[Champion Teaser] "To Fly Again..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxGJZExKnSk
The young boy was lost in his tears, trying to rest in an embankment at the far corner of the courtyard, as the other children played. A maiden passing by saw him and came to his side, blacked snow crunched response. The edges of his eyes were salted from tears, he recoiled at her touch.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m not strong enough”, the boy said frustrated. His eyes followed the kids as they played. He stared down at his crippled legs. “Mom would say I was strong. Strongest there is, like the stories of Braum. But…I guess that’s what they were just stories.”
The boy gave a hoarse cough. The maiden could see now he was a sickly child.
“My grandmother used to tell me stories…”
The boy eyes lit up in interest. He struggled to set up straight, the maiden helped prop him up, “she used to tell me all kinds of stories. The Three Sisters—“
“And Braum?”
“Yes even him.” She smiled. “But have you ever heard the story about the prince from above the clouds?”
The boy laughed, “A prince? In the sky?"
“Yes I know, too silly for a grown boy like you?” ”, the maiden’s tone shifted. “But I met him.”
“But how? He must not be good at flying”, the boy jested.
“He fell from the sky”, the maiden offered. “Crippled for a long time; thought he would never fly, never see his family again."
The boy, lost in thought, leaned into her and she gave him a warm hug.
"Did he ever fly again?"
