[Chapter 11] - Wings of Liberation - Part 3
The three search where the fearsome Ledakan was attacking, trying to find a trace of his acid.
– Children, I found something not very pleasant. Go back to the village and tell one of the guards to come here.
They ignore Roldi and approach to see what was not very pleasant. Surrounded by acid-melted leaves and roots, a human bone is seen by them. Without a trace of clothes and in the middle of a gororoba that is believed to be what is left of his body. Kahyu vomits instantly upon witnessing such a scene and smell. Kalui just covers her nose and leaves the place serving as a support for her friend to walk better.
– Let's go tell a guard ... – Kalui says to her friend.

A party is taking place on every street. Families and neighbors gather outside their houses or in the plaza with fountain in the center of the village to celebrate. Drinks, food and music from small independent bands everywhere. All for free.
The square is filled with several tables forming a circle around the fountain. In this place, Kalui , Roldi and Whiger are at a table next to the village leader. The gray-haired gentleman is already slightly altered and the old man is completely drunk. Lucy finds herself at a table a little further away, with his wife and two children, one with a brown eye and the other with a blue eye.
Whiger gets up and says aloud to the people at the table – a sullen adviser, guards, the elder and his family. – with a firm tone and a determined look.
– Guys, I already learned everything I could learn and I am forever grateful! I want to leave tomorrow morning, right after the party. I will miss you all! – He raises his glass of juice to Lucy who is far away without hearing anything they are talking about. – Thank you very much!
Roldi and Kahyu hug him and the other people at the table applaud the young man's little speech.
Kalui raises his glass of juice and yells:
– Let's drink! – He turns his glass as if it were a shot of cachaça. – Very good! – He screams. – Tomorrow our trip will finally return!
" Kalui ... How can you get drunk on juice? hahahaha " , thinks Roldi.
– 10 ... – Everyone in the village screams. – 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Happy new year!

– Guys, seriously, I think I'm going to die. Go without me and live for me! – Kahyu says , throwing himself on the floor.
I rounded it up in my lap with one hand while holding my large bag with the other and putting it back on my feet.
– Stop the drama, walk. Kalui , please reduce our weight. – Says Roldi.
"Wow, I was supposed to do this on time! " , Thinks Kalui .
After another hour of walking, the group finally reaches its destination. A beautiful grassy cliff facing the great blue sky and a giant ocean as blue as, looking like a reflection.
Children's eyes shine like never before. Kahyu takes a deep breath and lets out all the air in his lungs, relaxing his body in a way he hasn't done in many months. A single tear leaks from Whiger's right eye as the girl cries silently. However, the two smile.
Kalui smiles bigger than her face, takes off her blouse and underwear and says:
– Whoever finishes last will have to climb again! Hehehehe ... – He throws himself off the cliff and screams as he falls. – Whoever gets to the clouds, of course!
He fires a strong gust of wind from his hands as he decreases the gravity around him and flies through the skies, whirling himself and around until he gets tired and flying at high speed down, plunging headfirst into the sea.
"This kid ... If anyone has seen this, I have no idea how we are going to get out of this. " , Thinks Roldi.
Worried, Kahyu asks:
– Kalui , do you know how to swim !?
Floating quietly, he nods, implying that he is not listening at all.
Children take off their clothes and look at the sea below their feet.
– Dear brave sister, why don't you go first?
– Dear idiot brother may have given xar qqq-I will! – She replies, stuttering.
Kahyu throws himself screaming. Halfway through, Kalui uses his powers to levitate her, maintaining her height and moving her to fall beside him. As soon as the boy releases her from her powers, she screams again for falling again. The impact on the water wets Kalui's entire face and he asks:
– Cold, right? Hahahaha .
Whiger still on the cliff looks at Roldi and says:
– Watch the incredible flying Whiger !
The boy's skin twitches on his back until two kinds of slender limbs start to come out. The muscles in your breasts stiffen and grow. The strange members of the back quickly expand to the sides, becoming similar to two incredibly long and thin arms, stopping growing when reaching three and a half meters each limb. From them, another layer begins to build downwards until it forms a wing and thus, white feathers gradually begin to emerge from the entire surface of the skin.
Roldi gaped at the realization that Whiger created two huge wings with feathers and everything.
He performs a flapping of wings and says with them open:
– You thought you wouldn't move, right? They are real wings, you can close your mouth! Hahahaha . I am incredible!
– You are ... You are just like your sister! – Roldi starts to laugh and complements. – You can't do something that is already beginning to be found! Hahahaha ! They are really brothers.
Whiger tilts his head to the side, flushed with shame.
In a calm and velvety tone, the gray-haired man says:
– Yes, Whiger , you are amazing.
The naked boy with wings smiles, stretches his wings backwards, runs towards the sea and jumps spreading his wings while screaming.
– I can fly too!
He mimics less quickly and fluidly than Kalui , movements similar to what he did when I fly. Leaning his body forward, closing his wings on his back and diving at high speed into the sea, beside the two children.
As he falls into the salt water, Kahyu hugs him and exclaims:
– Damn, you are very amazing! Is this what you have been learning all this time?
He scratches his head and replies:
– No way, I learned that in one day. – He looks at Kalui , who is totally baffled by what he just saw. – Hehehe ... Now you know how I looked when we met!
The three begin to laugh and play in the water.
Roldi watches them from a distance, sitting on the edge of the cliff with a wide smile on his face.
"I love these kids ..."
