Chapter XVI
"Soaring with Hawk"
"Soaring with Hawk"
Willow was ecstatic and barely able to utter the word ‘YES!’
Hawk told her that their journey would soon begin and that she should close her eyes just for a moment. Willow closed her eyes tightly, and although it felt like a lifetime, she began to feel herself being moved and jostled around until she felt herself being perched high atop something that felt very warm and soft, yet sleek to the touch. A soft breeze began to toss her hair about. “Alright”, said Hawk, “you may open your eyes now”. Willow was breathless when she found herself sitting on Hawk’s soft and powerful feathered shoulders. They flew gently upwards into the sunny skies. Hawk flapped his wings with such strength and power and then they began to soar. |
Hawk’s mighty wings made an unforgettable swooshing sound. She did not want this to end. Then Willow thought.... “how could it be that I am flying with Hawk? But, why not?” After all, everything about Hawk was very magical and mystical! Willow was flying with Hawk!
Willow looked at the ground below with great interest. Such a unique vantage point was rare. As she felt Hawk begin to fly downwards towards Mother Earth, she wished it could last forever. Hawk flew lower and closer to the earth. Willow could hear melodies of the sweetest music she had ever heard. She looked around to see if she could see where it was coming from, but she could not. Willow closed her eyes and enjoyed the sweetness of the tunes as the wind continued to blow across her face. Hawks soaring lulled her into a place of peace and comfort. As they flew closer to the earth Willow could see extraordinary coloured bubbles of music rising from each note that was played.
They had arrived.
As they landed on the top of a mountain Willow’s vision was filled with a field ablaze of ruby-red flowers. “Welcome to Fire Mountain!” announced Hawk.
