Free to Fly

The Ravenmaster's Secret by Elvira Woodruff

Though Tuck was the same blue-black coloring as the Royal ravens, he was smaller, and because he was wild, his wings were not clipped. He was free to fly where he wished, which was usually as close to Forrest as he could get.
The Ravenmaster’s Secret by Elvira Woodruff

Startled

This is Not a Werewolf Story by Sandra Evans

New kid. New kid. The words fly around the showers and sinks. I can almost see them, flying up like chickadees startled from the holly tree in the woods.

Be the Music

“Something was still missing. Controlling the plane, Nashville couldn’t help but feel what a conductor must feel using a baton to direct a symphony. But Nashville didn’t want to conduct the music. Nashville wanted to be the music. He wanted to tap-dance across the notes of the page, to visit each black circle on the sheet music like a hummingbird visits each flower. He wanted to fly.” –BEYOND THE LAUGHING SKY by Michelle Cuevas

Grand Scale

“A smear of color coated the starry vault from the celestial North Pole to the horizon, pale green and delicate pink, gossamer-sheer and scintillating. It reminded Anastasia of the oil rainbows that sometimes slick parking lot puddles, but on a gobsmackingly grand scale.” –THE WITCH'S GLASS by Holly Grant
