Ball of Nothing - Chapter 62
Chapter 62
"Flying is a very high level magic . Without good control, it is very difficult . However, there is an easier method and that is to work on your sense of balance . If you can turn very quickly on the spot ten times and walk on this line steadily without falling or going off it, I can teach you the trick . "
Zero nodded and started spinning as fast as he could . Truen filmed it secretly and chuckled when Zero fell over after the fourth round .
Dizzy but not willing to give up, Zero continued . The elf continued to film in secret, occasionally giving Zero some pointers . Initially the brunet was full of determination, getting up each time he fell . However, after an hour, he flopped on the ground in exhaustion, unable to get up again .
"How is this more tiring than teleporting in the void?"
Truen chuckled . While it was true that Zero possessed some frightening abilities, his constitution was still that of a child .
"Don't worry about it . You'll get better with more practice . Remember not to overdo it, we don't want you vomiting and feeling ill . "
Zero pouted and conceded . He felt queasy after turning and falling for an hour . "Is it really possible to do this?"
The elf smiled . Without another word, Truen spun ten times on the same spot and walked perfectly on a straight line with any signs of wobble in his step . Zero clapped in amazement .
"That's awesome!"
Truen smiled and ruffled Zero's hair . "You can do it too with practice . However that's enough practice for today . Do you want to try flying with me?"
Zero's eyes sparkled as he jumped with joy . Truen grinned and conjured a fluffy pink sheep .
"Be sure to strap tight . I don't want you to fall off and injure yourself . "
Zero nodded and complied obediently . He was excited to fly and didn't care that the mount was a fluffy pink sheep . Truen took multiple pictures of the adorable sight from different angles . Zero decided to pat the fluffy wool and play with it while Truen made 'preparations' . After a while, Truen got on behind Zero . With a wave of his hand, they lifted off the ground and into the air .
The sheep floated higher and higher until Zero was in the clouds .
"Is this where all the water gather before they become rain?"
"Very good, you remembered! Yes, it is . Unfortunately, you can't eat the clouds or jump on it . You can if you create a cloud using magic but that is a lesson for another time . "
Zero sulked for a moment but cheered up quickly once they rose above the clouds . Now that they were high up in the sky and flying, Zero decided to look down .
Truen thought that Zero might be afraid of heights but that didn't happen . Instead, the brunet gushed on excitedly about how he could see everything .
"Look! The trees are so tiny! Is this Endow Hill? Wait, what is that over there?"
Truen squinted to where Zero was pointing . It was a very tiny house in the middle of the forest with a small clearing . He was amazed how Zero could spot it from this distance . Even with elven eyes, Truen had some difficulty seeing it .
"It looks like somebody's house . "
Zero nodded . "Can we visit them tomorrow?"
Truen smiled . "Sure . Are you ready to fly now?"
The child turned to look at Truen with a surprised expression . "Are we not flying already?"
The elf grinned sinisterly . "Not even close . Hold on tight, it's going to be a ride you'll never forget!"
Having said that, the gentle sheep transformed into a reckless ram and starting charging at full speed . Zero was taken aback but screamed with joy as the wind rushed through his hair .
It wasn't until Truen made the ram run upside down and zip through the air that those screams transformed into one of slight terror .
