In the snow, they flew high as they could.

Matt and Shiro challenged each other to see who could get to the clouds first. It was difficult getting up there with the heavy clothing weighing them down. Matt has reached up his hand, and -although it was technically cheating - got to the clouds first.

"Just enjoying myself." Matt smiled and looked down at the ground far below. To a normal person, this would have been something to be scared about. Yet, for the avians, this was total euphoria.
