Exhilaration
There was an exhilaration that came with the knowledge that they were close enough to taste their freedom.
She had returned her grandmother's necklace to The Nameless and in doing so won them a chance at a home. She had crossed through worlds to find him and together they had bested Yubaba's maze and traveled to the home of the River god, healing Kohaku's curse and completing his own task in return.
All that was left was for her dragon to prove himself to The Cove, and win the lake for his own. After that they could have their happily ever after, and the idea of it was intoxicating.

They had this moment, this single moment, to enjoy the fact that life had thrown them together. And they would find a way.
Out of what could have been to her knowledge thin air, Chihiro was swept off her feet and into the arm's of her dragon as he took off into the air on a westward current, letting the swirling of the wind carry them through the sky.
