Obsidian Wings

Flowers from the valley

TW:
Please let me know if I missed any

"Why did you bring him up? He's a prisoner, he's supposed to stay there." Phil asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Phil, do you just want him to rot there? Why did you decide he could live?" Scott said, stepping half infront of the human.

"I don't know, Scott!" Phil threw up his arms, and his wings followed, in frustration. "I don't know why I decided to let him live, maybe everything has finally fucked me up enough."

"What did he say that peaked your interest?"

"A just death. That he'd give me death for the crimes committed, not for existing. That he'd give me a quick, just, death. There, is that what you wanted to hear?"

Scott sighed. "Look, I know what humans have done, but give this one a chance. Please? Just hang out with him for a while?"

The starborn nudged the human over to the elytrian.

Phil sighed. "Some days, I really hate you, Scott."

"That's the spirit! He's been fishing for a day and a half with a rod Niki gave him."

"Wait, What!" But Scott was already gone.

Phil sighed, and turned to the human, who waved slightly. The bird started walking, and the human lept to keep pace, walking one step behind him.

"How are you?" The hunter asked.

Phil chirped, pretending that was a reply.

"The merling is really nice. Niki? Niki, yeah, I can tell what Scott meant."

The elytrian cursed. Of course Scott would say something like that.

"What are you? I mean, the books say you're an Avian, but thats only one account. I've never heard of your kind before now."

Phil scowled, and Techno slowed a bit to put more distance between them. "Sorry to hit a nerve." He said.

AND IT SOUNDED GENUINE!

Phil scowled again. He hated how this human sounded so amazed and in awe, and how he treated the elytrian. Like they were equal. It made it so hard to hate him. It was infuriating.

Phil took out a note book and scribbled down his answer in beautiful English. And then he shoved it into the human's hands.

I am an elytrian, Tommy is an avian. The difference is, Tommy can't fly.

We were the first to be wiped out. For a century, elytrians were the only ones hunted.

Until they got them all.

The human handed it back with sad eyes. "Not all of them. You're still here."

Phil dipped his head down.

"But you're the only one."

The elytrian nodded sadly.

Then the hunter did something unexpected. He wrapped his arms around the elytrian. A muffled 'I'm sorry' escaped from his lips.

The hybrid chirped, and scribbled something else. Passing the book back to the human, who was now standing at his side.

There's nothing to be done about that now. It wasn't even you who did that, why do you apologize?"

"Because I'm a hunter, or, I used to be. No matter where my morals were, I was still a hunter, and I feel like I owe it to you to apologize for what my kind did." He said, handing the book back.

A crow came over, and chirped at Phil. The elytrian twittered back, and wrote something in the book.

Handing you back to Scott, got to deal with something involving an avian, and a phantom.

He then grabbed Techno, and took off.

He was put on a doorstep of a very pretty house, on the top of a mountain.

Phil gave the human a very don't go anywhere look, and Techno snorted. "Where would I go? To my death?"

The elytrian stared at him for a moment longer before taking off.

Techno kind of sat there for a while.

Scott eventually came back to his house.

Techno doesn't understand why the man put his house on top of a mountain, he couldn't fly up there, didn't he get sick of walking up the mountain?

So how'd that go? His eyes sparked with laugher.

"Good? I think? Phil told me about what he was, and why I'd never heard of his species before."

Really? That was quick.

Techno rubbed the back of his head. "I think he just wanted me to shut up."

Maybe. But besides that, would you like to meet some other residents?"

"Really?" He asked skeptically.

Yeah, I mean, you can't leave, might as well get to know the others.

"No, I mean, do they want to meet me?"

Tubbo and Niki do.

"Alright? Whose Tubbo?"

Beeling, used to hang out with Ranboo, our resident enderian.

"Used to?"

They had a bit of a fall out over something. Never mind that, let's go meet people!

So they both trekked down said mountain, which was really steep, and slightly annoying.

Niki was sitting in a little lake, and clapped when the two came into her sight.

She started talking to Scott in whatever universal language they shared. Her voice was very quiet, and her accent was different too.

She seemed very happy about something.

The bee came over a while later, and handed Niki a variety of flowers. The merling then decided to scatter them around her little pond with delight. They were among the corals, and human sized lily pads.

The beeling, Tubbo, then turned to Techno with a shy grin. He waved, and handed Techno a flower too. It was an orange tulip.

Scott quirked his brow, and fired something at Tubbo, who replied simply. He said something else that wiped the soft smile off the bee's face.

Tubbo put his hands on his hip and went on a rant about something, his accent made words vibrate, like how one would roll their R's.

Scott decided to back down from whatever it was. He jestured to Techno, and the bee's mouth quirked up into a grin.

He said something to Scott, who then turned to the human.

He said your name sounds much more like a hybrid name. His eyes sparkled with laughter. Also to visit the library and look at flower meanings.

"Where is the library?"

Scott apparently translated that, or something like it, and Tubbo grabbed his hand and began pulling him down a path.

Scott scolded Tubbo with a laugh, and followed, bidding a goodbye to Niki, before hurrying after them.

Tubbo flitted around the beautiful building, before finding the book he wanted. The bee shoved the book into the human's hands with a grin.

Techno flipped open the book, and turned to orange tulips.

Orange tulip:

To understand

Techno smiled lightly, and tucked the flower in his hair, right behind his ear.

"Thank you." He said, tilting his head down.
