First Flight

A flutter of wings and she's off, stumbling uncertainly upwards into the air; a fledgling in first flight.

The ground falls away and she flails her arms at first hint of falling. A flash of pink and gold is all she is to her friends down below her, but she can see anything and everything. Suddenly the world is open to her, this little angel of sixteen, and she cries out for joy, whirling and swooping, giggling the while and thinking to herself…

Maybe it's worth it after all…

Fin.

Thoughts: Colette is. Colette is. Another early-game drabble, one picturing both a happier and a graver thought – one of Colette experiencing flying for the first time with her new wings, and the other of the fate that awaits her at the end of the journey. And yet, she never stops smiling, does she?
