Finally, their family is complete. Neaera doesn’t know enough to think that there might be other members out there - that there is a father, somewhere, that is half to blame for their existence. And aunts, uncles, brothers, another sister even. None of them mattered to Neaera, not in these first few moments. Her sister, her mother, and the strange little fox that was coming over towards them - this was her family. Cuddled next to Savera she felt safe once more, their world was perfect. Embers danced around them and everything felt right. She whickered to Natraj when he came over, bringing something towards them. There are two perfect eggs in the nest that he has dragged forward, and Neaera’s gold and silver eyes glance up towards Tandavi, questioning her about what they were supposed to do. Her curiosity is too strong to wait for a response, however, and she inches forward until her purple muzzle grazes against the smooth surface of the egg. As she touches it, the egg trembles - shaking in it’s spot. Neaera is so startled, she scrambles to her hooves - trembling herself as she found her legs. She calls out to her mother and sister, her wings flapping in confusion. When the egg cracks, she fears she’s broken it, that she’s destroyed it. And then there are flames spilling out of the egg, bright gold and red - matching the embers that had danced from their mother. Chirps come from the egg next and Neaera squeals with delight when her eyes meet those of the chick. |
