Hey guys, this is SteelWingAngel here with another chapter of this fan fiction. I hope this is better than the last one because I didn't really like it that much. So, without further ado the next chapter!
The heart of a Bird
Mephiles slowly got back up, making sure the headache doesn't get any worse. "C'mon Mephiles, easy does it now." He said to himself. "There you go, now to get out of this place and remember how I got here in the first place." Mephiles started walking through the forest with no clue where he was going. Then, he saw some animals drinking out of a small pond. "Guess I could use a drink." Mephiles walked slowly over to the pond, not to scare the other animals. As took another slow step to the pond, the animals turned to him and ran out of fear. "Heh, oh well guess that leaves me with more room to drink." Mephiles said with a bit of sorrow in him. "Still, wouldn't hurt to have some company." He then drank from the pond to refresh himself. Ahh, that was good." When he finished, he noticed a few birds to the side of the pond. He slowly walked over there, hoping not to startle them as well. He then saw then a few crows attacking 4 small birds. One of the birds was red with black dots across its wings. The other looks green with three strands of hair pointing of its head. While the one to its right looks kind of beat up but he kindly see that it has black feathers, only darker than the crows and white stripes across its head. The one in the middle looks like it has its wing and tail injured and its lying on the ground. It appears to have blue feathers in the top and all white in the bottom with a black strip acting as a border between its two colors. "I have to help!" Mephiles started to run at the birds. "Shoo shoo, get away you damn crows!" The crows flapped away in fear and flew across the trees out of sight. Mephiles turned to the small birds and walked up to the injured one. "Hey there." Mephiles said with a small voice. He slowly moved his hand close to the small blue injured bird until his hand was pecked hard by the green bird. "Ouch, what was that for!" He yelled, glaring at the green bird. Then he saw the three birds covering the blue one with determination in their eyes. He knew that those birds would defend their friend, no matter the danger that was around them. "I see, you two would save this small one, even at the cost of your own lives. You guys must have really strong friends blue one." He started to move his hand the blue one again. The green bird was about to peck Mephiles hand again, only to be stopped by a black wing. The bird quickly looked at the black bird with a gaze that says what the hell you are doing, all over it. The black bird only nods back at the green one. Then they all let Mephiles hand through. Mephiles wanted to prove no harm to the bird by petting it softly over its head. The bird tweeted softly liking it. Then Mephiles slowly picked it up and carry it with his hands like he would do if carrying a baby. Mephiles started to walk again through the forest with the three birds flying close behind him. He stopped walking and sat under a big old tree. He started taking care of the small bird. Feeding it, nurturing it and giving it love and comfort. It has been 5 days of taking care of the birds. It and he quite enjoyed it too. "Okay little one, it's time." Mephiles started to lift the bird up over his head. The bird started to flap its wings and shack its tail feathers to make sure it fully healed. Then it jumped out of Mephiles hand and flew with excitement and joy. It turned back to fly around Mephiles. He chuckled at the site of the bird flying and feeling happy. The other birds chirped at the blue one to signal him, it's time to go. The birds started flying away, but in Mephiles surprise, the blue bird stayed. "Why aren't you going little guy. You should fly with your friends. The other birds stopped and turned around to see their friend on Mephiles shoulder. "C'mon little one, you should go with them. " The bird only nodded and chirped at the other birds. The other birds nodded as well and flew off. Mephiles was confused. "Why didn't you go with your friends?" The bird only answer was cuddling itself in Mephiles cheek. "I get it now; you want stay with me for helping out with your injuries. Well okay, you can stay with me." The bird chirped with excitement. "But first, let's give you a name, How about Benji?" The bird shook its head. "Okay how about Ray!" The bird still shook its head. "Fine, it's either you or I'm just bad at giving names." Mephiles said with a chuckle. "Let's see here, how about Cerus?" The small bird nodded with joy. "Okay, looks like that'll be the name I'm going to start calling you for now on. By the way, are you a boy or a girl?" The little bird stood tall revealing its mighty chest. "So you're a boy by the look of that stance." The bird nodded with a small smile. "Okay Cerus let's first get out of here, I have some questions that I'm looking for. The bird stated to flap out of Mephiles at hand and chirped at him. "You want me to follow you? So you know the way out. Mephiles said with a grin. "Well then, lead on friend!" The bird chirped with excitement and flew in flew in front of Mephiles face.
