*Hi again! No reviews.does anyone read Dinotopia fics? Oh, well. This
hasn't been up for long, and people will like it more when the series comes
out. Anyway. Breathe deep, fly high. For those who wonder, in the last
chapter, Rachel was 14. This chapter has different characters and may not
seem to be related at all, but it will all end up coming together and
making sense. So, hope you like!*
Kara stared out over the canyon for a moment, enjoying the view. She then began climbing again, but not before looking down to make sure Rainbow was still there. Her mother's skybax always stayed nearby while she climbed, to make sure she didn't fall. She smiled.
Her mother, Romana Denison Scott, was a master skybax pilot, almost up there with Unu. And her father, David Scott, was the first pilot to fly a pteranadon, and also a master pilot. She wanted nothing more then to join them, to fly with her own skybax and become a master pilot.
Rainbow's questioning screech shook her out of her daydreams of flight. "I'm ok, Rainbow," she called to the skybax, then continued climbing. Rock climbing was as close as she could get to flying right now, and she loved it. It took concentration, skill, and courage, and she had ample amounts of each. Hand, foot, hand, foot, finding every hidden dent, every little outcropping that could be used as a support, a foothold or handhold. It was something not everyone could do, and she prided herself in her expertise with the activity.
Kara finally reached her destination, a smooth platform of rock very near the top of one of the canyon walls. She stretched out on the rock, laying on her stomach and watching skybax fly through the canyon. She smiled as Rainbow joined them, though staying near the rock platform so that Kara couldn't 'sneak' away while she wasn't looking.
"One day, I'll fly a skybax. Or maybe even a pteranadon!" Kara vowed, sealing the promise to herself by carving a small skybax outline into the rock with a sharp stone she kept. She would be a master pilot.just as soon as she turned 18. Four more years, and she could be assigned to the sky and begin her training. "I can't wait," she said, finishing the carving and looking back out at the skybax. "The day I fly will be the best day of my life."
