A New Era

Chapter 13: Training

"To start off your training for real," Jork nodded to Snow and she giggled, "You will drop and glide from 3 feet."

"THREE FEET!" Koal yells. "I'm not going to get past 1!"

"Quit freaking out, Koal. It's for training." I say.

"Indeed. I will also catch you if you can't glide." Jork adds. "Now, you will go first." He points his wing at me.

"OK. I've glided before. No problem." I reply.

*****************

"OK." Jork implies, "I'll fly to the bottem and be ready to catch you if you fall."

"I wont need that," I reply with a bound and with ease, glide to the floor.

"Very good, you're up."

"OK." Snow replied, "Let's do this!" She yells with a springy bounce, and almost fails. I chuckle at the sight. "What? Do I have something in my feathers?" She questioned.

"Oh. Its nothing." I respond.

"OK you two." Jork steps in, "Enough, it's time for the little one."

I can see Koal shiver at the spot he is frozen in. "Are you okay?" I question.

"Yes, it's just the drop." Koal responds.

"OK now, glide on down." Jork implies, again.

Koal jumps of what I think is a little to far but I hear Jork say, "Perfect." And Koal glides to the floor with his eyes closed, and runs into a wall when he 'lands'.

"Koal are you OK?" I ask in suspense.

"MI'm... Must... Mine..." He replies.

"What?!" Snow asks.

"He said he's fine." I reply to snows question.

"OK." Jork steps in, again. "The moon is falling, which means training is over."

"Awww." Koal says with popping up next to me.

"Time for you to go to your own caves." Jork leads us to an area with 3 caves. "Each of these are your own."

"COOL!" Koal yells, and is in his within an instant.

"Well, a girl could get her birdie sleep." Snow walks into hers.

"Go get some sleep." Jork implied, for the third time.

"I'll see you at the next moon rise." I reply, with a walk into the last cave.
