Ride a thermal here as a bird of prey or hover in a craft.
Jamie: I skimmed the treetops, searching for my brother. Searching for any sign of him.
What I saw instead was what looked like a blue horse. Upon closer inspection, one would think, centaur! Then you'd see the stalk eyes, and that he has no mouth, and you'd instantly know he's not from around here. Then, when he saw the tail…well, the tail's just deadly.
But I knew this guy wasn't out to hurt anyone. It was Ax, my brother's shorm (which is Andalite for tailblade and means soul companion), and a fellow Animorph. I flew down to speak to him.
<Hey, Ax-Man,> I said in thought-speak. <It's Jamie.>
<Good afternoon, Jamie Cemmelon. Why are you not in school?>
<Too much talk of imploding seagulls. I just felt like it would be better to spread my wings and fly rather than attend the last period, which is math, by the way, so I hate it immensely.>
<At least I am able to assist you in your studies in that area, no matter how primitive your mathematical equations are.>
<It has helped a lot. Thanks, Ax-Man. Where's Tobias?>
<Tobias is out hunting.>
<Wanna fly with me?>
<I would be delighted.> He began to morph into the northern harrier. I waited and watched as his Andalite body became bird. Then the two of us spiraled up and caught another thermal. <Where are we going?>
<Dunno. Wanna go to the Hork-Bajir valley?>
<That would be fine.>
<Okay. But first, we should find Tobias. He could join us. If he wants to.>
<That would be enjoyable.>
<I bet Jake is gonna kill me. But ha, I don't care.>
<Prince Jake would never harm you.>
<I don't mean it literally, Ax-Man.>
<I do not understand.>
<You wouldn't. Hey, there he is!> I spotted a red-tailed hawk in the meadow. I landed on a branch near where he was hunting and watched him hunt with my strong hawk eyes.
