Wingkin Stories

The Blackwing's Burden Meet Liam Wyllan, known as The Blackwing, a justice-seeking Air Wizard with raven wings. He protects the oppressed, driven by a hidden past: he's the illegitimate son of a human noble, forced to conceal his Wingkin heritage in a world that enslaves his people. Liam carries the weight of his people's suffering and a powerful secret-a devastating Sonic Scream he's rarely allowed to use. He believes only an act of unparalleled heroism can break the chains of prejudice. Now, facing the perilous Dark Card quest, Liam sees his chance to become the hero his people need and finally claim his true identity.

As an Otherkin being who often experiences phantom wings, I want to be able to fly and be free again. This comes with some more negative thoughts, however, and this story explores how it affects me. I wrote this as a vent and a way of encouraging myself to keep on going, so it isn't really meant to be that good. I'm only posting it in case someone else can connect to it and be motivated to keep living. Cover art by me, tw for suicidal thoughts. Edit from the future: Since writing this I have realized the phantom limbs I felt on my back were not wings, but tentacles from being kin with Nightmare Sans. I am going to leave this up, however, in case anyone is able to connect to it. Edit #2: I do have phantom wings! They're feathered wings from being kin with a winged version of Ink Sans.
