Vargus and Valeria were now surprised to discover that the reason for the peculiarity of the winged beast's flight was due to an unexpected passenger that was on top of its head.
The unexpected passenger was actually a small plump beast that was covered with thick fur, and upon closer inspection, they realized that this was a chipmunk.
The moment Vargus's eyes fell upon the tiny creature's round and fluffy body, his expression immediately softened. The sight of the chipmunk, with its innocent, adorable appearance, had already landed a hit in Vargus's heart.
Meanwhile, the moment the chipmunk caught sight of Vargus, its tiny eyes widened momentarily before it succumbed to overwhelming shock.
Despite its apparent ability to somewhat influence the winged beast it rode upon, the chipmunk was ill-prepared for the formidable presence of Vargus. The sheer intensity of his aura, emanating strength and authority, proved too much for the small creature.
