Wyatt circled around and then dived towards the ground, feeling a sudden adrenaline rush as he was just seconds away from hitting the sand head first. At the last minute he began flying back up again and flapped his wings as hard as he could, building up more and more speed.
He glided through the air again, taking in the scenery below. The golden sands that stretched on for what seemed like miles, rocks that reached up towards the sky and the deep blue sea with the waves crashing against the shore.
He hovered for a second. All he could hear was the sound of the wind and the birds nearby. He wasn't sure if Chris had stopped yelling or if he was just too far away to hear. All Wyatt could feel was the cool breeze and he couldn't help but feel excited as he flew around, miles above land.
He dived down again, this time even faster than before. He saw Chris waving below and waved back.
"Watch out," Wyatt yelled as he swooped down towards Chris. He flew right in front of him and heard Chris gasp in amazement and surprise.
Eventually Wyatt circled around and flew down towards the sand, this time landing, although not as smoothly as he would have liked to. He managed to keep his balance though and ended up running part way down the beach before coming to a stop.
He folded his wings up and walked slowly over to Chris, catching his breath.
"That was great!" Chris yelled. "You did it and it was so strange to see you up there like that. You got the hang of it quickly once you were well off the ground."
"Yeah, it just felt so normal," Wyatt said. "It was a bit odd though….just seeing everything so far below me and you looked so small!"
Chris laughed. "I'm guessing you enjoyed racing towards the ground."
Wyatt grinned. "It feels so…amazing. Just the rush from it – it's something you never think you'll experience."
"Well most of us won't," Chris said. "It's not everyday that people grow wings and take to the skies."
"Good point. Maybe I could show you though…see if I can fly and hold you at the same time, although it wouldn't be for long. I guess the next thing though is to learn what fight moves I can do while flying."
"Well, let's see. Try simple punching and kicking first," Chris said. "Try taking off from the sand this time rather than a rock. After all the rocks might not be there in the battle."
Wyatt nodded, ran a little and jumped in to the air, spreading out his wings as he jumped and just managing to stay up and not fall back to the ground.
He flew around for a few minutes and then went down lower. If he was going to do fight moves he wanted to be sure he wouldn't fall far if it went wrong.
He began flapping his wings, trying to stay in one place. It took him a few minutes, but he managed to stay roughly in the same spot. During a fight he knew he'd be flying around more, but to practice it was better to stay in one spot and try dodging and quick movements later.
First Wyatt tried a punch. He fell a little way, but regained his height and tried again. He'd have to get used to punching and still keeping his wings flapping. After a few tries he managed to punch fairly hard, although with no one being there he wasn't sure how much he would actually hurt a demon.
Next he tried kicking, which was surprisingly easier. He tried a few kicks and mastered it fairly well. Happy that he could do that he tried kicking and punching together. He then tried flying forwards, as if attacking someone, and then punching them and kicking them before shooting upwards as if dodging an attack.
After about hour he had learnt the best ways to attack while in the air and he had even tried using his powers a little, mainly realising how much the power of projection and explosive powers could help.
He flew back down to Chris who had been watching the whole show. He clapped as Wyatt walked up to him.
"Very impressive," Chris said. "A little more practice and you can so kick that demon's…"
"We'll see," Wyatt said, interrupting him. He laughed and Chris rolled his eyes.
"You are so like Grams at times," he muttered, causing Wyatt to laugh again.
"I'll see you in a minute," Wyatt said and orbed out. Chris started to protest, but was left alone in the middle of the beach. He sighed and sat down in the golden sand, letting it trickle through his fingers, while wondering where his brother had disappeared to.
