Spread Your Wings

‘Holy shit.’ He sat rigid at her feet looking up at her. ‘Mother of God.’ But somewhere deep inside he knew. He just knew. She flapped her wings gently; there was more than enough room. ‘My apartment is too small for me to flap my wings. I do try to fly a couple of times a week to keep them healthy and I do love it so.’ She smiled down at him. ‘They are absolutely beautiful. I can see through them.’ He felt a slight breeze as her wings swept back and forth before she closed them and tucked them away before resuming her place on the floor. He was curious enough to lean forward and look behind her. The wings had completely disappeared back into her body. ‘Your wings have caused the pain that you have been experiencing. They are ready to break free for the first time. This first time’ she reached out and took his hands ‘will be agonising. But it is only this one time. Thereafter it is just a case of concentrating and they will appear.’ She watched as he absorbed the information. ‘Will mine be like yours?’ he asked. Willing to believe just about anything now. It had been a very strange day. He was a faerie for crying out loud. ‘Similar, but not exact. How tall are you?’ ‘Six five.’ ‘Then I would estimate the length to be eight feet, width up to sixteen feet. Yours will be of a slightly heavier grade in order to take your weight. You are nicely muscled without being bulky. This will help. If you were to increase your weight, your wings would not be able to carry you. Weight is a problem for us. The slimmer the better.’ ‘I can’t see you having a problem. You are all around beautiful.’ He squeezed gently on her fingers. Relaxed now. ‘So what happens now? What do I do?’ ‘Right then. Now remember, the pain will be severe.” She lifted both hands and pushed the air out toward the walls. “I’ve put a temporary soundproofing on this room only. If you wish to scream, then scream, believe me it will help. We all get through this.’ She smiled at him. ‘And you will also get one major erection.’ Her gaze went to his loins where his manhood rested. She secretly couldn't wait to see his reaction. ‘I’m amazed I don’t have one now simply looking at you.’ He freely admitted, thankful that his penis seemed to be asleep. ‘My dreams of you were very erotic.’ She smiled. ‘Your body knows. It just waits.’ She took a deep breath and let go his hands. ‘Now close your eyes and take a minute to breathe deeply. Try not to think of anything. Calm thoughts.’ She watched him closely, his heart song was filling her mind. ‘Rest your chin on your chest. Breathe deeply. That’s right. Now roll your shoulders forward. When the pain starts it will be mild. Get to your feet then and hold my hands. Think wings, just wings. Picture them in your mind at full spread. Think wings.’ She watched as his head slowly lifted. His eyes were closed but his face was etched with pain. There was a slight ‘pop’ and he groaned. ‘Stand up now’ she sprang to her feet and caught hold of his hands and pulled him up. The tips of his wings started to appear above his shoulders. His entire body shock but he locked his knees as the pain ripped through him and he cried out, then he screamed and he screamed. Tears ran down his cheeks he was unable to stop them. He was shaking so badly he stumbled a number of paces to the side. Aurora kept a tight hold of his hands. ‘Nearly done Aaron, one more minute.’ It had taken ten agonising minutes for his wings to unfurl. ‘Oh Aaron they are beautiful.’ At last she felt his hand relax their bone-crushing grip on hers. Agony dulled to severe, to bad, to bearable, before he could even speak amidst his gasps for air. His entire body trembled from head to foot. ‘Is it over?’ His voice was a whisper of sound. He wanted desperately to sit down but didn’t think he should. He didn’t like to admit it, but he was afraid to open his eyes and look over his shoulder. He expected to be standing in pools of his own blood. ‘Look at me’ she said gently as he lifted his face. The tears had stopped but his face was wet and his eyes red rimmed and puffy. She placed a finger against his lips and one against her own and thought ‘Can you hear me?’ ‘Yes’ he blinked and answered with his mind. ‘Perfectly.’ ‘Then spread your wings.’ Aurora stepped away to get the full effect. It was rewarding to see the change happen. The shimmer was slow to form on this his first time. It appeared to be a pale pearly blue with flashes of rich sapphire thrown in for good measure. Then whoosh.
