[IRP] The First of Many

He put his hand over his face. He knew this was a terrible idea. The crazy one seemed to wholeheartedly support the plan. Before he could utter a small prayer to St. Elimine, the pegasus rider grabbed his free hand and pulled him towards her pegasus. She began talking to her pegasus. Damn, Ilians are crazy. The lack of air that high up must have already messed with her brain. Shad thought to himself. Then again, I'm kinda putting my life into her hands...so doesn't that make me the crazy one?

He waited until she was ready before mounting the pegasus. It was a bit harder than a normal horse, because of the wings, but it was okay. The pegasus didn't seemed too thrilled by his presence. Wolfram told him that most pegasi were wary of men and some of their riders share those feelings. He was handed some weird looking thing. She called them goggles. They were like glasses, but conformed around the eyes and secured behind the head. Ilia is weird. He put them on, taking a second to adjust to them before she flew towards the meteor. Then it made sense. The winds at that speed hit his face rather hard and probably makes it hard to see. Ilians might be weird, but at least this thing is functional.

He barely heard her, but it sounded like she said her name was Kalin. At least he has something else to call her. "I'm Lord Shadrach Hyperion of Etruria. You can call me Shad," he yelled back. "And my plan is to bombard the side of that rock with as many fireballs as I can muster without passing out," He started. He was hesitant about this next part. "Since you can obviously use some kind of magic, you can use my sword's wind magic to help try to redirect the spell away from town."

"We don't have that long of a window. If this takes too long, the only way we could possibly moving it is to ram something into it. Unfortunately, that something is a pegasus with two passengers."
