Circe had barely any time to actually witness half of the chaos that occurred after the carriage's horses suddenly bolted, not just once, but twice, throwing both she and Duke into the carriage benches, which she gripped tightly while they moved, an arm wrapped around the small doge. The smell of something fowl made the brunette scrunch her nose in disgust, and made her peer out of the carriage for the source-- a mother-flipping dragon. Circe watched in both awe and horror as the beast clawed its way out of the ground itself, and began after them. Not even the red-hot wall of flames sent up by own of the partys' mages seemed to deter it from barreling again in their direction. Almost immediately, a new sort of fright seemed to seep into her skin, and adrenaline, which she was already full of, making the girl nearly shake from both fear, and excitement. 

[color=00aeef]"We can't fight something like that.." [/color]she murmured, but seemed to grin despite her own fear. Turning to the right side of the carriage now, Circe eyed the tree line and, with a quick intake of breath, whistled sharply and loudly, the sound mimicking a birds call, long and musical. It took a good second for the reply to come, but eventually it did, from a small flock of starling who suddenly appeared from the treetops. Their swarm moved like a dark blanket though the sky, all chirping loudly back to Circe. The girl whistled something again, and suddenly the birds scattered ahead, clumping together again like a wave of dark specs and moving ahead of the carriage. 

[color=00aeef]"Hey, whoever's driving up there, follow those birds!"[/color] Circe suddenly jumped closer to the front of the carriage, shouting to the one at the lead. [color=00aeef]"They said there were canyons ahead! I think we can maybe lose this guy if we pass through them."[/color] she said, throwing a thumb back to the skeletal beast. Surely, something that large wouldn't be able to keep up well with a carriage when it was darting through rocks, especially if they could find a passage narrow enough to stop it completely. They could maybe catch their breathe then.
