Chapter 8 - 8. Return

"Nope. I just think I should try harder than anyone else. Most people use their wings when they're little. Whereas, I can't even move it until now. I kinda feel... It's not fair. 'why was I born this way?' the question often popped into my head."

"Ren, we can never be anyone else. No matter how hard we try, it's impossible. The only thing we're gonna get... It is only the constant confidence that comes down because the effort we have made is futile."

"So you're saying I should stop trying?"

"I'm not suggesting you give up. You can keep trying to do what you want. But don't be so hard on yourself. Everything has a limit that cannot be crossed," Ozi explains.

Ren smiled pleased. "Ozi, where are you quoting the wise? You look like someone else. Anyway, thank you!" She stood up. Ozi nodded and retorted her smile.

"Where are you going? Are you going to start flying again?"

"Stand up! Please carry me up the cliff!" Demanded Ren half. Ozi obeyed her wishes and carried her up the cliff. When he got to the cliff, how surprised he saw a dark-winged man leaning against a huge rock.

"You!" Ozi shouted after seeing the person ren was going to introduce. "Isn't he the one who made you fall off the cliff? At the time, the boy complained without an apology," he said to Ren. Alen's widening his eyes.

Ren laughed softly with his friend's indecency. "Don't talk like that. You don't remember? He makes me fly. He is my lucky. Introduce yourself to him!"

Ozi reached out with confidence. "I'm Ozi! The most handsome and wealthy man in the village."

"I'm Alen. A gentleman from across town. I will help ren to fly," arrogant Alen, taking his hand in hand. Ozi stared resentfully as he took off his hands.

Ozi noticed that Alen was teaching Ren how to fly. However, he was suddenly hesitant when he saw that there was nothing special about the method that Alen used to teach. He went up to Alen and took the black-winged man a little away from "Can you really help him? If you're just playing with that girl, just say it from now on and be gone," she threatened.

The truth is, he wasn't sure about it either. He himself could not control the power of his spirit. "Should I say it honestly?" Asked Alen in a dilemma.

Ozi was wide-eyed and totally unaware of the question. "Are you kidding me right now?"

"I didn't mean to lie. But she forced me to teach her, " said Alen in a hushed voice. "She threatened to tell on me if she didn't want to. What will I do after being threatened like that?"

Ozi noticed that ren seemed eager to practice the things that Alen had taught him earlier. At the time, he didn't have the heart, to tell the truth. He sighed with resignation. "In the meantime, please don't tell her about this. I don't want her to lose hope as she did a few days ago."

Alen thought for a moment, then nodded. "Well, I wouldn't say that. But make sure she never reports me."

"That's easy."

Suddenly, the noise made Alen have to hide behind the big rocks. Whereas, Ozi and ren stood side by side and looked down. People were picking up someone who was trying to break free. Looking very carefully, the man doesn't have wings. They looked at each other with anxious expressions. "I think it's the black wings."

"Will they really torture the black wings?" Asked ren worried.

"I don't know. It was the first time they had caught the lock," Ozi responded, looking back.

Ren looked back and was confused when there was no one there. "Ozi, did you see where Alen went?"

"What?" freaking Ozi. "Lest he goes to rescue the captured black wings!"

"Then we must follow where the citizens are taking the caught man," Ren suggested.

Alen entered a place where Kim would be. He searched room after room to find the woman. He kept looking with anxious expressions and already very confused thoughts. In fact, he paid no attention to children who were staring at him with strange eyes.

"Alen? I was just coming to see you, "Kim said in amazement. She hugged a boy wearing the academy uniform where he was teaching.

Alen grabbed Kim's shoulders. "Kim, are you okay? You've been teaching your sister? "His anxieties.

"I do teach here," says Kim, who seems confused with Alen's attitude. "What is this? What's wrong with you?"

Alen breathed a sigh of relief. He squeaked when he realized he was at the children's academy. Though, he often visited this place because he wanted to take Kim to lunch. But, he didn't expect to enter this place without using his senses. "One of the black wings was captured in the Aves Village. Since she's a girl, I thought it was you! "He said in a low voice.

Kim frowned. "How did you know?" He asked, and then he squinted toward Alen. "Wait! You must be there again, right?"

Alen snorted. "Oh, my god, Kim. It doesn't matter now. Someone is being arrested right now. We must rescue her," reveals him with agitated expressions.

Kim shook her head. Then she asked her sister to come home first. After her sister had complied, she turned her attention to him. "Are you stupid? Those who have been captured by the white wings will never return," he explained. Alen then responded with his mouth half-open.

"What? Why is that? Let's report to the leader of the Aves City. Gather the people and use our strength to negotiate with the white wings," Alen suggested with a little confusion.

"Stop your nonsense. Our powers won't work there, "annoyed Kim all the way out of the academy.

"What did you say? "Alen asked, still in his bewilderment. He followed Kim until they were on the roof.

"Oh, my god, now I know why you suck at the power of the spirit," Kim wheezed as she rolled her eyes. "Alen, this is why I always tell you not to sleep during class."

"Oh, Kim. Why did you bring that up?" Asked Alen in frustration. He was not only anxious because the black wings were caught, but also because of the fact that perhaps the person would not be able to return.

"Alen, no one can use the power of the spirit in the village. It is said that the village is protected by a patron god. If you go there, your powers will be gone, "Kim said in a serious tone. She held one of Alen's shoulders as she looked at him. "Why do you think the villagers captured the black wings so easily?"
