She fell, she hurt, she lived.

And through all the pain of her experiences,

she still had hope.

Watching the little bundle get rocked back and forth she couldn't help but feel a tang of jealously as she thought about how much she wanted to be the chosen guardian for such a creature. For so long she had tried time and time again only to fall short of the goal. She had questioned her abilities many times over again trying to find a suitable reason that she would be denied on so many occasions. Was it that she was a horrible mother? She had lost Levex to the great unknown tragically so did that throw up a huge red flag to say she was not worthy? Before letting her emotions begin to get the better of her she checked herself thinking back to what Kaj had told her. For some unknowing reason he had faith in her abilities and regardless on the situation he would help her to stand on her own four feet. That was what she needed to do right now before she extinguished all hope. Closing her eyes for a short second she took a calming breath and looked up towards the beautiful egg once more. She could do this, if she was chosen to.

As she allowed the many voices to fade back in she listened as the elephant spoke with such kindness to each and everyone who had come out. Naturally many would walk away empty handed but for one lucky individual they would have a lifetime of happiness. As the final deliberation came she found the exquisite orb being handed down to her. Staring at it in a moment of complete shock she lowered her muzzle to gently touch the warm shell as if to make she she was not dreaming. Inside the creature pulsed in response to her touch making her heart soar high above the clouds, this was really happening! A single tear of joy trickled down from her eye as she turned her head back to the elephant with a smile and eyes misty from the wave of emotion hitting her. She had not felt this way since the day her sons had entered this world two years ago and then again when Kaj had confessed his love. "I can never thank you enough for entrusting this beautiful soul to me. It will be well taken care of and shall grow up knowing the beautiful elephant that so kindly helped him or her on its way. Thank you." She replied gratefully from the deepest chamber of her heart.

What would this little guy grow up to be she wondered silently to herself completely mesmerized by the egg's beauty. Whatever it was all she knew was that she would love it like her own flesh and blood and never let anything happen to it. This whole experience was beyond words and she would be forever in debt to the elephant for bestowing such a treasure into her life.
