The King, Wagner, and Bernibus could just barely be seen amongst the crowds that had dashed out of doors to see what was going on, and I could tell that Bernibus was smiling at my escape as he looked at my wind sailor a thousand feet in the air. A friend who rejoices in your advancement, even at his own cost, is rare indeed. BUT KING WAGNER AND BURNABAS COULD JUST BARELY BE SEEN AMONGST THE CROWDS THAT HAD DASHED OUT OF DOORS TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND I COULD TELL THAT BURNABAS WAS SMILING AT MY ESCAPE AS HE LOOKED AT MY WINDSAILOR A THOUSAND FEET IN THE AIR A FRIEND WHO REJOICES IN YOUR ADVANCEMENT EVEN AT HIS OWN COST IS RARE INDEED
ust at that instant I landed on it, for I had jumped right after it. I hit with a thud and felt the craft bounce downwards a little as I hit, but it soon regained its stability and sped on through the air as behind me I heard a great crashing sound. I pulled the left wing down and the glider began to turn in that direction. Since I had launched into the opposite direction of the mainland, I needed to wheel around completely, and as such I held the wing down until I had done an about face towards the east. What I saw was a striking picture: the sun had just begun to rise, and under the influence of its soft textures the city of Nunami looked as it had before: quaint, picturesque, and inviting. But there was a great difference now, for the tower itself had completely collapsed under the momentum, and its ruins had fallen down upon the Temple of Time, demolishing it and leaving only ruins. It had also fallen on a strip of the city, taking with it several buildings and leaving only rubble. P TO A STABLE SORE AND JUST AT THAT INSTANT I LANDED ON IT FOR I JUMPED RIGHT AFTER IT I HIT WITH A THUD AND FELT THE CRAFT BOUNCE DOWNWARDS A LITTLE AS I HIT BUT IT SOON REGAINED ITS STABILITY AND SPED ON THROUGH THE AIRS BEHIND ME I HEARD A GREAT CRASHING SOUND I PULLED THE LEFT WING DOWN AND THE GLIDER BEGAN TO TURN IN THAT DIRECTION SINCE I HAD LAUNCHED INTO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE MAINLAND I NEEDED TO WHEEL AROUND COMPLETELY AND AS SUCH I HELD THE WING DOWN UNTIL I HAD DONE IN A BOUT FACE TOWARDS THE EAST WHAT I SAW WAS A STRIKING PICTURE THE SUN HAD JUST BEGUN TO RISE AND UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ITS SOFT TEXTURES THE CITY OF NU NAMI LOOKED AS IT HAD BEFORE QUAINT PICTURESQUE AND INVITING BUT THERE WAS A GREAT DIFFERENCE NOW FOR THE TOWER ITSELF HAD COMPLETELY COLLAPSED UNDER THE MOMENTUM AND ITS RUINS HAD FALLEN DOWN UPON THE TEMPLE AT TIME DEMOLISHING IT AND LEAVING ONLY RUINS IT HAD ALSO FALLEN ON A STRIP OF THE CITY TAKING WITH IT SEVERAL BUILDINGS AND LEAVING ONLY RUBBLE
