The Galactican Empire

The first flight

The moon glistened in the pale sky, floating among the dancing stars. As Andromida, Cecilia and Candis walked up a cliff path."wait for me you two"called a young Andromida from behind her family. "Run then Anne!"giggled Candis, her older sister, "you're fit it shouldn't be that hard"
"Oh do be nice, she is your sister Di-Di"Cecilia, their mum, scolded.
"But Mum..."
"No buts Di-Di"
"Mum it's fine Di-Di's just having fun."
"Anne be careful there"
"I will Mum" Andromida called cheerfully. She began edging slowly up the narrow path as pebbles tumbled off the edge. When...CRACK!
"ANDROMIDA!"screamed Cecilia but it was no use she was well out of sight. Andromida was plummeting towards sharp jagged rocks that marked the bottom of this treacherous cliff. As she plummeted she could here her mum's screams. All she could think was "I must change. I must. Otherwise this will be the last thing I do." She shook as she forced all her energy into transforming. A mere 50 feet from her death. It happened! A blinding flash of light erupted from her heart and swarmed around her. Then when she emerged from the ball of pure white light. It had happened. She was a bat! After a few moments of struggle she was flying. A smile of the purest joy spread across her 3 year old face. With huge amounts of energy she made it slowly and steadily up the cliff face. From the top Cecilia glimpsed the flash and gasped. She whispers "thank the moon". Soon after she saw Andromida come over the edge. Andromida collapse as soon as she hit the path. She was saved. She and her family began to walk across the path up to the picknick spot. They gasped and giggled as Andromida told her story.
