Sky-

"What are we gonna do!!?? How could we possibly attach giant wings onto a humans back and have them work again??" July paced around on the beach, frustrated. She occasionally looked down on the ground at her forlorn friend and rubbed her chin thoughtfully. Wait....rubbed her chin thoughtfully!!??

  I stood up and interrupted Julys pacing, "July...I think your going crazy....take a break from.......thinking."

  "Crazy! Crazy!? What if I like being crazy!!!???" July crossed her arms and pointed her nose up sarcastically....very sarcastically.

  "July, I think Sky is right" Zayne said softly.

  July whipped her head towards him and smiled, "Yes...Actually I am feeling crazy somethin' bad. I think I'll lye down for a spell. Thank you very much." July spun on her heel and plopped on the sand, her eyes closed in attempt at sleep. Simon raised his eyebrows.

  "Guys...let's think seriously here...." Simon said. I watched him speak closely. My face heated up anxiously and I walked towards Alice.

  "It's okay,we'll find out something..." I said soothingly, watching sadly as Alice cried over the wings in her hands. She looked up at me with tears glistening in her eyes.

  "Sky...what if I'll never fly again? What if....the dream I had only lasted a little bit..." Her voice cracked and she hung her head.

  I sighed and turned towards the group, looking at their faces in search of a blinking yellow light. And then Zayne spoke.
 
  "Ezra.." Zayne stood up and examined the wings, a serious look painted on his shadowy face. Jasper's face lit up at the sound of the women's voice.
 
  Simon jumped up and stared towards Zayne in shock "No! She's too dangerous!!"
 
  "Wait...Wait.." I stepped in, "Who's Ezra, and how could she help Alice?"

  Simon sighed and brushed a lock of hair from his eyes, " Ezra is a wickedly famous evil sorceress known to perfect in voodoo hobbies.....or....that's what I have heard."

  Zayne rolled his eyes "Liar....Ezra is an evil sorceress, that is truth. But she is not some celebrity fame monster only doing fake voodoo for a chance at the big shot. She is much more. Ezra is admired by wizards and warlocks abroad. Her skills are unmatchable to any other sorceress or sorcerer in Monde de Demain. She has been around for ever, and she has been every where in the universe....creating history both good and bad. She is the only one who can help us, I have met her. She is not easy to persuade and has a soul like black coffee, bitter. But I think I can work something out....my father did it once..."

  Simon gritted his teeth, "Well I don't think it's such a good.."

  "Let's go, dammit... " Alice interrupted, standing up slowly with her wings nestled in her arms, "These wings are not just some fun trick of magic to play with....they are now a part of me, I need them. "

  Then it's settled....We leave in an hour " Jasper said Cooley, walking off and shaking July softly awake. He told July the plan and she stood up to help get ready for the journey.

  I guess after we get Alice's wings back...if we do....We can figure out our plan from there. Maybe we can help finish the ongoing war between the City of Obsidian and Monde de Demain. Or maybe not. Maybe this adventure will lead to a whole new one. As we twiddled our thumbs past the waiting hour, I was thinking about this. But I can't think any more. Because now we were on our feet and then on the backs of the still trusty dragons who saved us from prison. We were flying into dark lands. I am scared. But I have been through such pain.... I am strong. We are strong.
