| “Dan is right. It is an outrageous idea. I may be just a buzzard. Natures undertaker. We’re not much respected, admired or even appreciated for doing a job that has to be done. But all the same when I think of how I risked my life to bring you together with your parents. Several times I might add. For you to sit there and suggest all that be thrown to the side of the road in trade for the chance to reach our worst enemy. To offer her not only amnesty for all the evil she has done, but actually reward her with youth. Outrageous is the correct description.” Buzzy finished by crossing his wings so his body language echoed his words. Then he gave a very audible sigh, and said in a very discouraged tone, “So when do we leave?” “I’m no happier about this than any of the rest of you.” Ozzy said. “But if the princess is going… Then I will be there as well. But under protest!” “Thank you guys! I know it is a big risk.” Anna said. “A big risk is flying underneath Buzzy after he’s eaten Mexican food. This is flat out begging fate to kick your butter until its cottage cheese.” Dan mumbled. “If we do this it has to be with some planning. However that said, we have limited window of time. They are attacking at first light.” Ozzy stated. “I suggest we use the old lady and donkey disguise for Anna and Splash again. In the castle there are buzzards and vultures as your kind tends to be found in all sorts of sorted places.” He gave Buzzy a look. “So we can use that to take Dan in as a captured prisoner and I will disguise as a buzzard using the shoe polish.” next page |  |
