Dragonfly
Today, I finally decided to register with Alyaesub.
I didn’t work so hard for nothing—at last, I’ve earned myself a bit of fun. I really hope I’ll enjoy it. Watching the Dragonflies from the ground certainly looks amusing. —I do miss flying—
Zygop, a human and Master of the Kushak, gladly took my gold. The facilities on the shore of Lake Haiyeti are large, orderly, and befitting the city. I was given a riding outfit (in case I fall—it’s meant to feather the fall).
Yara, an elf—refined and pragmatic—gave me my first flying lesson and introduced me to everything involving the Dragonflies. Lalique is the name of “my” Giant Dragonfly. I’m allowed to ride her and, afterward, I must care for her—feed her, groom her. She feels strangely familiar to me—a very spirited creature.
The animals are treated well and have plenty of time outside, which greatly reassured me. These beautiful beings aren’t kept locked away — they’re free to roam. —a cold shiver ran down my spine—
I saw 16 “nests” for the Dragonflies, though I’ve no idea how many there truly are. I should ask at some point. The first flying lesson was bumpy, but the feeling of the wind in my hair—freedom— It’ll take time until I get the hang of riding, but I’ll manage. I’m already quite proud that I didn’t need to test out the fall-protection gear. The view of the city from above was breathtaking. It truly resembles the blossom of a rose. Great minds have built something remarkable here.
And once again, I had forgotten… this city flies.
