More Shade and Vyle goodness in that chapter, which I liked. ^^ Their scene together was really nice, I thought. For that matter, I also really liked the conversation between Shade and Mirlite that preceded the scene with Shade and Vyle. ^^

Another favorite part: the scene with the dragons. That was great. XD Loved the humor there. ^^

And Bogcrow are effing cool. I especially like their glowing red eyes.

Other highlights:

“What the hell happened?” Shade asked Mirlite.

“They said they would only obey one who has won their respect, and that they are no beasts of burden.”

“Great. I must have pissed them off,” Shade responded.

“Oh, and they also said to screw off… only in a less… nice way.” Mirlite added.
XD

“Ah, hell no!” Rad protested.

“C’mon, you coward. You’re not… scared are you?” Blaze replied.

“…Nu-uh!” Rad replied defensively. “The great Rad has no fears!”

“Uh-huh,” Shade replied, catching on to what Blaze was doing. “C’mon, now, none of us ladies are scared of going.”

“Fiiiine. I’m comin’! I ain’t afraid of no geeks in white!” Rad replied.”
XD Rad cracks me up.

There was a long pause, during which the only noise was Squeak chewing on the roof tiles.
Cute! ^^

The group looked behind them for a second to see Talon being restrained by his mother, then without warning, they took off. Seven streaks of black pierced through the dome of fog over Ter’ast, illuminated by the moonlight. The Bogcrow increased altitude at a 45 degree angle, targeting some higher black clouds which surrounded the fortress of Spiropolis. The view from atop their avian mounts was incredible; valleys and plains and mountains were bathed in silver moonlight which shone through a gap in the clouds. The sinister looking Techno City stood out in the background.

Soon, they pierced the high clouds overhead. It was as though they were gliding across a black, swirling ocean of clouds. The very tip of Spiropolis became visible though the canopy of clouds as the Bogcrow drew closer. The birds began to descend as they drew near their destination.
Cool visuals there. ^^
