"Can we eat first?" I asked, the fact that we were leaving didn't even register as a big deal. Then it hit me. I'd never seen Zaak leave his property except for one reason. In the nine years I'd know him, he'd never even hinted at going anywhere else.
"No! Of course not!" he shouted as he swept some things into a box. "We have to leave as soon as possible!"
I ran upstairs and threw somethings in a bag. I noticed that all of my old things were exactly as I left them, and there was something that was nagging at the back of my mind. I froze. Zaak hadn't taken on a new apprentice after I left. A wizard like Zaak would have one after another...
"Ian! Hurry up!"
I ran to the front stairs and hopped the banister, gliding down to the first floor. "How are we traveling?" I asked. I knew I could fly, but I wasn't sure about Zaak.
"Flying, of course."
"Oh great." I thought. "I don't know if I can carry you." Is what I said.
"No, no, no. I'm not flying with you."
"Then how?"
A mischevious grin crawled along Zaak's face.
"Follow me."
He pushed a button on the wall that I had never seen before, and walked through one of the various locked doors in his house. We walked into a gargantuan hangar, but something seemed to be missing.
"Where's the plane?" I asked.
The grin came back.
Zaak put two fingers in his mouth and whistled. I could hear the tint of magic, and a shiver ran down my spine as the whistle pierced all the magic dimensions. The air in the top of the hangar began to shimmer like water, and then a huge mass dropped out of the rift. A pterodayctal rigged with a saddle rose up and stretched its wings.
The look on my face must have given it away.
"Do you like it?" Asked Zaak with the biggest grin Iv'e ever seen. "I summoned him from the under world and put him in Dimensional Space 3."
"What are the first two?" I asked.
"Storage and a fridge."
"So why does he get a dimensional space to himself?"
"Hehehe. He gets cranky when he's hungry."
I looked up worriedly at the huge beast.
"Don't worry, he's eaten."
The thought had crossed my mind, but what I was actually worried about was having to fly near the thing.
"Well, we'd best be off."
As Zaak climbed onto the creature's back, I began to walk towards the mouth of the hangar. With a sudden whoosh our winged friend took off and roared just over my head, Zaak cackling with glee. I couldn't help but laugh as took off in a light run that brought me the the door of the hangar almost instantly. I lifted off, feeling free in air once more. As I got settled in above Zaak, I began to think.
"Why did we have to leave on such short notice?"
Zaak looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Ian, you are in BIG trouble."
