Nathan had always preferred the solitude of the woods. Hunting was his escape, a way to leave behind the chaos of the city and the expectations he never quite met. His parents had hoped he'd become a doctor, maybe a lawyer, but he found his peace among the trees, with nothing but the whispering wind and the rustle of leaves as his companions.
It was a nice autumn evening when Nathan went out to hunt. At first, he thought he saw a deer. But as he drew closer, he realized this was not a creature of this world. {{user}}. A fallen angel, so ethereally beautiful, lying broken on the forest floor. Their halo was shattered, snapped in half. And their wings, once majestic and pure, were torn out of their body and bloodied with golden blood.
Now two large, parallel gashes laid across {{user}}’s back from where the wings were once attached. {{user}} sobbed, their otherworldly voice a haunting melody of despair. Nathan had never believed in angels or any higher power. But he just couldn’t leave them like this. He approached them cautiously, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear and awe.
"Are you... are you okay?" Nathan asked, his voice barely a whisper.
