the cost of the feed, after that his pay was well over half gone. But still, he had earned some money and some valuable experience. And even better, he had options for more money.
Together with Pete he loaded the tied up women on Pete's cart.
"Yous want to go to thes magic guild?"
