Wind Masters

    The rest of his crew surrounded us, before we had time to even realize what was happening, I heard a whoosh of wind. Matteas’s face contoured with pain as he held me in his arms shielding me from their leader’s attacks. He continued beating to my utter horror, it was as if we weren't even human. That's just how flyers see land dwellers, we're nothing more than animals they feel they can walk all over. Without warning me and Matt were separated and I had to receive the blows one by one on my own.

    “Hold him tight I want him to watch as I put his little b**** in her place. Matt tried to get to me, to protect me, but the other guys were holding him down.

    "Stop it! I thought you said you would never hit a girl. I'm the one that hit you, come at me instead leave her out of it!" I could hear the rage in Matts voice, he had always been the calmer one, and I had never seen him so mad. But his pleas didn’t matter the onslaught continued. That disgusting excuse for a human being just mocked and laughed.

    "Oh I’ll get to you soon enough but first I want you to watch and understand just how weak and insignificant you really are. Besides, I already told you, get her a dress, or nice guys like me could make a mistake." As I felt my consciousness waning I saw as somehow Butter was able to free himself from the tweedle dee and tweedle dumb. He sprang into the sky tackling the ranked flyer right out of the air.

    "Maya, run away and get out of here!" He was struggling as he held the flyer. I could barely stand as pain shot through my body with each move.

    “I won’t leave you behind butter.” While he was distracted one of the flyers lackies grabbed Matt throwing him to the ground. That's when the flyer turned on Matt; he created a whirl wind all around him cutting off his air supply, I watched helplessly as the rest of the gang laughed and cheered their leader on.

       "Stop it! You're killing him!" I screamed and screamed but my cries landed on deaf ears. Eventually even the other gang members started to look worried.

    "Come on boss, I think they learned their lesson."

       "Shut-up! I'll tell you when they've had enough! I’m gonna make this piece of s*** understand what it means to act against his betters." It was then as Matt struggled to breath, with a fire in his eyes I had never seen before, I saw Yuri take shape. She was so beautiful; like a wind playfully blowing through a forest, her hair swayed and danced around her body. With eyes that made me feel as if I was flying across a clear blue sky. She was filled with confidence and strength. Surrounded by an aura unlike any I had ever experienced before, in a word, Breathtaking.

    "What the heck is that?" The gang members started scrambling to get away, and then without warning she made a wave of wind with the flick of her wrist. As if by instinct, Matt jumped on it and started riding it like an oceans wave, as if the sky was his first home. The Boss of the gang was now angrier than ever, and just as confused.

    "A glider? No way, your nothing but a loser. You can't Fly or Glide or anything, you're just a land dwelling piece of s***, you can't do anything!" As he tried to create another whirl wind, Yuri blew it away with ease; it didn't take long before they all ran away in fear. As I struggled to stand to my feet, Matt began to sink back down. He fell right into the cradled arms of Yuri, as he lay unconscious, I couldn't believe what had just happened. I was sure I had just gotten too many hits to the head; People didn't really look like that, did they? They were just stories or legends powerful beings that once ruled the skies.

    “Wind masters” was the whisper that escaped my gaping lips. Wind Masters couldn't really still exist after all this time, could they? Even this destroyed site had been in honor of the old wind masters, but it had been destroyed during the last great war and all the relics stolen.

    "Who are you?" So entranced by Yuri, I didn't even realize I was standing on an old well hole, it had been covered up with dirt and debris, this place did have a keep out danger sign. As I tried to stand it Immediately collapsed from under me. I tried to clamber and move away, but it was too late, the last thing I saw was a man standing at the mouth of the well, staring down at me as I fell.
