Our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy


Since our departure from the ship, I had felt terribly uneasy. The undulating movement of the ship had been unsettling upon my aged being, and for days afterward I'd battled abysmal abdominal pain. Between watching myself and helping to tend to the egg, Suli was a heroine, racing off to fetch peppermint from the garden then hurrying back to reclaim her spot atop the egg. At times she would go about rolling it, shifting it so that the sun shone upon it, and at night, assuring a steady fire was always crackling.

More often than I care to admit, I would wonder if the creature inside had perished long ago as had been my fear upon finding it, but Suli was persistent in that it still lived.

And one day, just as the sun was beginning to drop beyond the horizon and darkness began to consume the Edge, she green was proven right.

He was a tiny thing, black as the night with the most piercing orange gaze, his pupils shaped curiously like an "x", and unlike Suli, he stood upon four legs instead of two. The day Suli had hatched had been one of the happiest of my life, and again I could feel that same elation leaking into and filling my chest as I watched him break away from his shell of diamond and take in the sights around him with wide, wondrous eyes, while Suli hung back several feet before slowly approaching, as though intent to check him over.

Still I felt ill, yet better than I had in days, and nothing could stop me from taking a step closer to the Edge's newest addition. A gentle smile tugged at my dark lips. "Merlin," the name slipped off of my tongue, "Welcome to the world, little one."

[For Romani! Sorry Merlin's description is vague, I haven't completely designed him as you can see >>]
