Why was I pushed of a cliff you ask? Its a long story, lets start from the beginning shall we? "Its 4 already?! I'm pretty sure I woke up at 8! We were down there that long?!" The stranger starts laughing. "Looks like we really enjoyed ourselves!" She streches herself out letting me get a good view of her breasts to tease me."You wouldn't happen to have a place where I can wash up do you?" Her teasing worked I was clearly distracted. "Ah um uh..." I shake my head to clear my thoughts. "Y-Yes! Theres a bath next to here and a shower in the basement!" She claps her hands together "Excellent! I'll take the bath!" While she was in the bath I cleaned up my room, got some clothes and headed to the shower. I passed the bathroom and saw her cleaning her legs, she notices me standing there and winks. Hehe I can't think of a good enough lie at the moment so I guess I'll tell the truth; I freaked out and crashed into my closet door, then ran to the shower. I am such a klutz but I could hear her laughing so I must me doing something right...right? When I was done I came up and found she was done as well, waiting for me. "Are you ready?" She asks. "Ready for what?" Boy would I regret asking that question. "To awaken your powers" She sticks out her arm. "Grab on and whatever you do don't let go" I did as I was told and was suddenly surrounded by feathers , when I blinked the white from my eyes I realized we were on a mountain. "Where are we?" "We are at what you formerly called the rocky mountains" She said "We're here so you can get your wings without putting you in extreme danger." Heres where I start to panic. "Danger? What am I going to have to do?" She sits down "You'll find out soon enough, but first I still have much to explain to you." Depite my panic I sit down and grin. "You mean before our little interruption?" She smiles at the comment. "Yes starting with why all this is happening, it starts like this." Long ago the world was once ruled by angels and demons. The demons ruled the underworld and the angels ruled the overworld, at one point the demons and the fallen got greedy with power and wanted the rest of the world. War soon broke out between the two races which caused large casualties for both, in the end the world was shattered and was dying. Legends say our prince sacraficed himself to save it and both sides were banished for a new race to bring it back, we would be able to return if the world was failing again. Legends say our prince would be reborn as a red and blue fox and lights rained down on the earth when the time came. "To tell the truth I never imagined we would be transformed like this or that the legend was even true, moving on." The legend states that people touched by these beams of light would become the chosen to save the world, you and some of your friends turned out to be one of them, the reason we were able to find you was from so many of the lights converging in one spot, the rest were too fast for the naked eye to see. The rest of the legend states that the prince would rise with a group who have been chosen by the light to save the world. There is one problem though, the chosen could be intercepted and tainted to work for the demons. My job is to help you on your quest to find the chosen, and to awaken some of your powers. "Did you get all of that?" To tell you the truth it all seemed unreal and yet everything she said has happened so far. "I-I think so..." "Excellent!" She suddenly gets and pulls me up with her. "Now its time to get your wings!" She starts dragging me close to a cliff, I look down and panic returns. Did I forget to mention I'm afraid of heights? "W-What do I have to do?" She smiles "Its easy! All you have to do is find your light!" I tried to stall. "F-find my light? H-How do I do that?!" "Just think of what matters most to you and what you would do to protect it. Now off you go!" She pushes me off the cliff to my doom. Of course I screamed nonstop, who wouldn't if they were falling to their death? And closed my eyes, prepared for the worst. A monotone voice rang through my head. \*What you're going to give up just like that?\* "How am I supposed to think while I fall to my death!" \*Its a test of pressure and you're failing it, concentrate Septimus! Otherwise the world will die! Your friends will die!\* My eyes snappend open after that last sentence, I knew what mattered most, I want to give the people of this world a second chance, I would protect them with all my strength! I closed my eyes again and started to concentrate, I knew the ground would come any second and prepared for the inevitable splat. But it never came...I opened my eyes to see I was hovering a good distance above ground...and that my shirt was missing. Before I could ask myself why my mate flies down to me. And I was filled with anger. "Can you tell me why the hell I had to be pushed off a cliff!!" She winces a little at my statement "Please calm down. It was the only way to get them to sprout. Think of it like this: how a mother bird pushes her babies out of the nest. If they fly they live, if they don't? Well you know what happens." She continues. "Its basically a test of pressure and how strong your will to live is." She starts to pout "I'm really sorry! Is there someway I can make it up to you?" I wanted to be angry with her, but how could I with her pouting at me? You look at it and try to say no, its very hard! "Ok you owe me two things...1st is you know my name but I haven't had the pleasure of knowing yours. 2nd is why has my shirt disappeared?" The first question surprised her. "I'm sorry! I got so caught up with all this that I completely forgot to tell you! My name is Svete, as for the shirt the rate at which the wings appear causes so much friction that it causes clothing on the upper body to instintaniously combust." Well that explains why she doesn't wear a shirt but why does she go completely naked? \*Shrugs\* Oh well doesn't affect me one bit! I win either way and so does she! "Svete what a beautiful name! So what is next on the agenda?" I grin as her face turns a bright shade of red. "T-Thank you! \*Ahem\* Well the next thing we have to do is track down your friends who have been chosen which will be easy since you are kind of like a dowsing rod in a way to find them." She was right once again I was, three of my friends were chosen. "Ok I know exactly who they are but lets stop by my house first." We were wrapped in feathers and teleported to my house. Soon after that everything started to go down the drain.
