Blur
The air is hazy and the dust makes his eyes sting. He wishes they could fly, just to get above the dust, but flight is for nighttime only, unless it's certain that no one's likely to see them before they're high enough to look like birds. They are about due another flight anyway, or they risk magic overload, but the sky-longing is growing stronger more quickly than usual. They will probably go for their third flight of the month tonight; he can see Daisuke shifting restlessly and feel the other's racing thoughts that signify that his friend is also feeling the sky-longing. So tonight the stars will witness two figures blurring through the night in a game of airborne tag, as soon as they dare take off.
Now
So many years our clans have been feuding, it's hard to believe that now that is at an end. Even though Daisuke and I have the power to make that decision as the heirs to our clans, and we have done so. I know my clan was expecting me to die when they sent me to hunt Dark, after all Krad's Tamers don't live very long, but I realize now that that man (I can't make myself call him father) was supposed to make sure I died with Krad instead of letting me return and take the leadership that is my other birthright. No one wanted my line to keep ruling, but as we had the most magic they couldn't get rid of us either, but I am the only one left and if I had died the leadership would've fallen to whoever was the next strongest. They couldn't have killed me directly, after all I was going to hold Krad, but they could try to arrange for me to die after this generation's fight was over and Krad had left me, if I survived holding him that long.
