Wings of Fire The Awaking of Albatross

The Mission at Sky(Chapter 6)

Hawk and Cacti are flying north and they are flying while making a decision...and this is where it begins.

"We should go to the area between the sky kingdom and mud kingdom," Hawk said. "I thought we were heading to the Sky Kingdom." Cacti said sounding surprised. "Well, I thought we could head over there instead," Hawk said uncomfortably. "Listen if you don't want to tell me why you don't have to." Cacti told him. "No, It's fine" Hawk sighed. "You see I am Ex-Queen Scarlet's youngest son." "I was hatched like 1 year  before she died and for that 1 year someone else took care of me." "So I didn't know her. But The Skywings are not trusting me that much so I think it would be best that we avoid the Sky Palace, I am not banned or anything just not really trusted, but I hope that after this I will be."Hawk finished."It's fine Hawk, I think that area would be a good idea. Because the spot on the map is around there."Cacti assured him.

Later, Hawk spots a mountain in the distance. "I see it, I see it!" He says excitedly. "I ...don't." Cacti puzzles."No offense but Skywings have better vision than sandwings." Hawk tells him."But sandwings have a poisonous tail." Hawk says kindly to Cacti. Cacti nodded curtly. They approach the mountain and try to fly up but an invisible barrier seems to stop them."I guess it makes sense anyway." Cacti sighs. Hawk looks at him seeming puzzled."There was a bit of writing on the map it said, The highest mountain in the sky, has a barrier so you cannot fly, upon it is your prize, reach for it and don't die." He recited."Plus it makes sense, otherwise it would be easy anyway.".Hawk stamped his feet in annoyance, not at Cacti, but at the flying rule."Well we better get climbing I suppose." Cacti tells him. "Stamping around won't get us to that object." "I know, dragons are suffering, and I miss the rest of the winglet, especially Oce-" Hawk trails off. Cacti hid a snort.

So the duo started their climb up the mountain. And in about an hour, they had climbed to the top."That...was...tiring..." Cacti puffed. Hawk nodded while breathing harshly from all the climbing."Look the object!" Hawk suddenly jumped. They raced towards it and stared. It looked like a flat circle with a hole on the bottom but was covered in emeralds and rubies and sapphires. Cacti stepped forward to take it but just then Hawk started to tip over the steepest side of the mountain, for a small rumble happened. Hawk was falling, his wings useless.
