The fish begins diving down once it is close to the island, preparing to leap up and send Xil to the top of the mountainous island.
•Boon•
[It’s been nice talking to you, Boon.]
[I’m Xil.]
Xil braces for the moment.
Water pushes against her body as the fish begins ascending. The pressure and acceleration makes her vision become blurrier until she can only see a torrent of moving dots. The gigantic fish breaks the water’s surface, casting waves that smack against the island and roared like a thousand men.
As the fish was reaching the apex of the jump, the clamps on her and Guang release, launching them near the top of the island.
The two of them tumble and roll, ripping apart grass and dirt until they land into the bushes.
The waves splash onto the island, dousing the birdman as he flies down to get a closer look at Xil and her horse.
'What is it.'
Can I get two sets of mechanical wings? One for me and one for my horse.
'You came all this way to..'
'Alright. Fine. It will take a couple hours. I’ll be fixing the bird first.'
'You two can stay in my office until then.'
The red skinned birdman opens his palm, lifting Xil and Guang into the air. They have felt this sensation before — this ‘stasis’ like state is similar to when Guang creates the time distorted spheres.
The birdman flies back to the top of the island, landing next to the tall crystal like structure with a light at the top. In front of this building is a large flying vehicle, with metallic bird like wings attached to a egg shaped cockpit.
Countless boxes and tools litter the mats surrounding the vehicle.
The birdman shifts his hand and Xil and her horse float into the crystal structure, a building with large metallic shelves surrounding every corner and a large central table.
Once the two are inside, the stasis sphere disappears, dropping them to the mat covered floor.
There’s another person in there as well, the pilot of the vehicle being fixed — a giant with a long sleeved shirt and pants that hug the skin tightly. He is on the opposite side of the room, briefly glancing at the two before going back to reading a small book which floats in the air. Translucent blue dolls appear in front of the book, talking to each other.
Xil doesn’t bother him, preferring to look at the birdman while he is fixing the vehicle. She can see several metal tools and metal parts floating in the air while the birdman is taking apart a section of the metallic wings.
