Later, Palin woke up. He opened his eyes to find himself looking straight into the eyes of the Takuta Bird. Palin yelled and rolled away. Tera sat up immediately. "What's going o… ahhhhhhh!" The bird just looked at them.
"It's still under the spell", Palin said.
"Oh, right".
"Hey, just to make sure, can you re-enchant it?"
"Okay". She walked over to the bird and recited the spell. "Done."
"Anyway, I think we should use it to fly to Tobek Island."
"Do you know how to fly one?"
"What's to know? It's just like riding a horse, right?"
"Riiight."
Soon they were off and into the air. They flew for three days straight. The most interesting thing that happened was the time they saw a huge waterfall Tera knew as the Falls of Barak. They also passed a few gryphons along the way.
When they finally reached Tobek Island, Palin went to get his Katin Stick. He found it right in the middle of the barren wasteland, right where he passed out. He picked it up and tested it turning it into the Katin Axe. Satisfied, he stored it in the scabbard on his back. Unfortunately, he had to battle two shadow demons and a giant spider before he got back to where Tera was. But it was no problem. When he got back, Tera fixed his wounds, re-enchanted the Takuta Bird and got back into the air.
"We should give the Takuta Bird a name," said Tera.
"Okay. How about just Takuta?"
"Sure. Hear that Takuta. You have a name!"
"Squawk!" Takuta replied happily.
When they got back to the gate, they released the bird again and walked over to it. They were almost in when Takuta squawked and made them turn around. It was looking up at a Gryphon. The Gryphon surprisingly was on the roof with small chirping sounds behind it. "It has a nest here too" said Tera.
"We should go before it tries to kill us."
"Good idea."
Before they went into the only open portal, Palin noticed that according to the symbols, the portal was to Dragonak. "Tera, wai…." Palin started to say. But it was too late. Tera had already pushed him in and jumped in behind him.
