The waves of pain that wash over him everytime he flaps his wings feel strange to Duma. He doesn't think that he has ever felt pain in all his many years. There was that pain of walking on the base earth, but that was a different kind of pain. It was more of an unpleasantness than pain, but this, the stinging sensation that sears through his whole body with each movement, this is so alien to him.
Duma had planned on taking Kiara farther but he notices that he is flying lower and lower. He also had to stop several times during the journey. It would be dangerous for her if he falls. Gently, Duma flies among the ruined buildings and lands on the ground without a sound. It is not so far from their original place, but Duma had made sure that there are no white creatures around the area. Carefully, he places Kiara back on the ground and strokes the side of her face lightly to smooth out a tangled fur.
He gives her an earnest smile. He never really fell after all, and for all he knows, he is still an angel and still doing his duty. Standing back up, he stretches out his wings and looks at the brownish stain on his feathers with curiosity. Perhaps Lucifer can tell him what to do when he comes around.
