Chapter 308 A Green Peafowl
She spent some time finishing the paintings of Akio and the other birds. She then looked at the paintings hanging in the studio. After dwelling on it for a while, she scanned all the paintings into her phone to form pictures of equal ratios.
The thunderstorm gradually stopped. The sun finally came out of the cloud.
The sky cleared after the rain. Besides, the sky appeared like it was washed. It looked clearer now.
After asking Joshua, Nancy learned that Gage would start to learn how to fly after growing a bit more.
Nancy paid special attention to that. She went there to inspect Gage's feathers every day and to interact with Joshua.
But before Gage did so, the four swans had started to learn how to fly. Other than going to school, Nancy spent most of her time on the farm, staying with them while they learned how to fly. Soon the four swans successfully learned how to fly briefly. Moreover, they liked to fly in the pond, paddling their webbed feet in the pond.
But Gage still could not do that. It could not fly at even such a low place.
Joshua said, "Birds of prey like eagers can only learn to fly on high cliffs."
Nancy was struck speechless.
That was just too hard for her.
"You should have come to me about this."
Louis knew that Nancy was trying to teach her birds how to fly recently. When he went home after school, he pinched Nancy's chubby cheeks.
"I know a place that is suitable for them to learn how to fly. What's more, I can teach them myself. But you can't tell Dad and the others, not even Marcus."
Nancy was confused.
After that, Nancy, Adam, and the birds were taken to a very high cliff.
Nancy just took a glance while standing in the wind before she retreated endlessly with Gage in her arms.
"Bro... Brother, this place is so high!"
It looked so frightening.
"It's fine. You can let me hold Gage."
As he was talking, he took out a paragliding backpack from the SUV.
"There's a pond down there, and I've got this. I can take Gage with me to feel how it's like flying in the air."
"Don't worry, sis. We're very familiar with how this works."
Several of Louis's roommates, Tod, Kyle, and Edward also came along.
"But..."
Nancy was still very worried. Her delicate face was filled with a conflicted expression. It looked very dangerous.
But Adam was very interested. "Bro... Can you bring me along?"
"Shoo!" Louis turned his brother down. He then fixed Gage in a sack in his arms.
"You've to trust your brother."
Louis wore professional black clothes with a handsome black helmet. He then made a handsome gesture at his sister before he jumped off the cliff.
Nancy was so frightened that her heartbeat quickened. She then ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down anxiously. But Kyle hugged her.
"Don't run around. You might fall off the cliff."
The youth tapped her on the head. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Oh," said Nancy lightly. She then hugged his arms with slight anxiety. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her brother's paraglider floating in the air with the wind. It then slowly glided toward the distance.
"Nancy, don't worry!"
Sitting on the paraglider, Louis greeted the girl on the cliff with his back against her. The wind brought his slightly muffled voice. Nancy then revealed a smile.
Flying in the air was very exciting.
Louis liked that kind of dangerous sport. If it would not scare his family members, he yearned to learn wingsuit flying. That was a truly exciting sport. But it was also very dangerous.
The cry of an animal was heard.
Gage became slightly excited in Louis's arms. It fluttered its wings to try flying. But it could not do anything at the moment because its body was fixed there. It could only look down at the scenery with sharp and bright eagle eyes.
"Kyle, watch over Nancy and Adam. We'll join them."
Both Tod and Edward also put on their paragliding backpacks. They then spread their arms out and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to experience flying high?"
Adam raised his hand. "Me! Me! Me!"
Tod shot a sidelong glance at him. "Only for small animals."
Adam was struck speechless.
He exclaimed inwardly, "Humph! Like I care! I'll learn it when I grow up!"
Nancy carried Cloudy and Flora before she handed them to the two young men.
She looked at them eagerly. "Let Cloudy and Flora try it too. Tod, Edward, be careful."
Peafowls could not fly. But both Cloudy and Flora would be very happy if they were allowed to experience that briefly.
"Got it."
They smiled and rubbed the girl's soft hair. They then fixed the two birds well before they jumped off the cliff.
Then after Gage, the two peacocks also got to experience flying in the air. They were over the moon. Not only were they not afraid, but they also fluttered their wings to try flying just like Gage.
"Come. Let's go down the mountain to wait for them."
Kyle then went down the mountain with the two children and four swans in the SUV.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Louis had landed safely with Gage.
The moment they landed, Gage flapped its wings, yearning to fly but failing.
Nancy hugged Gage and caressed its feathers. "Gage, no rush. We can learn slowly."
Gage whimpered briefly before it put away its wings and quieted down.
The other two people also landed with the peafowls one by one.
The two peafowls cried excitedly. It appeared like they wanted to experience that again.
Rome was not built in a day. It was the same with learning how to fly. Louis was only free to take them there on the weekends to experience and learn how to fly. They wanted to wait until Gage's feathers were fully grown and it could fly with its body. Then they wanted to see Gage fly on its own.
Nancy was no longer able to carry such a large gyrfalcon. Besides, its claws were too sharp. Her family members prohibited her from hugging it.
Gage dragged its wings along. It had grown into a very handsome and gigantic gyrfalcon, a top hunter that was about to fly and hunt on its own.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Nancy touched its wings.
"Gage, don't fly far. If you lose control, just fall into the pond."
She was extremely nervous, much more nervous than Gage that was about to fly.
Gage rubbed its head against her hand gently, consoling her.
It then walked to a stone on the cliff. As the king of the sky, the gyrfalcon stood with its head up and chest out. Even though it was the first time for Gage to fly on its own, all of its feathers seemed to be filled with confidence.
Kyle, Tod, and Edward stood beside the pond below the cliff with protective pads just in case.
Without any hesitation, Gage spread its wings and jumped off the cliff that was more than 30-story high. Louis was holding Nancy. At that moment, she grabbed his clothes nervously, sticking her head out, and looked down eagerly with her clear eyes.
Gage screamed.
With the magnificent peal, Gage spread its seven-foot wings and very soon steadied its body by relying on the strong wind in the air.
After the initial anxiety and a brief period of getting used to it, Gage thoroughly showcased the advantage of the king in the sky. It learned how to fly just once. Besides, it even flew in a circle before it flew back to them.
Nancy widened her eyes excitedly. Even her childish voice became a high-pitched exclamation. "Brother, look. Gage... Gage can fly now. It's flying to us!"
Louis broke into a smile, caressing Nancy's soft hair.
"Hmm, I saw that."
His eyes were filled with confidence and pride, just like Gage's.
This was the bird he taught how to fly.
Gage flew back to Louis and others. The girl ran over and hugged that large magnificent bird.
"Gage, you're so awesome! You learned it just once!"
Gage rubbed its head against Nancy's neck intimately.
After a brief meeting, it jumped off the cliff again. It only landed at the edge of the pond until it felt that its wings had started to be filled with fatigue.
The flying practice for that day was over.
Nancy could not wait to share that piece of good news with her family members and Joshua. She even recorded a video and sent it to them as if she was proudly showing off her child.
Ugh... Or, should she say that it was her younger brother?
