As the flitter emerges from the underside of the cloudbank, you can see a forested hillside close beneath you. Very close beneath you. Although there seems to be nowhere to land, the flitter seems to be intent on doing so anyway. It hovers almost motionlessly over the canopy of treetops below you for a second or so. Then, abruptly and without warning, the three spinning rotor blades above you suddenly collapse upwards to become almost vertical. With nothing left to hold it aloft, the flitter drops from the sky like a stone, crashing through a small hole in the treetops below. For a moment you are absolutely certain that you are about to plummet directly into the ground. However, at the last possible instant the flitter extends its rotors slightly, performs several gut-wrenching aerial maneuvers, and shoots through a gap between several trees into a large open area. |
