Sage's POV

We were off to somewhere, where I have no clue, to see what I could do.

Everyone here could do something special except for me as far as I knew.

We flew about seventy miles north, then twenty-five east.

"Ok, we're gonna start with the basics. Like, fighting for example."

Immediately, Max tried to drop kick me which made the adrenaline run.

I took a hard swing at her side and managed to catch her, sending air out of her lungs.

Then I did an aerial flip backwards to dodge the uppercut she threw at me, but miscalculating where she would've hit.

Max caught my jaw, and I could taste the blood.

"Well, you are a skilled fighter, but if that were your special skill you'd never have gotten hit."

Ok then.

It must've been, oh, three hours and still nothing.

"Well, we can't spend all day here. Let's go guys," said Max.

I sighed.

"Its gonna be ok, and I promise you that you'll find your skill. None of us have ever found ours on the spot like that. I'm not sure why Max would think yours would," it was Iggy, trying to make me feel better after being humiliated.

He took my hand and lifted off the ground. I began to spread my white, silver and turquoise wings, and then took to the air.

How could I honestly call myself a true bird kid?

Iggy's POV

How could she? Max knew that skills didn't come that easy. Maybe she wanted to see if Sage already had one, but probably not.

If she did Sage wouldn't know.

I flew in the air holding her hand. I was planning to tell her tonight.

Since Sage didn't say anything, I decided to break the silence.

"What color are your wings?"

"Oh, um they're mostly white, with silvery-turquoise tips, at least, the primaries are. The secondary ones are completely silvery and turquoise."

My gosh she only got prettier.

"They sound, beautiful,"

I sounded nervous, kind of not confident in myself.

She giggled.

"Well, thanks Iggy. You're really sweet."

Maybe tonight would go better than I expected.
