We came back on that mountain day after day. I was pushed off that mountain every time we reach the top, and I’m always ending up on being saved by Professor Oliver’s portal.

It has been 8 months, but I didn’t make any progress on my flying skills.

We are here again at the top of this mountain. It’s this mountain’s fault! Kidding! Why would it be its fault? The blame is on me.

Before pushing me again, Professor whispered on my ear.

“I won’t use my portal. I have had enough! When you die, you die! I can make Steven do the mission anyway.” He pushed me right away after spitting out his last word. I’m now falling. I’ve been falling for eight months. I already got used to it.

He’ll make Steven do the mission.

He’ll make Steven...

He’ll make...

STEVEN?! HE’LL MAKE STEVEN DO THE MISSION?! WHAT MISSION?! THIS WHOLE THING? THIS ‘KILLING’ THING?!!

I don’t know what got into me but I suddenly spread my wings, then I focused all of my bollix to them. I flapped them hard and I was happy when I was able to feel the solid ground on top.

“How dare you mention Steven’s name!” I yelled at him and I got a laugh in response.

“See... You flew.” I could hear Professor’s happiness by his tone.

“Come with me.”  I heard professor walked and I followed him. We went down the mountain my land and we walked for a hundred kilometers.

“Professor! May I take these heavy garments off?” He didn’t talk back. It means no. (-_-“)

“Follow me.” I heard him flew up. Is he kidding me? He wants me to fly again? Does he know how much courage it took for me to fly just an hour ago?!

“Think of your family! Think of the things you must do. You won’t be able to accomplish those if you don’t use your wings. A flightless rym, is a dead rym.”

I thought of Aim. If I want to follow him, I must learn how to fly on my own.

If I want to catch and fight the boy who killed my father, I must learn how to fly on my own.

If  I want to make the traitors and the Steffan pay for my mother’s death, I must learn how to fly on my own.

And if I want to fly by Steven’s side without being a burden,... I must... learn how to...

I slowly spread my wings and lifted myself up. I casted away my fear for that moment. I’ll use this opportunity that I can’t see anything, that I am blind. It’s an advantage. I won’t be able to see how high am I.

“That’s right Adriana. Now, use your senses and follow me.” I’m now flying low.

I followed Prosessor and BANG! I think I just bumped a huge tree.

“I told you to use your senses!”

BANG! And another tree...

“Use your senses!”

BANG! Another tree... Is he messing around with me?! I’m already using my senses but it’s hard for me to control my direction since I can’t see anything! I was able to master moving around and fighting without looking, but it’s on land! It’s a different issue when it’s on air! I stopped flying and went back to the ground. I felt professor stopped flying and he walked towards me.
