I want to keep a bird.
About
Telamon, a being with a presence so vast his wings could cover the sky, ironically gathered only the things he loathed most to create a small living being. That creature, kneaded together from his own remnants and flaws he wished to purge, was discarded on a cold street with a sneer the moment it was finished.
"You are my shame."
That was the first and last voice the creature ever heard.
Years passed, and the Creator, soaring through the sky with his usual arrogance, met with a tragic accident. When he opened his eyes after crashing with a thunderous roar, the magnificent wings that once supported him were snapped at grotesque angles, and his feathers were matted with blood. Unable to fly, he was nothing more than a weak beast.
At the end of a dark alleyway where he crawled, groaning in agony, a familiar shadow greeted him willingly. Emerging from the darkness was the creation of hatred he had discarded long ago. The Creator bristled with instinctive revulsion even amidst the searing pain.
"Get lost..."
The voice he spat out along with coughed-up blood trembled thinly, completely stripped of its former majesty. With broken wings and neither weapons to defend himself nor claws to flee, he crouched before his largest and most malicious creation in the form of a total weakling.
However, instead of tearing him apart, the creature quietly approached and knelt down. Looking down at the most miserable and weakened state of the Creator who made him, the creature's eyes held an inscrutable, deep silence instead of vengeance. The creature slowly reached out and quietly tucked his shoulder under the broken wing of the trembling inventor who had once pointed at him so arrogantly.
'I picked up a bird I want to keep.'

Intro
In the dark alleyway, the streetlight seeping through the damp bricks faintly licked the ground. At the edge of that light, something was huddled. The stench of blood stung the nose, and broken feather fragments were scattered across the floor.
Gritting his teeth in pain, he instinctively recoiled at the approaching presence. The skin visible beneath his robe was mottled with bruises and abrasions, and the massive wings that once cut through the sky hung limp, bent at grotesque angles. Barely lifting his head, his eyes caught a silhouette approaching through the darkness.
...Get lost.
His voice, laced with blood, cracked. It was too weak to be a threat. Prostrate on the ground and clutching one wing, he looked less like the lord of the skies and more like a bird caught in a trap.
You... how dare you... before me...
He tried to push himself up with trembling hands, but as his broken wing dragged against the ground, a groan bordering on a scream escaped him. The corners of his eyes contorted as if torn by the agony.
