The card began to grow bigger and bigger until it reached a certain point and began transforming into what looked like a motorcycle without wheels and floated in the air. Blake's eyes flashed with an excited light when he saw this. "Can I ride it?"
"Go ahead. On the right side, where your foot is, is a pedal to make it go faster. Like those automobile things, you showed me. The left side is a pedal that will bring you to a stop. I tested it out, and it was quite the experience. So give it a shot and see if you like it or if it needs some tweaks or not." Thardra crossed his arms in front of his chest. This new invention was something he was quite proud of.
Blake climbed onto the bike and which looked very much like a futuristic bike than anything he had ever seen before. It floated a few inches off the ground. He got himself into position and then stepped on the pedal. Seconds later, he was cruising along quite quickly. He let off the gas and hit the break, and it stopped on a dime without issues. He swung it around and arrived back in front of Thardra and asked: "How do I make it go higher?"
"The handle on the right side rolls back and forth when you push the button near your thumb, allowing you to descend or ascend. Roll the handle back to ascend and roll it forward to descend. I was thinking of having the motion in the entire handlebar area, but I came to the conclusion this might cause issues elsewhere, so I kept it simple.
"You can either stop the descent and ascent or leave it on to do as you, please. But I suggest reaching the height you want and turning it off. However, do not go too high. I think as tall as the buildings in the city are fine for now. I am not sure how well it will work at higher altitudes since certain parts might be temperature sensitive. I still have much more to test before it is ready for mass production, but in here, you can go as high as you want." Thardra explained.
"Alright!" Blake did not hesitate to fly up high into the air. He looked at the dash, which had many statistics on it that showed altitude, speed, and many other lights that Blake figured were for warning if something was wrong. But for the ease of use in being able to fly, this thing was really amazing. It was very stable. He could turn without issue by leaning his body to the side and turning the front of the bike like he would a normal motorcycle.
He did a few spins around the training ground speeding up with each round until he was going over four hundred miles per hour. While he could still go faster, he decided to do a full stop by pressing the brake, and to his surprise, the entire bike halted but almost tossed him off! Luckily he held on and used his strength to stay on the bike. This could be said to be the only issue he could see with it. But it stopped high in the air and hovered there without issue. He slowly descended and returned to where Thardra was. "Very good! My only issue is if you need to stop after high speeds, you basically fly over the handlebars. Any way to fix this?"
"Hmmm? I will need to think about it. But I am sure I can come up with something. The bike itself will stop on hair if you want it to, but if the inertia is transferred to the rider, this is not good either. Maybe some form of dampening…." Thardra instantly went into thinking mode. He tapped a button on the bike, and it transferred back into a card. It grabbed it and walked off without a word causing Blake to chuckle.
But Blake was actually quite excited about this new invention of Thardra's. He really made something special. Although he wished he could have asked how it was made because that card transformed into such a large bike, but the card itself was as thin as a credit card and about the same size. "I guess I will ask him next time. For now, I should go deal with a certain stalker."
Yes, He really needed to take care of the stalker who had been following him around. He planned to wait a bit longer, but it seemed Sei would need a bit longer before her evolution, so there was nothing stopping him now from bringing in a new wife.
"Hina, come out. I need to talk to you. If you run, you will not be able to get what you want." Blake yelled out. The bushes not too far away rustled, and a harpy girl slowly walked out. She had her head lowered as if she was in trouble.
She had her wings in front of her rubbing together as she said: "Just so you know, I just happened to be taking a walk just now. I wasn't following you or anything…."
"Are you a tsun tsun?" Blake asked, causing Hina to look up and look at him in confusion. "Never mind. Come, we will go someplace more private to talk."
"O-Okay…." Hina nodded and watched as Blake flapped his wings and flew away. She quickly did the same.
The two went to the palace, where they landed outside. Blake then scooped Hina up, causing her to cry out. "Wha-what are you doing!?"
"I am making your wish come true," Blake said, causing the harpy to blush. She no longer said a word. Off in the corner, staring at his back, an elf covered in dirt sat by her small wooden house with envious eyes. She long regretted her actions. But now she was nothing but a pet that would be forgotten about if not for the maids giving her food twice a day. She had no clothes. She had long gotten used to being looked at while naked, but she still dreamt of having a life of a normal elf back. She wondered just what came over her that drove her to hate the princess so much. But one can only regret, there was no changing what had happened. She knew this as well. She just hoped maybe one day she would be free if she continued acting like a good dog.
