Since I'd always been told that swimming during storms was dangerous, I decided to risk flying to find Moonsong. I could still faintly smell her aura coming from across the lake, so I raised my wings, flapped once, and took off. I had briefly considered waiting for the others, but figured that, against Leon, I basically stood almost as good a chance on my own.

I flew as hard as I could, the wind buffeting me this way and that as I tried my best to fly in a straight line. I sort of wondered where everyone else was, but I couldn't spare much attention to the question.

Suddenly, a voice reached my ears through the sounds of wind and thunder. "Having some trouble?"
