Mistress Sha'uri?

::Cadence went to the teachers classroom between classes and peeped inside the room her pretty blues were so pleading::

Remembers that thing about flying yous offered to me's, well I'd like yous to helps me please learn how to fly again. I gots as far as gliding down from higher up places, but not too highs. Not like off a house or anything but...more like off a bartop or couinter or something like that. I'm just a bit nervous and not sure hows its supposed to be dones and would like yous helps so very much.

::beneath pleading eyes came a hopeful smile.::

The handful of test papers where in her grasp as she straightened them all out into a neat stack. She looked up at the sound of Cadence's voice, peering at her with curious sapphire hues. Sha'uri really wanted to help Cadence breathe in that rapid flow of words, so she couldn't help but smile rather amused. Still, she was pleased Cadence had come to her.

"Of course I'll help you. I've got time now for the next hour or so. If you've got time we can start now for a little while before lunch is served. Would that work for you?"

Oh that be so lovely!

::Cadence clapped her hands and on her tippy toes and was very excited about this::

Then I won't be full from lunch and can move betters. Right? So we go out to the field?

Sapphire hues danced with mirth, remembering the day she learned to fly...

"Yes, that would be a good place. I think, though, that I'll join you a bit more as you are instead of being the dragon that I am."

Sha'uri cast a spell to change her form, standing in the process while the wings of an angel formed along her back, spreading to stretch out and flutter gently before gracefully folding back down.

The papers were placed into her desk, along with a spell to lock and protect them from any would be or mishappened cheaters. Then she opened the door to the balcony and stepped outside, again, stretching her wings in preparation.

"Come stand out here and stretch your wings, feel the breeze within them for a moment..."

Oh! those so pretty, Mistress Sha'uri!

::Cadence thought Sha'uri really was and angel cause it just seemed to fit so well. she followd the angel out to the balcony and stretched her wings. It was really windy and the gusts woiuld buffett her just a little but not enough to lift her up all the way::

Mistress! I feel it! I feel it. Cans I flys now? Is it okay? Is that what yous do?

::so very excited!:

"Calm down, young one..."

Sha'uri gracefully commanded with mirth still in her eyes and carried within her voice.

"All in due time. For now, I want you to practice moving your wings. The wind is fairly strong this afternoon so it might not be a good day for you to actually fly, but I will fly for you and carry you to the field by tying this rope to both your hands and carrying you along that way. All I want you to do is gently feel the wind in your wings and watch how mine work. Okay?"

Figuring she would be okay with it, Sha'uri then produced a rope out of thin air. She also placed spongy cushions with each end to make sure Cadence wasn't going to get rope burns as she tied each end round each wrist respectively.

"This will keep you from falling. You'll have to hold tight to the ropes here so that it won't yank on your wrists too much. You'll be holding your weight but the distance isn't far. I'll lift up holding the middle of the rope and it will lift you and pull you along. Just feel the breezes and watch my movements. Are you ready?"

::the angels Sha'uri voice seemed to calm her down with grace. Such a graseful person she was it was kind of catchy so Cadence calmed down settling on the balcony a little more stable::

I thanks yous so much for doing this, Mistress Sha'uri. Yous is as kind as Bob. Yous and Headmaster Briarius and Mistress Lyndra. So very kind! I never knews people were like that until I met Bob.

::Cadence held still while the Mistress tied her wrists and was glad for the cushiony thing to protect her wrists. It felt all squishy and cushy. She took hold of the rope in her hands and understood just how it was going to work and nodded with a big 'ol smile::

I is all ready, Mistress Sha'uri. Lets fly!

"You mean... I am all ready."

A mirthful smile as she gently corrected Cadence. And she would help her improve her vocabulary skills.

"Okay, then, hang on tightly and watch carefully. Feel free to extend your wings, move them around a bit to practice ..... but if the wind becomes too strong, pull them back in. I'll try to keep it slow."

Her wings extended, catching the breeze while she began to lift in the air. There was about five feet of space between them before the rope began to lift Cadence in the air.

She slowly moved out over the land, carefully turning right and then left making half circles each time, using that pattern to move out over the field in the distance. All the while, she kept looking back to Cadence to make sure she was there and watching. She had to speak up louder so Cadence could hear her.

"Are you doing okay back there?"

"You mean... I am all ready."

You are?

::blinks::

Oh, yous means me!

::giggles and nods all excited and blushing for her lapse in proper speech::

Yes, I am all ready.

::Cadence repeated the words very slowly and then hung on tightly while the Mistress pulled her up. She watched Sha'uri very carefully and tried to extend her wings to catch the wind and even moved them slightly as she did trying to mimick what Sha'uri was doing and feeling the breezes beneath her wings and how they shifted directions with just a slight tip of her wings. She felt like she was flying!::

WeeEEEEee!!!!!!!!! Look at me I'm flying!!

::she giggled and wooped with pleasure all the way to the field::

Sha'uri had to smile at that refreshing enthusiasm. Peering back at her, she watched Cadence carefully while she flew in a meandering pattern to the field. She even flew backwards for a short while just to show Cadence how it was done. Even Sha'uri was having fun with this.

"Okay, we're going to land, shift your wings out like this.."

Stretching her wings out to cup the air, she glided them down to the ground gently placing Cadence there and landing next to her, tucking her wings back behind her.

"Now that you've had a taste of it, I want you to practice moving your wings and when you are ready, and you will know when that is... you'll fly on your own. Just exercise your wings and get them strong, flap them whenever you've got the chance. It'll help build up those muscles in your back, the ones that control your wings. It's very important that they be strong for you to fly with them."

She untied the rope while she spoke.

::Her wings dipped to mimick Sha'uri and she could feel herself shift way too much but was quick to pull her wings back in and just let Sha'uri bring them back to the ground::


Thanks yous so much, Mistress Sha'uri. I promise I'll exercise before I flys. It was so exciting to be up there, I wanna do it again! So I's'll practice really good before I try cause it'll be me doing it likes yous said...

::she realized how badly she had said all that::

Um, I mean, I will practice very..

::pauses to think of that new word she learned and her eyes lit up::

Diligently! That's it. I will practice diligently and flys on my own next time. Was that better?

Shauri

She smiled gently with a touch of pride in her eyes.

"Very good. You are learning. It's good that you try to catch yourself making the mistakes. The more you do it, the better you become. Just like flying, the more you practice, the better you are at it."

She rolled up the rope and then tossed it into the air and it disappeared into thin air. Then her wings seemed to meld back into her back and then they were gone, too.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

CM

Date: 2007-04-16 21:11 EST
Oh no, Mistress. Yous... You have been most kind.

::She picked up Sha'uri's hand to shake it only she kissed the back of her hand, just like Mary had showed her::

I be seeing you, Mistress Sha'uri.

::Cadence went back to the buildings and studies, stretching and flapping her wings but being careful not to hit anything and made that part of her study routine so she would practice it often evn while she worked and cleaned things, and especially when she was outside with lots of room to keep from bumping into things, like on her way to the Inn or something::
