After some debate we chose to go just the two of us down there, that way we could fly our way with ease and not compromise the ship and the entire crew with it, plus I meant what I said, if anything were to happen to me we must guarantee that someone would still be out there to make things right, and right now separating the group in dangerous situations like this makes sense.
Plus with my griffin body and only Ethan on my back we could smoothly glide down and more easily get a hold of our surroundings without drawing attention to ourselves, even more with my white fur against the cold landscape.
I may not have focused on increasing my Stealth skills since I had already made up my mind to train my defensive skills but I am still taken back when we are spotted only a few moments later, especially since I thought my fur would at least give me some cover against the cloudy cold skies, and like any owl I have a very silent beat of wings.
