The Day The Earth Fell

Shay was finally beginning to relax. The Dead were still a threat as far as she knew but if Ravenia, Tobias, Ramera and Anora needed any help they would have certainly made it very clear. They knew how to reach all of them if the situation became too dire. Jacob was their secret weapon. She felt especially safe with him. Many people of the city that didn't know Jacob as well were afraid of his powers and his stale attitude didn't help. But Shay understood him a bit better as she knew him through the trainings they had with the Harpies. She trusted Mother and Mother most certainly trusted Jacob. He was on their side.

With Sun behind them guiding them along with his sprites, Shay looked ahead, her hair, hell her whole body and clothes a complete mess. She looked forward to getting cleaned up and be back home. Shay lifted her head off of Marcus' shoulder and looked at him. "I can hear your mind racing" she teased. She knew he wasn't a fan of abilities that spread past their conventional understanding of logic, science and technology. There was no proper explanation for the powers that Sun had that could be found through reason, math or textbooks.

The Day The Earth Fell

Despite the pain being gone, Shay struggled to catch her breath as she held it often in her awkward balancing act. Getting used to the weightless feeling was difficult and definitely not relaxing. This was supposed to be a freeing and exciting experience and it seemed more like a frustrating unwanted challenge. Her hand gripped Marcus', not realizing how hard due to the numbness flowing through their bodies from Sun's sprites. Shay looked to Marcus hoping she wasn't the only one awkwardly trying to gain control of her body. It was then that she saw how hard of a grip she was holding on him and quickly released. When he would meet her eyes she would give a small embarrassed laugh; she was glad to see he had some measure of difficulty like her.

Soon enough, as they reached outside and moved up higher in to the air, Shay felt like she had started to regain her balance. The feeling of flying was a freedom that couldn't be expressed in to words. Is this what it felt like for the harpies? For Mother? It was simply amazing! Not only was her pain gone but with the wind blowing in her face she could take deep, relaxing breaths of air as it blew past her worn and dirty face. The colors of the sky, the warmth of the sun on her face, made her feel more alive than ever.

Just when Shay thought she had full control of her balance she teetered over towards Marcus. With a small "ah!" and reached out grabbing Marcus' shirt sleeve to help balance her out. As she leveled back she looked to him. She grinned impishly and pulled him close to her, their shoulders banging against each other softly. She didn't say anything but laid her head down against him, their torsos close together as they moved forward.
