I woke up from my slumber. filled with an energy i had never felt before. I rise through the misty air, accelerating towards the heavens, when suddenly my ascension is halted due to a thin piece of twine tethered to my base. I remained fixed in that same position for what seemed to be an eternity, when suddenly the weight holding me back disappeared and I resumed flying upwards towards my destiny. as the fresh breeze gently brushed against my side, for the first time I felt like I was free.
