"No timer. I used to live up there, so I don't think I'll drop out of the sky anytime soon. And I'll make sure that you don't pancake, don't worry." Sky walked outside to the balcony, and gave pretty much no warning before suddenly a small platform of wind, moving fast enough to feel almost solid, formed underneath Nyota, lifting her around half a metres into the air. Rising to the same height as her, Sky tilted his head, and shot upwards, with her right next to him. In around half a minute, they'd broken through the clouds above them, and emerged into an almost different place altogether.

Clouds covered the space below them, going about as far as the human eye could see, with small spaces where the blue of the ocean was barely visible. That wasn't to say that it was completely peaceful, the wind was quite the opposite. Sky's hair was pressed back against his head, although he was used to this, but it was probably quite different for Nyota. The Air Spirits had also formed a small bubble around her, allowing the air pressure to equalise and stop her suffocating. However, it really didn't do much to stop the wind putting its full force on then.

"So? What do you think?" Sky enquired, spreading his arms. As he turned to look at her, the sudden realisation came to him that this was the first human that he'd shown something like this in about a thousand years, or really the first that he'd spoken openly to. Human communication was something he tried to avoid whenever possible, for numerous reasons

"Okey, I will hold you to that cause god help me you drop-" Nyota was unable to finish her sentence as she was sweeped off her feet and fell yet something... rising up? She had braced herself to land on the ground but instead of hitting the concrete she hit something solid and invisible. It was almost like... she landed on a plane of glass that didn't somehow break under her weight nor cast any sore of reflection to it.

"W-what the!!?" she gasped, part of her knew that this all part of Sky's magic but her dumb brain told that she was falling and that she should be panicking right now. As Sky rose to her level, she could only stare at him dumbfounded gaze. When she opened her mouth... she felt as if she was suddenly shot up in the air, like that one those elevator of death amusement park rides that jerk you up and down a few hundred feet in the air. But in her case, she just kept going up and up and up and oh god is there an end this madness! Was she screaming the entire way up? She can't even hear her own voice as she continued to be propelled higher into the air.

For what felt like an eternity for her... they at last broke through the clouds and slowly her speed ascent slowed to stop. She was left... exasperated, breathless from what felt like one continuous scream of pure terror followed up by the juxtaposition of in of the sea of clouds floating below her, crashing to each other like waves in a white fluffy ocean. Her breathing begins to relax, no longer was she trembling in fear of falling... here initial feelings of terror subside as they are overtaken by wonder and calm. To be so high up with nothing holding her back... the world below, the world that she knew felt so smaller than before. It was like... seeing earth from the view of the space station. She almost felt... changed from the experience... the feeling of being alive like she never knew. It was the one of those few times in her life where both parts of her, human and divine, had felt pure joy.

"Ha ha... haa haa.... HAA HAA HAHAHAHA! WhoooOOOO! THIS IS AWESOME!" loudly cheered Nyota, rising both her right arm and her left stump as high as she is able, laughing hysterically as she falls back to watch the sun and sky above. No matter how much she she tries to hold back, she continues to giggled uncontrollably as she watches above while tears of joy fall from her face.

"As I said, you haven't truely lived until you've been up here," Sky said, a grin on his face as he watched her reaction. Pushing his hand downwards, a pulse of wind shot down and came into contact with the clouds, pushing them away in a similar fashion to a drop of water in a calm lake. With the direct obstruction of the clouds below them gone, most of the island was now visible to the two up in the sky. "Trust me, you won't get this sort of view anywhere else. No flying machine can compare to this."

Okey... she was feeling a little woozy now that she saw how really high up she was from the ground but there was denying the view below was something. The view was only surpassed by the viewing window of the Starlight Observation Station, when she had a grand view of the planet itself. But this view... well it is the difference of looking at a painting and being in painting! No reinforced plexiglas separating her from the action!

