Beyond Small (Book 1)

On Air

Bloom's POV:

"Where did you learn that? I don't think you do that in your kingdom." I asked to Amor with an eye brow raised.

"Well I happen to be in love with your small world which is full of big surprises." he replied. The rest frowned and muttered something.

"Flap your wings "Porta said. We were standing on the top of the logs. On one were Porta and Amor and on the other Steve and I were standing.

We started flapping wings. I was looking at Steve who was smiling at me. I looked at Amor and Porta who's feet were off the log and we were just flapping.

"Come on, last day when I lied about Max you did it at once" Porta said to me. Amor flew in between us and kept his hands in our shoulders. "Last night I saw Nix fly to Ignis and.........." he trailed of his sentence and I could feel my hot face.

We both gazed at him and he flew away innocently. "Don't pressurize your legs with your body weight, try to lift up." Amor said returning to his own place.

I just pulled my legs up and didn't stop flying. And then I could sense the air tickling my bare foot. Few moments later Steve was by my side as always.

"Brilliant" Porta said loosing his crossed arm. "Like I said fly high" Amor said and Porta nodded at him. They flew up in the sky then.

Steve and I, we both nodded at each other and flapped our wings harder lifting our bodies up in the sky. "We're flying" I said to Steve happily as I felt the wind pressing my body.

"Yeah I love it." Steve smiled. "Now try to pause in air not moving your body, just your wings." Porta said.

"It's not that hard." Amor said. Their voices were hard to hear while flying. Now they were in mid air just flapping wings. As if someone played statute-game with them.

It was hard to move up at first and when I'm used to it, now I can't slow down. For a moment I loosen by body grip and let gravity control. Once I was at the level of Amor and Porta I gripped my body and tried to hold still.

After I was still Steve came beside me and for awhile we all looked like flying statues. "Well done" they both said in unison.

For landing I did the gravity trick but this time 50-50. Half grip and half gravity. Then Mission 'On Air' was successful at first try.

But my big wings were in a lot pain due to fly-high.
