The Perfect Mount

Bluish-gray feathers were falling slowly through the air, gaining weight after soaking in the rain. They soon plummeted to the ground in perfectly straight lines.

The feathers were no longer clean and shiny. They were as dirty as the feathers of wild ducks after falling into a swamp. 

The Eagle Horses were a species of tamed beasts that could cover their whole bodies in feathers whenever they were under attack.

The area between their head and chest were covered in gray-blue feathers, similar to eagles. Their wings did not grow out of their backs like griffins, but on their four ankles instead! 

They looked like horses stepping on four eagles while sprinting across the sky at a first glance!

"I wonder how they manage to keep their balance when they are flying with wings on their legs," Zhao Manyan grumbled while climbing up onto an Eagle Horse.
