The Flightless Eagle

'And so it was that Sky looked upon Abunaki and saw vanity, and thus his feathers began to burn, his body shriveled, his wings became like sticks, and he was cast down from Mount Uthrun, never again able to fly to its peak. Try as he might, Abunaki was unable to traverse the mountains slopes without his wings. Unable to return to his home, but afraid to wander far without his wings, he remained at the steppes of Uthrun. Though unable to reach the peak, his brethren sometimes visit him to roost on the stick-like bones of his vestigial wings.'
