Escaping Neverland
“I hadn’t seen the Captain since before he’d left for the battle with the fae and didn’t know if he knew that I’d tried to abort the mission.
Not knowing if the Captain knew made me nervous.
After dropping a screwdriver twice, I finally put it down on my work bench and sat down.
The Captain sat across from me, flipping through the new book of drawings I had completed the night before. After finishing up the ground transport, I was moving on to helicopters. They were easy to draw, since I already... knew what made up a helicopter, and I’d been able to make a number of improvements, my magic showing me the easiest way. After seeing the slaughter of the fae the day before, the designs no longer felt like magic on the page. I no longer grinned when one of my creations took its first step.
Instead, I shuddered, imagining what it would be used for and how many people it would kill.
I’d tried to excuse my guilt by pointing out to myself that the fae weren’t human, but I’d seen how the little fairies cried when one of their own died.MoreLess
