After a dizzying whirl...
The pungent stench of blood swept over him, mingled with raging winds.
Su Ye stood on a narrow outcrop of rock. Looking down, he saw a bottomless abyss below, its depths shrouded in churning clouds.
Looking up, he saw a sheer cliff piercing the clouds like a divine sword.
The wind scraped furiously across the rock face like blades, ringing out with the sharp clang of metal.
Five enormous black platforms were scattered up the smooth, precipitous cliff.
They were nests built from countless pieces of hard wind-eroded wood shimmering with azure light.
Screech!
