He suceeded! The Blessings inside him guided him--as opposite poles attract each other, they pulled him toward the small floating island.
He made it through the battering of the wind and mist, shakily landing the crumbling glider on the largest island where the Blessing Glow originated.
The shrine here is wind-scoured and its color faded from the continous exposure to the elements, decorated with more avian-looking spire-like things and other symbols he don't recognize--
-but the glow of the Blessings within is powerful and warm.
He entered the small opening. The Blessings housed there, seemingly attracted to him, swarmed to his side.
Those orb-like fragment of Goddess power encircles him.
Three of them. Each have their own meaning. The Fall; The Wing and The Bold. Each of them has recognized you as truthful inheritor...but you can only take one each visit.
"To be short, which one will I take, huh?"
He put his hand on his own chest; his own 'heart' and asked.
Which one will be the one to complete me?
His heart answered with a simple beat.
A Blessing drifted to him.
[Eir obtained Blessing!]
He felt his heart grow more and more.
Against all the odds placed, you managed to get through. You should remember this well---for Bravery is a two-edged sword. It can move you forward but can also make you fall.
The new Blessing resonated with each other, producing a strange ripple on his 'heart' and new understanding.
[Eir exits to The Ruins, still pondering what is 'courage' he just received.]

Glistening white and aerodynamic, they rested neatly in lines. Tiek glanced around, but saw that no one else was going to try it out. As he approached a flier, the figure of an Avian Totem caught his attention. For a long time the two stared back and forth, though it was questionable if a totem could stare. It was, after all, a totem.
Shaking off the sensation, Tiek stepped up to his glider and placed a hand on the crank. Something inside his yellow core explained how to do this. Slowly he cranked, until it was just right. Climbing on, he shot off into the air, a shriek of joy and terror trailing behind him.

Maybe this time he'll finally get to see the floating island? Either way, Decyl immediately hurries off into the air. With this being his third try, he sails off easily into the air.

He is so totally to crash.The violent nature of the voice also doesn't help and Decyl hisses as the wind cuts into his face. Maybe he should try offer something to them next time as passage fee?

As Tiek flew, the air around him whispered by. Terror slowly left, its vacuum filled with awe and wonder. When all those emotions settled, Tiekash realized that he had no experience, knowledge, or help to fly the air glider.
Then the voices started to come as the fog got thicker. Confused and terrified, Tiek stiffened. A voice came clearly to him. You need to go down! If you stay there, you may stall!
While Tiek found it ill advised to listen to disembodied voices, right now there was nothing to lose. He glided downward.

Maybe the voices in the air took the hint. With the voices gone, he was confident he'll fly just fine. However...what if it comes back? Anxiety returns.

Oh he's absolutely great right now. No crazy voice, but extra paranoid that it will come back...At least he didn't do barrel rolls with the glider.

2: HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK. You stare at the machine for a long time in utter confusion. It does not magically begin working. You are absolutely certain the avian totem is mocking you, even though it isn't moving. It just has that judging you expression. Roll again.
[Enter from world's edge] Though she had not been gone from here long, Wyng did not quite remember what to do when she returned to the gliders. Trying to remember, she stares at the launch contraption in confusion, Wyng again catches sight of the totem and again bows it a raspberry.

He can do this, Decyl told himself repetitively. He refuses to fall into the fog again like every time he tried here.

4-6: You wind up the launcher just enough. When you get into the glider, the launch apparatus trembles for a moment. Then there is a rush of air and force and you and your glider are shot forward into the fog-bright sky. Success!
Finally remembering how to launch herself, Wyng sets up for launch and soon she's in the air again. Like a bird on the wing, she jokes to herself.

The voices continued, stronger now as he flew deeper into the mists. Tiekash wasn't sure what one to listen to. Some said to dive down straight, that he was going to overshoot the islands. Another said that he was too low and should turn around to make a second shot.
There was one though, that was steadier and kinder than the rest. Keep doing what you're doing. You're doing great.
He swallowed down his nerves and flew straight ahead, not bothering to make any drastic changes in altitude.

While he might have crashed into the shrine, Decyl was finally able to check it out. From there he got an orb...what is this orb...
Oh very funny.
