Since all these creatures communicated telepathically and shared information instantly, it no doubt knew exactly where she was, making the task simple. Come on. This was my last chance to reach her before it was too late. I couldn't afford to let this opportunity slip through my fingers. Holding my breath, I watched intently, hoping the creature would obey my command. After a tense few seconds, its large wings began to flap vigorously, producing a deafening whooshing sound, and suddenly, we were lifted into the sky. I clenched the rough, weathered rope tightly with both hands, feeling the coarse fibers dig into my palms as I looked down. The ground rapidly disappeared beneath us, and we asce

She closed her eyes once more. This time she didn’t overthink it. She focused on Zee’s giggles. On Raf’s steady presence beside her. On the warmth filling her chest. Her wings moved smoothly. Gracefully. And suddenly— Her feet left the ground. Not inches. Not barely. But fully. Gasps filled the hall as Saraya rose slowly into the air. “I’m flying!” she exclaimed, eyes still closed. “Open your eyes, Mum!” Zee squealed. She did. And nearly shrieked when she realized she was several feet above the floor.

That will never happen… I will never let that happen! Heat lit up the night as I breathed fire for the first time in over two years. The length of my flame would swallow anything within two and a half miles of me. My wings carried me higher and higher. I dove and flipped as my serpent like body carved a way through the clouds. I chased the sun while it rose above the mountain tops which will never be too high for me to reach ever again.

“You won’t fall either way.” Before she could argue, his enormous wings unfolded with a deafening rustle, the sheer size of them blotting out the stars. The air around her stilled unnaturally, and then the world tilted as he surged upward with a lurch that stole her breath. Caelia clung tightly, her fingers gripping the ridge of his neck as the ground fell away beneath them. The forest turned into a blur, the wind a faint whisper against the magical barrier protecting her. The moonlit night stretched out around them, vast and infinite, as they soared higher and higher into the sky.

“Hey, where are you stumbling off to?” “Jack is taking us out for lunch, so I am off to get some shoes” I told him as I slowly carried on walking. I looked up the stairs and swallowed the lump in my throat. I needed to stop been a wimp and do this. I lifted my left leg and placed it on the first step. “See easy” I told myself as I lifted my right leg and put it on the next step “just keep going till you reach the top, slow and steady wins the race” I kept telling myself as I slowly made my way up the stairs. I finally made it to the top and looked down to see Jack. “I made it” I smiled down at him.

Aya taunts. “Actually, I found it rather amusing,” Azadou chirps. The change in this man is insane! With one more look back at Xiema, I spread my wings, and with a single, powerful flap, I take off into the air. I rocket past the treetops and into the sky within seconds, breaking through the clouds. I let out a squawk of exhilaration as I leisurely glide over the sea of white beneath me, angling from side to side, letting my wings cut through the clouds. I breathe the fresh, cold air deep into my lungs as the wind breezes through my feathers, greeting me like an old friend.

* This time, Ravyn's body flew parallel to the top of the building, and as the momentum weakened, she grabbed the closest corner of the window and tried to use her toes to help cling to the other groove of the building. ...Nice! Jae kept telling me to fly, so I forgot to think about it. The goal is just for us to get to the top of the building with Airtech. Thanks to Yu's hint that I'm still a caterpillar that can't fly, at least I could climb. Now I'm about 20 meters high. With just about 2 more leaps, it should be able to reach the top. I can do this for sure... Hope began to grow in Ravyn. At nearly 30 meters, Ravyn reached for the edge of the building, but couldn't hold on to it.

They had to raise their voices for them to be heard above the sound of the wind. "It's incredible!" Azalia answered with an excited cheer. "I feel so powerful!" They were untouchable right now. Nothing could reach them. They were above everything else and riding the most powerful creature Azalia had ever seen. It was a rush of power like Azalia had never felt before.

"There's no telling who's going to die yet!" And with those words, she leapt into the skies. Suddenly, with a deafening bang, ravines tore through the ground over miles around, and the ground seemed to sink! Lofty was dumbstruck—that was just the recoil generated from when the hag leapt into the air. In other words, her strength was now unmatched! Worst of all, as she tore through the air, a conical cloud appeared around her, showing that she had broken the sound barrier! Despite being knowledgeable, Lofty understood that there were individuals who refined a single discipline so obsessively that they reached such abnormal heights.

There's that song he'd always sing for me when he took me the swings. "Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Valentine". He's singing it again this time and I'm still giggling on the swing, the wind lifting strands of my long hair everywhere all around me. "Higher". I call out. He does just that, pushing me so much higher that I squeal in pure delight. Oh I love going high. It makes me feel like I could join the birds flying up there, high in the sky. "Higher!!!!". I squeal again and indeed, high we go. But this time, it's just a bit too much for me as I feel myself bounce back in the seat uncomfortably as I descend.
