Alchemy Familiar

As Angor prepared to depart on the next day, Alan and Aleen came to the deck to see him off.

The sun was bright. Angor rose on a demon falcon and flew around in the air until the figures on the ship became smaller and smaller.

When would they meet again? Life was full of separations. Angor was already thinking about their reunion.

As he approached the cloud whale, the imposing creature looked more and more magnificent.

When the demon falcon flew past the whale's head, Angor was sure the giant, blue pupils of the whale was following him. The cloud whale looked up as Angor flew higher.

The deep, blue eyes, like the sea illuminated by a newly rising sun. Gentle and serene.

The whale's "salute" shocked Angor as well as gave him courage. The gentle look dissipated Angor's uneasiness for being taken to the sky for the first time.

The demon falcon left Angor on the back of the cloud whale. He was immediately surprised by what he saw.
