Without thinking, you spread your wings and kick off the ground. Only after you clear a good twenty feet into the air and feel the breeze on your skin do you realize that you are flying. You merely formulated the intent and things followed naturally. You passed straight through the roof of the shed without affecting it.

You circle back to get a look at the farm from above. The main house had suffered immense trauma; you can see there is a gaping hole in the roof, and the rooms on the upper floor are scrambled. Even if Elia isn’t crippled, she hasn’t got a safe home any longer. Do you still want to abandon her?

If you wish to double down and are more worried about harming her yourself than any injury she has already, turn to 87. If you choose to go back on your initial decision, turn to 215.
