Fly with me? she asked, pointing at the sky.
Fly? Silveny repeated, not sounding nearly as excited as Sophie
wanted.
But Sophie kept pushing, sending memories of all the times they’d
flown together, and reminding Silveny of how long it’d been. And
when that still didn’t convince her, Sophie played her secret weapon.
Please? she asked. It might help me have better dreams tonight.
Help Sophie? Silveny said, her mind turning over the words until
they shifted from a question to an answer. Help Sophie! Help Sophie!
Help Sophie!
“What are you doing?” Linh asked as Sophie pulled her hair back
into a ponytail and headed for the enclosure. “Are you guys going to
fly?”
“That’s the plan,” Sophie agreed, and Linh let out a giddy squeal.
“Can I come too? I’m so over battle training. And Tam just left.
And . . . okay, I just really really really want to fly with the pretty,
sparkly horses!”
Sophie laughed and glanced at Greyfell, transmitting Linh’s
request. He sized Linh up for a second, then lowered into a crouch—
his way of saying sure, climb aboard—causing a whole lot more
squealing as Linh sprinted into the pasture and practically leaped onto
Greyfell’s muscled back.
And Silveny seemed much more excited by the idea as she bent to
let Sophie climb on.
Thanks, Mama Glitter Butt, Sophie told her, wrapping her arms
around Silveny’s neck as Silveny flapped her enormous wings,
launching them airborne.
