Turning my gaze upwards, I left Nunami and its troubles behind me and looked ahead to my promised land, and though it was barren and devoid of any significant foliage, it still held something equally dear to me as landscape: safety. The wind currents were strong and my speed was about 30 miles per hour. Great expanses of grassland sped by below me like the memories of yesteryear, and within half an hour I found myself over the ocean. TURNING MY GAZE UPWARDS I LEFT NEW NAMI AND ITS TROUBLES BEHIND ME AND LOOKED AHEAD TO MY PROMISED LAND AND THOUGH IT WAS BARREN AND DEVOID OF ANY SIGNIFICANT FOLIAGE IT STILL HELD SOMETHING EQUALLY DEAR TO ME AS LANDSCAPE SAFETY THE WIND CURRENTS WERE STRONG AND MY SPEED WAS ABOUT THIRTY MILES PER HOUR GREAT EXPANSES OF GRASS LAND SPED BY BELOW ME LIKE THE MEMORIES OF YESTERYAR AND WITHIN HALF AN HOUR I FOUND MYSELF OVER THE OCEAN
ince 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. 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. N 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 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
