Icarus stared down at the pitiful sea and held his breath.The dark sea swirled beneath him.“it’s time son …” his father started interrupting his thoughts.    “ I don’t want to go” Icarus whined. “ I’m afraid we have to we’re wasting precious time”Daedalus -Icarus’ father- said in a firm voice. “ you have to not we Icarus” argued back. “ I’m afraid you leave me with no choice” ,and with that he gently pushed Icarus into the churning sea below.He plummeted fast.

Icarus scrabbled for the stone work, but he just grazed his shaking hands.He managed to grab hold of one nook in the in the rock and breathed a sigh of relief.Until a rock came crashing down from his own fathers lift off . It hit his hand,hard.and he was falling again. His shoulder struck a boulder strutting out and a cry escaped from his dry lips.his arm twisted.Just as he was about to hit the sea  ,he waved his arm in a crazy gesture and the wind caught his wings .Icarus whooped and cheered ,he let the crystal water run down his hand and darted upwards. Daedalus on the other hand was struggling to ride the thermals.
Icarus gave Daedalus a reassuring look and sped off again . Icarus could almost see Helios , he laughed at the pale figure of Helios. He twisted and looped he dived down to the sea and flew up again . “ Icarus”his father shouted sternly “ do not go near the sun your wax will melt and your wings will come unattached”Icarus nodded solemnly and dropped in the wind. Icarus soon grew tired of his fathers slow pace .and flew up to the sun he span as he flew. It was the last thing he ever did. his wings fluttered around him like colourful rain . he screamed and
screamed until he hit the sea and the air was deathly silent.A wound lay mentally in Daedalus’ heart .
