He had scant time to reflect or take action on the prophecy. If I understand you right, If I understand you right, he wants to keep it a secret to prevent the demons from finding out and to avoid putting the Citadel on high alert. If we're fast enough, he might not have even dealt with the 'Grub Hag' yet,” you said, all four fingers curled into your palm.
Blinking, Miranna grasped her chin and then nodded. “That’s clever of you!”
“Is it? That’s just seems like common sense,” you said. "So, are we going with this plan, then?"
She frowned and leaned closer, the red depth of her eyes swallowing her irises, “Didn’t I say, hero, that I’ll do what you want?”
You tucked your arms beneath your armpits. “Yes. I do want to hear your thoughts—feedback, not complains.”
She grinned, her feet landing on the ground as she grabbed your wrists with her claws. “We shouldn’t waste time!”
Pulling you closer, Miranna forced the breath out of your lungs as she held your sides. With a bone-like rattling of her feathers, the Demon General shifted her weight; her wings spread out like an opening cocoon, each tendon snapping into place, blocking the moonlight and doubling her silhouette. Miranna bent her knees, her hands sliding beneath your shoulders and hips. Effortlessly, she lifted you off the ground.
Whiskers’ eyes shrank and he dug his claws into your tunic, another row of nails prickling your skin.
“It’ll take us a few hours to reach,” she noted, “if we’ll fly above the clouds, like I usually do.”
You glanced at Count Whiskers, who, even at this short height, seemed ill at ease and hissing in fear.
> Trust Miranna to carry you through the sky towards the Demon King’s domain. Hold Count Whiskers close to your chest in a tight grip, gently caressing him to calm him and prevent him from seeing the ground. > To avoid the risk of dropping Count Whiskers, ask Miranna to keep you as close to the ground as possible while travelling. It’s best she doesn’t fly above the clouds. > Before taking off, consider how to soothe Whiskers. Perhaps there's some catnip growing in this forest? If not, you could try to fashion a small carrier for him using roots and branches, though you’re unsure if it would hold.> It’s too dangerous to bring him along; maybe it was a mistake to take him with you. But what choice did you have? Where can you leave him until you return? Here in the forest? In the nearest village, with a peasant family?>[Write In]
