Again the clock returned to zero. "You're letting too much air in at the same time"

Deimos grumbled and brushed himself off. Right to much. He didn't know how to control the ammount of air in his cloak.
He closed his eyes again, it'd coem to him, no? Wind began to fill his cloak. Woah to much, get back get back. He lost alitidue, not hitting the floor though. More more, damnit. He throuhg, and more air came in, so he was sort of switching between up and down now, not really hovering, but he didn't fall either.

The clock kept ticking, reaching the first minute mark. "Very good Deimos, keep it up!"

Yah, easy for you to say. He kept fluctuating the air, little then more little then more. Like a beat. Yes, lieka beat. He heard the beat in his head, the guitar struming, up then down, up then down. He ahdn;t touched the floor yet.

Still scolding herself for goofing up Jabir's instructions, Lenore watched Dei's attempts to fly in pure fascination. His way of flying was far more interesting than hers...
"Okay, I'll try it the right way this time," she said shyly to Jabir, kicking herself on the inside for misunderstanding his instructions.
Shimmying up one of the vines a good distance away from the mushroom-platform, she gave herself one last mental smack upside the head before launching herself off. The air buffeted her and made her eyes sting a little as she glided forwards and down, landing unsteadily and scrabbling for balance at the edge of the mushroom's cap.
Scuffing her feet on the cap's top, she turned to Jabir for his evaluation.
"Did I do it right this time?"

"Not bad Lenore, not bad at all.You'll still have to practice to get it right though" he winked
"Now that you've got the gliding right lets try the flying. First lets see what you can do"

Flinging her arms out as wide as possible, Len spread her razor feathers and adjusted her tail.
"Here goes..."
Flapping her arms once, twice, three times - her feet lifted off the ground a few inches, though only for a minute. Her arms grew too tired to support her weight, and she let herself land quickly.
Wiping sweat off her face, she shrugged.
"It's hard 'cause I can't stay up for too long - my arm's aren't strong enough to keep flapping so long."

"Hmm... you'll have to learn how to use air magic to support you and train your arms to become stronger. For now lets just use this" Jabir conjured a wind bellow Lenore, not strong enough to lift her but it would help her to keep airborne
"It will follow you while you're inside the room. Now try to fly to that branch over there" he pointed at a branch 20 feet from them and 10 above the floor

Hoping the winds wouldn't lift her skirt in front of Deimos (and so give Erebus a show she definately didn't want him to see), Lenore flapped again and went airborne easily. Flying was a bit harder than gliding, and it took a few minutes of hard flapping to get where she wanted to go. Soaring through the air clumsily, riding the wind's current, she landed on the branch and perched on it like a bird, laughing happily at her success as she looked down from the baugh.
"I did it! I flew!"

Deimos continued his flow, hearing the music in his head to keep the proper tempo. He looked up at Lenore's cried and smiled. "Go Len!!" He cried, the music a second nature to him, and therefore he only wavered slighly from his rythim of flight.

"Very good Lenore, very good. But you need to work out the balance and use the wind currents more. You're wasting too much energy in your flapping"
Jabir turned to Deimos and looked at the watch. Only 30 seconds left

And as we wind on down the road.. Dadan Dadan Dadadadada. Our shadow's longer than our souls. Dadan Dadan Dadadadada. There was a lady we all know.
Deimos heard the music in his head, helping him keep his rhythm. His head bopped sloightly as he went up and down in tempo to good ol' Led Zep. THis was his music, his element.

The watch made a cling when it finally counted 5 whole mintes without stoping, before melting into the mossy floor
"Very good Deimos, you've done it"

Though his flying was a bit graceful, his landing wasn't. With a cling, he beamed and let go of the wind. He landed flat on his face, but boucned back up, exited. "There! I did it!!"
