In the rush of the wind that filled my ears, I still fell without being able to use my new wings.
"Lavanya, is there no other way for her wings?" Black Pearl urged her.
"Don't worry if she falls; I can heal her again because we have a contract." Lavanya quickly said something terrible inside me.
I close my eyes and steady myself, and scream.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!"
Bush!
"Eh?!"
Byur!
I didn't expect a miracle to come to me; with just one flap, I could withstand the gravity that could make me die instantly. But the trade-off was that I had to be swept away by the swift current that dragged us along.
Shortly after that, on the riverbank.
"Hah! Hah! I… don't want to… try again!" I said breathlessly.
"Eh...! even though you've managed to pack it," said Lavanya. "Even if only once," she sneered.
"Hey!"
"Stop it! We'd better figure out how to head south," said Black Pearl.
While I was doubtful about the direction of the Black Pearl, I at least wanted reassurance from him.
"Black Pearl, may I ask you something?"
He fell silent.
"Where are we going?"
"South," he answered simply.
"More correctly?"
"Segat."
"Segat? Like the name of a monster I've read about in the book Grandma gave me."
"Originally, Segat was a divine being who protected my brother Molniya's power. This creature has a body like an ostrich, but its feathers are lighter than cotton, and if you run, you won't be able to follow it," explained Black Pearl.
I just listened to the Black Pearl tell a long story about the sacred creature until finally the beast was destroyed, and the humans seized the pearl in him, and now some pearls have been inserted into Alexus.
My shoulder blades started to hurt from not being able to position my wings properly. On the way, I began to feel a few branches, but it took some time to move them, and we decided to spend the night in the woods outside the town of Jiganski.
The bonfire's warmth calmed my heart, even though I was nervous about what humans would do to me in the future. I'm just pensive.
"Honey, have you tasted your wings yet?" asked Lavanya, breaking my daydream.
"A little," I answered simply.
The moonlight began to be covered by clouds, and my blank gaze began to crush. My consciousness while staring at the dancing fire in front of me.
The wind was starting to blow fiercely.
"It looks like there will be a storm tonight; I have to find shelter," I thought.
I decided to find a building or cave that could protect my body. Thanks to the wings that had grown on my back, my drowsiness disappeared as soon as I carried it.
As if carrying a bag full of firewood. It started raining. The roar of the water droplets grew louder with the wind. I immediately ran even though without direction until, finally, the meadow greeted me with a fierce flash of lightning.
Jdar!
Deadlock for me.
I didn't think I'd be the target of the thunderbolt, but the pain it caused wasn't as bad as when I started to grow my wings.
My body quickly began to return to normal.
"Wow, this Lavanya magic is exciting."
"Hm-hm! You heard it's Black Pearl. My magic is the best," Lavanya mocked.
"So, are you going to continue to fuse with the ground?" asked the slightly emotional Black Pearl.
I who lay down can only surrender. All I can think about right now is the risk of straightening my legs in this clearing.
"Hmm, looks like you guys have to be patient until this storm calms down a bit."
Suddenly the situation calmed down; the rain that was so heavy disappeared instantly and left only a drizzle.
"Look! This is the fruit of patience," I said arrogantly.
"Um, honey! Can you tilt your head for a second?" Lavanya asked.
"Lavanya, you are too wor—"
Clouds gathered like gray snowflakes. The big cloud pulled and left no cloud around it still, then a white thread of destiny descended 50 meters from where I was standing.
"What thread is that?"
"Have you ever heard of the gathering of water crystals held back by the wind until he finally grows up?" said Black Pearl.
"Devastating cyclone! Grandma used to say that to me."
We were silent for a moment as the white thread descended rapidly to the ground; it grew bigger and broader.
"Tornados!" the three of us shouted.
The white thread quickly moved and began to form the walls.
"Hera, what are you going to do?" shouted Black Pearl.
"As you can see! I hope this works."
I started crushing the ground to form a hole enough for me with a depth of 10 meters from the surface, and it was pretty draining of my strength.
The intense rumbling and tremors in the ground were genuinely terrifying and terrifying. Tornado wall? I can only close my eyes and press my ears tightly.
It was a terrible night; the wind wall passed me over my head with a vigorous shaking that made my body shudder.
"Aaaaaaaa!" I shouted in terror.
Until finally, things calmed down.
"It's done?" Lavanya whispered.
I started staring at the hole in my head while removing my hand from my ear. I'm petrified because I've never seen any magic that can control nature.
With the fear that he had left me, I started crushing the ground and made a step ladder to get out of the hole. 'So calm is it was what crossed my mind.
I just focused on seeing the sky, which was quite bright from where I was standing. When my head poked out of the hole.
Brrrr!
The ground shaking started approaching us again, and the wall came running to greet us quickly.
"Oh, shit!"
Brrrr!
I was sucked up, tossed around, torn apart, and still moving between the whirlwinds.
With a crouched position hugging both knees, I tried to protect this body in the sea of strong wind currents.
"For the first time, I feel that the wind can be this sharp," I thought. The tornado tore my body quickly.
Ten? Not even tens of times or hundreds of times, Lavanya healed the wounds that kept popping up as the wind tore through my body.
Finally, I was awakened by the sun's light that I did not know where it came from, shining on my closed eyeballs.
"Hera opens your eyes," said Black Pearl.
The ocean of white clouds in the sun was visible on both of my eyeballs. I can feel the softness of the clouds just by looking at them.
"Ocean above the clouds!"
As we enjoyed the beautiful ocean above the clouds, the big hole started to move away and get smaller.
"Phew! Thank you," I said to them both.
"It turns out you can too!" Lavanya replied.
"What can I do?"
"Look at your feet!" Lavanya replied.
When I looked down, my body floated, and my wings continued to flap. I feel it.
"Whoa!" I'm blazing with joy.
Since this was a precious moment, I began to explore this ocean. Playing with the clouds and exploring places I've never been to completely dispelled my fear of the fierce winds.
I vigorously flew higher and higher, with my heart fluttering and lungs stifled.
"Cough! I can't breathe!"
I didn't know that the higher I flew, the less air I breathed.
"HERA!"
For the second time, I fell, but this time the point of my fall was far enough so that I calmed down a little. When we entered the clouds, the earth immediately greeted us with the sun shining through the gaps in the shadows.
"Wow! Very beautiful!"
From above the sky was a group of people I had met yesterday.
"They know," I thought.
They ran to break the line.
"I won't let them get away!"
I quickly grabbed the ground while flying around them to lock them in the trench.
Boom!
Pretty smooth landing.
"Lavanya, can I wear clothes like you are wearing? This cloth makes me itch."
"Of course, dear," replied Lavanya.
I started imagining Lavanya's body the first time we met. Hawthorn roots began to wrap around me and covered my body with leaves to form a beautiful gorgeous dress, which was pretty comfortable.
"Forgive us, goddess! We didn't do anything wrong; please don't take our lives!" asked the mother while prostrating.
Tears continued to flow when she saw me. The father's body also trembled in him. I don't understand why they are so scared.
Bravely the father came and said.
"Take my life, but I beg you to spare them!" asked the father.
Quite interesting.
"Okay! Black Pearls!"
"Well!" replied Black Pearl.
Magic soot began to gather and began to enter my body. Their child's magic began to be absorbed and only left the body.
"NO ...! You liar! You're going back on your word! Damned Goddess!" my father's slurs continued to rain down on me.
"I don't remember going to fulfill your wish."
