Flying through the sky

[Briar Rowan-Cullen]

this weekend was a brightstone weekend, when most students used the two days to to into the village or across to the mall and shop or meet friends and family outside the school briar used these rare times of freedom to explore the land beyond the walls of the castle. she had woken up early that day and quickly dressed grabbed her broom and headed down to the kitchen where she had loaded her bag with enough food for the day (which for her was quite a lot) as she ate a lot and she was usually one of the first to leave and last to return. once she was packed she then ran out of the castle and down the drive her dreadlocks trailing behind her like a banner as she ran. as soon as she reached the gate she mounted her broom and sped off over the village, she was lucky that the school was in a purely wizarding area (with possibly the odd squib, but there was no secrets to be kept from them) as she would not be able to do this if it wasn't. within a couple of minutes at the top speed on the scarlet streak the houses were far behind her and the mountains were looming in front. she flicked back her head and let out a sound what was half whoop, and half laugh, and pure enjoyment, she never got to go this fast for this long in the grounds. she went up the side of the mountain slowing slightly as she was low and needed to dodge trees an boulders but she was still going a lot faster than most would have dared. when she was at the top she spiralled up a bit further before rocketing over to the next mountain to descend.

Dederick Micheal Cullen fled Drumstrang after his weekend with the boys ended with him getting into more trouble and his therapy session at St.Mungos was dragging the boy down, truly he felt it was waste time to come here for nothing. Every other week he was wasting his time with a woman who be little him and treated him like an arrogant bast@rd he already knew he was. So instead of playing the guessing game with Jucinda for the last time, Cullen went on his own adventure, that involved his broomstick and a flack filled with his own personal brew. He fought against traveling the town, to many muggels cut through the Harbor, so he at last settle for the wild field of the mountain. His broom, an old scarlet took him where no muggel can travel unless they like the cold air and atmosphere wasn't normal where he flew. He kept at a higher level, but away from the mountain top. He wasn't looking anywhere else but in front of him, so it didn't came to his attention, there was someone else here chasing the wind like him.

briar saw that she wasn't the only one up flying in the mountains. she didn't think that it would be an adult and she knew most of the students at the school who were into flying, so she flew over to him to see who it was. too late he realised that he wasn't anyone he knew. he seemed a little bit older than her. either seventh year or just graduated. she decided a little compony may be nice, so she flew over to him. "Hey there, fancy a bit of company? I'm Briar" she called hopeing that he could hear him through the wind. sometimes flying was more fun if you did it with someone else so long as they were as fast and daring as you, this boy seemed to be both.

Cullen twisted his head around and saw a girl flying towards him. He slow down on his broom stick, the wind was light so no threats of being haul over would penetrate him from falling. "Hey, umm Briar? I'm Dederick" in a lighter mood, he shrug his shoulders. "Yeah sure, do you know where we can land? You know a place to chill?" he flew higher above her, both hands lock around his broomsticks, Dederick not afraid heights, it's more what happens if he falls, that was his flaw in flying. He could fly great, almost professional status, it was just falling and where that crept the seventeen year old out of his wits. And he denies it to anyone, that notice.

briar saw the boy slow down and realised that she may have met someone up her after all. "Nice meet you Dederick, there is a good place to land just down there. a nice place to chill, if thats what you fancy" she said pointing towards a large exposed area of rock. "there isn't much else to land out here unless you want to land through the trees, or in water or in the village" she said before dropping a few feet and continuing forward. she loved flying, especially when she had space to go fast and hard. but she had plenty of time left today, most of the students probably hadn't even left the castle yet. It would be nice for her to meet spend a while with someone, and maybe she would get to know someone new. he seemed unusual which was a good thing.

 

[Dederick Cullen]

"Great" he said right after she pointed to the expose rock. He moved down on his broomstick and directed his attention in the said location. He went for a quick dive in the air, circle the rock once, before he made for a landing. The expose rock, high up on a cliff had the view of the mountains and woods, both in different direction. On the cliff, there was a whole set of forest behind him, he figured beyond that setting was a road where it lead back down to the village. Dederick set his broomstick down and with his wand started a fire amongst twigs and branches. He built it first before he set it ablaze. The fire flick and lick the fuel it was feeding off, with that going Dederick took out his flask, sip from it. He sat down and enjoy the heat warming him up, from the Autumn like weather.

Briar saw the Dederick take a dive for the rock and she slowed suit a couple of moments later diving then doing a loop the loop before landing. "Nice flying" she said taking some fed branches from the ground and adding it to the fire. she took her bottle out of her bag and took a sip of the water. she liked fire but sometimes the smoke made her throat dry especially after being away from it for a while. "do you want a pear? she said taking one out of her bag and wondering if she should toss him one.

