[color:"#00bfff"]Yikes, I didn't want that to happen! I froze with horror, my dance in the air was not supposed to harm Jvb - Ascolan folded his wings and dropped like stone to the ground, headfirst. I ducked even more behind his neck and leant my whole body against his. Together we raced against gravity and Jvb's death - then I saw how DQueene had managed to catch him between her claws, the griffin spread his wings wide again to slow down our breathtaking way to earth.

With an elegant curve he took up speed again and then hovered in the air. I watched DQueene tethering and loosing balance - I stifled a scream - but she coped with it and as I opened my eyes again, I saw Jvb safely in the air again - dangling from her claws. Ascolan swooped down in an elegant curve - I saw Jvb's legs over me and pulled him down behind me with a quick jerk. Not one second too early - with a dreadful RIPPP - his jacket tore and he plopped safely down on the griffin's back.

"Sorry, Jvb, from now on we'll fly decently," I mumbled ashamed.

DQueene floated next to us - her eyes were worried. I gave her a sign and we flew side by side via Rabaer's Castle.

"It's not far anymore, do you see the lake? The Castle is very near now," Ascolan spoke. "Your young one here is capable of more - just give him time."

Guess, Jvb will need new clothes again... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
