25: Flight & Arrival

Leilyn hears as the baluster crash to the ground and she awaits for the inevitable pain.

Which never came.

She slowly opens an eye and she lets out a gasps, her other eye opening and both eyes go wide as she looks down.

It seems as if she’s hovering in the air. Her dangling necklace, and her classic length hair – which touches the floor due to its long length – proves so. She lets out a harsh breath though her mouth, blowing debris dust into her face. She sneezes lightly.

Did… did Chibi give her the ability of flight? Or is this her child’s doing?

When Leilyn thinks back on the impromptu flight lesson Chibi gave that night, it answers her question.

“Whoa!” She exclaims as she starts floating up, feet first.

Her mind takes her back to Chibi’s lesson, their words resonating in her ears.

She inhales deeply before she concentrates on trying to control her new ability and not float to space like a wet ear dummy.
