The boy trembled as he looked down from the cliff to the sea. He had promised his mother he would not try to fly again, and he intended to keep that promise. He wasn't trying to fly, he was trying to fall. There was too much pain inside of him. Something had gone very wrong, very quickly, in his short life.

Would it hurt? He remembered the pain in his paw after Azure had thrown him off the first cliff. He trembled again, doubt in him. No, he had to, he had to... he took a step forward, earth crumbling under paw, he was so close to the edge...
