Flying in the Air

I want to fly.

I know it's a mad thing to wish for but I am serious. I want to fly. I wish I had wings so that I could jump off a cliff or something dramatic like that and soar away. That would be amazing. But since I don't have wings, I am stuck here.

When I first met Matteo, I thought I was cursed. It's not because I had to help him or anything but, it was the same thing that everyone is asking: Why am I one of the Five? But I accepted it sooner than anybody else did and so I don't think I am cursed or something because somebody has to be one of the Five. So I have decided to shoulder the responsibility.

But sometimes I wish I could just fly away. Away from this gatekeeper business, away from all the Old Ones, away from all this chaos and Chaos. For a moment I am even tempted to give up on my friends. But I can't. My fate is decided and anyway if there is one principle that I stand by and it is trust. Never break anyone's trust if you want to survive. And I won't abandon Matteo because he is my friend and he trusts. I won't abandon Jamie because he is honest and pure. I won't abandon Scott because he needs me and he too is a friend, a true friend. I will not abandon Scarlett because she is good and innocent. I will not abandon Richard because he is selfless.

But still I can't help wishing that I could fly away. Fly away into the air, fly away into the world of love and harmony, of friendship and trust and the eternal happiness that each of the Five deserve.

I just wish I can fly away.

And one more thing: I am wishing it in Spanish!
