I'll jump from the cliff and I'll build my wings on the way down
Henry's talons slipped through air, missing their mark, but the threat of his talons was enough to make the shark reel back into the water. It disappeared... for now. He wasn't sure if they'd be back, and he didn't want to stick around to find out. With a glance over to make sure Arialla had found her way into the air, Henry swept into the breeze and glided over the ocean in haste.
His eyes glanced down into the flickering shadows beneath the water, and he barely heard Arialla's warning when the sharks proved her point. The waters below parted in an ominous splash, and up came one of the biggest sharks Henry had ever seen. He let out a screech of alarm, eyes widening, as its teeth clamped through the air for him.
His muscles and wings worked vigorously to rise higher, higher, higher, until he found himself safely out of harm's way in the sky. It took him a moment to calm his flapping wings, to relax into the warm air, air that hardly reflected the rapid beating of his heart.
But once he did, he glanced over towards Arialla before letting out an eagle-cry of victory. "Whoooo!" He turned in the direction of the coast, which was visible from their vantage point. "Take that, you stupid fish!" He cawed down at the waters, far below them at this point. In a swish of feathers through the air, he popped up beside Arialla.

"Hey, you alright?!"
