“Thank you Ghyia.” says Cole before receiving his ritual goodbye hugs, “I feel it. We’re ready to create our destiny!”

Cole turns to Brody, “You have something for me?”

“Uh, yes I do. How’d you know?”

“Time and dimensions are confusing. No time for that now.”

Brody unwraps a cloth wrapping producing a bowstaff with a spiral design etched into it. “Here I made this for you while you were on your vision quest. If you twist it towards this end it ejects wings. Now you can fly!” says Brody.

“A bowstaff kite?! Now I’m a real air bender!” exclaims Cole.

Without hesitation Cole twists the staff causing it to eject wings and feet mounts. He does a running jump while simultaneously using the air to send him in the sky. He does it naturally as if he’d already done it a hundred times.

Brody is taken aback by this effortless feat, noticing Cole’s ability has increased exponentially. He launches into the air joining Cole in his first flight. For a brief moment they dance in the sky showing off their agility, celebrating their freedom. When they land back with the group Brody cries, “How did you do that?!”

“It was just like my flying dreams.” replies Cole with a satisfied grin.

Brody nudges Cole excitedly, “Before, you hardly had the fine motor control over your ability, and, well look at you! It’s effortless, polished! Have you done this before?”

“I didn’t have a kite, but I practiced something similar in the dream world. The kite just makes it that much easier for me.”

Cole motions for Justice to join them, “Brody, can you take Justice? We’re going to fly to the New Generation Pirates. It’s time.”
