moment Tyler sighed, “They may have been discovered by the Destroyer Fleet and were forced to flee.”
    “What does that mean for us?”
    Tyler looked back at the city and saw red lights appearing. “What do those red lights mean?”
    Olivia looked back and said, “Escaped slaves.” She stared at the lights for a moment and looked up at Tyler, “How did you manage to keep Gren quiet?” Tyler didn’t respond and Olivia saw his expression. She turned back and looked down at the ocean. She didn’t ask him again and he didn’t tell her. Tyler turned the glider out to sea and gained altitude. They flew for an hour and Olivia quietly said, “We’re going to die, aren’t we?”
    “I considered turning back to the city but I can’t risk them getting their hands on this glider. If they caught us, we’d be thrown over the wall without weapons. If I’m going to die, I’d prefer it be out here.”
    “You could have lied about it.”
    “I’m sorry, Olivia. That’s not something I do. If I can’t tell the truth, I just remain silent.”
    “And silence to my question would have been an answer.”
    Tyler nodded, “Yes, it would.”
    “So what are you going to do?”
    “I’m going to continue flying as far as I can.” Tyler pulled a cord on the gliders control bar and a propeller popped up on top of the glider. Tyler pushed a button on a black box attached to the control arm and the propeller started spinning at fifteen thousand rpms. The glider leapt forward and Tyler said, “Maybe I can catch them if the battery holds out.”
    Olivia saw the ocean moving quickly below them and hoped he was right.

    Twelve hours passed and the propeller began slowing. Tyler sighed and pulled the cord flipping it back flat against the top of the glider. He reached forward and twisted a handle on the battery. He pulled it out and the battery fell off the control arm toward the ocean. Olivia felt their speed slow and looked up at him, “I guess we’re not going to make it.”
    Tyler looked into her eyes and nodded. He looked out ahead of them and saw a large Pterodactyl in the distance. He loved watching them fly. He stared at it and after a moment said, “It’s not flapping its wings.”
    “What?”
    Tyler ripped his head cover off and the Pterodactyl disappeared. That wasn’t a Pterodactyl. He dropped the nose of the glider and it picked up speed as it moved toward the distant object.

    Rory felt his glider starting to slow down. The last battery was losing power and he was going to have to turn around and head for the ship. He shook his head and started banking to head back. He looked to the east and saw something in the distance. He whipped the glider back and took off his head cover. The object disappeared. “THANK GOD!” He started circling and saw the object growing larger. He turned and began flying toward the Storm Chaser. He waved and saw Tyler wave back. He felt a huge weight fall off his spirit. Johnathan had suggested that they take shifts flying back behind the ship to see if Tyler showed up. They had to use the batteries to fly against the wind and this was the last flight they would have been able to make. He flew for ninety minutes and saw the ship moving through the waves at half sail. He brought the glider in and landed on the stern of the large ship. Johnathan helped him land and Rory yelled, “Tyler is right behind me and he’s not alone!”
    Johnathan yelled and Rory shouted, “Get some more men up here. We’re going to need to help him land on the ship!”
    Tyler followed Rory and saw the Storm Chaser in the distance. Olivia saw it as well and looked up at him, “I pray that is the ship you’re looking to find.”
    “It is.”
    “It looks very much like a Destroyer Warship.”
    “We took it from them.” Olivia smiled and Tyler said, “We’ve actually taken more than a hundred and forty ships from them.”
    Olivia looked up at him and smiled, “I think I understand
