Clipped wings
Open starter ~ Fantasy AU ~
A little creature sat in its small cage. It was almost human looking, except that the lower half of its legs were of a bird, except the feathers on its chest and arms, on his head forming almost hair, except his clawed hands, except the two wings sprouting on its back.
The wings had been clipped, and it was trapped in this cage. Like a bird to be owned, which he was treated as. Sold for high prices, like right now. It didn’t seem bothered though, and the seller spoke of how affectionate it was.
Ray had been looking around for having a pet and well he couldn’t find one that suited him. When he saw the beautiful bird he gasped a little and moved to the buyer and asked him about the price. He really seemed to be interested in the small creature
The little bird like creature chirped seeing someone, sounding just like an excited little bird.
The seller told Ray the price, which was pretty high considering prices of other pet creatures. But this one was a rarity, especially since it seemed to be able to talk. Or at least repeat words, like some birds could do.
