Lightning Is the Only Way

Skye shouted in excitement and flew to its parent. Gravis, who was still on Skye's back, smiled happily for Skye as they closed in on each other. The two birds met in the sky and circled each other, while their heads touched. Gravis was glad that Skye could finally see its parent again.

The disciples from the Wind Guild also watched in awe at the two birds. From the ground, it looked beautiful how the two birds circled each other. All of the disciples knew Skye's parent since it was not every day that a high-grade Energy Beast made its nest in the Wind Guild. The bird was probably the strongest being in the Wind Guild, except for the Guild Master and Vice-Guild Masters.

"Hey, there is a person on the new bird's back," one of them shouted, and they looked closer. Surely enough, there was a young man on top of the bird's back. When the disciples saw the clothing that Gravis wore, their mood changed from excitement to bitterness. They all knew how Heavenborn dressed, and they could also guess why Gravis was here.

Who didn't hear about what Wendy had done in all the guilds and towns? Every disciple that had contact with Wendy in the past told her to stop doing what she was doing. They all knew that Gravis would eventually turn up if she continued. Sadly, she didn't listen to any of them and cursed Gravis even more when they tried to stop her. In their eyes, Wendy was suicidal and insane. What person with a normal head would do something like this?

Ultimately, the day had come, and nearly all of the disciples felt some sadness and regret for one of their disciple sisters. Were they angry at Gravis? A little bit, but not that much. Wendy was the instigator of this whole thing, and she acted like she wanted to fight a life and death battle with him.

Even though Gravis was not the aggressor, they still felt uncomfortable when someone would set out to kill one of their sisters. Yet, when they saw Gravis' smiling face and the happy birds, their bad feelings lessened slightly. They didn't know him, but their first impression was that he wasn't as bad of a guy as Wendy made him out to be.

"Hey, can you at least let me down? You can catch up all you want after that," said Gravis after a while. He didn't know what the disciples of the Wind Guild thought, but he wouldn't care much about it anyway. He was hellbent on moving down the path he had chosen, and the thoughts of others wouldn't change anything.
