Chapter 23: Patrol
"I couldn't have gotten a piggyback ride from Cinder," Snowdawn murmured with a heavy frown.
The strong wind hit them in the face as they jumped from roof to roof. If not for her helmet, she knew her hair would have been more of a wild mess than it usually was.
Jumping was easy for her. Her body was literally made for it, and even the large distances weren't an issue. She had to stop and wait several seconds for Myth to catch up. The hero was in his bull form and was strong enough to leap vast distances like her, though several times only just barely making it, gripping onto the edges of the rooftops. Snowdawn rode on his back, gripping the horns of the beast since he wasn't so lucky in the power department.
"If you practiced with your powers more and could create ice easier, you wouldn't be in this situation." Myth advised. "Ocean Empress has a method for this kind of travel and creates ice ramps and slides."
"Yeah, well, I don't exactly think a layer of snow is very safe. Maybe when I can do ice, I'll try it, but I'm going to have to pass on walking on a slide made out of fluff." Snowdawn said, rolling his eyes.
"Don't be such a big baby." She giggled. "I'd kill to switch places with you. Myth is like a big giant horse." Myth's eyes narrowed. "Uh, sorry."
"Cinder has a point, actually," Snowdawn said, perking up. "Could you turn into a horse?"
Myth shook his head. "How did I get stuck with the two of you?"
They came to a stop at a nearby warehouse, finally reaching Spider Street. The sun had already set by this point, leaving only the moonlight. That said, hiding in the shadows in a bright blue outfit was kind of hard, so she did her best to stay quiet so none of the men down below would have any reason to look up.
A few cars drove down the road, and dozens of people went through their storage locker. She wasn't sure who was a gang member and who was just an innocent person that ended up in the bad part of town.
It was just the three of them. Since she and Snowdawn were so new, Myth decided to personally travel with them while on this patrol. They had basically set out the moment the leader of Pantheon had announced the patrol, going from roof to roof heading to the shady part of town. She and Mr. Larison had earlier seen the Wandering Coin gang hanging out around the area, so they figured it would be easy to find something to do.
