I’m Free

I'm free

Finally

After years of waiting, I'm free

Free

Free from the scientists who kept me

The wizards who captured me

The guards who toyed with me

Free

I'm free

But there's one thing I'll miss

Miss, about that laboratory in the heart of magic

That I was imprisoned in

It's him

Him with the golden hair

Tan skin

Baby blue eyes

Those glasses that seemed to be able to do anything

A cover for the intelligence hidden behind

I'll miss him

When he set me free that day

Broke my chains

Opened the window

Did his magic to heal my thin wings

I almost said "no"

Almost stayed behind with him

Almost let myself get killed all over again, again

But he said,

"Go free"

"Go to your family, your friends"

"Don't worry about me"

"Go on, leave"

So now

I'm free

At a cost

A fee

But I left

No regrets

I'm free

I'm free

Now, I'm not sure if I interpreted the challenge correctly. But it was a bit vague so I just went along with it~

This "takes place" in another fantasy world of mine.

Magic is a fairly normal aspect of life, though not everyone knows magic.

The narrator is a humanoid magical creature, much like a fairy.

The "heart of magic" refers to the "capital" of the island where the "countries" are situated. It is called "Magic Heart" so I supposed it would be appropriate to call it "heart of magic", as it is also the center of magic on the island.

The lab is a famous/infamous lab located in Magic Heart.

And the island is called Avontalis or Avontalia (either) , for those who want to know.