 

[Dederick Cullen]

"Thanks, your pretty good yourself Briar" he commented, a grin appeared on his rough looking face. He shook his head no, declining the fruit. He much rather have a burger right now, instead of some fruits. "Maybe later we can get something to eat, fruit is not going to do anything to me" he said capping his flask, he pocketed right after. "So what kind of fun you do around here in New Zealand? You party or not?" he asked the strange looking girl as he loll right besides her. She was a weird looking girl, not Dederick's taste in girl at all, but she will do for company. After all he was a stranger to New Zealand, and with his new found freedom he wanted to get to know a whole bunch of peeps. Basically become acquainted, so he would feel less lonely, now that he really didn't give a poop bout boundaries anymore.

Briar nodded her head as he said that she was a good flyer "thanks" she said before taking a bite of her pear, it was sweet and juicy, and not too ripe. she smiled as he said that maybe later they would find something else to eat, as much as she liked fruit and the other stuff she normally ate she wouldn't say no to anything else as she was always hungry, a slight side effect of her quick metabolism and constant movement. "Well to be honest I am still at the school, but for fun i guess i fly. I have never been to a party, but i don't think that I will particularly enjoy it." she said sticking to the truth. she had never been to a party before except the schools halloween feasts and balls but she guessed that wasn't the sort of party that he meant. he was an odd boy there was something unusual in him but she wasn't sure exactly what, but she did know that he was rather rebellious, and seemed somehow older like he had seen things he shouldn't.

Gawd he's been having bad luck running into virgins all the time. He expressed his annoyance, by turning his attention elsewhere, there was nothing else to do. All his friends, well the four of his close friends, were hardly around him. Magnus been M.I.A, since that day they had fun with that odd looking bloke Aiden. Both made zero contact with him since he left school. He was living a pathetic life now and it was the beginning of it, he sought it to be very useless. "Than what else is there to around here?" he was starting to think going to see his therapist everyday a lot more fun than the real world. Least I get to mess around with Jucinda's head, he much rather be there now, it would displease her, but he could always blame it on his feelings. She'd go crazy for that! Anything will do, for a little bit of entertainment in his life, perhaps he was going to miss his poop hell of a school after all.

 

[Briar Rowan-Cullen]

Briar looked across the landscape, she could just about make out a few people starting to trickle out of the school ready for a day of shopping or meeting up with family. she was also trying to suss the boy out. by his next question she had an idea of what he wanted. "you could always catch the mall ferry to Makatu mall, there is a club there if that is more your thing" she said finishing off her pear and throwing the core into the fames. the flames from the core went briefly blue then it was gone back to normal orange. "so where are you from? I haven't seen you around before" she said, she was pretty sue most of the locals went to her school, and although she hadn't known many of the older students she was pretty sure that she would recognise someone as being one if she met them.

 

[Dederick Cullen]

"Oh really? Thanks, I'm go check it out than" he took a sip of his flask and remain relax in his pose sitting position. "That's cause I'm not from around here, if you hadn't notice is the reason why I've been asking you question" he kick the dirt near his shoes and sighed. "Up north, I came to seek adventure, just graduated from school and so far it's been a load of poop out here in the real world" he drain on. "What about you? Why a girl like you is here alone? In the mountains, running away from something?" he asked her, seem like innocent question anyways. Least in his perspective girls never went to the mountain, except if they were lonely and had no many friends like him.

 

[Briar Rowan-Cullen]

briar was glad that she guessed what the boy wanted to hear. she had never been to the club before, she had never thought it as being her scene. "yeah, there will be extra ferries there this weekend because its a brightstone weekend. which means that the students have the weekend off to go to either brightstone or the mall" she said. when he said that he was from up north she wondered how far north he meant,, she didn't ask though as she didn't really need to know. "no I'm not running from anything, It is more i love speed and the school is to small to go fast enough for long enough. so i go flying over the mountains when i can." she said. she had always enjoyed speed running or flying they were the same to her.

 

[Dederick Cullen]

"Oh I see, cool. Yeah I really don't fly that much" he look away out towards the mountain. The view was incredible, everything seem enormous up here. Just a shame he wanted to leave already and check the mall out for a while. For a werewolf, he really much dislike the outdoors when he wasn't near a full moon. He suspected he like the woods on stray night, but it was day and freaking cold out. "I think I'll head for the village, it's been a pleasure mate" he got up and retrieve his broom. Flying down gonna be hell, he'll have to deal no matter. He got on his broom and directed, with a few gesture he took for the skies and headed for he village.

 

[Briar Rowan-Cullen]

Briar nodded. "i know many people who don't like it but the speed it's what makes it worth it" she said. she watched as he mounted his broom. "good meeting you too" she said watching him fly towards the village. typical twohoof didn't think of putting out the fire. she waved her wand and jets of water flew out of it. when she was certain she had but the whole fire out then she mounted her broom again and took to the sky, speeding around the mountaintops once again.
