The mount seemed like the perfect solution for William, who was already contemplating approaching Ben's friend to see if he could borrow it. He didn't want to steal it outright, as that would negatively impact his friends who were staying on the island. William wasn't that kind of person.
As soon as Ben's friend landed the enormous bird on the beach, William went to speak with him.
Up close, the bird was even larger than William had imagined, making him feel dwarfed by the majestic creature. It was truly a powerful flying mount.
"You're William, right?" the man said with a friendly smile. "I need to speak with you in private. Is that alright?"
Lincoln and the other students were present to see the mount, and upon hearing the man's request, they returned to the camp.
Once William and the man were alone, he revealed, "I'm one of the summoned heroes, just like Ben. He told me about you."
