As the Resting Wind was about to blow, Ange rode Lightning up to the Holy Kingdom.
In Lightning's mouth was a stick, with an Air Bubble Stone at the end. The stone is encased, and whenever Lightning bit down on the end of the stick, the case would flip open, activating the Air Bubble Stone.
It had never had a chance to play with this before, so out of curiosity, it bit down a few times, watching the bubble flicker around its body before Ange slapped it on its head.
Lightning obediently closed its mouth. It never dared to talk back to Ange. For one, Ange wouldn't understand it, and two, if he did, he would definitely beat it. It knew very well who it could and couldn't offend.
The reason Ange chose to ride Lightning instead of White Neck was because of Lightning's ability to hover in the air for extended periods.
Arriving early at the barrier surrounding the Holy Kingdom, the Resting Wind had yet to blow. Lightning was bored, stamping at empty air and looking around aimlessly.
