A.N. A warning to all of my readers, this may no longer be updated once a day as I turn more attention to working on its companion story: Bond Snapshots-Satoshi, because I am having a bit of trouble coming up with single words to write about. Rest assured though that I have not given up on this, there will be fifty chapters in the end, If you can send in prompt requests for things you would like to see it will probably kick my muse back in gear so please do so.


57:Gentle

Although anyone who looks at the sky on a clear day or night would expect the higher heights to be slow and gentle, I who fly there know that that is questionable. At times the high winds seem to support me tenderly if I only want to glide with the wind under my wings, but attempting to go against the wind or perpendicular to it shows that it is nothing but strong. It can be soft and uplifting, and then violent and screeching, seemingly trying to tear me apart as I let myself fall.

58: Thunderstorm

Even my best friend thought I was insane for enjoying flying in the heart of a thunderstorm. But how can I explain it, the thrill in storm flying to go lightning dodging is that there is always a risk, but you know where and when the lightning will flare and dodge instinctively. Flying in a thunderstorm I can drop all my barriers, all my masks that hide what I am and just let my power lose, confidant in the knowledge that there is no harm I can do here. When I spend time with Satoshi I can drop every mask but the control I hold over my magic can only be relaxed some, because I know that if I let go he would survive and reign me in. But I don't know what else would survive my magic as it goes wild. He has more barriers and masks than I do, although the only barrier he holds when we are alone is the same as the one I hold. This is why I try so hard to get him to fly a thunderstorm and outrace the lightning with me, I know that a chance to let go will be good for him in the long run. He doesn't need to be so tightly controlled all the time, it will just hurt him.
