Seeing the sun begin it's descent into the trees, Iliana clapped her hands together to get everyone's attention. "Alright class, let's bring them in," she announced.
Regardless of the uncomfortableness of standing while incredibly pregnant, it had been a GREAT class and she was full of smiles that afternoon.
By now Arya was flying high, well as high as they were allowed to go but she wasn't complaining. She and her thestral were going full speed in the air, swirving through the trees and high over the students. The thestral seemed to know that she could see him and was carefull not to make any sharp turns so she wouldn't fall off. Arya however was not the least bit worried about falling off, she knew how to ride and didn't think there was much of a diffrence besides the fact that she couldn't see him and they were in the air.
Occasionally the two would stop admire the view in the air, looking down on the other students and futher into the forrest at the creatures running around. They were taking fast another lap around the paddock when she heard Lady Lawson. A small frown crossed her face, she was really enjoying herself and didn't want to stop.
"A few more laps boy, then we'll land." She whispered to the thestral, and a few more laps they took. On the last lap he began to slow down and came closer to the ground until they touched but didn't stop, just cantered around some.
And finally they came to a stop. Slowly sliding off the thestral, she removed her helmet and stroked the creature gently on what felt like his muzzle.
"It was fun boy, but now I have to go. Maybe we'll get to ride together again someday." She kissed him on his muzzle and skipped over to the Lawsons, running her hand threw her hair to ride herself of helmet hair.
"See ya latter Lawsons. Loved the lesson! So much better than flying a broom." Arya hugged them both then placed her helmet in the box before skipping back towards the castle.
