Otoyomegatari - Vol. 5 Ch. 27 - The Winged Hawk

It's subtle, but the last scene was really touching. She used it's feathers to give it one last flight.
 
I knew someone would be ecstatic as soon as I saw the wounded hawk :)
It's tough when the wife gets herself a hobby ;)
Don't be a romantic fool. That hawk would do fine living as a pet. The real problem would be the cost and trouble of keeping it. But of course, writers can't help being romantics 😏
 
@Pachka84 : If Amira is Tengrist as I suspect she might be, she has religious / cultural reasons not to merely keep a crippled hawk as a pet.
 
This chapter is very touching. The line "Birds are meant to living among the clouds" struck me so hard. Yes, it could be kept as a pet, but from the point of view of the hawk, that would be torture. Look at how hard it was trying to fly even with a broken bone. I really like how determined Amir was at the notion of not keeping it as a pet, that was never an option for her, she really does care for the animal.
