Shinto knew what she had to do.
She stood at the precipice, eyes closed, nostrils flared.
Breathing deeply. Her eyes flickered open. It was time.
So, she took flight.
She gained momentum and with that the strength she needed to face what she feared most.
Strength from the ones before her,
For she was Dragon.
And there was a reason people would say "Mighty as a Dragon".
She would need to summon all her might for what she was going to do.
For the journey home would hold more than one challenge. Her stomach clenched at the thought... Facing Father.
