They were lucky not to have met any wild beast by now. All the other smaller beasts, didn't dare attack because of the mystical beast, but needless to say... The farther they went, the more other they ventured into the zone of stronger beasts.
"Hmm these are dangerous zones. I never would have thought, I'd venture here."
The White Tiger–Pheonix beast was one of the five mystical beasts, other beasts in the food chain dared not challenge it one on one. Some of them were not too afraid of the white tiger-pheonix beast, but those were the ones that sometimes moved or fought in pack.
So given the opportunity, they would attack. At the same moment Jareth thought they were lucky, a deep howl was heard.
Instantly everyone's eyes shot open. Jareth got up quickly, as did Astrid. White-fire quickly warned Astrid. "Get everyone to climb on, we must hurry."
"What beast is that?" Astrid asked.
