Legends of Belariath

Taalkonis

When he was born, and the feathers first grew in, they were the deep midnight blue, with randomized black splotches, this immediately labled him as an outcast, a bad omen. As he grew up, he learned to deal with being looked at baddly. Over time he became reclusive, even as a child.

When he molted once be became a true adolecent, his feathers had gained something, a number of spots and odd colorations. His wings now resembled the clear night sky, if one looked close enough, they would see perfect, tiny images of distant galaxies, and other things, such as nebulas.

When his wings gained this new attribute the others of his home didnt know what to make of him, a bad omen? a sourced of unluck? they simply didnt know, but his wings were of the Night sky. With this, they cast him out, and he was glad to leave. He learned to survive on his own, in any way.

At some point his wings gained even his curiosity, and he sought out seers, it didnt matter what race, he even started to act more Chirot than Torian, becoming nocturnal. All seers he ever found told him the same thing in some way or another " your place is beyond the sky ". He has yet to figure out its meaning.
