After Mark had his enlightenment, he didn't wait around in the underwater cavern any longer. Staying here wasn't wise when he had only a small amount of time remaining.
He swam up against the currents with the hamster by his side and once he reached the shallow waters, opened his wings. Then, it was an easy jump into the skies and he flew free above the clouds, dark wings spread apart with poise.
His golden eyes looked down at the wilderness below like an eagle looking for prey.
The hamster took deep breaths in, noticing it was out of the water, and snuggled up to Mark's hair. He petted it gently and increased his speed.
Fwoosh.
Mark must have flown for half an hour before he stopped and landed silently on a thick branch. He hid amidst the foliage as he looked down, licking his lips.
They will be my target.
