Thunderstorm

Ross shrugged. "A few more riding animals. Horses, and some weird birds."

"I know lots of weird birds already," said Mikaela, thinking of the Phoenixes and Ravens.

"Are there unicorns?" asked the Prince.

Ross shook his head. "The Dean dosn't trust them. The ones around here tend to be fairly hateful."

"That's what I always here about unicorns," said Mikaela. "They're pretty creatures but mean as hell."

Ross chuckled. "I've never met one in person. It would be neat though."

"No if it's attacking you," remarked Mikaela dryly. "What about those pegasus things?"

Ross shrugged. "There's one but it is a bit grumpy with some people."

"What kind of people?" Mikaela asked.

Ross chuckled. "Well it dosn't like me or my roommate. It tried to eat professor Ark and it dosn't mind Celio..much."

"It tries to eat people?" asked the Prince. "I've never heard of a meat-eating horse."

Ross chckled. "Professor Ark is a plant. So it's not really as bad as it sounds."

"Oh yeah," Mikaela laughed. "I knew that, but I forgot his name."

Ross nodded and smiled. "You just have to be wary around them."

"Alright," Mikaela replied. "No aggravating the horse, got it?"

"I know that!" the Prince snapped back.

Ross nodded and led the way out. Not having to walk very far before reaching where they needed to go.

"Where's the gecko?" asked the Prince excitedly, flitting around in the air looking for it.

Ross chuckled. "It's in one of the stalls. It's too big to just wander around."

"Can't have it eating naught little kids, even if they deserve it," Mikaela replied with a smirk.

Ross chuckled, walking up to the stall that held the creature. The reptile curled up and asleep. Looking fairly peaceful.

The Prince studied it in fascination, though he seemed disappointed that it was asleep. Mikaela also looked on with interest.

Ross yawed and leaned on the door to the pen. "Watch out. Don't wake the thing up or get in tounge's range."

"Then why are you opening the pen?" asked Mikaela.

Ross chuckled. "I'm just leaning on it."

"Are you sure?" asked Mikaela, pointing to the slowly-opening gate.

Ross gaped and snapped it shut again. Waking the greko that let out an annoyed hiss.
