Chapter 7

Bursting out of the clouds, cruising just feet over the trees on a hilltop, the ground below Han dropped away revealing a waterfall. A flock of birds rose from the trees and veered from the strange creature disturbing their slumber.

Han’s flight path brought him out of the mountains toward the largest lake in the region. Lifting his gaze from the waterfall and river below him, he saw the glimmering waters of Angel Lake. From his angle, the water looked blue-green, but he knew close-up the water was clear and pure.

Pulling in his arms a little, Han tilted his body forward and gained speed by diving toward the ground. He arched his back and spread his limbs out and actually gained some altitude as his momentum lifted him up. He tucked in his right arm and rolled sideways through the air before leveling out again.

Minutes of steady cruising brought him past the shoreline of the lake. The body of water was so large he lost sight of the far edge to the horizon. This last bit of maneuvering would be tricky, he knew. His training had included a similar landing, albeit from a lower altitude and with less speed, but he felt a surge of excitement race through his body. The basic maneuver was the same regardless of his speed.

Han sped along, a mature pine’s height above the water, slowly losing altitude. A dark spot on the water in the distance hinted at the boat that awaited his arrival. Directly below him, Han caught glimpses of fish swimming in the clear water. He decided that Angel Lake was one of his favorite locations in Dagongshan, and seeing it from such height was something he knew few would ever experience and live to tell about it.

When he was within a few dozen feet of the water, Han spoke the word of power again, releasing the energy from the cloak. It went slack and whipped through the air like a flag in a cavalry charge. He plummeted toward the water, gathering his energy and pushing out a blast from his hands that slowed his descent to a relatively safe speed. A second before impact, Han formed a ball of energy, expanded it into a small orb, and pulled himself inside so he would not have to spend too much of his remaining energy.

He braced for impact.

The translucent orb smashed into the water with a brilliant flash of light. Han winced on instinct as the impact sent up a blast of water. There was no pain in his body as he sank beneath the surface. Master Yoshi’s technique had proved to be effective. He released the energy and the orb dissipated, cold glacial water rushing in to fill the void. The chill of Angel Lake nearly stole the breath from his lungs as he uncurled and began to swim to the surface.

The uniform he wore clung to his body, weighing him down as he swam. His head broke the surface of the lake and he sucked in a deep breath.
