"Not if I have anything to do with it."
Zhao ran as fast as his legs could carry him and leaped at the last second, managing to grab onto the Prince's leg. The boy, who was in the clutches of the Gazanerrin beast's claws, screamed at the top of his lungs as fear took over.
"Don't worry. I'M GOING TO SAVE YOU!!" Zhao shouted, gripping tight onto the boy's legs. "ON THREE, I WANT YOU TO BEND YOUR KNEES, OKAY? ONE... TWO... THREE!!!"
The young Prince did as Zhao said, allowing the man to swing his body and latch onto the beast's neck. Once on top, Zhao pulled himself up to the beast's head and knocked its rider off.
"AAAHHH!!" With the rider gone, the beast let go of the boy, leaving him to drop, only for another Gazanerrin rider to capture him.
"Damn it, how do you... fly this thing?" Zhao cursed, struggling to keep the beast in one place.
