48 Mutyxs First Time in the Floating City (1/2)

Garrik and Mutyx enjoyed the ride, Mutyx, more so than Garrik. The fresh air hit them, making their hair flow with the wind. They kept continuing in a straight line above the clouds, looking over everything.

Flocks of birds flew under them, landing at a lake to drink water. Large herds of animals roamed the ground below, eating away at the grass.

Just like that, half an hour passed. Mutyx fell asleep, snoring away on top of Alpha. Garrik, on the other hand, was wide awake. Unlike his master, he couldn't sleep.

Garrik looked around and saw some familiar landmarks. ”We're almost there.” Garrik pointed to his left at the savannah. ”Go that way.”

Alpha jerked left, changing his direction and heading for the savannah. The savannah is the Lolleon's territory. The savannah is where the Lolleon's built their first city.

As they flew over the savannah, they saw buildings in the distance. They were mere dots because they were so high up, but Garrik had an excellent vision, partly because of the ring, and Alpha had perfect mechanical eyes.

Threats rarely came from the skies, so the residents of the city didn't bother looking up. They just continued going by their day, unaware that a mechanical dragon was flying right above them.

Even if they did look up, all they would see was a golden streak in the night sky, comparable to a shooting star.

Thankfully, they flew right above the city, undetected. They continued flying through the savannah, Mutyx still asleep.

After flying for some time, they finally saw a jungle and something floating in the sky. The thing floating in the air was, of course, the floating city.

”Go land under the city, but not directly under it. A few several meters away would be perfect,” Garrik ordered Alpha.

Alpha nodded and turned his body downwards to the ground. ”Hang tight!”

Alpha started plummeting downwards. He brought his wings closer to him so he would be more aerodynamic.

Garrik held on tight as they gained more and more speed. The speed and air together lifted him from his seat, which scared him even more. Somehow, Mutyx was still sleeping and showed no signs of flying out of his place.

Alpha smiled as he plummeted downwards. ”Whooooo!”

Garrik watched as they got closer and closer to the ground. ”Alpha, stop!”

”Don't worry. I got this.” Alpha got lower and lower, but he knew that if he got any lower, it would injure his passengers, so he raised his wings last second. The wind caught under his wings and gently brought him down for a soft landing. ”That was fun!”

”I... don't know... about that...” Garrik jumped off the saddle and started puking on the ground. He groaned as he wiped his mouth. ”Ughhh.”

Mutyx finally began waking up. He opened his eyes, looking around. There were trees all around him. ”Be we finally here?”

Garrik coughed. ”Don't worry about it. I just got a bit motion sick. That's all.”

”If ye say so. How do we get into tha city?” Mutyx asked.

”We can't bring Alpha. He would attract too much attention,” Garrik replied.

Mutyx nodded. ”I have just tha thing for that.” Mutyx went up to Alpha. ”Storage Mode.”
