Winged

Chapter 2

My newly found wings began to grow tired I glanced over at Warner who still had his hand in mine.

"So where exactly are we headed?"  I yelled over the loud wind.

"To the city of Bangkok"  I began to translate in my head, 'the city of angels'.

"Does everybody speak different languages."

"Yes many of us know all languages.  The royal family usually picks the languages up easily."

"What?"

"Ahh nothing but we are not going to the Bangkok in Thailand."  I looked at him curiously.

"We have to go to the Tower of Babel, and from there we will reach the city of Bangkok where the castle stands."

"The gate of God?"  Warner nodded his head.  I held my breath, 'what is going to happen to me' I thought to myself.

Warner noticed my sudden tense air, "what's wrong?"

"What's going to happen to me?"  I glanced at him.

"I'm not sure but I know I will be there with you every step of the way," he gave me a smile I couldn't explain.  But I returned a smile and could feel my cheeks grow warm.

*•*•*•*

We pushed on until darkness grew which forced us to stop.  We landed near a tiny abonded barn.  Draco had managed to curl him self around my neck while we had been in flight.

Warner pushed the barn door open, "this should keep us safe from dark angel spies," he sighed.  I slowly stepped into the barn and waited for Warner to close the door before curling my wings around my body.

Coming close to me Warner mimicked my idea, "goodnight Rhea."

"Goodnight Warner."

We drifted off to a sleep.  A memory appeared in my dream.  A little boy with black hair, blue eyes, and black wings was holding my hand, we swung our hands back in fourth. 

"We're going be to married one day Rhea!"

I gasped, "Really?" my high pitched voice squeaked.

"Yep!  I'm never going to let anyone else marry you!  That's a promise!" 

I giggled, "Yay!  We'll be happy!"  I squealed.

A little winged boy and girl came into view.  I couldn't quite make their faces out.  The little boy beside me waved.

"Guess what!  Rhea and I are gonna get married!"

"Congrats Warner!"  I snapped awake.  'That couldn't have been a memory, could it?' I thought to myself. 

I unfolded my wings and stretched them.  Draco uncurled himself from my neck and stretched out on the ground.

I patted his scaley head before looking around for Warner.  He was no where to be found but light filtered in through a crack in the door. 

Nudging it open with my shoulder the door easily gave.  I narrowed my eyes as the harsh sunlight hit them.  Warner was sitting in the grass.

"Warner?"

He turned around and looked at me, "Yes?"

I cleared my throat, "Did we know each other when we were young?"

Warner nodded at me, "Your memories are returning," he smiled at me.

I giggled, "So when's the wedding?"

He began to blush but then recovered, "I figured we would get married after the war was over."

I nodded, "Sounds good."  We both laughed.

"Let's head off," he grabbed my hand and we stood there for a moment.  Enveloping me in a hug he whispered, "I thought I would never be able to hug you again I'm glad you are back Rhea."

I wrapped my arms around him.  Draco let out a huff, which made us jump apart.

"Uh right we should... We should go."

"Yea..."

We jumped into the air and took off into the sky. 

"We don't have much farther to go before we reach the Tower of Babel."  Warner informed me.

I nodded, excited and scared for what would be next.
