Kaito dried her tears. She sat with the Lord of Flight upon the Mountain of Dreams while morning came down all around them. Then it was time for the floating to begin.
One by one, the Lord of Flight took the new butterflies on his finger and raised them to the sun. Gently he blew the gift of flight into their wings…
Winter is drawing near and Kaito's butterflies have dried. She weeps, but the Lord of Flight explains that although butterflies must come and go, flight itself will last forever. So Kaito finds a way to experience the magic of flight - and honour the beauty of her butterflies - even in the middle of winter.
