130 Rash Decisions

As White-Fire dove down, the barrier crashed with many of the incoming wild birds. It was one hell of a bumpy ride. 

They turned and fell off of White-Fire in the process, but Astrid kept her concentration in tact, there by  keeping the barrier in tact. 

In no distant time, they came crashing down with a loud sound as the barrier broke through trees and hit the ground. 

BANG!! 

The ball like barrier thumbled many times, hitting the forest floor four times before scattering and flinging them all out.

"Hey, how are you?"
