I took a deep breath. This was my first flight.
Just remember to flap your wings.
Said my mother Max. Taking a running start I flung myself off the cliff. I dropped like a stone before rising clumsily up. I looked down and Max was waving up at me along with my dad, Fang. I smiled weakly back but to be honest I was more concerned with not falling to my death. The thought running through my mind that whole time was; how in the name of fifty two types of cement mix did they get so good at this!?
A few minutes later Max and Fang came up to join me in the skies. An idea popped into my head and I flew up so high I could hardly see my parents. Facing downwards I held my arms in front of me and folded in my wings. I'd seen Gazzy do it lots of times and he made it look easy. When I got dangerously close to the cliff I unfolded my wings and landed, running a few steps to keep my balance.
That. Was. Amazing.
