Have you ever had the sensation of wanting to fly? To be high above the clouds looking down at the world below. Now a days people fly planes, or sky dive to get that sensation. I remember when I first had that sensation, I was a child still running free along side the Faeries. One day as I was running with my friends I felt something release. It was like a rope had snapped, a sensation of utmost freedom over came me and I realized that behind me was set of wings. On instinct I opened them, the sensation of the wind hitting them overwhelmed me and I just knew I had to fly. That was short lived, *chuckles* I crashed making it only a few feet off the ground. It took years for the feathers to develop correctly and to become strong enough to take my weight. Once in my teen years I took to hiding them more, more interested in exploring the sea then the sky. Now as an adult I love to let them loose whenever I can, right now I'm perched 500 ft up on St. John's head. My feet dangling off the sides and my wings half outstretched I am completely relaxed. Looking to the side I smile at the whitish yellow feathers, the primaries a more golden colour that gleams in the sun. Stretching my wings I look out at the sea pulling a leg up a smile on my face. The day couldn't be better.
"England!"
Maybe it can. Looking up I can barely see a figure peering over the side of the cliff, luckily the cliff is also blocking me from the sight of the annoying red head. Said redhead is my elder brother Scotland. Folding my wings I move further back into the walls.
"Arthur I know you're down there. Get your arse up here… And try not to get yourself killed in the process!"
"Damn git." I mumbled hiding into my wings, "Why can't he just leave me alone."
"Now! You have wings bloody use them!"
WHAT! My eyes widen and I look up, how does he know. Standing up I jump off the cliff, falling before my wings snap open and the wind pushes me up to the top of the cliff. A good hundred yards back I can see Scotland waiting impatiently. Landing my wings automatically fold behind me. The feathers touching the ground.
"What do you want Scotland?" I ask crossing.
"Can't I wonder what your doing here?"
"Then I can wonder how you know about these." I open my wings a little bit.
"There hardly a secret, our whole family has the ability."
I stare at Scotland, anger surges through me.
"Its what. You're telling me we all have this ability." I glare at Scotland my hands clenched and the feathers on my wings fluffing.
"Don't get your feathers all bunched up. You're the one that never asked about our families abilities."
"Don't. Don't give me that! You were the one to alienate me."
"You're one to talk." Scotland growls.
Scowling I pace, anger and annoyance coming over me. Ten minutes pass and I finally turn on Scotland, doing a perfect military turn if I do say so myself.
"Show me." My voice is strict and demanding.
"What."
"Show me your damn wings. If it's true then show me."
A glare is my answer before I see the Scot roll his eyes and I know I had him. Stepping away the Scot loosens his shoulders, rolling them. I watch recognizing the movement and for the first time I watch the wings appear. The outline of the form just a faint formation before it solidify and spread. Gasping I stare at the blood red wings, the primaries a deep red. They stretch out further than mine and were wider Stepping forward I stretch my hand out wanting to touch them, the appendages shies away for a few seconds before they go into my touch. Mesmerized I did not realize that I had a smile on my face but I do not care. I know know. I am not a freak.
