Evan screamed at the dragon as it rose into the air, but the vast creature did not notice him as it sped away into the twilight. Summoning all of his strength, the golden eagle pumped his wings and flew as hard as he could, tracking the beast through the shadowed sky with keen eyes. But he was already weary, and the dragon's lead grew steadily.
"Dante! Khanada!" Michael shouted, dropping the horses' leads and running a few paces into the woods. Nearby stood the older Jellicle, trembling with fear and staring at him.
::Gabriel,:: the boy cried, trying to keep his own knees from knocking. ::By the Creator, Gabe, a dragon! It took them! I...wait, I have the horses!:: He turned on his heel and dashed back to the patiently standing steeds, seizing the ropes. Without hesitation he pulled the knots that secured the supplies to the horses' backs, and everything tumbled to the leaves. He swung up onto the back of the mare and guided it up beside Nashota.
"Come on," he said urgently, and his yellow eyes blazed. He offered a hand and pulled her up to sit behind him. Taking the stallion's lead in one hand, Michael clung to the mare's mane and set it to a canter.
::Gabriel, I approach with the horses!:: he called ahead. ::Evan follows the dragon---we can ride after them!::
