I spread my wings and stroke them in the moonlight. The normally sleek black feathers are coated in my blood. Bent out of shape and twisted,
due to the villagers attacks. Nana, Senrei and Husky had all left after discovering I worked to help Fly, so it wasn't like they could help me anymore.
Hell I doubt they would've even if they were here. They treated me the same as the villagers when they left.
"Cooro how could you!" screamed Husky in rage.
"Yeah! How could you use us, just for our anima?" Sobbed Nana, grasping huskys sleeve with trembling fingers. Husky in turn stood protectively
in front of her. "Thats it! May be the villagers were right! You are only a Messenger of Death!"
In that moment, Cooro's mask of happiness shattered. Due to a careless promise, made as a child, he had lost the only comfort he had ever known. He looked
down, bangs covering his eyes so as not to show his hurt. "then go." he whispered, voice trembling. And go they did.
"Cooro.." muttered Senrei, looking as though he was trying to choose whether or now to follow Husky and Nana or stay with Cooro.
"its fine, just go," Cooro muttered, trying to swallow the newly formed lump in his throat.
Senrei simply nodded, and left.
Nana's words "..only a Messenger of Death!" still rings clearly in my ears. I absentmindedly stroke my aching wings, my fingers now covered in blood.
Never again will I hear Nana's laugh or be bashed with Husky's, 'Cooro punishing stick'. Never again will I fall, only to be lifted onto Senrei's
sholders. Never again, will I wake to my friends voices. Never again.
