Chapter 62 Dizzy Zero

"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 const.i.tution 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.
