Bab 142: Change of Plans

High in the sky just beyond the borders of Ponlinne, two people were being carried in the talons of a roc. Suddenly, they both disappeared and reappeared on top of the roc behind another man.

"Jeez, kid, your luck with women is crazy!" shouted Rydel.

Keela blushed, uncertain how she should interpret the meaning of Rydel's statement.

"Shut up! Let's hurry and get out of here!" yelled Jack. "Don't waste time, just go!"

Not wanting to mince words verbally, Rydel replied telepathically. 'Seriously, kid, weren't you coming here to revive your girlfriend? And now you're bringing another girl home? If you manage to pull this off, I can't wait to see the look on her face.'

'Shut up and fly!'

Seeing that Jack wasn't in the mood for jokes about his love life, Rydel set his gaze on the horizon and let Ayden toward the border.

Uneasy about being so high in the air and riding on such a powerful beast, Keela clung tightly to Jack.
