Tale of a fallen empire

Part 1

The 'accident'

B.E's pov:

All I remember was flying through the air,just gliding,minding my own business,then....that happened.

-

I flapped my wings to get above the clouds before spreading them out to glide.I had alot of free time surprisingly,I didn't expect it either but,I'm not complaining.I decided to take a flight since I haven't been able to for a few days so I really needed to.

I didn't really bother to change out my uniform,all I wanted to do was fly.It was so peaceful,even if I had to deal with my Cloak covering my wings a few times,I wasn't bothered.

But then,out of nowhere,I felt a sharp pain in my waist.I stop dead in my tracks and flap in the air as I put my hand over where I felt it.I was confused at first,that was until I saw blood when I looked back at my hand.

I didn't even have a chance to process that I was bleeding before I felt another sharp pain in my right wing joint.I was still able to kinda flap my wings but it hurt alot.Sure,I've had worse,but not when I'm godknows how many miles up in the air and bleeding!

As some point I started to feel light-headed as my wings just stopped,causing me to start falling at horrific speeds.I noticed alot of my own feathers dotted in the air as my vision started to blur.

I didn't give up though as I looked at my surroundings to try and stop myself from falling any faster.So,when I was right above a clearing,I expanded my wings just as I was about to fall.

It hurt that bad,and because of my waist that I didn't even last a few seconds in the air before I plopped on what I figured was snow.

Indeed it was snow as I started to feel it melt into my clothes on spots that came into contact with it.I attempted to get myself up,ultimately stumbling back onto my knees as I held my waist.

Was I really going to die out here?Some random spot?I felt something trickle down my chin as I wiped it of to see what it was,blood.

I then started coughing as more of the scarlet liquid came out and onto the snow.I felt as if I was about to pass out,but I still tried to get up to the best of my ability,being able to stable myself for a few seconds before just falling back down.

I felt my wings and tail just lie on the snow as I felt myself become weaker from the loss of blood.I wasn't going to give up that easy though.I'm the British empire,I don't die,even if you think I'm dead,I'll still be alive.

But I then remembered Britain,how will he react at my disappearance?

"Britain,I need to..get back.."I was able to just mumble as I tried to get up again,being able to for another few seconds as I stumble towards a tree.

I used it to balance myself for the time being as I coughed up more of the scarlet liquid.

"British empire never dies,..the sun will,never set..on the British empire-"I only just mumble again as I felt my legs give way beneath me.Causing me to almost lie back on the snow.

I then freeze in my tracks as I hear a gun click right in front of me,I wanted to look up to see who it was,but I couldn't.

"No,the sun will set on the British empire."I was able to look up at this point as I get very surprised at who it was.
