The sound of the ocean fell against the side of the rocks that lay below. The men that stood at the side of the ledge looked down at what they may see. Jaged rocks lined the bottom, they looked ammoung each other before asking "Are you sure you really want to do this?" The man in the middle shrugged as he said quite matter of factly "Hey gotta try sometime or we wil never learn anything." The people that surrounded the man nodded for a second as if saying they understood. They had worked this long and hard, time to see if it was going to pay off. The first man ran back a ways to a large machine that stood twenty to thirty feet back from the cliffs edge. It was a wood frame built with a small compartment for sitting in. Large planks of wood jetted out from the left and right side. "Are you really sure that you want to do this?" a man standing to the side asked. "Yes im sure now stop your yapping and start this cursed thing." They nodded once more as they ran to where they were supposed to be. Everything was going to work out as planned. Or at least so he hoped. No time to think that over though, they were about to make history. They were all to become legends. Pulling a scarf up to cover his mouth he shouted a muffled "Let her rip!"
The thing he sat in jerked roughly, thats normal. He tried to tell himself, thats supposed to happen. The second man ran back from the machine holding a small red orb. Odd thing that was, but it had helped them reach this far. The contraption he sat in jerked to a motion rolling forward on the wheels built underneath it started to rush towards the cliff edge. "Hey once we got this I want a beer from each of you now!" He shouted over his sholder. Hope welling up inside, almost smothering out fear. Almost. As the machine reached the edge it leapt from the cliff and started a plummit down. "Alright wait for it." He cood as he staired at the jaged rocks that seemed to be closing in on him. "Wait for it..." The ground fast approaching. "Now!" He said as he rammed his fist into a small blue on the left of the pannel in front of him. An invisible force of some kind slammed into the rocks dirrectly ahead of him. The contraption he sat in started to go back in the dirrection it had just come from. Spinning the blue orb he slammed back into his seat as the contraption spun mid air and started to head for the sky. Grinning he almost jumped up in his seat, had he not remembered he was still in control of the contraption.
Spinning the orb to the left the contraption turned to match it. He continued to laugh as he heard the cheers of his partners below him. They had done the imposible. They had taken the skys, without any help beside those orbs. Looking at the blue one he thought for a moment. They had not figured out the next part of the plan. How was he supposed to get down?
