“I’ll be taking this.” Drakkon pushed aside his companions and leapt into the sleigh. His hands grasped the reins and whipped with all his might, commanding the animals to take him into the air.

Instead, they melted into a pile of sludge and bones.

“About that,” said Mayuri. “I’ve fed those reindeer a special diet as well. Their stomach acid is set to expand and envelop their entire body if anyone aside from me attempts to command them. A simple modification of the cerebral cortex made that possible.”

Drakkon grunted again. Infuriations upon infuriations stacked up against him. He had half a mind to suck down his pride and go to Nonon. When a thought struck him.

If the Princess Power kept him alive no matter what injury befell him… could it do the same to others?

He pointed his blade in the direction of the deceased animals. A rainbow beam shot out, all the kindness and good feelings involved with protective magic entered the pile of bones. And brought them to life.

In some sense of the word.

Mayuri's science proved a bit too effective. The minute their stomachs reformed, the animals melted once more, only to be brought back by Drakkon's princess magic.

To avoid the needless suffering of the animals, he lowered his magic output. Instead of regenerating them in their entirety, he placed their souls in their bones. Skeletons of reindeer sufficed as substitutes for the real thing.

“Onwards! My trusty noble steeds!”

He whipped the skeletons into shape. Their bones rattled creating a noise that somewhat constituted as a whinny. And they took off. Their magic filled their legs, allowing them to run on the air itself. Even while supporting the weight of a human and his cargo, they showed no signs of struggling.

Xemnas, Mayuri, and the annoying girl Nonon all became ants as he ascended high into the sky. Through sheer force of will, he commanded the skeletons to fly faster, and they did. With each passing moment, he drew closer to Lion-O, despite his method of travel.
