Aquila stroked the goose in her lap, making gentle shushing noises at the bird. She fastened a sealed note to its leg, and released the bird. The bird took off, hissing and honking, snapping at those too slow to get out of its way. The bird was destined for the Lord Flayer, demanding his presence. On its way, the Goose maimed a baker, a mason and killed at least one child.
As Aquila watched the bird go, she smiled.
"A success. Have the Dominion's entire messenger guild replaced with Geese."
