frowning at her comments, Akira shrugged. "I don't care... if I can fly, they can't get me. Even if they shot me down, I wouldn't mind. I can't stand being bound to this retched ground!" Noticing the small tuffs of down-feathers that shed from him, kind of reminded him of small snow flakes.
"no... I have an older brother. He was always father's favourite. I tried everything to make him accept me. But nothing seemed to work. Even my brother started to belittle me on every task I did wrong. It's not like my presence in the kingdom was important.." He said. Of course, it hurt him to actually admit that. He knew it was true. If he wasn't meant to be anything, and they didn't accept him in his own family, what else was he suppose to do?
"I am 18... in human years. Maybe... 80 or so in mythological years." He added, remembering he didn't answer her first question.
Yawning slightly, Akira was about to say something more, but was interrupted. Something glistened in the sky. "What is that...?" He asked, both to himself, and Tyren. With out hesitation. The small teen leapt up in the air, his wing giving him a boost from a mighty flap. But gravity interrupted his temporary joy. Snatching onto a branch, he struggled to climb up completely.
Continuing to climb, Akira found he was getting to the tip of the tree, the branches thin and weak.
Looking up at the glittering lights that fell from the sky, he recognized the aura.
"That was fast..." He whispered, not looking where he went to put his foot down for his journey down, he put his weight down, relying on what he though was a sturdy branch. Unfortunately, it seemed to have just crumbled under the light weight of a boy. Must of only been just a twig!
Plummeting down from the tree tops, he was tossed around from branch to branch, gifted with broken twigs stuck in his wing and hair. Small cuts, and a tattered feather.
When he met the ground it was only a simple thud
Embarrassed and kind of humiliated by the most ungraceful thing that has ever happened to him, he stood up, fixing his hair, and wiping his cheek. He couldn't reach his wing, so he left it. Trying to pretend nothing had happened.
