The will to fly
Ged didn't understand what she meant. Because according to him. The enchanted gate was clearly at the front of the stone arcade of the courtyard. He saw it clearly. He led the Celestial through the arcade. Crossing untrampled snow in the front yard. After that. He recited the opening mantra. And he led her through the gate in the middle of the wall of spells.
As soon as they walked out the door. Enter the silver twilight outside the Iron Roneng Palace. Xi Rui changed. In the desolate light of the wilderness. Her appearance is still undiminished. But that beauty has the murderous air of a witch. Gedran recognized her: she was the daughter of the town lord of Reabeth. The daughter of a female Gu witch on Ousco Island. He had taunted him a long time ago in the green grass on the hill of Ojian's house. This prompted him to read the spell that unleashed the shadow.
But. Gede didn't have time to think about it. For now he has to be alert with all his attention. Look around for enemies. That is, the dark shadow waiting for him somewhere outside the spell wall. It may still be a corpse puppet. Dressed in the dead body of Schipwood; Or it could lurk in this boundless darkness. Waiting to catch Ged. Then merge his formlessness with Gede's flesh and blood. Gede feels like it's nearby. but you can't see it. Take a closer look. He saw a little black thing. Half-buried in the snow a few steps from the gate. He bent down and gently picked it up. That's Ou Tack. Thin short hairs are tangled in blood. The small body is in the hands of Gede. It looks thin, stiff, and cold.
"Fast deformation. Fast deformation. They're coming." Xi Rui shouted sharply. Grabbed Ged's arm violently. And pointed to the tower. Towers rise behind them. Like a giant white tooth in the twilight. In the crack of the window near the basement. A black animal is crawling out. Stretch long wings. Slowly agitate. hovering over the walls. Fly to Gede and Siri; And the two of them stood at the foot of the mountain. There is no barrier. A small voice heard earlier in the tower. It's slowly getting bigger. The ground trembled at their feet**.Anger welled up in the hearts of Ged. It was the boiling anger of hatred. Towards the dead creatures who cruelly deceived him, framed him, and hunted him down.
"Rapid deformation." Xi Rui screamed at him. He also inhales quickly to cast spells. Curled up into a gray seagull. Flew up. But Gotta bend over. Pluck a blade of weed from the dead snow of Outak. That handful of weeds protrudes from the ground. Both dry and fragile. Gede lifted the weeds. Recite a mantra to it. The weeds then lengthen and thicken. Wait for the mantra to finish. Ged held a large wand in his hand. The black drum-winged monsters of the Iron Roneng Palace flew towards him. When he was able to meet it with his cane. It didn't burn a red, deadly flame. Glows only white spell fire. Not scorching. but it drives away the darkness.
The monster is back to attack. Those clumsy monsters existed in the era before birds, dragons, or humans. Long forgotten by the sun. Now he has been summoned by the ancient evil power of the Ancient Stone. Monsters attack Ged. Pounce on him. Gede felt the monster's claws sweep around him. Their stench disgusted him. Gede violently waved a staff of light made of his own anger and a field of weed. Drive them away. Suddenly. The monster swooped up. Like a wild raven frightened by carrion. Silently flapping his wings. Turned around and flew in the direction where the seagull flew. Their huge wings seem to be slow. The flight speed is very fast. Every time you beat it. and all of them are pushing forward to the Lord. Not a single seagull has flown at such incredible speed.
Gede is like the old days when I was on the island of Jooke. Quickly turn himself into a big eagle: not the sparrowhawk as everyone calls him. It's a traveling eagle that can fly as fast as an arrow or a thought. He spread his sharp, muscular wings. Fly after the monsters that are chasing him. It's getting dark. Stars twinkle among the clouds. He looked ahead at a mess of black and oppressive beasts. All towards a point in mid-air. Not far from the black dot is the ocean. A gray glint of light was reflected in the last bit of daylight. The Briggriff was able to fly at speed towards the Primeval Stone Monsters. As soon as he flew into the herd of monsters. The monster was immediately like a pebble thrown from the pool. The water is scattered. But they've caught their prey: one of the monsters has blood hanging from the corner of its mouth. The other has white feathers in its paws. On the vast sea. Not a single fishergull was seen flying by.
The monster turned to Gede again. Ugly with an iron mouth open and swooping down. At one point, the brigade eagle Gede hovered over them. Provoke your inner anger with the sharp cry of an eagle. Then fly over the low flat beaches of Ousco Island. Climb above the ocean waves.
The primeval stone monster screamed hoarsely. After hovering in place for a moment. One by one, they turned back into the field. The Primoris has long been tied to a cave, a rock, or a spring on every island. It never goes across the sea. So. The black beasts are all back in the tower. Lord Bandex might weep or laugh at their return. But Gede continued to fly. Flapping the wings of a falcon. Drum up the wrath of the falcon. Like an arrow that never falls. It's like a thought that you won't forget. Flying over the Ou Si Kehai. Fly east into the east wind and night.
