Chapter 307 Soaring
"Yes, you don\'t want anyone to get hurt or be used against you. That is a nice thing to do, but I know it is more for you to be able to move around much easier, right?" Olivia asked, and I nodded. It was always nice to have someone around that understood what I was talking about.
"Yeah, I need to be able to move fast and not worry about everyone. I know that if something happens to them, the girls will take care of it for me, but that doesn\'t mean that it won\'t hurt me inside. You are one of the few people here with a job in this situation. If anything happens, you are just supposed to get out of here," I explained as Olivia stepped closer and wrapped her arms around my neck with a grin.
"I have been waiting for you to say something like that! So does this mean we don\'t have any chaperones now?" Olivia asked, making my eyes widen for a second before relaxing back into the hug with a chuckle.
"That isn\'t what I meant, but if you want to take advantage of that, then I am not going to stop you," I said, and Olivia chuckled as she pulled away from me slightly.
"I think we should get moving. We have a long day ahead of us, and who knows how long this will last?" Olivia suggested, and I nodded as we left the inn. It was a clear day outside, and I scooped Olivia up before sprouting my golden and clear ethereal Angel wings.
I gathered in magic and then burst into the air with Olivia, and she gripped her arms around my neck. I pulled her tighter into my chest as we started to fly higher into the air. We both looked down at the town below us as it got smaller and smaller by the second, and I grinned. I was going to miss the girls during the day, but I would still see them at night.
"Don\'t worry; they are all in good hands. We will be able to get back when we need to," Olivia said as if sensing my thoughts as she looked up at me. I nodded as I started flying even higher into the air with a grin on my face.
The wind caused both of our clothes to wave around us and press against each other, making it hard for me not to think about what Olivia looked like underneath that outfit of hers. We were so high up in the air now that all you could see below us was a blanket of clouds, and off into the distance, you could make out snow-capped mountains.
"This is amazing! I have never flown this high before," Olivia said as she looked around in wonder, and I chuckled.
Olivia squealed with excitement as we fell through the cloud layer and then came out into bright sunlight on the other side, with me laughing all the way down to her scream of delight. We broke through another cloud layer that had some raindrops coming down from it above us, but they quickly evaporated before they could even hit my body.
We continued our descent at breakneck speeds towards a large mountain range in front of us. The mountains got closer and closer until we were barely above them, speeding along between two peaks that seemed like they might scrape against my wings. Olivia held on to me tight as we barely made it through the gap and then started to climb up in altitude.
I turned us so that we were now facing downwards and dove towards another peak with a grin on my face. I had a feeling that Olivia was enjoying this more than she thought she should be, but there wasn\'t any harm in letting her have some fun while we were out here flying around. We came upon the mountain rather quickly from our high altitude, and I chuckled at how big everything looked down below us from up here.
We broke through another cloud layer as well, one that was filled with snow flurries instead of raindrops like before, making me shiver as they hit my body for just a moment before evaporating into nothingness again. We continued our descent until we reached the bottom of the valley between all these large mountains, coming down onto an open field covered in newly fallen snow.
"How did you find this place?" Olivia asked after I let her down when I landed.
I had been watching as I went, and I wanted to get us to the northernmost village since that was supposed to be the worst out of them all. I thought that if there was any place to start, this was it.
"I took us to what I assume to be one of the remotest out-of-the-way villages. When I was bobbing through the clouds, I was getting a good look at the landscape, and this looked like the best place to set down. I think that starting from what should be the worst areas first might give us some advantages. Considering that they will think that we would be heading to the next town on the trail," I explained, and Olivia nodded.
"That actually makes a lot of sense, so what are you waiting for? Let\'s get this started then," Olivia said, and I chuckled as I nodded. We had a lot of work ahead of us today, but if we played our cards right, we could make a big dent in all these problems pretty quickly.
