#winged!deceit

Did you touch them? Did you hold them?

Did they follow you to town?

They make me feel I’m falling down.

They make me feel I’m falling down.

Was there one you saw too clearly?

Did they seem to real to you?

They were kids that I once knew.

They were kids that I once knew.

A redraw of this old piece

@thatsthat24

Alternate version below the cut because I messed up on the coloring and shading the first time and wanted to re-do it lol

In this AU the dark sides are in a literal pit and it is Virgil’s mission to one day be able to fly up there and help Dee and Remus escape

———————————————————————

He spread his ink black wings for the umteenth time this hour. His arm had a gash in it and he had many bruises from falling so many times, but he was determined. He had promised his companions he would get them out but he couldn’t do that without actually reaching the entrance to the pit. He jumped with all his force and started flying up. It was probably 1000 meters from the bottom to the top and he normally didn’t have enough stamina to reach the top. About half way he started to get tired but pushed on. He kept on going and realized he had gotten farther than he ever has before. The adrenaline started to go through his veins at the excitement of today maybe being the day where he gets out. Remus and Dee had been watching and realized he has been up longer than before and ran to see. They saw him touch the ledge and with one pump of his wings, pulled himself into the light sides area. They started cheering and waited for him to come back, and waited, and waited...

I’m not very good at drawing wings but I tried lmao-
