the next morning,drake was barely keeping awake as the first rays of sunlight hit his face.he took several more caffeine pills before waking up the girl in the tent
he offered her some provisions from the bag before going back outside and biting his wrist open and letting blood drop on all the runes he had made. now that it was daylight and he wasn't currently wearing the charms,his wings were on full display....or at least....what was left of them
drake glanced over his shoulder as his blood dripped onto the ground, the blackish red ichor hissing as it met the runes
"technically yes. dark as the midnight sky with flecks of midnight blue interspersed between"the fallen said and shrugged.
now his wings were mostly bone with a thin leathery membrane covering them and the hint of a spike jutting from the joint, a sign that he was slowly but surely turning into a demon
Angela reached her hand out but then she stopped herself "can I touch them? I never knew my parents so I never got to see the wings, I know it's not the same but.." She trailed off
he raised his eyebrow"oooooookay?"drake muttered with confusion but didnt deny her. if she wasnt repulsed immediately he would have to find some other way to torment her
Angela nodded slowly and took a deep breath before slowly reaching out and gently running the tips of her fingers along the wing "amazing" she said gently
Angela gave a small smile "they're angel wings Drake. No matter they're still angel's wings and they're still amazing" she replied then gave an almost shy smile "And sure they look a little...creepy but they have their own beauty to them"
"that usually doesnt feel very pleasant....oh well"he shrugged and lifted the girl up into his arms to carry her, not really caring all that much if she was in pain so long as she wasn't dead yet
The girl wither in Drakes arms from the pain,two large lumps emerging where wings would join the body and as she gasped and shined in pain the presence of demons began to surround them
drake froze and sniffed around,scowling"really?now?"he muttered her unceremoniously dropped the girl to the ground as he turned his crystal into a bladed whip
(or a daggertail if you ever played prince of persia)
