Fate Of The Twelve (Completed)

Chapter 21: Visit

       "Anyway, let's go before someone finds out." She said and she went out the door as I shrugged and followed as I popped some candy into my mouth. Where is this girl going anyway in this late hour?

        "Ummmmm... Ryouta, mind if I ask you a favor? Can you accompany me somewhere?" she suddenly asked as she hopefully looked at me but I just raised an eyebrow. We were already a little bit far from the house so it's alright if we talk loudly.

       However, I'm sure that anyone who is awake at this hour had sensed that we left. It's just that they may have chose to not bother us about it. Besides, the city is surrounded by a barrier. They won't worry about us getting attacked by demons.

         "And I even planned to fly over the sky tonight." I sighed in surrender while her eyes sparkled.

        "Y-you can fly?" She asked me with a strange glint in her eyes and I immediately learned what that meant and it made me chuckle. This girl is definitely thirsting for adventure. Might as well give her that.

        "Yeah. C'mon, let's go already. We'll just drop by the place you want to go and then we're going back here alright? I'm a growing boy so I still need sleep." I jokingly said and she playfully punched my arm.

        "Yes!" She squealed in delight and took my hand just as I instructed while I smiled. She's like a kid.

      "But how can we fly? Do you have the element of wind-----Whooooaaaaa!" She shrieked in excitement and stared at the ground as we rose into the air.

       "I don't have the element of wind." I stated when we began flying upward and I can feel her looking at me questioningly.

       "If you don't have the element of wind then how? How are you able to fly at this rate?" She asked me as I stared at the ground which grew more and more distant. From here, I can already see the light coming from the house.

        Though human eyes may not see them because of the enchantment that Rex had set up around the house like a barrier, I can still see it from here.

       "I have wings." I said and she shouted "What?!" that I nearly retrieved my hand that she was holding just to cover my ears. Oooops, anyone awake from the house would have definitely have heard it.

       "You won't be able to see them just like me but believe me, they're there." I explained but it seemed that I only confused her more as she asked.

       "What does that mean? You're saying that you can't see them too?" She asked disbelievingly and I nodded as I began narrating things for her to understand.

        Ryouta began speaking, with that far away look in his eyes as I silently listened, all ears to his story. Invisible wings? He can't even see his own wings? That's just crazy!

        "It was a long time ago when I learnt about it. I was just ten back then when I was esc---running away from a hunt a friend." He began and I was sure he was about to say something else but he changed it. I didn't press on the matter though.

         I'm not one to pry. He'll just say it in the future, I guess? Besides, it sounds like a secret so I'll just have to patiently wait when he says it himself.

       "I was chased by predators and I found myself falling off a cliff and then booom, I can fly!" He said with a chuckle and I frowned. Weird story.

         "Does everyone in Azeroth have wings?" I curiously asked but he shook his head. I definitely heard a mighty flapping voice behind him. He really does have wings. How envying.
