Grateful for the chilliness of the air, the girl clung to her glider and did her best to continue steering toward the light. It was difficult with shaking fingers, but a goal had been set. The last time she had been given a goal she had done marvelously, so this time should be the same. A tiny voice reminded her that her first goal had been from the goddesses, but she shrugged that off. That didn't matter. Her own goals were good too! For a few moments longer she floated along in peace, eyebrows pulled down in concentration of keeping steady and reviewing the vision. It had been so stark and sudden, odd and disjointed... Maybe she should stop thinking about it, maybe if she kept on thinking about it, it would happen again. Undoubtedly it did.
This time was worse for it played out longer and the cool air was not enough to dismiss the oddly warm feel to her slightly insubstantial skin. But just when she was sure she would crash, her muscles jerked up just in time and she managed a narrow escape. She would not be so lucky a third time.

There was a saying somewhere about flying too close to something bright and warm, but Annabell could count the number of things she knew on two hands so actually remembering what that saying was seemed an impossibility. But, nonetheless, she should have known that things come in threes (and she knew that now at least!), for that vision had occurred twice so she shouldn't be surprised when it happened a third time. Yet for some reason she was. Perhaps that was due to her nativity given her lack of knowledge about herself and this world and how things operated. It could have just been the startling clarity in which the vision occurred, so stark and sudden there was no time to brace oneself. Nevertheless, the spark of flame clouded her vision and it was only the brush of water that could chase it away. Unfortunately it meant she was back at the beginning, but that was better than still being on fire.

Adding 'resolute determination in the face of obstacles' to the little list of what she knew about herself, Annabell wasted no time in getting the glider cranked back up again. The one she had originally used was lost to the water, but there were a number of others ones to be used. She silently promised not to use too many, hoping this one would be enough. If it wasn't, she would feel truly terrible about wasting all those lovely gliders. And what about those other figures she had seen? Surely they'd want to use them too! So yes, there it was a promise! Just this glider would be enough!
And as she launched herself into the air, a great swell of courage made her smile. This time would be much easier, even the voices sounded happier! They warned of the drop, but she knew what it was like. There was nothing to fear from it now.

She'd never seen anything like this before. Naian let one hand slide down a glider's wing, marveling at the beauty of it. It felt smooth and sleek and like the entire idea of flight given physical form. The islands far out made that yearning awaken in her once more. Maybe something out there would answer her heart?
She quickly searched until she found a way to wind up the machinery, then turned the crank and climbed into her chosen glider. Unfortunately, the machinery just shuddered and nothing happened... Maybe it was broken?
Her heart sunk.

Though that courageous feeling didn't last long, it wasn't sorrow that greeted its departure. Annabell was much more content, at ease with her flight. This was heavily facilitated by the soft, sweet echo of nonsense in her ears. It sounded almost musical, like the words should rhyme if only she could hear them well enough. A shame she couldn't, but that was alright. She felt more at ease not knowing, instead just getting the sense that the voice was happy for her.

For the last little leg of the flight, that feeling of complacent courage returned, no overbearing but helpful. The girl found herself honestly enjoying the wind and the mist and the water below now that it was a safe distance from her and the glider. With such a feeling of wellness, it wasn't long at all until the flight was nearing its end. The sight of floating islands made her gasp in awe, but it was the realization of their glow that had her leaning forward. The task at hand! It could be completed if she received a blessing, yes that would be perfect! While that idea was great in theory, in actual execution it was a bit different when a large gust of wind momentarily derailed her. Thankfully the difficult journey across had given her time to practice this whole flying thing, but it would be much more difficult from here on out.

She quickly tried again, but the same thing happened. Her frown deepened. Maybe she wasn't going to get to fly after all...?

Once more. She couldn't just give up. Hoping against hope, she wound up the mechanism and hopped back into her glider. "Come on..."
And then, with a glorious snap, the wind hit her in the face and the bottom fell out of the world and she was flying.

That first gust had been a warning, for after a few more moments of easy flying, things got really rocky quickly. More gusts came after that, from odd directions that Annabell could prepare herself for, as much as she tried. But at least there weren't any visions! ...Yet...

Imuiel knew exactly why he was trying this.
That glowing island presented not only a challenge, but it was dangling right in front of him, potentially packed with hidden knowledge. He'd never tried any of this before, either--just the action of attempting such a thing was data gained in itself, and he couldn't help but be excited. As he wound up his chosen glider and got in, he chuckled quietly to himself, amused by the fact that he was actually here, trying this. This was abruptly cut short as the launcher trembled, and the launch just about knocked the wind out of him--
But he was flying. He was in the air.

Buffeted about quite easily, the girl was beginning to get a little worried about her glider and herself. If these high winds kept up, one of them was going to bite it and this was a team effort! Thankfully, there came a small lull where she was able to adjust herself, to tighten her grip before she was once more pushed around. It was easier to hold then, at least.

The increased strength of the gusts was not very good, but their consistency was going down. Thankful for the continual spurts of calm, the girl kept herself low and determined, close enough that she could almost land on a few islands that were growing closer. She just had to be patience, and calm. Which felt very difficult given the bubble of excitement growing within her.

Someone was speaking to him, softly and gently. Imuiel would have looked around for the source if he wouldn't have been so intent on flying, but the rush of feelings still swept him up, and his slight doubt in his ability to fly the glider was momentarily erased. He was...happy. Calm. This was right, a good and noble task.
Even though it wasn't too long before the feelings ebbed away for the most part, a shell of them remained, and Imuiel smiled.

But all easy paths are littered with holes, and this one was no exception. No matter how close she seemed to get to an island the wind knocked her back, sent her skittering on air away from safety. Worry was creeping in now, doubt over whether she could do this. But she had come so far, it would be folly to give up so easily!

Despite her best efforts, and Annabell really had given it her all, it wasn't enough. The winds were too high, she was too tired from the journey and she couldn't land. With a sigh the glider fell into the fog, the girl wrapped up in the cold and mingle of mysterious voices. The cold did not feel bad, feeling oddly comforting. Something resonated within her, something like a thought that maybe she shouldn't feel this way about the cold but that she did. It was forgotten though, for darkness took over.