Ogian the Silent is late this year returning home to the town of Reawhite. As the years go by. He became more silent than ever. It's also more content with loneliness. The new lord of Bow Island in the castle below once made a special trip to the "Falcon's Nest" to ask Master Ojian for advice. In order to successfully travel to the Android Islands for a plundering adventure. But not a word was given. O'Gian, who speaks to the spider in the middle and greets the trees politely. Silent on the visiting islanders. In the end, the owner of the island had to leave in a huff. Ojian may also be a little unhappy or uneasy in his heart. Because throughout the summer and autumn. He was alone in the mountains for a tour. Until now, the day is approaching. Only then did I return home to the fireside.
The next day after returning home. He wakes up late. Want to drink Lin rush herbal tea. And he walked out of the house. It's a short walk down the hill. Fetch water from a mountain spring. The water of the mountain spring forms a small pond. The edges are frozen. Frost flowers outline the shape of the dry moss between the rocks.
It's daylight. But the sun couldn't shine on the huge shoulder of the mountain for an hour. Because the entire western part of the island of Bow is in the morning of winter. From the seaside to the top of the mountain. They don't get the sun. It's just a quiet and sunny day. The mage stood by the spring. When looking at the downhill mountains, the harbor, and the sea in the distance. Hear the sound of wings flapping overhead. He looked up. Raise one arm slightly. A big eagle flew down and stopped on his wrist. Eagles are like well-trained birds of game. Attached to his wrist. There is no chain. There are no belts or bells either. Its claws gripped Ogian's wrist. The striped wings trembled. The round golden eyes are sluggish, but the wildness is still there.
"You are a messenger. Or the information itself." Ojian asked the eagle gently. Come with me--" He spoke as he spoke. The eagle stared at him. Ogian was silent for a moment. I guess. I used to name you." Talking. He strode home.
Entered the house. The eagle is still on the wrist. Then. He lowered the eagle into the heat above the hearth. Let it stand well. Then feed it water to drink. The eagle won't drink. Eugian then began to cast the spell. He was very quiet. Weaving magic is done with both hands more than incantations. and so that the spell is fully made. He didn't look at the falcon on the hearth. He just whispered, "Gede." Waited for a while. He turned his head and got up. Walk towards standing in front of the fire and shivering. Young man with dull eyes.
Gede is dressed in a gorgeous fancy dress. Made of fur with silk and silver. It's just that the clothes are torn. And it's stiffened by sea salt. He was haggard and hunchbacked. Hair hanging next to a scarred face.
Ogian removed the rich, mud-stained cloak. Take him to the alcove where this apprentice once slept. Let him lie down on a straw bed. Whispered a sleep mantra. He didn't say a word to Geder. Because he knew that Gede couldn't speak human language at this time.
Ojian as a child. Like most boys. He once believed that he could use his spell skills to change his body shape at will. or man or beast. Or trees or clouds. So play a thousand identities. It must be a very fun game. After becoming a wizard. He learned the cost of this kind of game. It's about losing oneself and turning away from the truth. The longer a person stays in a deformation that is not the original form. The greater the danger of these. Every apprentice warlock knows the story of the wizard of Wai Bao Ji: the wizard loved to take on the form of a bear. After the number of transformations has increased and the time has passed. The bear grew up on him. but he himself died. So he turned into a bear. He also killed his own son in the forest. Later, he was hunted down and killed. Nobody knows. Hop in the inner polar sea with numerous dolphins. How many are originally human. For they are wise men; It's just frolicking in the never-ending sea. Happy to forget their wisdom and names .
Extreme grief and anger are intense. before it becomes an eagle. He flew all the way from Ousco to the island of Bowte. There was only one thought in my mind: it was to fly away from the Ancient Stone and the Black Shadow. Escape those dangerously cold islands. Back to the mound. The fury and wildness of the falcon eagle. It was like his own anger and wildness. and it will be completely his; He wants to fly with the will. It also became the will of Hayabusa. That's how Ged flew over Yingrad Island. Drink water in a lonely forest pool. And immediately he flapped his wings and flew away. Because I'm afraid of the dark shadow chasing after me. That's it. He crossed a wide sea channel. It was called "Yingrad's Jaw" and continued to fly southeast. To his right is the distant mountains of Orenia. On the left is the more distant Andran Island mountain range. There is only the ocean ahead. Fly to the end. Only then did he see a wave of unchanging waves standing out from the rough waves. Stand tall in front of you. That's the white top of the Bow Mountain. This big flight day and night. He is equivalent to wearing the wings of a falcon. He also sees the heavens and the earth through the eyes of the falcon. Eventually, he forgot what he had known. Only the thoughts that Hayabusa knows: hunger, wind, flight path.
He flew to the right port. To restore him to human form. There are a few people in Jok who can do it. And on the island of Bow there is only one person.
