The carriage sped down the hill while i put my steering skills to the test. Dodging people and other carriages as I got ever closer to the gate. The carraige's wheels started vibrating and the whole thing started to shake as we gained speed. I had no choice but to do something stupid and hope the carraige holds together. Channeling lots of red and blue mana under the carriage until i couldnt summon any more. I was scraping and hitting a lot more carriages since most of my attention was on manipulating the mana. I kept coiling it tighter and tighter like a spring and got it ready because the gate was almost right in front of me.

The guards on station at the gate were freaking out shouting at me to stop and trying to get out of the way. There were people around the gate looking in to see what was going on, but they started running as soon as they saw what was coming. The gate was coming up fast and I had the mana spring ready, I was just waiting for the right moment to release it. Hopefully this will launch me right over the gate and if im lucky ill fly over the outer wall too.

Its time, either I do it now or ill never get this thing out of here.

I released the mana and braced myself, the mana shot down and launched the carriage high into the air. Higher than the tallest building in the city. I was tired from the heavy usage of mana but I didnt want to die so I created wings out of mana to stabilize my flight. I wanted to try and make them flap, but when i tried I got a horrible headache. So i gave up and just used them to glide. The carriage parking area was very close to the outerwall so it didnt take me long to glide over it. I could see some people below me looking up at the mysterious flying carriage, either pointing with their mouths open or trying to figure out how someone could afford such a wonderful flying carriage. I even saw some nobles looking at the carriage greedily and telling their servants to find out where to get one of their own.

I laughed cause this was the most fun I have ever had stealing something and im flying a carraige! That has never been done before in any kingdom ive heard of. It was exhilerating flying over everything, the wind felt great on my face and neck. I had long passed over the outer gates and was looking for the hill I told Malady and Vylet about. I was so high up I found it in a matter of minutes and I angled the wings to start my descent. I wish i had more practice with my mana manipulation, then I could do this all the time. When I was a slave I heard some of the guards mention the elves special ability to directly manipulate mana and that some elves were so good at it that they could use mana continuosly and not be affected by it. These elves had the ability to destroy entire continents, but they were really rare and most of them were killed in the war between elves and humans.

If I had practiced more this would be nothing and It would be easy to use lots of mana. The more mana you use daily, the easier it flows through your body. But if you dont use it enough or if you dont have the ability to use it, then your body becomes closed off and after a while it will be impossible to use. I keep angling the wings to land as softly as possible as I want to minimize the damage to it. The closer I got to the ground the more blue mana I used to push on the front to slow myself down. I saw Malady and Vylet sitting at the camping spot on an big rock and tried to land next to them. Which kind of went well, until one of the wheels came off and rolled into the campsite scaring the crap out of them. Luckily the wheel stopped as it fell in a small ditch not too far away. Malady and Vylet had jumped up when the wheel crashed through the camp spot, each holding some sort of weapon. Malady had a big stick that I assume she found on her way out of here and Vylet had her daggers of course. When they saw me on the carriage that was currently crashing into the dirt next to them they were suprised. They knew I was getting some sort of transportation, but they didnt know that i would be crashing it next to them.

The carriage was really messed up, the sides of the carriage were all scratched up and dented. When it landed it flipped on its side after the wheel came off. Some of the windows were broken and all the stuff that was left in the storage compartment of the carriage was on the ground around it. But not everything was bad, as it seems that there was a secret compartment on the Inside of the carriage that broke open during the crash. Malady was the first one to notice this as she walked past one of the broken windows to try and find me the driver of this wreck. She ignored it for now and kept walking till she saw me on the ground with a slight green aura covering my body. I was smiling like an idiot cause I was the first person in history to fly a carriage. Vylet had went to get the wheel that had rolled off and bring it back to the carriage. I dont think it was broken, but the bolt that held it onto the carriage was missing. Most carraiges nowadays had an extra wheel or two and some tools hiding somewhere, for some on-the-road repairs. As I was on the ground, healing my injuries, I could only hope that we could fix it and get the hell away from this city.
