Chapter 399: Flight

READER SHOUT-OUT: This chapter is dedicated to Janell_Apple for proposing the name "Knox" in the July Reader Privilege group. I had to change his spelling to fit the Anima mold, but your ideas inspired me. Thank you! I hope you like him!

The flight would take hours. If they were to simply put the birds in the air and fly straight to the Tree City, the journey would be less than an hour. But between the altitudes they had to climb, the slower pace because of drag from the wolves in the hammocks, and the out-of-the-way-route they used in an attempt to stop any Anima catching sight of the birds in flight, it would be three or four hours before they would land.
