Or so he felt that way. He rubbed his hands together quickly to warm himself up. It helped a little but it wasn't going to keep him warm for long. He was about to turn around to start when all of a sudden the horse had other ideas. He glanced over to see how Zander was doing and saw that he wasn't paying attention.

Wait! Wait. Where were they going and was that a gigantic block of ice they were headed straight for!? ERMEGAHD! ZANDER WASN'T STEERING ANYMORE- THEY WERE GOING TO DIE! Simon felt as if he was going to fall out of the carriage so he grabbed on the carriage even tighter before. Nope, he was not going to die. Today was not the day! He had so much living to do after all.

Silently panicking, Simon almost went to grab for the reigns but Zander had already got them and had fixed the Abraxon's direction. Phew! That had been close. When his partner apologized, Simon played it off cooly and decided not to let his partner know that he had been internally panicking. Nope. He was all good. They were both good. "No worries, mate. It happens! We'll just catch up to them!" he said meaning every word.

Then the flying objects started to come back at them. Simon narrowed his eyes. Greaaat. Then he started using defensive spells as well as "Reducto!" and "Incendio!.


PHEW. That was a close one. Luckily Zander had snapped out of his inner thoughts before it was too late. They could've hit a giant block of ice. OR WORSE another carriage! But thankfully he got ahold of the reins again and all was well.... for now. So no need to panic... This time around Zander had to be SUPER careful. He didn't want Simon thinking that he was a totally dunderhead.

So yes, so much care. Full of care. Zander 'Care' Adair. Yeah. He looked extra hard at the path set in front of him. ICE BLOCK STRAIGHT AHEAD? No problem. This time he even started yanking WAY before they reached the obstacle, so that the turn was a lot smoother. Yeah, Zander was totally coordinated with all these things. The turn was so nice and gradual that it almost felt as if they were gliding on the ice. Ah. This is the life.

NOOO MORE OBJECTS! Zander looked back at Simon (but only for a second) and gave him a small nod. He knew what to do. Now, EYES ON THE PRIZE, Zander. AHHH GIANT SNOWMAN! At least Zander was actually steering this time. Heh. Phew. Driving a carriage with a giant winged horse that's super fast and powerful, while being pelted with a bunch of flying objects and dodging big ice mounds, isn't too bad. Actually it was kind of like therapy.
