The fall

Me and Techno had to leave pogtopia and head back to the castle. The trip was fairly annoying since we were travelling at night. Techno ended up with an arrow in his arm that y/n had to help him patch up. When we reached one of the towers, Techno threw a rope into the window and began climbing. Y/n simply stared at him. The two of them were air benders, why on earth weren't they just flying. Y/n began to float gently. Soon she was at least 10 feet of the ground, then 20, then 30. The air was spinning as if it were a cyclone. I could see inside the window. I reached out to try and hold the ledge. I felt my fingers graze the stone as I began to sink. My hair flew past my face as I fell. My body fell past techno and I felt him try to grab onto my wrist. I slipped out of his grip and hit the ground with a bone shattering snap. I arched my back as I hit the floor. I heard techno slide down the rope and run over to me. I heard him yelling something but I couldn't make out what he was saying. Everything sounded muffled, as if I were hearing from underwater. My eyes started turning black and felt so lightheaded that I thought I was sleeping. I knew I was going to pass out, I fell from 30 feet, who wouldn't pass out from a fall from that height. Yet, the more I waited. The more I realised that I wasn't falling unconscious. I could feel the pain in my lower back, but after a short while. I started to feel normal. My hearing was coming back and I could see quicker. I looked up to see Techno hunched over me. And if I am correct, he was, crying? I could hear soft sobs and I felt my clothes become damp from tears.

"Techno?" I said. My voice softer that it had ever been before.

His head shot up and before I could say a word he wrapped me in a tight hug. His arms quivering as he held me. I pat him on the back trying to treasure him that I was alright. I hadn't spent much time with people, so I was still working on my people skills.

"How-how, how are you even alive?" Techno stuttered.

"If I'm being honest" I said, "I don't even know."

I tried to stand but Techno was still laying on me. It felt mean to just throw him off.

I sat upright and simply laid still while he held onto my shoulder. I'm not sure how long we sat there door before techno spoke again.

"y/n..."

"Yeah, pinkie."

"Could you, try to be more careful. I know you won't die, but...

"But what?"

"Just try to be more careful I don't want to lose you."

"I'll try to be more careful Techno."

"Promise?"

"Promise."
