Mind flew on, his wings pumping, and he suddenly realized that each whOOOSh of his wings brought him seconds closer to Celestial, who was likely already at camp. He hadn't seen her in years... no, his internal timeline had reminded him that it had only been two months since their last encounter. It certainly felt like far longer than that.

Mind rose over the mountain to bear witness to the beautiful canyon that stood between him and Camp Virtue. It was the same canyon that could be viewed from the balcony of His and Celestial's private cabin. It was more glamorous at sunset, but even in midday it was a breathtaking sight. As he neared the camp, he saw Innocence and Astrum meeting. He instantly took in a sharp breath. He couldn't let them see him- not yet, anyway. He dove down into the canyon as fast as he could, and found a large cave which extended back into the rock face at least 30 meters. He stashed the large sack in a crevice, and stood up, stretching his aching back muscles. It felt so good to relieve himself of that stress.

Mind exited the cave and blasted out of the canyon at speeds he wouldn't have been able to attain a six months ago. His cape billowed behind him as he flew over Camp Virtue.
