Mountain girl, lift up your eyes,

The stars are shining bright for thee.

I don’t sing the words this time, but I feel them—let them roll through me as the horses begin to gallop. I am a mountain girl. I am born to fly. And this flight will change everything.

The sound of horse hooves pounding the ground echoes like thunder through my chest. Ahead of me, I see a few horses jumping into flight: Honor Tumbrel, then his friends, then Greer and the boys from Coal Top.

Steady. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Iggy watching everyone fly away. Her arms are wrapped tight around her tiny chest, as if she’s trying to give herself a hug.

Leo is leaping already. Aching to be airborne. I’m aching, too. I keep him steady for a while longer, but I can already feel the sky calling to me, pulling me up into its wind. Riders are already far ahead of us in the sky, disappearing specks in the haze.

I tap my heels against Leo’s sides.
