Falling
The warrior looked around in worry. He could hear him, but couldn't see him. He heard the string stretch back. Even more frantically, he searched in the surrounding trees and bushes. He shielded his Goddess, giving up finding him, yet protecting her. Yet again, he heard the action, but didn't see it. It was the snapping of a bow string. He looked around nervously. Before he could react, though, his Goddess gasped out in pain. The warrior reacted instantly, twirling around and scooping up the Goddess in one swift movement. He hugged her close to his bare chest, looking around frantically and whistling a loud piercing noise. He spread his large black wings and lifted himself and his Goddess into the sky seamlessly.
He flew over the tree tops, searching for a glimpse of the palace in the distance. When it came into view, he only sped up. As he neared the palace, he got lower and lower to the ground, careful not to injure his goddess further.
