Bob took the orb, "I expected no less from the Archmage who took the throne of the Kingdom of the Sky.  I shall be on my way then."<br/><br/>He left the throne room and headed for the stables.<br/><br/>"Well what do you think Flare?"  He asked the Flare Sword.<br/><br/>"I think he's way too full of himself, when the time comes, he'll be easy prey."<br/><br/>Bob chuckled at Flare's comment then put his fingers to his lips and whistled.  From deep in the stables a winged horse emerged, with a wingspan that reached a full six feet from wingtip to wingtip.  It's fur was also an unusual splotching of camoflauge.  He had been lucky to come upon this beautiful beast years ago, and he had developed a deep friendship with it by now.<br/><br/>"Well Sarge we've got a princess to sway into trusting us, she's down in the forest below, so let's get going."<br/><br/>With that he jumped on Sarge's back and the horse took off running.  They came to the edge of the floating city and Sarge jumped off catching the wind and gliding off.
