I'm flying!

“This is not what you think. Listen to me first. We Synnefa, we came to help you guys.”

“Lying! They also told us that. You are all the same!”

“Please your mind,” I said as I approached her slowly. “True, we are both earth creatures, but our intentions are different. Believe..”

“Do not approach!” exclaiming the figure then removed the bowstring that had been pulled tight by the arrow, pointing right at my face.

“Malka!” lontar Leora immediately ran to protect me. I closed both my eyes. “Leora!” alya shouted in surprise.

“Tik!”

I opened my eyes, the arrow was lying on the ground. I don't know what's been going on. The figure's face fell silent in shock at Leora. “We are not your enemy! How long do you not trust us?” lontar Leora sniffled. I could see her tears clearly.

“S—Who are you really.?” ask that figure to Leora.

“I am a human being, an earth creature like the two of them!”

The figure also lowered the bow from his aim. He approached Leora. Me and Alya could only be silent looking at her.

“No... You are different..” said the figure. I had doubts about her getting closer to Leora.

“What do you want to do?” my many. He knelt down and surprised me. “I'm sorry, I thought you guys would destroy our residence..”

I was silent for a moment, not expecting that he would actually accept us. “K—We are too, sorry to have made you anxious,” reply I smiled at him. Then Alya came to us. “What did you see on Leora?” alya asked curiously.

“Come on.. I feel like he's no stranger to me..”.

Leora wiped her wet cheeks while downing her nose and then replied, “T—But I have never been here before.” The figure then fell silent in wonder, , so did I who did not know the meaning of all this.

“Oh no! I almost forgot! I have to bring this hunted animal as soon as possible.”

“What will you do with the animal?” ask her.

“Of course for dinner later.”

“Wait, that means you are not alone—” I continued just realized, but the figure immediately cut my words.

“Of course, I live in a village not far from here.”

“Isn't the night long? Now it's just about noon,” says Leora.

“Then? Do I have to wait for the night here?”

“B—Not that I mean! Eee... Do you have no busy after this?” continued Leora. “Today I was only assigned to hunt. Maybe I want to continue archery,” replied the figure.

“Can we come?” pinta Leora is hopeful.

“Wait, Leora—”. I think we've gone too far, surely the other friends are worried about us, that's what I want to say, but Leora immediately interrupted me with enthusiasm.

“For this time only. We also have to know them, right?” reply Leora. I breathe hearing it.

“Huft... How about you, Alya—”

His face looked impatient just like Leora. His eyes were glaring at me.

“B—Good. Let us come with you.” I continued to the figure, he smiled then he turned away like he wanted to leave.

“Your cloak is glowing!” lontar Leora was amazed.

“Of course,” replies to the figure, then he crashes, leaving without a footpath, he actually flies. “Wah! You can fly!” exclaim Alya.

“Come follow me!”

We ran after him who flew past the branches of the trees. Often he circled and danced like a circus. I was so amused to see it. Though he was carrying the hunted animal on his back.

“Coolly!” Leora amazement.

“True once! You guys must have felt it the first time,— Eh? You guys running?”

“Iya, we don't know how to fly yet,” reply. The figure landed, we ran up to him. “Why didn't you say from earlier?” ask that figure.

“I forgot to see you flying so amazing! Wait— indeed we can also fly?” reply Leora.

“Of course you can. The robe you wear is useful indeed to fly.”

“Really? Oh, means all this time..” continued Leora.

“Is this robe not removable at all?” my many.

“Can, you just take it off like this.” The figure jumped up then spun in the air, the robe turned into light then disappeared.

“How can it?” reply surprised. I try to imitate his movements. But nothing happened. Alya laughed at my jumping and circling behavior. “You're like a child.”

“It doesn't work, you better try it too than laugh like that.”

“Hahaha... Alright, I'll try.”.

Alya did the same as me, apparently nothing happened to her robe. He repeated it a few times.

“Until any time will not work.” murmured the figure.

“What is wrong from our way?” ask Alya.

“Hmm... How do I teach you how to fly and take off that robe?”

“I want to fly!” lontar Leora's.

“Are you in a hurry?” my many.

“Not really, it shouldn't take long to learn it.”

“Our fingers, Mr Teacher!” Leora is already in flames.

“So what did you say?” ask that figure.

“B—Nothing!” lontarku surprised.

“There is a lot of energy around us. To be able to fly, you must be able to feel the presence of that energy.”

“How to feel it?” ask Leora.

“Everyone has their own picture. My way may be different to your way,” replied the figure.

“What are you like?” alya.

“Eee... Maybe like the wind? Every time I feel it my body feels cool, like something is flowing all over me.”

I closed my eyes, reflecting the light blue light flowing around me. It was the same as what I used to see on earth. I took a breath, as if drawing that energy into me.

“Your cloak shines, Malka!” lontar Leora was shocked. I opened my eyes, but it didn't look like what Leora saw. “My cloak is mediocre,” I said.

“Really! That robe was really brightly lit!”

The figure applauded, “You can do it,” he told me.

“Try again, Mal,” said Alya. “But keep your eyes open, you can still imagine it without having to close your eyes,” continued the figure.

I try to do what that figure says. My eyes opened, imagining it. “I can see it... I saw it!” decakku happy. “What do you see?” ask Leora. I approached the two of them, then clasped their hands.

“You can definitely do it! It is the same as we see on earth!”

“Really?” Alya surprised.

They both imagined something similar with me. Sure enough, their robes gave off a bright light. The figure could only be silent in wonder.

“What do you mean it's the same shape as on earth?” ask that figure.

“Ah! Eee... How do I explain it..” I'm confused by a grinning face.

“You use this energy for your world?” continued.

“That's all the human beings who are attacking your residence now,” my reply assured him.

“What it looks like!” The figure's eyes were beaming. I was surprised to see him like that. “Eh? Don't you know it?” my many.

“No, I can only feel it. That too I have had to learn it many years since I was a child.” Then I explained what we saw from that energy.

“You call it sky energy?”

“Iya, energy from where you live,” I replied.

“What should we do after being able to feel that energy?” ask Leora who can't wait to fly.

“Easy only. If the robe is already glowing, you just do like a man who wants to fly,” obviously figure it.

I tried it, I took a swing like I wanted to jump, then I jumped while throwing the robe, I immediately threw into the air, I floated real though not too high, “I flew!” Finally the three of us were able to fly, but not for a while, we immediately returned to the ground.

“Just a few seconds?” ask Leora.

“Maybe you guys are not used to it,” replied the figure, “That's pretty good. Most importantly, don't let you force it.”

“Now how to remove this cloak?” ask Alya.

“Same as you guys did earlier. Make the robe glow and then jump and spin. It's also the same if you want to use it again.”

“But we can't see the robe glowing, it's gone.” reply Leora.

“Just imagine that energy going into your body.”

“Oh, so we have to use that energy to interact with the robe?” my many.

“Yap! Absolutely right!”

“Grrwhwhh!”

There was a rumbling sound, as soon as Leora's face turned red. “Sorry, I haven't eaten today.”.

“Oh yes! We forgot breakfast!” sahutku.

“Then, we all join hands,” said the figure, “I will take you to my village.”

“Wah! Sky creature village—” lontar Leora, “Eh! M—I mean..”.

The figure smiled hearing him then replied, “Luceyl.”

“My name is Leora!”

“I'm Alya!”

“Malka!”

“Alright, Leora, Alya, Malka, hold on strong!”

“One...”

“Two..”.

“Three!”

Our footprints slipped off, through the shade of the forest, and I never thought he was inviting us to fly together. My robe was flapping without me noticing. All the great views from above.

“I'm flying!”
