Part 5: Journey
Kai looked at his mother, both excited and nervous. The pair met up with Rhazi. "There you two are, where were you?" He asked worry evident in his voice. "This rascal gave me the slip and ran into a bully, everything's fine though." Karill stated simply, "however it is now time to teach him to fly." Rhazi nodded in agreement and they went to a really tall tree nearby.
His parents then proceeded to teach him how to take off from any angle, even upside down, and how to flap his wings, move higher, lower, and most importantly, landing. After a few attempts he finally got it down, smiling and jumping around in excitement, he ran to his parents and hugged them. "Thank you!' He'd exclaimed, he looked younger than he was like this but he didn't care, he was too excited. "Settle now, you'll want to settle for the long flight ahead, we won't be able to stop anywhere for nearly as soon as we did, luckily the chiefs messenger is a speedy thing, what'd take us a day or two to reach would take him only a few hours to half a day." Rhazi explained. "Think you can handle flying for that long?"
"I could, possibly." Kai replied with uncertainty, he wasn't sure as he'd never really flown on his own, considering he only learned just now, but he was willing to try. He smiled happily. They ate the food Jara offered so they wouldn't be flying hungry, he also gave them a proper straw basket with some provisions in case they couldn't find any food on whatever breaks they may have during their journey to the castle.
With that and a warm goodbye, the trio took flight. The warm sun feeling very good on the parent's scales and Kai's fur. They traveled till dusk, slept at a village before taking off again.
After a long time they finally reached the gorgeous castle, the outer walls were made up of diamond and marble, each pillar of the outer walls held a different very large crystal or gem, Kai presumed they were to represent each and every element, the gates were of steel, the material to raise and raise the gates were steel chains. The castle was made up of a multitude of strong materials that not only made it look grand and beautiful but also made it very sturdy and tought to break through.
Rhazi, Karill and Kai landed at the gates to be let in as to ensure they didn't seem like any sort of threat. "I suppose you three are the ones seeking audience with the royal family?" One of the guards asked. "Yes." Rhazi stated simply. The guard analyzed the trio for a second before speaking, "alright, come on in." The guard had the gates opened for the trio to enter. A group of guards escorted them to the main castle, all this left Kai heavily nervous as he took one very shaky step after another, following his parents. "Welcome newcomers, I am princess Moon." Came a voice from between the two thrones, Kai could almost instantly sense a single pair of eyes on him, making him stop glancing around the room and looking towards where he sensed it from. His breath hitched the second they locked eyes.
