“Well…” Amuria coughed at her pilot’s question. “You can say so. My version is, Paraietta was already broken after I paired with Neviril… mind the altitude, we can fly higher here and hopefully catch a proper wind.”
No matter what happens, never let it distract you from work. Never.
Even if it’s your best friend.
Amuria frowned pensively at her own thought. Was she able to prevent this outcome? Could she convince Paraietta to return to normal life? Would it be better to make the first step and try to negotiate with her instead of waiting in the ballroom?
These questions had no answers, except for practical tests. She should have done it all and see the outcome, but it was too late for it.
She hissed something quite illicit. Hopefully, it wasn’t too late to prevent Paraietta from doing her final mistake.
“Um… where did I stop, Aaeru? I wanted to tell you…”
Her phrase was cut short as she spotted a vessel not too far away.
“I wanted to tell you we’ve found her! One o’clock, bearing two-eight-five, a Simile! Let’s race her!”
She unconsciously let a wide relieved smile appear on her face, her gaze firmly fixed on the aircraft as she was giving Aaeru instructions for outpacing the simile using the overspeed and altitude changes.
You won’t run away, Paraietta. We won’t let you do it. Ever.
Aaeru spotted the small vessel off in the distance. Unfortunately, it was in the process of landing at the mouth of the spring. Any hope of them catching up to her was quickly slipping away.
“Alright!” Aaeru replied. “Let’s see how fast this thing can really go!”
With Amuria’s guidance, Aaeru quickly gained control of the higher functions of the craft. If it had been a simile, she would have felt totally in control, but this was still new to her. No matter how good a pilot she was, it was still her first time. And to be taking on such a high speed at her level was a large undertaking. She shook out any doubts in her mind and pushed forward, concentrating entirely on their goal.
As they neared the mouth of the cavern, Aaeru circled overhead; reducing speed for landing. They had come in too fast and now — much to the pair’s dismay— had to waste time before landing.
“What if that idiot has gone in already?!” she yelled. “Help me land this thing before it’s too late!”
Paraietta walked out to see Aaeru and Amuria landing in their Simoun. They would believe she chose her permanent sex by now. Her hair and clothes were damp from the rain and the mist in the cave. It looked like she went in the spring.
She looked up at them knowing that Amuria would lose it if she thought she was too late. "Who gave you permission to take off?" She asked Aaeru, as the hatches opened. "Also, seeing as how you two managed to make it here working together. I expect to see you both in the Maaju pool together once a day."
Her serious eyes and voice were telling that she was still a Sibylla. Paraietta looked over to the Simile. "Return to the Arcus Prima immediately." She said, in her serious tone. "Maaju for the both of you upon your arrival." She turned and walked to her aircraft and got in. The roar of it coming to life was exhilarating as ever, and she took to the skies to return to where she belonged.
