Time to go.
Jack and I stood at the launch pad, waiting for a good breeze. Cho and Ariana stood behind us, waving goodbye. I clutched my pendant. It was dull, unlit. Jack removed his arm from my waist and stepped aside to transform. He closed his eyes, and breathed in. Smiling to himself, he looked at rest. Peaceful. Even though he was about to accompany me on a four hour journey. He dipped his head, and his skin turned into sleek dragon hide, layered in black and green iridescent scales. Crouching, he fell into full dragon form, growing bigger and filling out into the Slovakian Wedgehorn. He had two mirror-like horns. His eyes were slim and still Jack...pale icy blue. I smiled up at him, suddenly so small as a bunny girl.
I breathed in and transformed. My skin rippled into black scales, with some platinum ones mixed in. My slim
eyes were reddish. My canines filed into small points. I blew a quick breath of fire before winking at Jack.
I turned around to see my friends waving farewell. I roared the signature call of the Platinara and felt a good riding breeze. Jack knew it too. We took off. Looking behind quickly, I saw Cho and Ariana had turned into dragons, and they were roaring goodbye. They shrunk back into humans.
We knew this path well. The tricky part was going through the portal. It was easy to miss if you weren't keeping a keen eye. We kept flying, tiring out but pushing ourselves to keep going. I felt bad for Jack. I really had no purpose of bringing him...but I wanted him to be with me. I could still feel excitement rolling off of him in waves, even though we had been flying for three and a half hours already. We talked some, watched the scenery, pushed each other around and pretending it was an accident. Finally I saw the portal and pointed it out. It was a glowing gold cloud. The makers tried to conceal it but failed, since the portal gleamed so brightly.
Holding our breath, we flew right through the cloud. I felt my body mass suck in, and morph through the portal. We tumbled out the other side, and landed on a mountaintop. This is where we usually go for the migration. I sighed. Fifteen more minutes and we were good. The pendant had begun to glow dimly, turn from vibrant green to a paler green. Soon it'd take a pale pink shade, then a red shade.
I was excited. I paused for a moment, though. I realized I had nowhere to go. I didn't know where we should be.
I stopped Jack and called Mirror. Even though it was a four hour flight for us, it was only a two second teleportation for Mirror.
"Where am I supposed to go, Mirror?"
Mirror showed me where to go, kind of like a GPS. She told me we weren't far, and we should be at a mansion on top of a tall mountain. The mansion would be straight forward, then slightly to the right.
I thanked Mirror and let her float next to us. Our trio flew straight and to the right, like Mirror instructed.
We had reached the mansion. I was thrilled! The pendant was completely white now, and was beginning to turn pink. My heart pounded and my feet touched grass. Shrinking back into a girl, I grippe the necklace with my human hands. Jack turned human and sighed.
"We were here for the migration just recently," he commented. Mirror remained in the air.
"Can I leave now?" She said playfully. I laughed.
"Of course not. You have to tell us where to go." She sighed.
"Fine. At the base of this hill there should be a hidden portal. Find it." She vanished.
I exhaled. "This will be easier in bunny form," said Jack. He turned into a thinner bunny with gray ears and spots. I turned into my signature bunny: pure white and adorably cute and small.
We hopped down the mountain, listening for potential danger. It was precariously dangerous for two good-sized rabbits to be jumping around in the woods. Bears. Wolves. Any predator unaware of the fact that we're not just bunnies.
This mountain was taller than I expected. Seemed miles high. Our heads cleared and our ears popped as we approached the bottom. Sighing, we kept tumbling to the bottom. Looking at Jack, I accidentally ran into a tree. Jack keeled over laughing, and rushed to my side through his laughing tears to help me up. I mock-scowled at him.
A hush fell over me as I inspected the tree. It was misshapen...
I turned into a girl. Jack turned into a boy.
Easily, I ripped the trunk open, like it was fabric, not wood.
Must be the portal.
I was about to take Jack's hand and step in, but something else happened.
Someone came running through the portal at top-speed. They obviously didn't expect someone to be on the other side. They went crashing head first into me, knocking me and Jack both over.
Dazed, I blinked. I was staring into the face of my target.
The bird girl.
