Why the wooden wings and halo?
(500 words max + 300 to the prompt)

The story of Veli's wings and halo begins when he was only a few weeks old. His parents had left him alone in a forest so they could travel without burden. He was left with nothing but a bandana wrapped around some scraps of food. He didn't even have a name. The viscling stumbled around the forest desperately trying to find his parents for a long while before he finally accepted that he was alone. He found a clearing with a single tree stump in the middle which had peculiar deer hooves carved into it. He set down his belongings on the odd stump before returning to the foliage to salvage whatever he could to create a temporary bed for himself.

The sound of shuffling brought his attention back to the stump in the clearing. The food lay on the wood with the bandana nowhere to be seen. The frightened viscling scurried up to the stump now, panicking, but upon reaching the stump he noticed another viscet watching him with the bandana on the opposite side. The blue-maned viscet was still a viscling like Veli, but older. The two startled each-other but after a while, they introduced themselves. From that point on, they worked together to survive, neither looking back. They found a small sheltered cave to live in and gathered food every day. Predators were never a problem and the forest felt peaceful and perfect. Cole, the older viscling, and Veli became best friends quickly and claimed to be brothers. Cole named Veli himself after they grew closer.

As a year passed Cole outgrew Veli and began to act as not only a friend but a fatherly figure. The larger viscet took care of all the gathering for the two of them and protected Veli the best he could, but neither of them would be prepared for what happened.

On a hot summer day, Veli hides in the tall grass outside of the forest in a game of hide and seek. Cole had dozed off during the game and Veli was beginning to also after the long wait, but both were shocked awake by a new scent they had never smelled before. It gave Veli a bad taste in his mouth and burned his eyes. He hoped Cole would get there soon.

After a wait that felt like forever, Veli saw Cole sprinting across the field toward him, his head turning wildly as he searched for him. Veli stood wanting to be found at that point. Cole seemed to look past Veli at something behind him before he quickly grabbed the viscling. He protested hating to be picked like a child, but he knew something had to be wrong for Cole to act like that.

Veli and Cole hid in the back of their cave, the only place they knew to run. The loud crackling and the distressed calls of the forest creatures grew louder as the stinging smell became overwhelming. Veli stayed near to Cole for comfort, but Cole seemed distant with his eyes locked on the entrance of the cave. Neither of them knew what was going on, but instinct told them it was bad.

Flames reached for the two viscets huddling against the stone wall. The air in the cave was scorching hot and Veli could hardly see through the smoke. A loud boom sounded outside as a fresh tree fell in front of the cave splitting the flames in two. The boom stunned Veli, rooting him to the spot as he felt Cole rush past him onto the log. He disappeared as flames enveloped the log leaving Veli with no escape.

Veli awoke feeling light and cold. Only a few embers remained on the ground glowing faintly. Veli tried to call out for Cole, but no sound escaped his throat. Veli had lost his life in the fire and became trapped in the forest as a spirit. He tried every day a new direction to leave the forest, but he would always end up back where he started.

The guardian and protector of the forest Cerus heard of the viscling's efforts. He was a deer who had previously terrorized the forest, but it wasn't until he lost his life to a falling tree he changed. He was forced to observe the forest's natural beauty as a spirit to learn his lesson He had no sight but he could still sense Veli's distress. He approached the viscling with an offer. He didn't have the power to revive Veli, but he could give him a chance to interact with the world again. He presented him with his halo and wings. They allowed him to become a physical being again, but only as long as they lasted. Once the wood was broken he would become a spirit again.

Why the wooden wings/halo? (500 words max) - anakin was special. not in the way your parents or teacher say, 'oh, you're special in your own way', no, anakin was special in a different way.
-
anakin had become an orphan as an egg, when his mother died from severe frostbite. his father had died way before he was born. anakin had remembered one soft cooing from his mother before she died; "anakin, my sweet, someday you'll be able to travel the work on wooden wings,". and that's just what he did.
-
with no mother to help him along, anakin had sat in the middle of the snowy forest, wailing, confused about where his mother was, and when she would be coming back. he knew he had a mother, because of what she said to him. a flowery viscet had come along later that day, and taken him in. he had fed anakin, and told him how to survive. he also gave anakin his twig halo and wooden wings. anakin now knew what to do; he was going to do what his mother told him to do. travel the world on wooden wings.
-
the world ended up being bigger than anakin had thought. huge cliff walls and rivers had blocked his path. he got frustrated over time, and eventually gave up. a winged viscet ended up crashing near a cliff wall, near anakin, and naturally anakin rushed to help. the newcomer was confused on why anakin had his twig wings and halo, and anakin told her everything. anakin brought her to his brother figure, and told him that she had crashed near the cliff wall that was holding them in from the outside world.
-
one year later, anakin was still small, but the winged viscet had woven some feathers into his wings, and he had learned how to fly somewhat. he had made a settlement just inside the cliff walls, and had started work on tunneling through the cliff wall. he truly wanted to help other viscets, and this was just the beginning.
-
the halo is extremely special to anakin, because it reminds him of what he is working for; the life of dead and alive viscets. the wings are special because they helped him walk his world; which is what his deceased mother told him to do.

Amxen no.XV | Jay | Male

Jay thinks of himself as a Guardian Angel, even though he is just a normal boy. His eternal youth makes him oddly optimistic about the world around him, and seems in tune with it. He always seems to be there at the right time, just in time to save someone in danger. Human, dog, cat, Viscet, whatever. He'll save anyone who needs him.
One day, Jay found himself in the backyard of a suburban family's home. The yard, to him, was large, however it was just barely larger than the average yard. From the treeline, Jay could see evidence of a child living in the home. There was a small play set a few feet from the porch, perfect for a small child. Jay observed that the sliding glass door on the back porch was open, yet it was slightly chilly. His eyes then shifted towards a small, inflatable pool at the other end of the yard. The past few days were oddly hot, so he thought it normal that the family would keep the pool up. What he didn't find normal was the doll in the pool. Or, perhaps...
Jay bounded across the yard to the pool. He grabbed the back of the little girl's dress and pulled her from the water. She had not been there long, but she wasn't breathing. He pressed his paws down on her chest in an effort to get her to breath. Not too much to his surprise, she began breathing again. Inside, he could here the concerned parents calling out the girl's name. In his time, Jay had mastered the art of mimicking the bark of a dog. He hid under the porch and began barking frantically to get the parents attention. As soon as they reached the door, they saw their daughter and ran to her side. The father ran in to call 911 as the mother made sure her daughter was alright.
