"The sky is the place I yearn for, the stars are so close to , every ti I ride the Griffin, if I am willing to flap my wings with it, everything feels within reach.
On many quiet nights, I would soar high, flying from the misty clouds of the sky, all the way to the moonlight of the Duchy of England-Lance."
I was laughing while thinking inwardly, he wouldn't be satisfied with just flying at night.
At night, many things couldn't be seen clearly.
Darkness, cold solitude, no applause.
Brahim has always been such a person, more eager to fly towards the blue sky, yet interrupted ti and again by the captain at dawn.
But I know, given his talent, very soon...
So that day, I said to him: "You don't have to rush, I've been with Kael for a long ti and I know very well he's the type of guy who would say there's an 80% chance even if he's 1000% sure."
My implication was to let Brahim hold on a bit, wait a little.
Once Brahim successfully has a new career, he would beco a truly top Sky Knight.
During the day, there are too many eyes watching them, I know this too, so before we gain the power to travel with white clouds, we need to lie low for a while.
Hmm... we just need to wait a bit longer.
But when I saw his shattered body, I finally clearly realized one question.
Why is Kael always chased as if soone is pursuing him from behind, never daring to stop even for a mont?
Clearly, just waiting would suffice, yet in this world, not many would wait for you to quietly grow up.
They will only think of ways to eliminate you.
Just like they killed Brother Brahim.
At that mont, I seed to deeply understand why the captain always shook his head, telling Brahim: "Not during the day, there are too many eyes watching you during the day."
"The bird yearning to travel with the white clouds fell into the dust."
That day, I seed to understand sothing.
From that day onwards, Brahim's cousin Yibel quietly looked at the captain, having shed his usual dejected expression, and said:
"Captain, how did Brahim manage to take down that Winged Person one-on-one?"
In response to Yibel was Captain Richard's silent deanor.
I rember before, Brahim always liked to stand up for Yibel because, though Yibel wasn't much older, he had already been flying in the sunlight for a very long ti.
Actually, sotis I am quite envious too.
Whenever Yibel flew high in the sky, he and the Griffin beneath him seed like a sword piercing through the skies, a formidable sword.
The sound of the air being torn by sonic waves always made my heart race, as though at that mont, I could better understand Brother Brahim's thoughts.
Yibel told that we, the new Sword Knights, are the real swords.
The direction the sword points to faces no resistance, silence prevails!
Yibel once said these things to Brother Brahim too, and when I first joined the Sword Knights, I always felt it was all empty talk.
But now, I no longer think that way.
I must grow up properly, strive to beco stronger, and wait for an opportunity.
Brother Brahim's tragedy must not repeat in our generation, I don't want to be just a sword, but a dragon, a dragon that can intimidate the raptors.
So, day after day, I kept training in the night, flying while gradually understanding my predecessors' worries, that bird —
The bird which takes eight Sky-splitting Knights to kill.
The land invincible cursed swordsn's fear of the day cos from it, now soone gave a thod.
I must kill it! This ti, we certainly can kill it!
Every day, I kept asking, when can I fly high, but the captain always gave a sowhat perfunctory response, saying: "Wait a bit more, not yet."
Until one day, until today...
I probably will never forget this day, February 2nd year 784 of the Divine Calendar, the captain ca as usual to pat my shoulder and said:
"The coyotes are here now, go, go fly!"
"Finally... it's co!"
I looked up to the clouds and asked the captain warmly: "How far, how high can we fly?"
Captain Charles was silent for a long ti, then jokingly scolded : "Today is the day the dragon raises its head, you can fly across all these vast lands!
Go fly to the highest place, go break the neck of that pesky bird, let the world see you all!"
That day, I laughed along wildly with him.
The sunshine that day was so warm.
I road above the sea of clouds, no longer traveling with the stars.
This ti, I could reach the distance of the sun.
In a trance, I seed to see Brother Brahim smiling at .
He seed to open his mouth as if to say —
Fly!
Fly to the highest place!
...

Kael slowly closed the scroll in his hand, revealing a look of wistful loss on his face.
"It finally started!"
