A hazy sky shuffled above, blinding the light of the moon. A small Cloudweaver sat in the serene darkness, eyes fixed onto the twinkling stars as vivid imaginations flashed through her mind. What would it be like to hold a star?
Taking a deep breath she shuffled to the edge of the cliff, where the land fell away into open space.The peaceful night was gone, interrupted by the sudden memory of something she had tried to forget, and in less than a minute she was filled with anxiety, thrown into the past.
“C’mon! It’ll be okay!” The sweet encouragement of my sibling made me nod my head, though I was terrified. I wanted to be brave.
Charging forward, my paws carried me over the uneven terrain, towards the edge of the cliff that held a murky river at the bottom should I fail. I opened my wings, and with a small battle cry, launched myself upwards.
For a whole minute, time seemed to stop. My thoughts blanked.
“Fly, Navi!” I heard the panicked shriek from above me, but I couldn’t make myself move, I was petrified with terror. The water below me was rushing closer and closer, and I couldn’t help but imagine what would happen.
And then it hit.
I was plunged into the icy water, my head spinning. And then it was over, I could move again. Lurching towards the surface I broke through, gasping for air.
In less than a minute, the memory had passed, though the Cloudweaver was left gasping, as if everything had happened all over again. Slowly she backed away, focusing her attention back to where her siblings lay, asleep. With one last look behind her, she curled up next to her family.
“Goodnight.” She whispered.
And she dreamed of flying.