"Y-yeah... I'll say. Okey... okey this has been a wonderful view but... I think I'm really to get my feet back on the ground. I... I feel just... overwhelmed being up here." laughed Nyota, she never had any fear of heights or sensation of vertigo before but seeing how up she really was... she felt like she was losing her grip on reality a little.

"Fair enough. I suppose it is your first time, so I can understand why you'd want to drop down. Anyway, let's get going," Sky replied, spinning himself until his body was pointed earthwards, and he suddenly shot down in an almost vertical dive, with Nyota right next to him. Whilst shooting down, his body instinctivly dissipating around halfway and then wrapped itself around the shell that he had created around her. And, of course, since she was plummeting at the same speed as he was- around a hundred mph, meaning they reached the balcony in about thirty seconds. Pulling the girl into the room and setting her down on the carpet, Sky promptly materialised next to her, brushing off the small droplets of moisture that had formed on his shirt on the way down.

"Ah... yes plleeEEAAASEEEEE!!!!!" screamed Nyota as she fell back to the ground. It was a wild ride coming back down and once she was back in the she felt her entire body with her arm and stump, checking to make sure that everything was still on her before sighing with relief. She wished Sky had the decency to at least warn her her but... once she got used it the fall wall was just as exhilarating as the accent up to the clouds.

With her legs still feeling like wet noodles from the ordeal, she stumbled over to the couch and collapsed upon the cushions. As much fun as it was being in the air... she was content loafing on the sofa at the moment, it was only as she laid that that she realized that her bun had come undone and her medium length hair now ran wild across her face. She had no idea how she looked, she expected herself looking as if went through a high powered blow-drier. Ah screw it... she had fun she she wasn't going to complain to Sky about it.

"Pheww... okey... ummm... don't mind me laying here... just... ummm... get settled in while I recover from all of that." murmured Nyota as she continued to spread out on the couch.

"Yeah, that's not a bad idea," Sky commented, slumping down next to her. Doing something which he hadn't done in a very long time, combined with the other stuff he'd done today, had really left him tired. "So... If it isn't too much of a personal question, I would quite like to know what happened to your arm," he asked, nodding to the stump of her left arm

Pallas · Oct 11, 2017

"Oh! Stumpy here?" inquired Nyota as she lifted what remained of her left arm as she continued to lay on the couch "Went a little crazy with my newfound powers and thought I was a reincarnated sun god. Terrorized the neighborhood before I accidentally blew off my arm. Next thing I remember... waiting up on Juvie island and had to go through months of therapy until they thought it was safe for me to attend the school here. So... yeah... a constant reminder of my biggest fuck up." answered Nyota, looking at the empty space where her left hand should have been before shrugging and letting the limb go limp.

"More or less the story of how it is ended up on this island." she added, then went silent.

"Huh... Well, I can't exactly say I've been much better. I mean, I built this thing, which was kinda horrible for spirits that I knew," Sky commented, pointing at his other arm. "I created a physical body, made of earthbound materials. And trust me, I hated it just as much as the others. Five hundred years of contact with the earth was enough to nearly break me. I'm lucky I have no sanity to loose in the first place. But, ironically, it's the thing that let me survive. You though, well... You must've just absorbed his body, gone crazy, then discovered you'd lost your arm... That can't have been nice."

Reclining on the thin air next to her, Sky asked "So, what is this world like exactly? I really haven't gotten a chance to ask. Have humans destroyed the atmosphere here too?"

Pallas · Oct 11, 2017

"Yeah... it all... all a fiery haze in my head thinking back on it. Last time I try any of my crazy Chinese medicines that is for sure... though credit to her it was the very thing that probably saved me from dying of cancer." commented Nyota, sitting herself up the seat and facing Sky

"This world... are you... not from this this planet? Or like... from a parallel universe? Well... to answer your question no but not for lack of trying." replied Nyota, then asking her own question in turn "You said you were lucky to not lose your... sanity?"
