The Cost for change (The Old Man with Enormous Wings)

The unanswered question of the old man who had enormous wings, and specifically how he came from living in a chicken coop and the person he was before being labeled an old man with wings. The old man was an Angel that still has recollection of his past life as a sailor and god had him die in a tragic wreck on the ship he was sailing in, because he sinned through the whole course of living on earth till he truly fell in love with being a sailor. God also took his crew away from him in the wreck to make him see what his choices lead him to. The sailor was filled with regret to change the outcome of his death, the sailor had another chance to be alive and to change the past, but it also came with a cost. Unexpectedly finds out that he fell from the sky and finds himself living in the present, but is not mortal now which made him age into a weak old man and came from up above (Afterlife) and still had his wings but couldn't fly, also didn't speak the same language as the pilgrims because he was being taught a lesson with the choice he made and banished from the gates of After life by God himself. Which led him to being the old man with enormous wings.
