You had been watching the small winged monster go about his own business for a while now and couldn’t help but take note of those large yet damaged blue wing. Sometimes the softest breeze would pluck a loose feather from his frame… It took you a moment to gather the right words to ask him what had happened, your finger gestured to those tattered wings on his back.
The small skeleton seemed to chuckled and wave a hand in dismissal at the question, one he was far to familiar with. “I fell.” he said, Fell? You questioned, How? was how you decided to follow it up. The monster paused, his wings shuffling awkwardly as he thought and after a soft sigh he stopped what he was doing and turned to walk towards you.
“Do you know the story of Icarus?” He asked, however he didn’t seem to wait for an answer before he continued, “He made wings of wax to fly however he got too ambitious, flew to close to the sun, and came crashing to the ground as the wax melted…” R00ts paused and closed his eyes. “I got too ambitious… I was frustrated. Determined. Hopeful. And stupid. Without even thinking of the consequences I shot to the sky to fly! Oh it was wonderful” However his expression seemed to fade after that and you grew concerned.
There was a moment of silence as he tried to gather himself… “They shot me out of the sky. Fired weapons until one clipped my wing and before I could even begin correct myself I was going down. I was falling…” His lights drop to his hands as the trembled slightly. He quickly clenched them, hoping they would stop.
“It’s pointless to fly so I let them do what they want. Because despite this…” He stopped to stretch his wings out as far as they could go, showing exactly how damaged they were. It was quite shocking to see to say the least. “I can still give people like you joy in the form of these~” The small skeleton said, his wings relaxing once more as he pulled out a letter and held it out towards you. “It’s from someone very dear to you. I am sure you must know who that is.. I can just tell they care dearly about you.”
Your face lit up as you took the letter from them. Of course you knew. The familiar hand writing on the front, the cute animal stamps in corner however as you looked up once more to thank him- he was gone. Just like that. It was somewhat disappointing but he did have a very important job to do. Maybe you will have a chance to thank him next time…
