Flying away

Dreams of flying haunted a young and dutiful foot soldier. Every day she yearned for the freedom to soar above the dreary earth. Whispers of a winged creature living in a magical fire reached her, so she traveled far into the northeastern reaches of Redbl until she found its lair. Fearful though it was, she silently begged the beast to reveal its secret. Jump into the flames! it seemed to say. She jumped.
