THE WINGS OF TRUST
~Morris Martyr
It all began the day when Mrs, Claire brought in that boy from the Foster home,
He had a black hair with white clumps and he wore a black T-shirt and black Levi's and a white overshirt he looked like a 10 year old, One could say he is 12 at maximum he had voice of a child who had seen things. His eyes were black one could be lost in that pit of no return.
Mrs, Claire came to me saying meet your younger brother he is going to live with us from now on.
I Siled after hearing that looked at my new sibling who was hiding behind Mrs, Claire and he says with whimpering voice "My name is Victor' he gazed upon me while saying it with trembling eyes of hope
I greeted him and held his hands says "My name is Issac Claire you can call me big bro' and after saying this I dragged victor to the garden to play.
Mrs, Claire smiled looking at us playing she had suffered a lot her husband had left after knowing she can't bear any heirs and she only survived because of noble status in the society.
She was kind to everyone and she saved me from my abusive parents.
I owe a lot to her she is in her late-twenties, beautiful and smart. She was he owner of a small textile company. And no men could question her because she was a good friend of the queen Elvere the IV .
She loved kids and often visits the foster home to give the children treats.
A few days had passed since Victor arrived he had his own room just across mine but for some reason. He sleeps on the floor and gets nervous or startles even for a small sound even when we play together he hides when someone is near due to this odd behaviour we haven't gotten any friends.
I got up from my bed and walked towards the bath to freshen up for my hygiene and when I came back Vic was still sleeping I went to his room and shook him gently he woke up and soon as he opened his eyes his heart raised like he just saw the grim reaper.
I asked him to get a bath and brush his pearly whites but when he saw the water runs away I chased him around until made him brush his teeth and Mrs, Claire seeing this splashed a bucket of water on us saying now get ready fast break fast was ready.
We strode toward the dining room after getting dressed. Vic and I drooled ourself seeing the Food on the Table it was Mrs, Claire's special stew and some refined bread she bought from the factory.
It was soft fluffy almost melted in my mouth and the sweetness of the stew along with the small cinnamon's kick made us Transend to the realm of divine taste. We both went out to play and we saw a poster in the street from the Statesmen "WRIGHT BROTHERS EXECUTED THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT". WE got intrigued and kept reading "On December 17, 1903, Two brothers from Dayton Ohio, named Wilber and Orville Wright, were successful in flying the airplane they built."
After reading we looked at each other Victor exclaimed for first time ever since I met him "I wanna fly too like those flocks from America"
I was so happy hearing my brother speak. I promised him we fly together and we ran to Mrs, Claire holding the poster and we showed her the poster.
Mrs, Claire looked at us said "If you two scrawny little boys want to fly you two gotta study first" and we looked at her with puppy eyes because she is literate and studied at Oxford.
Mrs, Claire said "Fine, but first we don't have any right materials or enough money to afford engine to build one. Then she looked at the poster and made paper airplane out of it saying we can't afford engine but we can glide"
Vic and I hearing this jumped in joy and played with paper plane and then we realised we can use paper as material Mrs, Claire looked at it said we are in Minerva "We wont know when and how will it rain and paper will get wet fast and if we use cloth the air will escape if it get wet it will be heavy"
Vic say couldn't "we use cotton cloth and paper together like Otto Lilienthal did ?" Mrs Claire hearing the proposal says "he used some kind of sealant for not the air escape problem so that could work out."
I ask "now there is new problem what will be the sealant ?' Vic suddenly exclaims "we could use glue the sealant'
Mrs, Claire says "Magnificent, we will start drawing plans tomorrow" and we all go to sleep except for Mrs, Claire she woke up the entire night making models and planning for the glider for us.
We woke up the next day saw Mrs, Claire in her study sleeping on the plan and lot of model around her we looked at the final model it looked like a bat bit there was other wing on top of the wing and two person with same build and weight can ride it at same time.
We ran to the pantry made sandwich for Mrs, Claire and we went out to buy materials we took the cotton cloths and paper form the company and we bought some metal wires and lot of glue
When we came back we saw the carpenter was talking to Mrs Claire. They were tailing about wood for the frame and carpenter said "Willow wood and Bamboo are durable and light weight we could use that"
After some months we made our first proto type but when I tested it did a lil 'further but it was hard to steer and It was unbalanced
Seeing this Mrs Claire looked at the plan and the poster of wright brothers plane found they had tail for the plane steer so made a tail and evenly spread the glue
Few weeks later the glider flew but it rattled like it was to tear of in a small distance so we looked at the plan Mrs Claire and Vic looked at books to solve it then they realised the entire wait is in front we had to balance it a little.
They changed the tails control to the legs now if left leg was pressed against a small pad the tail will changes it direction responding to the strength given and it will turn right if right leg presses the pad
We looked Otto's death and as safety we made the glider a second lever that could make the glider dive and rise by making it bend a little
Vic jumped in joy seeing the final prototype being complete and we tested it by jumping of the roof it glided very well we went to the nearby cliff to test with a person riding it.
Vic and I wore our goggles and got ready to fly an Mrs Claire cheered for us and we ran till then d od]f cliff but soon as we could see the edge Vic stopped he started hyperventilating something in me in knew he is scared so I looked at him said "Vic I know its scary to do something new but if do it we can be equivalent to the birds that rule the sky"
Vic looked at me and said Lets do it and we ran with all our will and we leapt we glided through the air piercing the breeze and everything looked smaller we felt like a eagle soaring through the sky we steered towards the mansion and we waved at Mrs Clifford and soon as we reached town everyone started looking at us we decide to land and we steered to the plains and slowly dove down and glided until our legs could touch the grass we ran till we stopped and we looked at each other laughed with joy and pride.
Soon Mrs, Clifford reached there with her cart hugged us saying "YOU DID IT U ABSOLOUTLY DID IT DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SCARE IT GAVE ME WHEN YOU TWO LEPT DOWN THE CLIFF"
We hugged her back saying "Thanks mom for everything you done for us"
"Fin"
"Thanks for reading The wings of trust"
