[Irene’s POV]
We crossed the forest of clouds and soon went over them. Virgil was leading the way while Ryu and I flew behind him. Ryu rode his pegasus closer to mine.
I saw the clouds stand below us casting their shadows on the land. It was beautiful.
In the past years, I had ridden above the clouds with Zane several times. We shared Persi, Zane’s pegasus, that I was riding at the moment. I always told him I wanted to ride my pegasus. He got me my own pegasus, but he ended up riding with me.
No matter whose pegasus we rode, he always found a way to slide behind me, with his arms wrapped around my waist.
At times, I found it irritating, but at others, I loved the way he clung to me. Right now, I desperately wished that somehow Zane would slide behind me on his pegasus and embrace me.
