Wings

Grian fell on his bed, exhausted. He's been working almost non-stop the entire day, wanting to get enough resources for the barge. His body hurts, and he can still feel the scratch marks from the husks. Maybe he should just get some sleep.

It's the next morning,and Grian can hear birds chirping, see sun rays barely reaching through the window. He felt something strange, something under him, but he doesn't know what. He gets up, stretches and looks at himself in the mirror, then promptly fell over from shock.

He had wings.

They were white and fluffy, like a dove's, but unlike those, they sparkled. They were unlike anything he has ever seen, and they were massive.

''So this must be my power.'' He said to himself. It wasn't too bad, since flying was normally his thing, but he was used to an elytra, and he didn't know whether he'll be able to get used to it.

What confused him the most is how it managed to tear it's way through his shirt. It wasn't sharp, and there were no claws on it. They were too soft to do this, right?

He decided he needed to try out his wings.

He quickly ran to the access ladder to his roof, then climbed up. Once he was on the roof, he could start to feel the excitement flowing through him. Yes, he was scared, but an almost natural calm came over him, as if he knew exactly what to do. He then started running until he was on the edge, then jumped.

He could feel the morning air around him, calm and peaceful. The exact opposite of him right now. Once he got over the initial shock of winged flight, excitement and joy filled him. It was all he could do to keep himself from waking the others.

He had to show this to Mumbo.

He flew over to the octagon-shaped megabase, and, as he guessed,he saw Mumbo was also up early, working on another machine. ''Heyyyy Mumbo!!'' he shouted,as he gracefully landed in front of his friend.

''Hey Grian,what're you... Oh.''

He looked at the short hermit,amazed by the sheer beauty of the wings. It was strange, as he's never seen anything like it. ''So,what do you think?'' the little hermit said, flapping his wings a little and buzzing with excitement. ''It's.... it's... amazing!''he replied.

Grian was over the moon. He had to test them out a bit more. ''I'll see you later,ok?'' he told his friend then, without waiting for an answer, took off, waving goodbye.

He could get used to this.
