Chapter 1

Valkyrie Cain had told them she was going shopping, just a way to get some flight time. Valkyrie reached the cliff about 10 miles from The holiday house they had rented, where the Dead Men reunion was taking place. Valkyrie was about two meters away frown the cliff edge, she sprinted towards the cliff and launched herself into the air. In midair a pair of raven black wings sprouted and unfolded,they had a 2 meter wind span or more. The feathers were tipped with a midnight black, darker than the night sky. Each feather different from its neighbour, each one silky and soft. The wind rushed around her as she flapped her wings and soured through the evening sky, her arms spread out and her legs straight. Valkyrie giggled as she twirled and wrapped her wings around her slim body as she dive bombed into the ocean, the water welcoming her presence and the fish swimming away. Valkyrie swam up, gasping for air and she flew out of the ocean and at top speed through the sky in a circle, drying herself off. Once she was fairly dry Valkyrie flew away from the cliff, leaving it all behind. She soared across the light house and to the tiny island that was a speck in the distance when you looked from the town or hotel. Valkyrie landed on the rickety abandoned island lighthouse and looked over the railing at the tides, Valkyrie expertly lifted herself on top of the railing and balanced there before taking off and flying rings around the lighthouse. Valkyrie landed on top of the lighthouse and checked her watch, 7:15 pm, time to go Valkyrie thought and flew back to the cliff and gracefully landed on the cliff edge and tucked her wings away, you couldn't see any bulk of the wings under her black clothes because they 'melted' in. Valkyrie hailed a cab , still grinning from her short flight. Yep, this was one of the joys of being a angel, a dark angel.
