A vast sky blue expanse opened endlessly before her. The green forest was only a dark speck on the horizon. Deep oceans and tall mountain tips were in view. Scenes she could have only imagined. Her belief of escaping the forest, her family, her past was so strong she had arrived here.
Flying, high in the sky, away from all she had known. Fear crept into her body, wanting her to stop, slow down, turn back but she knew this was it. Her chance had come to see all she had ever wanted.
Tracing the flight of a white gull as it trailed through the clouds next to her. It glided effortlessly, supported by the air and swooped between the clouds, finally diving towards the blue ocean. She pursued. There was no ageing, no madness, and no death. Only more and more freedom.
As she allowed herself to follow the bird, she became lighter. Weightless, almost feather-like. Her form turned translucent and she merged with the wind. Breezes whispered to her softly as she skimmed the surface of the sea. Whispered to her of life. She slid in to the swash of the tide and became as insignificant as a drop in the ocean.
