"You." The word chilled him. He cringed, expecting some kind of reprimand, perhaps another curse, but what he hears is something completely different. Between rasping breaths and heaving coughs, he hears the truth of it. He lifted his crown from the ashen ground, blinking the dust out of violet eyes, wincing as he was reminded once more of the burns that peeled at his face. He rose, and wandered to her head just as she declared him the father to this child, he the guardian, the protector, the mother, the brother, the teacher.. "Do not fail me…" her last words resounded in his head, as he pressed his maw against the doe's brow just as the life left her, and she succumbed to death. He had to wonder what had possessed her to make such claims - had the fever that took her life taken her mind as she had somehow seen him fit to raise the last of her kind? He blew upon her still face, gently, as if his breath would give her soul wings into the afterlife. "I will do my best." He spoke to her, quietly, praying that if he said the words, maybe they would become true. The gentle glow of the orb caught his attention, and very carefully, he made to pick it up, to cradle it between chin and chest. It was awkward, and yet, the orb seemed to permeate a warmth of his own. As his skin rubbed against it, he felt something he could not describe - a sense of responsibility, a paternal and deep, permanent feeling that he would sooner lose his horn then lose this orb. You are light and dark. Ice and fire. The doe's final words repeated around his crown, as he made his way towards some place he could keep this unhatched youth safe - and perhaps get his wretched burns attended to. [ *squees* I would like it to have the Light and Dark abilities - I will be using my 2 Companion Abilities pass to allow this. I will update its name once I have come to a decision. Thank you! ] |
