This chapter was inspirited by Owl City's song To the sky and by TheJunebug1218's advice. Thanks.

When my feet came off the wall and I flapped my wings. And when I caught the wind, it felt like I was in a dream. I bid my goodbyes to the ground. Up, up in the sky I flew.

Kilgharrah! Aithusa! I roared.

Aithusa stormed toward me, and circled around me happily and playful. Kilgharrah settled farther above me.

Merlin, to the south, use the tail, spread your wings more. Do not forget why you're here. Hurry Merlin.

I just wanted to forget everything else and just concentrate on flying. There was a dreamy world, unknown to me. How I hoped that the wind would bear me far away. Like light traveling from so far away. But I followed Kilgharrah to the south.

Your eyes are so golden Merlin. They are so bright. Aithusa roared to me.

I laughed. I can feel it how these wings can take me so high. Where ever I want to go. Up, up there where the stars are all around me.

Please, chase your dreams later Merlin. Remember always, this is a stormy world up here. You must be careful.

I sighed. We flew far above the trees. The land beneath us was just waking up from its slumber. But now I found that the air was what I longed for most. A sense of freedom. I knew that I had to return to the ground, but I also knew that when the time came, I would find myself in the sky flying towards the unknown.

Far on the horizon, I saw a twilight silhouette. The Fisher King's castle. My fortress. I started to curve downward with Aithusa. Kilgharrah headed to my other side.

Use your wings. Aithusa advised quickly and went on before me toward the wall, showing by example. The take-off was easy, but landing on a small area, and I'm not a small dragon, was much more difficult. I almost flew over the wall when my claws hit the stones. I swayed and almost plummeted downward. I heard Aithusa laugh. I flashed my teeth warningly to her. She just laughed more.

Stop that and change back. You have to hurry. Kilgharrah's scolding sound reached me.

I focused. The change was much easier now. I missed-my dragon form. I missed the sky and the wind.

Will we fly together again soon? Aithusa rejoiced.

I smiled at him. "Sure."

Aithusa. Kilgharrah warned the youngling. I looked at the compass in my hand. I quickly thought the spell in my mind and I cast it.

I was forced to wait. I hoped fervently that the call would work. I was not sure how deep the cave was. But my fears were in vain. For a moment, the air shimmered in front of me and then Bartimeus appeared in front of me putting out the compass's box for me.

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

"I did."

Bartimeus received the compass and a closed the box.

"And apparently Bran also found what he was looking for."

"I believe so." I hadn't time with Bran to talk before I left. Bartimeus nodded with satisfaction. "Someday, we need to talk more."

"I hope so." I admitted.

"Goodbye my lord." And he was gone again.

Aithusa spun around me. "What now?" His hissing voice inquired. I looked around the castle ruins. There was a lot to do. And I didn't know where to start. Or what exactly I was going to do. There was Arthur and others waiting. I wanted to thank Bran. Somewhere in these Perilous Lands were people, humans and others. And there was still my destiny. I sighed deeply. A lot of work to do, but so it must be. I can't avoid this all even if I want.

Aithusa waited for me to answer. I pet her head.

"Now, we make plans. And then, we'll fly again."

This was fun to wrote. Really. I liked this so much. Originally this was supposed to be only oneshot. And now…

I feel bad because last time I got really really much alerts and now this was the last chapter. So sorry. But because I have promised to write sequel to my other story Future to remember, I leave this behind for a while.

My thanks to TheJunebug1218 (please, read her stories too) and to those who always bother to give feedback and who have also followed my other stories in general. You really make my day better.
