Lack of speed

"Okay, let's make the first stop." After just a few moments of trying to compete with the girl for the speed at which we could travel, I have no other choice but to ultimately concede defeat. But rather than my pride shattering over this loss, I took this defeat as a learning experience.

In the end, my ability to fly was just an effect of my witchcraft, something that wasn't designed to make me fly in the first place. On the other hand, not only was this girl born with wings, making her a natural ruler of this dominion, but she could clearly use some kind of skills or technique, that made her airborne abilities even more fearsome.
