Fly Like an Eagle (Summer Writing Contest Entry)

Chapter 1: Fly
Flight. A human's dream, and a bird's life. Wings made it possible to fly away from your troubles, and leave them on the ground. Enchanted flew higher and higher, feeling the wind in her feathers. Jamaa grew smaller and smaller below her, until it seemed like a doll's city.

Enchanted spread her wings as wide as possible and flew away from Jamaa. Higher. Further. Closing her eyes, she breathed in unfamiliar air. Watching the ground below for a place to land, Enchanted wondered if other animals dreamt of flying. Eventually she found a tropical rainforest, and decided to rest there. She circled the jungle, scanning the land for a gap.

''Aha! ''She thought, spotting a waterfall. Water and ''a gorgeous place to rest! ''Suddenly, she felt herself falling. Enchanted flapped her wings uselessly. "Why can't I fly? Hang on... How do I fly? Oh no! I forgot how to fly!" she screeched. Fortunately, water was directly below her.

Chapter 2: A Tiger's Friendship
Splash! Enchanted landed in the water. "Is the water cold enough for ya?" A voice called nearby. Shivering, Enchanted rose to the surface and looked around. "Hello? Who was that? Show yourself!" She yelled. A large figure rose from the bush right in front of her, and Enchanted found herself looking into the face of a tiger.

"Eek! T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-" Enchanted gasped, scared of the big cat.

"T-t-tiger?" He finished for her. "You lost? Why don't you just fly? Hang on... Why do you look like a cartoon?" Enchanted looked at him, embarrassed. "I kinda, maybe, sorta... Forgot how to fly. While I was in mid-air." The tiger burst out laughing. An eagle who forgot how to fly! Wow! "Not funny." The white and blue eagle mumbled. "Hey, do you know where a place called "Jamaa" is? This weird blue crane thing asked me to go there."

"I live there! But... I am lost." Enchanted said. "Wait, I never got your name. Mine is Enchanted. Your name is?" "George. Hey, why don't we go to Jamaa together!?" George exclaimed. Enchanted agreed, and they set off towards where they guessed Jamaa was.
