There was a lightness in my chest and a huge smile on my face as I beat them again, soaring, higher, faster, further. I’d never felt a rush like it, every inch of my skin was alight with power and energy, exhilaration and fire. I whooped with joy as I spun through the sky, my wings beating hard as I moved faster and faster with my sister beside me. I was flying, really, truly flying. And I’d never felt so alive or so free in all my life.
