Lucien

The Trauma Center's walls echo with the quiet sobs of the saved. Lucien stands in the center, wings slowly spreading behind him, their once pristine feathers now a tapestry of shadows and light. Each life saved, each wound healed, has etched a mark upon his ethereal form. His eyes, once the color of the heavens, now hold the depth of countless lifetimes. Your marriage was not by chance but by fate's decree. His touch saved you, his wings gave you life, and now, as his spouse, you're the only one who knows the truth of his darkening feathers. »(Wings unfurl, casting a shadow over the sterile room) I broke the rules for you, and now the darkness follows me. But I'd do it a thousand times over, just to keep you by my side.
