The Guard brought Sir Eric to the castle very quickly. But Sir Eric managed to escape.
"Get him!" the Wicked Witch ordered.
Sir Eric hopped on a flying horse and flew away, on his way to find his friends.
Meanwhile, the trio had made it to a deep gorge, and it was very wide.
"Oh, how are we going to get across this gorge?" Bobby asked.
Just then, some flying horses came flying by.
"Maybe these horses can give us a ride," Sofia suggested.
Sofia and Bobby each got on a flying horse. But Vincent remembered that he was injured in a flying derby accident, and he was still afraid of getting on a flying horse.
"Vincent, aren't you coming?" Sofia asked.
"I don't know," Vincent frowned. "I'm still a little spooked by what happened the last time I was on a flying horse."
"But this is the only way to get across the gorge, and we need to save your brother," Sofia urged.
Vincent thought about it. He wanted to save his brother, and facing his fear was worth it.
"Okay, I'll do it," Vincent nodded. Then he started to sing.
I rode through rain and snow
Strange lands I did not know
Through midnight woods and hills
I've had my share of spills
But now Eric is captured away
Now I've gotta save the day
I know that I should ride
I'll remain strong inside
Vincent hopped on a flying horse and continued his song as he, Sofia, and Bobby flew over the gorge.
On these wings of a dream
I will face my fear
On these wings of a dream
For my brother dear
On these wings of a dream
Through any weather
We'll soon be together
I used to be afraid
But now I won't be swayed
There is no storm too strong
To stop this rescue song
Oh, up ahead what's that
On a flying horse that's black?
Who is that rider I see?
Who could it be?
Vincent flew up to the rider on the black flying horse, and he was surprised to see that it was...
"Eric!" Vincent gasped.
"Vincent?" Sir Eric gaped. "I can't believe you're up on a flying horse."
"What happened?" Bobby asked.
"I got away," Sir Eric smirked. "What do you say we go back and get that broomstick?"
"Let's go!" Sofia instructed.
As the group flew to the Wicked Witch's castle, Vincent and Sir Eric continued singing.
On these wings of a dream
At last I'm here
On these wings of a dream
With my brother dear
On these wings of a dream
We'll be together
Brothers forever
On these wings of a dream
On these wings of a dream
On these wings of a dream
The group finally landed at the end of the gorge.
"That was fun," Vincent smiled.
"It looks like you've gotten over your fear all on your own," Sir Eric smiled.
"And since you escaped the Wicked Witch, it looks like you've already the strength you need," Vincent smiled.
"But we should still go with Sofia and Bobby to get that broomstick," Sir Eric suggested.
