"Athena, can you shrink down? You're too big," said Richard.
It wasn't that he disliked her massive form, but he preferred being able to sit atop a horse of normal size.
Athena nodded, and her body began to shrink until she reached a normal size. Her aura also became less oppressive, making her seem as if she were only around Tier 12 or 13.
Of course, her wings remained. They couldn't disappear anymore — they had become a part of her true form.
Even at Tier 11, she was supposed to have those wings.
Whoosh!
Richard led the horse out of the Dragon Hall, which naturally brought them back into his room.
It was spacious enough to fit several horses, so there was no problem. Even the window was large enough for a horse to leap through.
"Let's go!" Richard mounted Athena's back and urged her to leap toward the window and fly.
Whoosh!
The horse jumped, folding her wings before spreading them wide the moment she exited the room.
