A newborn shrieked with fear but no one heard her.

In the cold winter night, she was wrapped in just a thin white cloth.

She shivered from the cold dry air that surrounded her as she struggled to breath.

Her tears turned into icicles and it burned her skin.

She cried until her throat became hoarse.

Her guardian angel cried with her as he begged the gods to let her live.

But the gods had other plans.

They had to take away the Angel's wings away from him in order to save the newborn.

The Angel was terrified of the pain but he could not see the newborn struggling either so he agreed.

As the Angel cried, the newborn healed and her face sparkled like diamonds in the dark eerie night.

The Angel's wings became ashes and were sent to the newborn so that she could become stronger.

The Angel felt proud of himself and thanked the gods.

But He had to ask for one last wish.

'Now that I don't have my wings, can I become a human too? She needs someone to take care of her' He tried to reason with the gods.

'But dear Angel, the world is cruel out there and you may face many hardships' One of the gods said.

'Yes I'm aware of it but look at her, she doesn't deserve to live miserably, does she?' He argued.

'We will give you one chance to prove and if you fail, she will have to die' The gods had made their decision.

'I agree' The Angel sighed defeatedly.
