Aikon jumped out of bed and hugged her then lay down again, pulling his blanket over his head. Slowly, ever so slowly he pulled down his blanket until his black, mussed up hair appeared, then his forehead, then his wide-open brown and grinning eyes emerged. Matica watched his act until he stopped pulling.

ou dream about flying on Talon? Real flying? Like flying high over the trees and over the mountains?’
Matica nodded.
‘Really, really flying, then?’
‘Oh, yeah!’ Her face lit up like a hundred watt light bulb. ‘Oh, yeah!’
Excited now, he sat up, his feet touching the ground. ‘Didn’t I tell you last night: sweet flying dreams?’
‘Yes, you did,’ she said, rolling her eyes joyfully, then she bent over and kissed his cheek. ‘Thanks for telling me that. It worked.’
As Aikon waited for her to tell him about her dream, she threw herself with spread-out arms on her bed. A triumphant grin played around her lips. ‘Humph.’
‘Is that all I’m getting? Humph? No more?’ Aikon was visibly disappointed.
