The next day I woke up with so many mixed feelings in my head. I was excited and nervous about passing the border. On the other hand, I was disgusted at myself because of what I said to Aella yesterday. The sun was shining through the window onto my face. I made an effort to dress up nice. I wasn't feeling the best. Then suddenly, my door knocked. I ran up to it and swung the door open thinking it was Aella. But it wasn't. It was Alvie standing in front of the door. She had a checklist and a pen with her. She greeted me with a content smile. Not noticing my sad face, we got ready and went to where she was going to take me.
"Since no normal plane can cross the border, I and some of our best engineers in Armani wanted to make a new one.." Alvie turned around and walked to this big warehouse to show the special plane made.
It was white and many Armanians were moving it as close as they could go to a good space so I could drive it. Alvie was standing there, her hair was tied up in a ponytail. She had a checklist in her hands marking if things were good and ready on the plane. The Armanians noticed me and showed me around with the plane. Aella followed along and was fascinated by everything she was seeing.
"So, you went to something called, "flight school"? Alvie asked eagerly. I nodded my head in agreement and she asked hundreds of questions. I noticed Aliastar and he was sitting down on a bench with other boys his age. I walked over to him and gave a soft punch to him as if we were siblings. He turned around and waved at me. "So this is the guy who is going to save the queen?" One of the boys said. He had dirty blonde hair like my mother did, which reminded me of her.. I began to miss her and worry again because I was worried about the mission I was going to pass. "Yes, it's him. He got a lot of training, and to be honest, he was actually really tough and got back up no matter how many times I pinned him down." Aliastar honestly replied. I saw Aella talking with Alvie. I glanced at her but quickly looked away as I was too nervous to talk to her. Alvie was wearing a dark green jumpsuit. She was sitting on air as her wings supported her. "You excited for your mission or whatever ya call it?" I slowly nodded my head and Alvie looked so excited. I wouldn't be too confident that I would bring the queen home.. I might die while trying. I have never experienced anything like this. Alvie gestured her hand to follow her so I went inside the plane to see what was inside of it.
"So over here is the starter, I'm assuming you know the rest , and the steering wheel goes with a seat that is quite comfortable so you don't get uncomfortable while driving this plane, food will be installed and there will be many things to make you comfortable and also prepared armor once you reach the border. You will have to wear this oxygen mask since the air is so thin. If you decide to go out of the plane an extension tube will be attached to the oxygen tank. In case you get tired, there is autopilot and it is already set to the location. Press this green button to stop it and the red button to activate it..." Alvie stopped for a moment so that my weary brain would keep up with what she was saying. I noticed Aella was sitting with Alastair and talked to him. I could see she was trying to hide her saddened face. Alvie continued on and after the plane was ready, I was prepared to ride it.
Everyone was watching. Villagers, citizens, Alvie now holding a binder with an uncountable amount of pages and Aliastar with his buddies screaming for goodluck. Even King Elias was there. He had a look of pride in his eyes. Like I was some sort of hero. But I was not. I was the person who broke the princess' heart. Engineers were scrambling around the plane making sure it was ready. Alastair interrupted the moment by saying, "Kace what're you going to name the plane?" I thought it over. What could I name my plane? It has to be special.. Then it hit me. Sawyer. My dad's name.."The name of the plane is Sawyer." I replied to Alastair. Alastair looked confused why I would name my plane 'Sawyer'. It seemed pretty straight forward but it meant a lot to name my plane after my dad. Alastair took his sword out and gave it to me. It had a sharp blade and was engraved with the word "Bravery". "This was my grandfather's. I think you're going to need it." Alastair said as he handed me the sword. I hesitated at first. I wasn't sure if I was going to use it well but the girl replied "Ok Kace, are you ready to fly this thing?" Alvie said all entertainingly. I replied with a confident "yes" then she placed her hand on my shoulder and said to me:
"Goodluck Kace, I believe in you."
I gave a tight hug to Alastair and Alvie one more time and let go of them. Alvie grabbed my hand and everyone was cheering for me. They were all screaming my name like I was a champion. I waved my hand to say goodbye to every Armanian, and Aella. Her black hair was blowing in the wind.. she looked at me and walked away until I wasn't able to see her. I wish I hadn't said what I said last night. I would feel much less nervous. I looked at her one last time and went in the plane.
"goodluck princey boy!" Alastair shouted.
