Chapter 9 Tingle
Yarne pointed at the Pegasus and then turned to Morgan. "So you want me to…"
"Get on him." Morgan finished, nodding.
"Why?" Yarne asked the question slowly as if he could buy more time to think of a way to escape.
"You did say you wanted to know how it felt to fly." Nah pointed out. Yarne glanced at the Manakete and laughed nervously.
"I'm pretty sure that's a mistake. You don't understand, rabbits don't fly, not well anyways." He carefully peered over the tall cliff.
"If they get on a Pegasus they will." Morgan smiled widely. Yarne swallowed hard, feeling his body shake. "Oh don't be so scared, he wouldn't hurt you." He smiled petting the winged horse's mane. The stallion pawed the ground and looked at him.
"I'm not saying that he would hurt me," Yarne gulped again, "I'm just worried that… you know… I'll fall off and die."
"Nonsense!" Morgan laughed, "Come on, I'll be right there with you."
"I don't know if I want to do this." Yarne backed away slowly but before he was safely away from the cliff there was a brilliant flash of light. And one second his feet were firmly on the ground and the next they weren't.
Yarne screamed looking down below at the deep valley. His feet cycled in the air as if he could somehow find some footing. This was it, this was going to be it, Nah was going to let him go and he would be falling to his death in no time. He gulped, feeling a knot in his chest tighten.
"Gods, Nah, put me down!" Yarne shouted. His voice shook with fear. He could feel tingling in his feet, as he continued to try and find some kind of air ground that he knew did not exist.
"Oh you big baby, you'll be fine, just don't look down." Nah chuckled.
That was the thing. Yarne couldn't stop looking down at the vast valley that was carved between two mountains. He could see a small river snaking through the trees and though he knew he should be marveling at the sight, he could feel nothing but his shaking body. The constant tingling in his feet – he always knew he wasn't meant for flight.
"Put me down!"
Nah chuckled and lowered him onto the Pegasus before dropping him onto the horse. Yarne took no time, once his feet touched the back of the horse to scramble towards Morgan. His arms instantly wrapped tightly around him. His eyes squeezed tightly together.
"I don't want to go extinct. I don't want to go extinct."
"Yarne!" Morgan's voice was hoarse. "I – can't… breathe."
"How do you think I feel?" Yarne exclaimed. "I told you rabbits don't fly well!"
"Oh come on, look up, feel the wind!" He heard Nah's voice beside them.
Yarne let one eye open before the second. The Manakete's wings were outstretched catching the wind beneath them. And the feathers on the Pegasus rippled as they glided through the air. He, very slowly, loosened his grip on Morgan before he looked around.
The air whipped his ears back, as the swooped close to the mountains. Maybe he could get used to this. He felt a smile slide onto his face before they rocked back which sent Yarne right back into defense mode.
"Oops, watch for the turbulence." Morgan chuckled, his voice gasping for air again.
"Turbulence?" Yarne shouted feeling himself shake harder than ever. "Put me down! Now!"
