The sound of the birds starting to roost sounded loud in his ears. The thick forest barely tinged with shades of crimson and olive was starting to fade to an array of blue. He stared into the rapidly darkening sky longingly. The price to stand to ones beliefs was grave for he was at the moment filled with bitterness and regret. To have lost the freedom to soar among the birds and to play with the clouds without any worries was simply too harsh he thought. He drooped his head, his arms leaning against the rock he had been sitting on. He wept silently into his hands. His pale skin seeming to glow in the dark shadow of the night, his white wings spread wide open in its last embrace of the wind.

Slowly almost like an eternity, its feathers quietly fell like snow onto the forest floor. The night creatures eyed him with curiosity as the fireflies kissed his skin while they flirted with each other. He stood up calmly, his closed eyes tilted to the twilight stars. Having cried his insecurities out, he remained that way for the longest time contemplating the mission he had been sent on.

He had fallen from the heavens, his lean body now mortal, sent to do something almost impossible. He had no vague idea where to begin nor had he not had a glimpse of possibility to complete it. To do what he must he sighed inaudibly as broke from his thoughts. He looked back at the road he left, the white road that gradually fade from his view. Not that it was no longer existed, only he could no longer see with.
