"Hey, Christopher," Ryna slid in the door. He turned and smiled at her.

"Hey! I got it done!" Christopher beemed as he held them up.

"WOW! I knew I could count on you!" Ryna hugged him and grabbed the wings.

"I haven't tested them yet, so..."

"It's fine, I'll try them on before I freaking plunge into the unknown." Ryna chuckled and slipped them on her," Okay, so,"

"I need to connect them to your muscles, just take a deep breath, it'll be like getting a shot." Christopher walked behind her and made something click.

Ryna took a deep breath and-

"HOLY FORK!" She screamed," Like a shot?" She turned with a face of pure hurt.

"I needed you to be relaxed, if you had known it would feel like that it would hurt even more. From now on the wings either don't come off or hurt less when they connect."

"Okay," She sniffled," I'm going to try them. Anything I need to know?"

"Uhhh... It'll be like flying, but you'll need to physically do some work. They aren't your actual muscles, and they respond to muscle movement, so you need to shake your shoulders more than usual. You'll have to remember to work like that for a while until it just clicks."

"'Kay, got it, bye." She ran out and jumped up, pushing her shoulders back in a repetitive motion. She felt her body lifting up, her feet leaving the clouds as she clamped her eyes closed until she could see abstract color.

"I'M FLYING!" She yelled, beaming with delight. A few passerbys assumed she was a newcomer, looked up and gasped. The first angel to be amputated, yet fly once again.

"Woah! WOO RYNA!" Pepper ran over and shouted with a grin, chearing the friend acheiving the impossible.

"Ryna? How!?" Tereasi gasped.

"Uuhh, Christopher!" She smiled and gave two thumbs up.

"Where are you even gonna go?" Pepper asked.

"To Hell," Ryna explained, starting to tire. She hovered down and landed, snapping a water into existence and chugging the icey liquid.

"Be careful..." Pepper warned.

"What about requirements?" Tereasi asked frantically.

"Fork requirements! I'll just get an eternal pardon from the princess!"

"And this'll work how?" Tereasi crossed her arms," The castle is heavily guarded, no way you could get in."

"That tower," Ryna pointed upwards into the sky," I'll fly up, ask her, then plummet down."

"Whatever, just don't come crying to me if you get put into the Hell Prison."

"Oh, I won't." Ryna smirked and took off upwards, racing up the walls.

"What are you doing here?" The princess asked, shocked," Didn't you loose your wings?"

"Yes, but I got metal ones!" She paused," I have a question..."

"Yes?"

"Can I have an eternal kingdom crossing parden?"

"Well, well," She chuckled her sweet chuckle," I suppose you are very brave, and I do owe you."

"So, yes?" Ryna beamed, her posture perking up.

"Yes. Yes you may." The princess smiled at her.

Ryna thanked her and stood in the window, the one leg she sat on keeping her steady.

"Bye!" She fell backwards, catching the wind and safely landing like a pro.

"Well?" Tereasi smiled smugly.

"I can go." Ryna smirked," Bye you non-beleiver." She strutted over to the edge and stepped off, feeling the wind hit her as she fell.

One question, she thought, will I catch  on fire or something?
