Early the next morning, Vivian left with her people.
Deepwater City's compound wasn't far from here, so it wouldn't take them long to get back.
Ethan and the others got up, ate breakfast, and took off on their flying mounts too.
Aurora came along with them to Fallen Star City. At this point she was basically glued to the Fallen Star Squad.
With Aurora included, there were ten of them total—perfect. Five flying mounts, two riders per mount.
The only problem was that Ethan couldn't ride Flint alone anymore. Every mount had to carry two people.
Ethan had originally planned to pair up with Chris, but Mia gave her seat to Aurora and hopped onto Flint behind Ethan instead.
Ethan was thrown off.
Something about Aurora had felt a little… off lately.
Ethan wasn't exactly some social genius, but even he could tell Mia had been acting strange recently.
Was she actually making a move on him?
