Not knowing the name of the trampled flower The fallen bird yearns for the wind to come
There was a young boy lying on the ground, covered in blood. Gary had just finished his morning jogging when he noticed somebody between the bushes. He rushed towards the boy, putting his face between both hands and trying to wake him up. But he was still unconscious. Slowly and carefully Gary put the injured person on his back. That boy was tall and huge and kinda heavy but Gary himself was quite strong. In wide but slow motion steps he carried him home. Then he would call for an ambulance.
When he arrived at home, the boy woke up, screaming at him in panic. Desperately he tried to stand up and escape, but he was still to weak to move too much. As Gary tried to calm him down, the boy yelled at him in a foreign language and suddenly a pair of white but bloody wings grew out of his back. He appeared much bigger and Gary increased the distance between them. Blood flowed out and the stranger lost conscious once again due to his great blood loss.
A cool feeling came from his forehead and he carefully opened his eyes. The man that had captured him was sleeping on the ground next to him, while he himself had slept on a soft, wide bed. His wounds had been treated well and he felt much better after getting enough sleep. Maybe that human was trustworthy.
So he decided to tell Gary who and what he was. Zelo was a fallen angel whose fate was to fight against unknown evil in the human world. The angels didn’t know what they had to fight but many, maybe too many of them had given their life for the higher purpose. It was saddening. He put his head on the knees and hugged his legs. Gary understood him. He must had seen all his friends dying at such a young age. The human stroked the angel’s head telling him to stay as long as he needed time to recover. The winged being was grateful to the male since he feared the fight.
But at the same time he yearned to rise again and to keep fighting with the wings of justice.
