Eva had a feeling no matter how many times Sebastian flew her along this path, she'd never be able to guide others to the places she'd seen.
Which was exactly what the Kyren were hoping for.
We're getting close,Sebastian said after what felt like an eternity.
Finally.
Eva's ass thanked him. It had been hours since their last rest stop and her lower extremities had long since gone numb. Persistent aches in her hips and the small of her back let her know they'd had about enough of this nonsense.
Sebastian's timing was impeccable since Eva had been planning to ask him for another rest break.
Now that there was an end in sight, she bit back that request and instead worked on making herself comfortable for the remainder of the ride.
Just a little further and then she'd finally be done.
Unable to resist any longer, Eva slid one boot out of a stirrup, straightening and bending her leg a few times before slipping her foot back into the stirrup and repeating the process with the other leg.
Finished, she twisted her upper half left and then right before settling down again.
It didn't quite work out all the kinks but it would do for now.
The sharp walls of a ravine rose around them. Fully extended, Sebastian's wings cleared the space with only inches to spare. The walls of the ravine were covered in moss and greenery, a river trickling under their feet.
They followed its snaking path as Eva stared around her in curiosity.
Hold on, Eva.
Sebastian picked up speed as a bend in the ravine approached. He banked, nearly turning sideways as they raced around the corner.
Eva caught her breath as the ravine jogged in the opposite direction.
Sebastian flapped his wings, following the twisting corridor without hesitation.
A rushing sound filled Eva's ears. "What is that?"
Her question went unanswered as she clung to Sebastian's back, leaning with him every time he had to shift direction.
The ravine widened slightly, and Eva finally caught a glimpse of what was causing that sound.
Ahead, the river plummeted over a sharp drop, a wall of stone blocking their path behind it.
"Sebastian," Eva warned.
If he didn't slow down, they were going to crash.
The spray from the waterfall dampened her clothes, its touch icy cold as they approached the drop.
Suddenly, Eva had a feeling she knew what Sebastian was going to do. She grabbed the oh shit handle and hung on for dear life.
Sebastian folded his wings. They dropped, missing the rocks jutting from the lip of the waterfall by inches.
The sight below was terrifying. The ground lost in a misty haze that veiled everything.
There was nowhere to go. Cliffs to their fore and the waterfall and more rock to their rear.
They were truly trapped and with the mist coming off the waterfall there was no way to know what awaited them below.
"Sebastian!" There was panic in Eva's voice this time.
