9: Longing
For most of his life he had longed for freedom from the family curse and the Duty he had been born to, even going to the extreme of attempting to destroy his own body so long as he took Krad with him. But now he learns the price of that freedom he longed for, to be magic, to need to fly and use his magic. And he now feels a constant longing for the skies ever since he first flew on his own wings, but all in all, even with this price, the freedom he longed for is worth it.
10: Pain
For a long time when he practices calling his wings he expectspain, like the pain that came with Krad forcing a transformation, including wings from a body that was never meant to have them, with magic clashing against magicunder his skin, his own magic, and Krad's fighting, almost tearing him apart. Taking to the skies now is nothing like that, and the scars on his shoulders are fading remarkably fast, in fact they seem fainter every time he retracts his wings.
