🇬🇧A Gift of the Heavens ⛅️🎁

The path, carpeted with damp pine needles 🌲, finally led them to a wide clearing, over which heavy clouds were breaking 🌤. High above, as if moored to the very stars, shone Heaven's Harbor ⛅️🏰. Yuka stopped, squinting at the distant golden light piercing through the mist. — Why are we coming here? — she asked, turning to her companion. 🦊 — I want to show you something, — the Plague Doctor replied in a muffled yet gentle voice. — Is this the same city where Lunari 🐉 lives? — a mix of curiosity and slight anxiety flickered in her voice. 🌑 — Yes, but we are not here for her, — he cut her off, pulling a flask from beneath his cloak, filled with a potion that shimmered like liquid sun. He insisted that Yuka 🦊 drink the potion 🧪, and she, without a second thought, drained the flask to the very last drop. As the potion was finished, Plague began to whisper an incomprehensible incantation 🪄. In an instant, they lost their balance, soaring higher and higher above the ground. In the first moment, Yuka 🦊 was seized by pure terror. 😱💔 She had never felt so defenseless. Gravity ceased to exist, and the girl felt the abyss beneath her feet making her head spin. She desperately clung to the Doctor's leather cloak, while her nine white tails fearfully wrapped around her waist. — Are we... Are we flying?! — she gasped through clenched teeth, closing her eyes in panic 😰🌀. — Look at me, Yuka. I am holding you, — his calm voice acted better than any medicine. Carefully opening her eyes, she 🦊 saw them smoothly passing through a cloud. Fear began to melt away, giving way to incredible wonder 🤩. The world below grew small, and the majestic spires of Heaven's Harbor against the sunset 🌤 became reachable. — This is my gift to you 😘🫴🎁, — he said, lifting her higher still. — With me, you will get to know this world. The terror vanished completely, leaving only pure, intoxicating ecstasy. They soared among the clouds ☁️ for hours. The city's inhabitants stepped out onto their balconies, watching the snow-white kitsune and the dark doctor in awe, but Yuka 🦊 didn't notice them. In her thoughts, there was only this endless, magical flight... and him — the one who gave her the whole sky ⛅️🎁
