He stepped out of the castle.
In the courtyard, Storm Griffin King Baofeng was resting beside the Dragon Thorn Fruit Tree. The spot had become his exclusive resting place.
Raylo called out to him.
Baofeng's eyes snapped open. He stretched his massive wings, which were covered in tawny Iron Feathers, and flew over, stirring up a gust of wind.
Seeing Raylo, he let out a low cry.
Without bringing anyone else, Raylo swung himself onto the Storm Griffin King's broad back.
"Let's go!"
The Storm Griffin King gave a powerful flap of his wings, kicking up a cloud of dust. His massive body shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow, swiftly ascending to just below the clouds.
His streamlined body easily parted the strong air currents. Baofeng became a cyan streak, speeding toward the northeast of the territory.
Raylo didn't fly directly to the Stone Forest Group.
