Wings of Fire The Awaking of Albatross

The Frightening Fall(Chapter 9)

So, with Hawk falling, and the object in front of him that took them so long to reach, Cacti must choose, help Hawk, or get the object.

Cacti didn't hesitate. He knew which option he would regret the most. So he gathered up his courage and leaped from the mountain peak. His wings tucked close to his body, diving headfirst. He saw Hawk, the most powerful flier of all the dragon types, falling his wing splashed out falling on his back, when he saw Cacti, he tried to flap his wings harder, but it was no use.

Cacti zoomed down and knocked him and himself towards a lake. Then they landed with a big splash in the cold lake. Cacti quickly swam to the surface and spotted Hawk splashing over to land. They both quickly got on land. They panted on the grass then dried off.

"Oh no!" Hawk groaned. "It's all my fault, we were so close and I fell." He looked upset. Cacti tried to hide a laugh but failed. Hawk looked up. "What are you laughing about?" Hawk asked. "You see, sandwings are known for their love of treasure... but this sandwing here likes his friends, soooo... I have something to show you." Cacti told him. "What?" Hawk asked. Cacti grinned and tossed Hawk something. Hawk looked at it and for a second, he was speechless."Cacti, you are amazing, you got THE OBJECT!" He yelled. "C'mon man, let's head over." Cacti shook his wings.

Hawk and Cacti flew faster than ever before, with a quick stop for a snack or two of course.
