It's only when you're flying /Private/ that you realize how incredible the Earth is

Rootkit was laying down in some grass in the side of camp, his legs hurt from standing so much in his new form. It was actually nice to relax for a bit, after he finally got situated. He stretched his wings once before nuzzling down, planning to sleep. Though at his position the sun constantly in his eyes, he had to have chosen suck a spot, but he was too lazy to move. The other just raised his wing in an attempt to block the sun. At this rate he wasn't going to be able to sleep.

As the kit was trying to figure out a way to rest, a white feather fell in front of him. First off he though it was his own, but it didn't look like one of his. Rootkit's now brown eyes turned to look at the small flock of birds that flew by. His heart sank, he had yet attempted to fly himself. He didn't even want to try, ever getting stuck in a tree for climbing for a dare he'd be terrified of heights. Who would blame him? No kit wants to be stuck up that height.

Rootkit looked up confused, kind of crestfallen that the other bird didn't recognized him. Then again Rootkit should have probably expected that of everyone. Being turned from a small kit to a land bird was, at least to say,different. " It's Rootkit, not that you could tell." the secretary bird explained. Perhaps he should steal some of the twoleg stuff and just make a sign to wear around his neck with his name on it. At least then he wouldn't have to sound like a record repeating all day.

"A day or so." Rootkit explained, it was still hard for him to believe as well. One day you wake up with a sore body and that your no longer fit in your homey nest.How would a cat respond to something like that, well they have a break down after finding out this wasn't a dream. "let's say it has been an interesting day or so"

The larger bird sat there and blinked for a few times thinking. Flying,that dreaded word. Rootkit did feel as if he could fly he just chose not to. The orginally born cat felt safer on the ground rather than the air. The image of him in a tree flashed in his mind. He felt shivers runs down his bird like spine."I-I haven't tried yet." he answered as calmly as he could.

Rootkit thought for a moment as he stumbled up. He still wasn't used to having up such long and thin legs. It surprised him that twolegs walked this without any problem. He shook his head, sneezing some dust out of his nose. Flying, sure he didn't see any reason why not to attempt it. His fear was irrational, he was a bird. A bird that could fly no less. Didn't mothers toss their chicks out of the nest so that they could learn to fly? Even so the idea made Rootkit feel uneasy.

"The question is more like I how do I fly?" compared to his friendly hawk, Rootkitnwas more than twice his size. Meaning they most likely had different ways of taking off and landing. Rootkit had never seen how larger birds like his current form took off. Did they flat their wings and magically take off, or did they need a running start?

Rootkit backed away from his friend, flapping his large pointless wings. That's what they were if he didn't even at least try to fly. There was very much harm in trying, how would he land? But he only had to do this once, just try it. His talons dug into the ground thinking. Just once, and he would never have to do this again. "I'll try it"

Rootkit backed up a bit, his wings unfolded." Like this?" This was how he imagined that one would start out with. So did he just run and pray that his wings would carry him?

Rootkit really hoped he wouldn't end up falling on his face as he attempted his flight. Just think about how many things that could go wrong. What's the saying, 'anything that can go wrong will go wrong'? Hopefully as much he thought about it, by some magical being it wouldn't happen. The large bird took a deep breath before he started to run. Using the energy from running the other jumped, his eyes clenched shut as he started to flap his wings when his feet were no longer on the ground.

It took a moment for the other to open his eyes as his wings were beating in a rhythmic patteren. Adrenalin filled the bird's body, he was flying! But just like a twoleg learns to ride their first bi wheeled monster without their parents help they either do one of two things. Continue riding or panic and end up falling over. With a few seconds of flying the other was easily overwhelms and ended up only flying a few feet before falling to his doom. " [b]Well that happened"[/b][/justify]
