256 [Bonus chapter] First Flight

Eltanin was… shocked. He was sure that Tania was having tremendous pain in her shoulders and back. Supporting those huge wings on her delicate back must be terribly difficult. He whipped his head from Anastasia to Kinshra to Tania. Tania's eyes were closed and it looked like she was in a trance. 

Eltanin turned his gaze back to Kinshra and almost in a pleading voice said, "Please don't give her so much pain. She is already tolerating a lot." He felt the lump in his throat with emotions choking him. He was sure that her mother would understand her agony. 

"She will be fine, Eltanin," Kinshra said, making Eltanin's heart beat faster. 

"She is ready Eltanin," Anastasia said firmly. "Had she not been ready, I wouldn't have said that. But right now, she has all the powers and the magic in her. She needs to taste the freedom to fly, else she won't be able to for a long time."
