Transmigrated as a Ghost

Nodding her head, Mrazivý did as James asked and sent a mental message through their link to her beast companion.

A few minutes later Eirwen the polar owl appeared in the horizon flying towards Mrazivý.

"You called Mrazivý." Eirwen said as he landed on the ground.

However, before Mrazivý could respond Fallon said, "Oh an epic grade polar owl, and an intelligent beast. To think that the princess would have obtained such a powerful partner."

Certainly very curious about Eirwen who had just arrived, Fallon got closer to him and began inspecting him.

Naturally she did not have very many opportunities to interact with other beasts at the same grade as her and with intelligence to boot.

In fact most other beasts cowered in fear of her, and while Mrazivý's beast companion showed some apprehension he did not coward like most.

"Can I help you?" Eirwen said, wondering why this strange beast was inspecting him.

"Ah I am sorry. It is not often I get to meet another epic grade beast an especially one that is also intelligent. Please excuse me."

Backing off Fallon who was just a bit bigger than Eirwen who was around twelve feet tall, gave him some room and allowed him to talk to Mrazivý.

"Thanks for coming Eirwen. Actually, my brother wanted to see meet you, and the minokawa over there is his beast companion." Mrazivý said brining Eirwen up to speed on the situation.

"I see. Well, it is a pleasure to meet you Mrazivý's brother, and his beast companion. I am Eirwen and as thanks for Mrazivý saving my home, I am accompanying her and lending my strength." Eirwen said bowing his head.

"I have to say I am impressed. As a man that prides himself on his knowledge of winged beast, I can tell you are at the peak of your possible strength. I have changed my mind, Mrazivý you must join me. Along with your beast you would easily be able to be one of my top officers and could soon rise to the position of my second lieutenant" James said looking at Mrazivý and Eirwen as if they were treasures he absolutely had to have.

Of course, how could James pass up this opportunity. It was rare for him to find someone this strong along with a flying beast companion, and it was his sister none the less.

Getting her to join his ranks would give him another officer he could trust completely and someone that maybe could even bring the unit to greater heights.

However, Mrazivý shook her head and said, "Sorry James, but I do not plan to join the army in any capacity. I am an adventurer, and do not want to be tied down by following orders if I do not have to. Still if Marcus does get put under you, I may lend my aid, during that time."

Groaning James looked really torn to hear Mrazivý's answer, but he could not force his little sister to join him.

"Fine, but this just makes me want to have Marcus on my side even more now." James said, eyeing Marcus greedily.

Shivering Marcus now understood that the second prince was a peculiar person that was obsessed with his sky knights.

'I do not know if he just likes flying, or maybe it Is the idea of a unit of flying knights. Whatever it is he is way too into it.' Marcus thought seeing the near manic passion James had.

"Ah" James said as he smacked his fist into his palm as he came up with a good idea.

"How about I show you how amazing it is to fight in the sky along with your beast companion. I am sure that once you get a taste for it, you will want to join me." James said thinking that he might still be able to convince Marcus and Mrazivý.

Still even though neither of them thought that they would join the sky knights, both of them still recognized that James was a powerful warrior and that this was a rare chance to test their capabilities against him.

'Are you up for it Mrazivý. I know he is a lot stronger than us, but I think if we work together, we can at least put up a good fight.'

'Yeah, I think we should go for it. We may never get an opportunity like this again, and we have both gotten a bit stronger and this a good chance to practice our teamwork.'

Having a quick telepathic conversation both Marcus and Mrazivý agreed that having a sparring match with James would be a good experience and the perfect time to test out their new power.

"Got it we are in. So, what are the rules." Mrazivý said, a fire in her eyes.

Smirking James said, "The rules are simply. You two can come at me as hard as you want and try to knock me and Fallon out of the sky. And I will respond in kind, though I will make sure not to hurt either of you too bad."

Nodding their heads both Marcus and Mrazivý were fine with the rules, since it would be similar to regular combat other than that they were trying not to seriously hurt their opponent.

Jumping onto Fallon's back James waited for Mrazivý and Marcus to mount Eirwen but when he noticed Marcus not making any moves to get onto Mrazivý's bast companion he was a bit confused.

"Marcus should you not get onto Eirwen. If you are planning to take the form of a caladrius like my great grandmother said, I would not recommend it. We will be fighting out in the open and someone will certainly see you." James said with a concerned tone.

A caladrius appearing in the middle of the royal castle would alert a lot of people, especially since no one in the kingdom has one as a companion. Not to mention they are the size of a medium sized passenger plane.

"No, it is fine I have my own set of wings."

Marcus then cast his tier five iron magic spell and sprout six wings on his back, flapping them around to show them off to James.

"Well, I suppose that will work as well, though I wish I could fight you while you were flying on a beast companion." James said a bit disappointed.

'He must really like the aesthetic of fighting in the sky while riding a beast companion.' Marcus thought coming to understand James' personality more and more.

"To the air Fallon." James shout as Fallon ran out of the barracks into the open before lifting off into the sky.

Following behind Mrazivý riding on top Eirwen, and Marcus using his iron wings, shot up after James until they had risen high into the air well above even the castle to prevent any sort of collateral damaged.

"It feels nice up here, right? The wind in your face, unbound by the limitations of the ground, and to fight side by side with a partner that you completely trust." James said as they hovered in the air.

"Now get ready because here I come."

"Volution Barrage!"
