Chapter 4 : Ellesmera

The next morning we gathered at breakfast, respecting the elf customs, we skipped the meat and fish. Imira told us she had permission to escort and guide us to Ellesmera, along with four others.

Ginny smiled at Imira: "We need no guides, we know the way, just show us a nearby meadow with some open space, while Harry takes us there can you help Eragon with the ancient language? We could do it ourselves but we are missing the finer details."

Belladonna added: "He is young but eager to learn, please, inform him of the main customs of your people. We arrive at Ellesmera before dinner." That statement raised their eyebrows.

Imira could not believe what she heard: "That will require an impossible speed, even a dragon needs five times more at top speed, without stopping to reach Ellesmera."

Parvati could not help to brag a bit: "We are not using dragons, we are using man-made devices combined with magic. We are approaching the speed of sound with it. Harry with that constant speed of sound, we can calibrate our measuring units." That comment got the elves whispering among each other, I bet they were imagining some wooden bird-shaped constructs, with me on top yelling spells at it.

"You will see for yourself at the meadow, although in the manor, the view outside will be limited. Let us finish breakfast first, Dobby and Winky did a splendid job preparing it."

Dinner refused to come to me, she had to be saddled by Pansy, that bloody horse looked more and more appetizing. Pansy slapped my arm: "Be nice to Dinah, it is your fault she is scared of you. The predator is oozing from you, now, stop looking at her as if you want to eat her." Hey, I was only thinking of that, but Pansy was right, unconsciously the dragon mentality seeped through. Hunting in my mindscape as a dragon was fun, especially in a group. I retracted my animal instincts and got on Dinner, asking her to follow the rest.

A half-hour later we reached an open space in the forest, we cleared some obstacles and took a spitfire outside. The elves were inspecting the plane, asking countless questions to the girls.

Parvati, after answering everything told me: "Harry, there is a two-seater in the hangar, it will be slower, but a guide can fly along with you." Imira had stars in her eyes with the opportunity to fly along.

"Thank you for reminding me honey, Imira, I guess you will be flying with me? These were used as training airplanes." Imira smiled and nodded at me, eager to experience the flight. We changed planes, put the horses inside, put the elves inside… Imira watched with amazement how I shrunk the trunk and hung it on my neck.

"Don't worry, the space inside does not change, I only shrunk the door to it. You may take the front seat." I helped her strap in, with the silencing runes on the engine and propeller, we could just have a normal conversation in the cockpit. We took off, I just grazed the treetops to keep it exciting, after setting course to Ellesmera, I raised the altitude to forty thousand feet, so she could have a good view of the world beneath.

Imira: "Incredible, we are flying so high that we can see the curb of the horizon. I could stay up here for the rest of my life. I often envied the dragon riders for their ability to fly. You have my gratitude for this experience." She pointed Osilon out when we passed it. After an hour, the novelty of flying had calmed down, and we started to talk about the mechanics of the plane and the science to get it in the air.
