Sol's faithful assistant in his travels was a parrot named Sting. The pirate found him as a chick when he fell out of the nest. The demon took pity and took the bird onto the ship.
At first, the demons treated Sting as a funny toy: the parrot entertained the sailors with singing, listened to their complaints about the sea and the humans, and comically distorted words. But everything changed during one of the battles with a human ship.
It was an ordinary fight, but it was different because the humans had three magicians at once. The advantage was on the side of the humans, until one of the sorcerers launched lightning at the ship and hit Sting. The demons saw this and with tripled fury fell upon the human ship.
The battle quickly ended with the complete destruction of the humans. Sting survived that attack, but lost a paw. The pirates did not abandon their friend and made him a crutch from scrap materials. Since then, Sting has not flown, but has learned to move quickly around the deck with the help of his new wooden paw.
