Ravan woke up, gasping at the last memory of the children crying out has he took his last breath there.
Wait.. I woke up?
Looking down, Ravan noticed that he had a body, legs and all.
"Uhh..." When he talked, his chest didn't pain, not did he feel any pain whatsoever.
Then, he noticed something else. A.. tail?
But before he could actually look around and check if it was a tail, a yelp of joy startled him.
"Guys, guys! He woke up!" Then Seren came to him, with the other children coming closer to see if it was real.
"Seren!?" He said, confused.
Seren gasped and said, "how do you know my name?" Then she scratched her head with a dumb look on her face. "You know my name??"
"What do you mean? I die-" then he truly saw himself in a clear water puddle beside him.
He was beautiful young boy, with messy long and thick white hair to his waist and bright purple eyes.
He still had wings, but one was black and the other gray. Feathers on his face and ears too, so he looked very similar to the children, but only one thing was wrong.
He had a tail. Long and feathery, attractive white, and he was in disbelief.
Wasn't this that other boy he took care of!? The one he met on his journey, and was the only survivor of a race!?
What!? I'm so confused!
This boy died at age 6! He thought that his race was really extinct!
"Hey, boy, are you ok?" A grunt voice asked. Azula walked in, acting all high and mighty. But under his eyes were red streaks, like he was crying recently.
Ravan was about to ask where did the children find him until Azula bent down and said, "we found you in the forest when looking for branches. We needed a fire, y'know?"
"Ohh.."
Ravan was confused, but he was glad he was back with the children again. Wait, who's leading this group now? How much time has pasted from my death??
"What's your name?" Azula asked. "Oh, I'm Azula. And it sounded like you know Seren?"
Ravan thought about how he never knew his boys name, just the child suggested to call him 'Kilo.'
"I'm Kilo." He said firmly and steadily. His heart was racing to know how much time has pasted, and who was leading the group of children now.
"Are you a group?" He asked the first thing that came to mind.
"Yes. We are the Crestfallen Angels! Last name Crestwood, y'know y'know."
"...if your a group, who's the leader of it??" Finally Ravan, no, Kilo asked, worried they might had picked the wrong person.
Azula frozen, the said in a sad but steadily tone, "our group leader die-"
"AZULA!" A very familiar voice called to the prankster. "You can't tell this strange boy that!"
China ran up to them and slapped Azula in the face. "Oof..!"
"Yes, we do have a leader. Well, leaders. Susan and Suga, obviously." She specifically said obviously to Azula.
"I will show you were our leader is, and then you can go." But China was staring at his unnatural wing colors and tail, a frown growing in her feathered face.
Kilo now check the tail. Yes. It was very true.
Again and again he check, unsure about it being real.
Yes, it was real.
He gasped in disbelief when China lead him outside of the tunnel they had patched. Wasn't there Diseases!? But the time he spend there, it didn't smell like there was some, and they never checked the tunnel out itself too.
Light fluttered in through the hole in the roof as he and China walked out of the tunnel. It was unnaturally empty, which it had been very lively when he was alive.
But I'm alive right now, Kilo thought ask he flexed his wings.
**********
Click
China jumped and looked behind her at this 'Kilo,' who just clicked his wings.
Clicking wings basically means you didn't fly in a long time.. she was confused. Wasn't this strange boy looking about 6 or 7?
Well, I will save the questions for later. Then spread her wings and ran to the hidden river.
The Kilo was actually keeping up, but sometimes whenever she looked back at him, he had a disbelievingly expression on his face as if he couldn't believe it.
Running to the river was a piece of cake. The cove and small, but not very, so running there was no sweat.
Then, she took stones from behind the river, and kept digging when she hit the dirt. After a little digging, she finally broke through the dirt, leading to a medium sized cave.
"Woah..!" A gasp of awe came from behind her.
Hehe. She thought smugly as she flew a little way down.
**********
Kilo couldn't believe it. This was behind that small hidden river?
A medium sized cave was opened infront of him, and the cave was beautiful. Crystals were hanging on the ceiling, looking dangerous but was actually keeping up. They lit the place with various colors,
Pink, orange, yellow, blue, green, royal blue, cotton purple! Lots of colors were there. But was amazed him the most was that there was a huge crystal, looking a bit damaged, but had all the colors of the rainbow, swimming in the vast sea of black, white, and gray.
Looking down, Kilo was expected to fly. But that click when he flexed his wings was a different story.
Different colors danced on him, like it was taunting him to fall and fly.
"I-i can't fly right now!" He yelled at China.
China looked like she was having fun, touching crystals and jumped in clear water puddles, forgetting her mission.
Then, Ayla surprisingly showed up!
Her milky yellow halo bobbed on top of her head, and she appeared from behind a purple and gray crystal.
"That- that's!?" She started to say.
"Oh.. oh! You woke up! I have a unbelievably unnatural mix of colors..!" She probably only heard of him, not actually seen him.
**********
Ayla was flustered. A strange boy called to China, who was just having fun for a 9 year old child and third command leader.
She didn't think he will look like this, his wings were the ones that clicked a few seconds ago.
Uncomfortablely, Ayla flexed her feathers.
"Um, were you going to go and meet our group leader?" She asked.
The strange boy nodded, his beautiful messy hair tangled and pure white.
"China, I'm going to carry this boy to the leaders, got that?" Ayla said to China, and she nodded back.
"Ok!!"
--------
Ayla walked through crystals and crystals, knowing this way just to much already, and wanted to build up a conversation with the boy.
Spreading her wings, she hit the white headed boy on purpose, getting his attention quickly.
" Hey, what's your name?" She asked. The boy didn't hesitate to say "Kilo, my name is Kilo. Who are you?"
It's a little late to ask that. She suspeted Kilo didn't know much about being suspicious.
"Ayla." She replied, as they got to the huge mixed color crystal.
**********
Kilo looked up at the crystal, amazed of how huge is was.
" We call this crystal Ravan, because our old grandpa is engraved into it."
