A semispherical magic barrier was erected, shielding all of the people and luggage on the bird's back.
The massive bird flapped its wings and continued to rise higher into the air. In the blink of an eye, the buildings down below had all been reduced to tiny spots. One was able to see the entirety of Chaos City from this vantage point.
"Wow! Flying is so fun!"
Amy, who was very excited, and not fearful in the slightest as she looked down, yelled, "Father, look! That's the Aden Square, and in that corner is our restaurant! It looks like a little box from up here!"
In contrast, Ugly Duckling was a lot less calm and collected. It had put its front paws over its eyes, and buried its head deep in Amy's arms as it trembled uncontrollably, leaving only its backside sticking up into the air.
