"I would like the accompaniment, thank you," Xaphania said, gracious for the offer. She smiled, thinking of how she could explain where she was from. "I'm from a flying mountain," she said, thinking of the Clouded Mountain. How many eons had she been unallowed to call it home and now she could return? "There's nothing really majestic about it. Nothing like the anbaric power and road-transportation you have here. It was heaven."
She smiled again and tried to imagine the light of the sun on her wings when she was younger and standing overlooking the great earth below. But her human body and her human skin couldn't have any concept of it, so it remained a memory.
