The large dragon like creature startled David, that much was certain, his face showed it. His body may have been undergoing a transformation, but he was not familiar with all that Eldorath had to offer, and fantastical beasts and creatures were going to be new to him. The fact that Leara approached it immediately was a positive sign at least, but still he was apprehensive. The creature didn't seem to trust him at all, and that was at least David's interpretation of what he saw. Once he knew what the creature was called, Perathon, he waved. There was no point in trying to shake hands with the monstrosity, he didn't feel like being torn to shreds by the rather large claw like feet that adorned the Irtargoth.<b>"It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance."</b>David chimed in after Leara finished asking the creature for a ride.<b>"I too would be grateful for safe passage."</b><br/><br/>Perathon looked on in wonder and amazement, the human David, as Leara called him was still unreadable and he did not understand why. It also did not please him in the slightest, but he trusted Leara's judgement. When David waved to him he nodded his large head, the head was strange, almost like that of a bulldog though the snout resembled a horse.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b359">"I should be able to oblige you, I was headed toward Neria anyways, many have been summoned, some big announcement to be made, and representatives from all realms in the Kingdom are mandated to attend."</span>With that he bent down so that David and Leara could climb on top of him. There was a thick layer of fur at the neckline for one of them to hold onto while the other would have to hold onto the waist of the 'driver'.<br/><br/>David climbed aboard eagerly, while he was apprehensive at first, it was nice that the creature spoke of helping them, and for some reason he couldn't explain he felt like he could trust Perathon. David waited patiently for Leara to climb aboard, giving her access to the mane of fur, as his hands would then wrap around her waist. He watched as the mighty wings began to flap, lifting them high into the air, he could see clearly all of the wonderful majestic things that awaited him, or at least he thought it was all of the things, and in the far distance he saw the white stone tower where the council was awaiting his arrival.<b>"Wooooohoooo!"</b>David screamed from the back as Perathon took off, the wind rushing through his hair, the clean, crisp, freshness was amazing. Nothing tainted by smog or carbon monoxide, just clean air, and as it filled his lungs he felt like a kid on a magic carpet ride.<b>"This is amazing Leara, so many wonderful plants, trees, and birds from here. I can see why this is a truly magical place."</b>He said to his companion in front of him.<br/><br/>There were pine trees colored lavender, oak trees that were neon red, and fruit trees of all kinds of various colors and fruits that David had never seen before. Some of the birds, if that was even the proper term looked familiar enough, except they had subtle differences, some had actual teeth, fang like, canine like, and the feathers glistened and didn't look so soft. In fact many of the feathers were razor sharp and hard, though light in nature. Many of them could speak common, or mimic at least a few of the words, common being the language that most resembled American English, though some differences in dialect were bound to come up. At the rate they were flying David ventured their half a day jaunt would become a mere half hour ride, maybe forty five minutes at the most.
