After Hans and his team all climbed up, the Storm Dragon Eagle finally flapped its wings and soared instantly into the high sky.
The sudden ascent caught Hans and his team off guard, causing them to stumble and nearly fall off, barely managing to steady themselves.
Duke had been keeping an eye on them and naturally wouldn't let them really fall, but Hans and his team were indeed startled.

The speed of the Storm Dragon Eagle was extremely fast, its massive wings tearing through the clouds, and the snowy plains below quickly fading into the distance.
Hans and his team held tightly to the feathers on the eagle's back, experiencing initial tension that gradually gave way to excitement, as this was an entirely new experience for them.
