It has now been one month since I turned 4 years old and I am back on my balcony staring at the stars again and listening to the wind as it still seems every night I do this to be calling to me. I still haven't asked my Earth father if he understands why the stars and the wind call to me. I just think he might think I'm crazy at what I'm feeling or he just might not understand it.
As I watch the beautiful stars and listen to the wind talking to me, I hear a sound reach my ears that I haven't heard in a month, it was one of those Seeker's thrusters that I met the night of my birthday. I turn around and smile softly as it is the larger of the pair who had visited me, I move closer to him and smile saying, "I'm glad you could come back. Where is your partner?"
Skyfire kneels down to get a better look at me and he says, "He couldn't come with me tonight as he was very busy, but I wasn't too busy so I was able to come and see you again tonight. I am sorry I never got your name. I am Skyfire." He offers his right pointer to me and looking at the size of his hands I can see why. I take his finger and shake it and say, "A pleasure to meet you Skyfire, I am Princess Akadeanna Hawk."
Skyfire tilts his head and says, "Akadeanna," he pauses and frowns and asks, "What does that mean?" I shrug and say, "It means Beautiful Flower." Skyfire smiles it appears to me he likes the meaning of my name and he asks, "Can I call you Little Flower instead?"
I tilt my head at his inquiry and ask, "Why?" Skyfire says, "Well Akadeanna just seems like a mouthful, that's why I asked you what it means." I chuckle softly at his words and I counter, "If I can call you SF for short for the same reason you want to call me Little Flower."
Skyfire lets out a gentle, but loud laugh and he says, "You've got a deal Little Flower. I heard your spark-day was the day we visited you," he pauses and rubs the back of his neck before continuing, "I'm sorry I'm not too familiar with what you call that day, spark-day is what we call the day we were brought into the world."
I tilt my head when I hear him say spark-day then I chuckle realizing what he meant and I say, "Oh we call it our birthday the day we are brought into the world or literally the day of our birth. That's an intriguing term spark-day." Skyfire smiles and says, "I like that term birthday. That makes sense what birthday means. I know it's a month late, but I have 2 presents for you." I am surprised that the large Seeker has 2 birthday presents for me, sure it's a month late, but I'm not complaining.
I ask, "What are they?" Skyfire produces a small flight suit that looks like it was just the right size for me and he hands it to me and he says, "This is the first, we call it a flight suit." I accept the suit and ask, "How do you know what size I take?" Skyfire chuckles and says, "While we were talking a month ago I took some scans from you and took it to one of our tailors and he made it for you."
I smile at his words and ask, "What's the other surprise?" Skyfire says, "Go put that on and you will see when you come back out." Ii nod at his words and go back into my room and change into the flight suit from my nightgown, but I ask, "Did you notice I had the crystal Red Light gave me made into a necklace?"
Skyfire is shocked at my words as I walk back out onto my balcony in my flight suit and he says, "Yes I did notice that. How'd you hear him called Red Light?" I laugh and say, "I heard your words to him before I came back out after placing the crystal in my jewelry box, so I heard you call him Red Light."
Skyfire laughs and says, "I didn't even know you heard me talking to him," he pauses and places his right hand down and says, "Climb onboard time for your second surprise." I am confused why he wants me to do that, but I do as he asks me to do and I settle onto his hand, which is hard to the touch, but still warm.
Skyfire moves his right hand up to his shoulder and says, "Now climb up onto my shoulder." I am still confused as what he's doing as my second surprise and I climb up onto his shoulder and settle down. He says, "You should see some cabling on my neck near where you are, hold onto one of them."
I nod at his words and take a hold gently of one of the cables and say, "I have hold of one." Skyfire says, "Ok." He stands up which makes me grip the cable tighter as I'm lifted into the air, surprised as he doesn't seem to react to my tighter grip. He then launches powerfully into the air and I close my eyes as the rush of air hits me.
5 minutes later the rush of air is gone and Skyfire says, "You can open your eyes now Little Flower." I open my sky blue eyes at his words and look around before asking, "Where am I?" Skyfire chuckles around me and says, "You're inside me in my disguise now. This is the second gift for you. I can't take you all the way up to the stars I can see you love so much, but I can take you close."
I am startled by Skyfire's words; he has taken me into the air as my second gift, now the flight suit is making complete sense. I smile and say, "I appreciate this SF; it's the best birthday present anyone has ever given me." Skyfire chuckles and says, "I'm glad this is the best present anyone has given you."
I look around at my home area, it looks so different from the air and I say, "It looks so different seeing Cairo from up here." Skyfire chuckles and says, "I can imagine it does. What does it feel like to you up here?" I tilt my head at his question and I say, "I feel free and truly at home; I am sorry if that sounds odd, but for as long as I can remember the stars and the wind have been calling me."
Skyfire is shocked at my words and he says, "That's not what I was expecting for you to say, but I've heard about something like that before from a half-breed who is human and Seeker and the Seeker form hasn't come out yet. We are wind-born so we can't stay on the ground too long as the wind calls us." I am shocked at his words and ask, "Do you think I might be a half-breed then? If so when do you think I will find out?"
Skyfire sighs and says, "It's quite a possibility that you are a half-breed hearing what you've said, if it's true you will learn either on your 6th birthday or at the most a week after your 6th birthday." I am shocked, but hearing his words it did make sense why the stars and wind call to me and why I feel so at home in the skies. I say, "So then by this time in 2 Earth years I will definitely know if I'm a half-breed or not."
Skyfire nods and says, "Yes by this time in 2 years you will know if you are a half-breed or not; if you are I know you are a Seeker like me and Red Light because of the stars and wind calling you." I smile and say, "I hope if I am a half-breed you are right that I am a Seeker."
