Eon hadn’t planned to use his wings, just as Enya had advised. He needed to start relying more on his feet in case he ever found his wings injured and unusable. Additionally, flying directly to the bank on the other side of the ice would take away all the fun of the journey. So, he focused on keeping his balance on the ice. He moved slowly but, at least for now, he hadn’t fallen—yet.
However, his plans changed when he heard his name being called. His head perked up, and his eyes scanned the lake until he spotted that Enya had fallen. She was far enough away that sliding over to her would take too long, so he decided to spread his wings to glide and cover the distance more quickly. When he reached her, he was relieved to see her laughing, which meant she likely hadn’t injured herself.
Eon landed beside her, assessing how to help her back onto her feet. His gaze wandered around the lake until it landed on a tree branch that had fallen under the weight of the snow. “Hold on,” he said, spreading his wings once again and fluttering toward the branch.
Fortunately, the branch wasn’t too big or heavy, and he hoped it would be sturdy enough to help Enya stand. He picked it up in his claws and dragged it back toward her. Holding the branch in a diagonal position above her, he encouraged her to grab onto it, hoping she could use it to pull herself back to her paws.
