WHOOSH!!!
The Lantern Rays cut through the night sky like arrows of light, their massive wings beating in synchronized rhythm as they carry us northward.
These flying Magivores are among the fastest means of transportation in the kingdom—massive creatures with bioluminescent patterns along their bodies that glow like living constellations.
The Royal Family keeps a small fleet of them for emergencies.
This qualifies.
I ride the lead Lantern Ray, Klein seated behind me, his hands gripping the harness with white-knuckled intensity. He's never been comfortable with heights, but his determination to find Seraphina overrides his fear.
Behind us, more Lantern Rays carry Aunt Leila, Seth, and twenty of the Kingdom's finest Royal Knights.
I would have gathered more, just in case, but we've run out of time.
Each one is equipped with their best Armaments and loaded with Potions specifically chosen for combat against unknown paranormal threats.
We're as prepared as we can be.
