I move towards the starting line. Brushing my hair back as the wind blows vigorously, short strands rebelling from their previous position as they temporarily stabbing my eyes. I grunt, out of nervousness and annoyance, pulling the strands away from my face.

Then, I'm suddenly shoved to the side. I grunt again- this time out of annoyance only- as I catch my footing. I glance at the ironically petite girl in front of me. She gives me an unforgiving glare, "If you're not going to Fly, then get our the way." I puff my chest up and walk further down the line. I don't need her to further distract me.

A sharp whistle echoes across the cloud-plagued hills.

"Ready,"

"Set,"

"FLY!"

An uncanny amount of feathers plucked from their home, floating delicately amongst each other; an innumerable amount of colours melting like a sunset.

"Fly!" The referee screams and I feel the sweat multiplying along the slits of my palms; the nape of my neck. 

Focus.
Focus.                                     
Focus.                      
                                                          up.   
                                                and
                                          up
Then I'm moving up,

The bashing of wings surrounds me and everyone cheers, hoots and screams as I open my eyes to the array of colours. I smile with pride; and hidden away leaning against the lonesome tree, he sits watching me; he is holding a fist to the air with the Biggest. Smile. Ever.
